Pop star Charli XCX called out Martha Stewart's clash with a New York Post reporter during her Saturday Night Live monologue.
The 32-year-old queen of 'brat summer' has not let the term die in the autumn, laying into Stewart for gloating about the 'death' of the journalist who covered her 2004 trial.
Charli XCX also dubbed the reporter, Andrea Peyser - who is, in fact, alive - 'brat' for her bold response to the controversial cooking show host's remarks.
She said while hosting Saturday night's show: 'I have to say, brat summer has been a crazy experience. So many people have asked me, 'What is brat?' And honestly, it's just, like, an attitude. It's a vibe.
'For example, the new Martha Stewart documentary. When Martha gets mad about an old magazine article and she says that she's glad the journalist who wrote it is dead - that is brat,' she admitted, before handing the journalist the last laugh.
'And then last Friday, when that exact journalist responded and said "Hey! I'm alive b**ch!" that is extremely brat.'
A Netflix documentary about the 83-year-old homemaker and business woman aired on October 30, delving into her upbringing, marriage and the time she spent in prison.
Stewart reflected on the negative media attention she endured at the time of her 2004 trial for securities fraud and obstruction of justice.

She said: 'New York Post lady was there just looking so smug. She had written horrible things during the entire trial.
'She’s dead now, thank goodness, and nobody has to put up with that crap she was writing all the time.'
But on November 7, Peyser took the opportunity to share her side of the story and come forward as the 'horrible' and 'dead' reporter.
She wrote: 'I'm alive b**ch! Even if the Domestic Dominatrix thinks she's finished me off.
'It’s been 20 years since Martha Stewart traded her Manolo stilettos for ballet flats, her 1,000-thread-count Egyptian cotton bedsheets for a lumpy, polyester blend-covered bunk bed — the bottom half, she moaned — as she became the most fabulous and furious inmate ever to grace Club Fed.
'Two decades later, she's still fantasizing about (plotting?) my grisly demise.'
Peyser went on to grill the cookbook author's finances, claiming she went from being a billionaire to a 'mere millionaire.'
'She’s rich. She’s beautiful, creative and temperamental. I pity her,' Peyser ended off her article.

Stewart was found guilty on counts of conspiracy and obstruction and two counts of making false statements in March 2004 after the six-week trial.
She was locked up in October that same year, before being released in March 2005 and spent a further five months in home confinement.
On social media, SNL fans have shared their reaction to Charlie XCX's dig at Stewart's mix up.
One X user wrote: 'Charli XCX bringing the drama with Martha Stewart's feud on SNL.'
'Charli XCX’s sense of humor shines through in her "SNL" monologue! She’s got the perfect mix of wit and charm to keep things fun and lively,' another said, applauding the act.
