The row that won't die: "She has no reason to invent it." — Martha Stewart
Martha Stewart and Meghan Markle are feuding over Martha's comments questioning Meghan's homemaking credentials and her lifestyle show. Meghan publicly hit back, and the 85-year-old TV legend doubled down — telling interviewers "she has no reason to invent it." The feud has become the biggest celebrity story of the week.
At 85, Martha Stewart has nothing left to prove — and apparently, nothing left to lose. That's exactly why her feud with Meghan Markle has become the celebrity story everyone is talking about.
How It Started
The trouble began when Martha Stewart — the original queen of American homemaking — made shady comments about Meghan Markle's lifestyle show, questioning the Duchess of Sussex's credentials in a space Martha has dominated for five decades. The remarks landed in the middle of Meghan's push to establish herself in the lifestyle and wellness space, and they stung.
Meghan's Response — And Martha's Twist
Meghan didn't stay silent. Reports confirm she hit back at "things Martha Stewart has been saying about her," and the row escalated into public view. But here's where the story turns: instead of walking it back, Martha doubled down. Interviewers report her blunt career assessment of Meghan's homemaking credentials, capped with the line that made headlines: "She has no reason to invent it."
The twist? Martha has powerful allies in the court of public opinion — Megyn Kelly publicly backed her, calling her "sharp as a tack" — while the feud continues to "take a turn" by the day.
