Charli XCX Takes a Stand

In a recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live," pop sensation Charli XCX took a bold stance by throwing shade at New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser while discussing the ongoing drama surrounding Martha Stewart.

Brat Summer

During her engaging monologue, the 32-year-old "Boom Clap" singer opened up about what it means to embody a "brat" attitude. "I have to say ‘Brat Summer’ has been a wild ride," Charli declared. "So many people have asked me, ‘What is brat?’ And honestly, it’s just an attitude. It’s a vibe." She then drew a sharp connection to Stewart’s recent remarks about Peyser in her new Netflix documentary titled "Martha."

Martha Stewart's Reflections

In the documentary, Stewart reflects on her tumultuous past, including her notorious insider trading trial in 2004. She recounted how Peyser, who reported on the trial, had the audacity to write harsh criticism about her in the New York Post. "The New York Post lady was there, just looking so smug," Stewart said, adding, “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.”

Andrea Peyser Strikes Back

This statement prompted a fierce response from Peyser, who is, contrary to Stewart's claim, very much alive. In a fiery rebuttal, she took to the Post to declare, "I’m alive, bitch!" She accused Stewart of still harboring obsessive thoughts about her demise, despite the TV mogul’s glaring legal troubles from years past. Peyser went on to call Stewart a "perfectionist so petty and abusive," and dismissed Stewart's concerns about her career and personal life, claiming that the media diva is simply obsessed with her.

Stewart's Sarcasm

Following this exchange, Stewart didn’t shy away from addressing Peyser’s sharp retort. At the Philadelphia Conference for Women, the 83-year-old media icon sarcastically acknowledged, "She wrote this very scathing article today in the New York Post — my favorite newspaper." Stewart added that all the drama might just boost viewership of her documentary.

The Bigger Picture

This public feud not only showcases the tensions between established celebrities like Stewart and outspoken columnists like Peyser, it also reflects the evolving nature of celebrity culture in an era where social media and public perception can dramatically shift the narrative. With all eyes on Charli XCX, Stewart, and Peyser, this spat is sure to keep fans and viewers entertained while highlighting the complexities of fame and media relationships.
