The topic has since drawn national attention and led to attacks on Brooke and Maehashi has asked her fans to cool it.
“Now I know I’ve made serious allegations that this does not justify the personal attacks that I’ve seen online against Brooke Bellamy. I do not support it and I’m asking you to stop,” Maehashi.
The Sydney-based creator says it’s a business and legal dispute, but has asked for an end to the trolling and hate comments.
On Tuesday, Maehashi revealed she had made “copyright infringement allegations” against the publisher of Bellamy’s cookbook – Penguin Random House Australia.
The allegations are over her baklava and caramel slice recipes.
