Man... this is a huge bummer. It’s also always so distasteful and cliche to be a white woman slamming women of colour building big brands and being successful in business. Did she forget to mention Martha Stewart’s cookware or was it just the two Asian women she’s angry with?

I love what you are building. I love that it comes straight from your heart and your brilliant, creative mind. I'm so proud of you

You’re so special, Chrissy. Don’t let anyone tear you down.

Following the backlash, Roman tried to walk back and clarify her comments on Twitter. “Hi @chrissyteigen! I sent an email but also wanted to say here that I’m genuinely sorry I caused you pain with what I said. I shouldn’t have used you /your business (or Marie’s!) as an example to show what I wanted for my own career- it was flippant, careless and I’m so sorry,” she wrote. “Being a woman who takes down other women is absolutely not my thing and don’t think it’s yours, either (I obviously failed to effectively communicate that). I hope we can meet one day, I think we’d probably get along.”That could have very well been it for the feud, but the internet gonna internet. Soon people started to drag both women to the point where Teigen threw up her hands and decided to take a social media break to block out the trolls. “This is what always happens. The first day, a ton of support, then the next, 1 million reasons as to why you deserved this. It never fails,” she wrote while setting her Twitter account to private. “I really hate what this drama has caused this week. Calling my kids Petri dish babies or making up flight manifests with my name on them to “Epstein island”, to justify someone else’s disdain with me seems gross to me so I’m gonna take a little break.”Count on Teigen to cancel herself before Twitter can do it for her. No word yet on whether or not Roman's forthcoming TV show is looking for a new executive producer.[video_embed id='1954072']BEFORE YOU GO: How to make all your favourite potato chips at home[/video_embed]I’m with you.
