Martha Stewart wasn’t done cooking up her beef with Ina Garten.
The Netflix star, 83, addressed her feud with her former friend and fellow lifestyle brand maven while appearing as the guest bartender on Sunday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live” with host Andy Cohen.
It got messy at the bar when the Bravo host asked Stewart if she had read Garten’s new book, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens,” which details the Food Network star’s rocky childhood and rapid rise to culinary fame.
“I’ve read parts of it,” Stewart responded when Cohen asked if she had “read the part about yourself.” The “WWHL” host asked, “What was your take?” before Stewart said back: “She can write whatever she wants.”
Martha Stewart: ‘Unfriendly’ Ina Garten stopped talking to me when I went to prison
When Stewart’s BFF Snoop Dogg, the rap mogul and judge on NBC’s “The Voice,” asked what Garten wrote about his friend, Cohen told him how “Ina said that they fell out because she moved to Connecticut.” Stewart said that Garten’s claims were “not true” before Snoop Dogg provided backup, adding that “Martha don’t fall out with people.”
Stewart refuted Garten’s claims, telling Cohen that the pair fell out of favor “after I went to jail,” repeating her viral comments from last month. Snoop Dogg jokingly said “that’s when I stepped in,” in response to his longtime business partner’s comment about her time in federal prison.
“When one friend goes out the door, another friend comes in the door,” Cohen said.

A day after her “WWHL” appearance, Stewart told People magazine on Monday that Garten’s “into her own thing” and “that’s okay” in response to questions about repairing the pair’s friendship.
Martha Stewart previously called Ina Garten ‘unfriendly’ in a profile
The entrepreneur’s comments about Garten renewed the pair’s feud from earlier this fall.
Last month, Stewart called out the Barefoot Contessa in a profile for The New Yorker about the latter’s life and career, telling the outlet that Garten stopped talking to her when she went to prison for insider trading in 2004.
“When I was sent off to Alderson Prison, she stopped talking to me,” Stewart told The New Yorker in an interview published on Sept. 9. “I found that extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.” However, Garten told the outlet the former friends lost touch when Stewart spent more time at a new property in Bedford, New York.
The lifestyle guru served an infamous five-month sentence for lying to federal investigators about a stock sale. In March of 2005, she was released from Federal Prison Camp Alderson in West Virginia
After Stewart’s comments to The New Yorker, her publicist and friend Susan Magrino tried to clarify to the outlet that the ex-Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model was “not bitter at all and there’s no feud.”
The New Yorker chronicled the rise and fall of Stewart’s relationship with the Food Network star. According to the piece, Stewart was a major fan of the famous lemon bars at Garten’s now-shuttered specialty food store in the Hamptons.
Later, the pair formed a personal friendship and professional relationship. In 2000, the former “Martha Stewart Show” host’s production company launched a show starring Garten for the Food Network called “Someone’s in the Kitchen with Ina,” which didn’t make it to air.
