Martha Stewart Denies Feud with Ina Garten

Martha Stewart has reignited her feud with Ina Garten by asserting that their friendship ended after her prison sentence in 2004, contradicting Garten's claim that they simply lost touch due to geographic distance. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Stewart stated, 'That’s not true,' in response to Garten's explanation in her memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens. Stewart emphasized that she found Garten's decision to stop speaking to her after her incarceration 'extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.' While Garten has firmly denied that Stewart's prison time influenced their falling out, Stewart's publicist clarified that Stewart is not bitter and insists there is no feud. The two culinary icons, who met in the 1990s, have had a complicated relationship marked by differing perspectives on their rift.
