Martha Stewart was accused of playing dirty in her simmering feud with Meghan Markle over lifestyle branding. The domestic lifestyle mogul recently questioned the Duchess of Sussex’s move from actress to royal to homemaking host. One insider claimed Stewart attacks when she feels “threatened.” The report framed the clash around As Ever, “With Love, Meghan,” and Stewart’s long-held place as America’s best-known lifestyle queen.
Martha Stewart reportedly attacks Meghan Markle when feeling threatened
As per a RadarOnline report, Martha Stewart discussed Meghan Markle’s royal visit. Stewart said they were both at a dinner party in California. She added that Meghan had “just gotten back from the palace.” Stewart said she only exchanged “a couple words” with the duchess. However, she claimed, “I know she was talking about it.”
Meanwhile, Stewart also questioned Meghan’s lifestyle career pivot. The “Martha Stewart Living” founder said it was difficult to move from acting to royalty. She then added it was harder to become “a homemaking guru on a television show.” The report connected the comment to Meghan’s Netflix series “With Love, Meghan.” It also framed the criticism around her wider lifestyle push.
However, an insider claimed Stewart’s remarks were calculated. The source said, “No one thinks it’s an accident.” They added that Stewart made Meghan Markle look bad while getting “a load of attention.” According to the source, Martha Stewart disliked “other people coming into the lifestyle space.” The insider added, “When she feels at all threatened, she goes on the attack.”
Still, the same source said Meghan did not plan a public war. The insider claimed the former “Suits” actress was “fuming” over the comments. Instead, she reportedly wanted to hit Stewart through market competition. The source said Meghan planned to take “some of her market share.” They added that Stewart’s “nasty comments” proved she was “running scared.” For Martha Stewart and Meghan Markle, the report framed the feud as a fight over lifestyle authority, not just one interview jab.
