Charli XCX’s hosting gig on Saturday Night Live on November 16, 2024, was filled with memorable moments, but it was her sharp comments about the ongoing cold war between Martha Stewart and Andrea Peyser that stole the show. The pop star had a lot to say about the infamous New York Post columnist, calling her out for being “extremely brat” in her response to a recent remark by Stewart.

Charli XCX’s Bold Comments on Brat Summer and Martha Stewart’s Feud

In her monologue, Charli XCX introduced viewers to her concept of “Brat Summer,” a term that encapsulates a certain rebellious attitude. As she explained it, “Brat” is more of a vibe than a concrete definition, but she offered examples to help the audience understand. Referring to a recent moment in Martha Stewart’s Netflix documentary Martha, Charli said, “In the documentary, Martha cursed at a journalist over an old magazine article and expressed her relief that the journalist was no longer alive. That is brat.”

Charli continued, adding that the situation escalated when the journalist in question, Andrea Peyser, responded with a fiery article. “That is extremely brat,” Charli quipped, mimicking the boldness of the New York columnist’s public rebuttal to Stewart’s comment. The moment highlighted the tension between the two women, which has been at the center of a long-running feud.

The Stewart-Peyser Feud: From Documentary to the Headlines

The ongoing clash between Martha Stewart and Andrea Peyser became a hot topic after Stewart made a controversial remark in her new documentary. In Martha, Stewart recalled the time during her 2004 insider trading trial when Peyser, who was covering the case for The New York Post, attended the proceedings. Stewart, in a candid moment in the documentary, said, “The New York Post lady was there, just looking so smug… She had written horrible things during the entire trial. But she is dead now, thank goodness. And nobody has to put up with the crap she was writing all the time.”

This statement, which many found shocking, was directed at Peyser, who had written extensively about Stewart during the trial. Stewart’s remark about the journalist’s death seemed to suggest that Peyser’s harsh words during the legal ordeal were no longer relevant or harmful. In response, Peyser penned an article that read, “I’m alive, bitch! Even if the Domestic Dominatrix thinks she’s finished me off.”

Peyser’s article took a more personal turn, as she accused Stewart of focusing more on attacking her than addressing her own legal troubles. She wrote, “She’s focused her fury at me,” critiquing Stewart’s choice to direct her anger at the columnist rather than focusing on her own situation, which included charges of securities fraud. Peyser also accused Stewart of being “petty” and “mean,” further stoking the flames of their rivalry.

At the Philadelphia Conference for Women on November 14, Stewart briefly addressed the ongoing drama. With her usual wit, Stewart joked that Peyser’s recent article might actually help boost the viewership of her documentary. The remark, though lighthearted, showed that Stewart had not forgotten about the years-long tension between the two.

Charli XCX’s bold comments on SNL only added fuel to the fire, further highlighting the public nature of this bitter rivalry. By calling Peyser “extremely brat” and referencing the tension in her monologue, Charli brought a new layer of attention to the already simmering feud.
