Martha Stewart claimed that former pal Ina Garten stopped speaking with her after she went to prison, in a new interview. 

The homemaking expert, 83, appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday, where she discussed rumors surrounding her friendship with the renowned American celebrity chef, 76.

While both culinary legends agree that their friendship soured in the early 2000s, they differ on the reasons for their falling out.

Garten previously claimed that they simply lost touch when Stewart — who attended the premiere of her Netflix documentary Martha on Monday  — moved away. 

However, Stewart told Cohen her friend stopped speaking with her after she was sentenced to prison in 2004. 

Cohen asked Stewart — who was joined by Snoop Dogg during the show — if she read Garten’s new memoir, Be Ready When the Luck Happens.

‘I’ve read parts of it,’ she replied.

After he inquired if she had ‘read the parts about yourself’ she said ‘Oh yes.’ 

‘What was your take?’ Andy asked.

‘She can write whatever she wants,’ Martha replied.  

After a confused Snoop asked about what Ina had written, Andy explained: ‘Ina said that they fell out because she moved to Connecticut.’

‘That’s not true,’ Stewart countered.

Meanwhile Snoop added, ‘Martha don’t fall out with people.’

Stewart then claimed that two stopped speaking ‘after I went to jail.’ 

‘Yeah, because see that’s when I stepped in,’ Snoop humorously added. 

Stewart previously addressed their falling out in a New Yorker profile of Garten, saying, ‘When I was sent off to Alderson Prison, she stopped talking to me. I found that extremely distressing and extremely unfriendly.’

Later, her publicist told the magazine that she was ‘not bitter at all and there’s no feud.’

Meanwhile Garten ‘firmly’ denied that Martha’s prison sentence had anything to do with their rift. 

Stewart and Garten met in the 1990s while living in the Hamptons. 

Garten contributed a column to Martha Stewart Living, while Stewart played a key role in securing Garten’s first book deal by taking a publisher to Garten’s specialty food store, The Barefoot Contessa. 

Martha spent five months in prison in 2004, after she was found guilty on charges including conspiracy and obstruction of justice related to the sale of a stock.

On Monday, Martha wowed while attending the premiere of her Netflix documentary, titled Martha, at Paris Theater in New York City.

She wore a lavender zip-up jacket, metallic silver pants, and peep-toe high heels. The star was joined by Sting’s wife, Trudie Styler, 70, who cut an elegant figure in a cream coat and skirt. 

Designer Tory Burch, 58, was also in attendance, and looked chic as ever in an oversized black coat with a gold belt buckle. 

Jamie Tisch, 56, rocked a beaded snakeskin coat and matching heels for the occasion. 

Writer Candace Bushnell, 65, sparkled in a glittering navy mini dress and heels. 

Others in attendance included Jane Cha Cutler, R. J. Cutler, Trevor Smith and Alina Cho.

The upcoming documentary follows the lifestyle icon all the way from her teens, when she worked as a model, to her becoming the first self-made, female billionaire in the United States, as per the Netflix press release.

The film also ‘illuminates Stewart’s upbringing in a working-class family, compels us to reconsider the scandal that sent her to prison.’

‘I was a trophy for these idiots. I was dragged into solitary, no food or water. Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high,’ Martha says in the trailer.

The documentary is set to drop on Netflix on October 30.
