Welcome to Jam Session. I'm Juliet Littman. I'm Amanda Dobbins. We are joined by our colleague Justin Charity. Hi Charity, hi Justin. Hi.

Welcome, thanks for joining us.

How are you?

Thanks for having me.

I'm good.

We are convened today to discuss the Allison-Roman Instagram, or excuse me, I think my space post that surface this week as we talked about her recently and I think that's you know just kind of the way into the race conversation that is happening all over America and I think we'll start from there and you know we've

previously discussed how she had insulted Marie Condo and Chrissy Tegan in kind of identifying

them as her objection to the kind of like food and lifestyle industry and she rightfully was called out for you

know just basically focusing on two Asian women and there she had a non apology

and then I think she kind of backed away from the internet and then

Yashir Ali the journalist shared photos of her from her my space page where she was dressed up in a Halloween costume from 2008 where she looked like she was dressed as a chola but she said she was dressed as Amy Winehouse

and she issued another apology and that is sort of

the baseline information of where we are starting.

Did I miss any of the details?

That seems right. That honestly. Did I miss any of the details? That, honestly, you made it seem pretty streamlined because I think we are, we're going to talk about this particular incident, but we're also going to talk about it in the context of just using social media in the past couple weeks and a lot of things rightfully coming together at once and it has felt like a lot which is not to say that it's in any way negative.

It's just felt like a lot.

But I think that those are the main points.

Justin, is there anything timeline-wise that you wanted to add?

No, that was a very good streamline. If anything, that was great streamlining of what is otherwise a

preposterously complicated and convoluted timeline of events.

Yeah, and I guess Justin, what was your initial reaction to Allison-Roman's interview with the new consumer back in May, which it feels much longer, but I believe that was like just about a month ago that that happened.

Well how saucy should I get about this right?
