The lifestyle luminaries, who have been on the publicity circuit, were once close, but in a recent interview, Ms. Stewart doubled down on her contention that Ms. Garten abandoned her during a difficult period.
During an appearance this weekend on Andy Cohen’s messy and drama-prone Bravo talk show, “Watch What Happens Live,” Martha Stewart stoked the fires of a feud between herself and her fellow culinary mogul, Ina Garten.
The pair has long presented a familiar dichotomy to the world of homemaking television, with Ms. Stewart, 83, as the blonde perfectionist and Ms. Garten, 76, as the friendly brunette. They became close friends in the 1990s, but have since had a falling out — and they have decidedly different views of what transpired.
Here is what you need to know about the feud and whose side Snoop Dogg is taking.
During a segment on Mr. Cohen’s show, he asked Ms. Stewart, who was on set with her frequent companion Snoop Dogg, if she had read Ms. Garten’s memoir, “Be Ready When the Luck Happens.” The memoir, which was published on Oct. 1, details Ms. Garten’s difficult childhood and her road to culinary fame.
“I’ve read parts of it,” Ms. Stewart responded. When Mr. Cohen asked her, “What was your take?” she said, “She can write whatever she wants.”
At this point, Snoop Dogg interjected and inquired about what Ms. Garten had written in her memoir.
“Ina said that they fell out because she moved to Connecticut,” Mr. Cohen said. (He meant to say Bedford, N.Y.)
