Martha Stewart had a few choice words for Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski after he failed to tag her in an Instagram photo that was taken at her holiday party.
The 78-year-old lifestyle guru inadvertently started a hilarious social media feud with the 35-year-old food expert when she called him out for not giving her or her dogs a shoutout in his post.
‘Socializing at Christmas parties,’ Antoni captioned a picture of himself petting a horse in a stable at Martha’s home in Bedford, New York.
Call out: Martha Stewart started a hilarious ‘faux feud’ with Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski after he failed to tag her in a photo that was taken at her holiday party this week
Start of it all: Antoni, 35, shared a snapshot of himself petting a horse at Martha’s home in Bedford, New York, writing: ‘Socializing at Christmas parties’
Keeping it real: Martha called him out for not tagging her in his snapshots from the party, saying she and her four dogs were both ‘bummed’
He also shared a snapshot of himself cuddled up with the host’s four dogs in the backseat of an SUV, writing: ‘With my clique at the Christmas party.’
Martha didn’t feel like she was getting the credit she deserved and was quick to respond to the slight.
‘Dear Antoni: this is @marthastewart48,’ she wrote. ‘You did not tag me on this photo of my stable nor the photo of my beautiful dogs Han, Qin, Bete Noir, and Creme Brulee.
‘We are bummed about that because you have so many followers and you are [sic][ my Christmas cookies!!!’ she continued, adding: ‘You were nice not to post the forbidden scenes and we thank you!!!’
All smiles: While at the fête, the food expert took a photo with Martha’s beloved dogs Han, Qin, Bete Noir, and Creme Brulee
So sorry: Antoni quickly rectified the situation by tagging Martha in both the photos, and he also issued a sweet apology on his Instagram Story
Ben’s agent and friend, Ben Levine, couldn’t resist piling on his own grievance, commenting: ‘@marthastewart48 don’t feel bad! I didn’t get tagged either for taking the picture.’
Antoni didn’t waste any time rectifying the situation by tagging Martha in both the photos. He also issued a sweet apology on his Instagram Story.
‘Dearest @marthastewart48 (I got your insta right this time), apologies for not respectfully mentioning dear doggos Empress Chin, Emperor Han, Bête Noire, and cuddle monster Créme Brûlée. They deserve recognition also I rewatch your cabbage roll demo with your dear mum Mrs. Kostyra more often than I care to admit,” Porowski wrote.
‘Also @moll_doll23 would’ve wacked me across the head if I posted said forbidden scenes,” Porowski added.
Not done: The Queer Eye star returned to Instagram on Wednesday to share a photo of himself warming his hands by the fire pit outside of Martha’s home
All is forgiven: Antoni asked Martha to follow him on social media and she complied
Whoops! The domestic goddess admitted she never meant to start a ‘feud’ with him
No worries: Antoni said he was happy to be in a ‘faux feud’ with her, adding that she deserves ‘all the acknowledgment’ for the party
The so-called feud didn’t end there, though. Antoni returned to Instagram on Wednesday to ask Martha to follow him on social media.
‘Patiently keeping my hands warm by her fire pit until @marthastewart48 follows me back,’ he captioned an image of himself outside of her Bedford home.
‘The in-caption-tag def will help,’ Comments By Celebs joked in the comments.
‘Sure did,’ Antoni replied when Martha followed him back.
The domestic goddess went on to point out that she never meant to start a war with him over his posts.
Guests: On Monday, Martha posted photos of herself at her party with Martha Stewart Living exec Kevin Sharkey (center) and photographer Douglas Friedman (left)
Aww: In the caption, the lifestyle guru said they are like the ‘fun sons’ she never had
‘I think we started a social media “feud” which was not the point. I just wanted you to acknowledge my fire, my animals and my food which you seemed to love???’ she commented.
‘I’ll faux-feud with you any day. Your adorable & gentle pups, latkes w caviar, Virginia ham. and hospitality (oh and all those cookies) deserve ALL the acknowledgment,’ Antoni wrote back.
Martha gave her 550,000 followers a behind-the-scenes look at the bash on Monday when she posted photos of herself enjoying a festive cocktail at her party with Martha Stewart Living exec Kevin Sharkey and photographer Douglas Friedman.
‘I am fortunate to have befriended a few “younger” men who fill a big void in my life as the talented handsome and fun sons I never had!!! @seenbysharkey and @douglasfriedman could easily fill in as Alexis Stewart’s brothers,’ she wrote, adding: ‘My warm sweater coat is by max mara.’

Two legends: Martha ran into romance novelist Danielle Steel at Bergdorf Goodman on Wednesday amid her faux feud with Antoni
It’s been a busy week for the cookbook author, who had a celebrity run-in while doing some last-minute holiday shopping amid her faux feud with Antoni.
Martha posted a picture of herself with romance writer Danielle Steel at the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman on Wednesday, and they were both, coincidentally, wearing head-to-toe cream outfits.
‘The great novelist @officialdaniellesteel and I shared an elevator this morning at @bergdorfs,’ she wrote. ‘We met years ago and caught up quickly. Danielle is on her 185th book and I am on my 96th book.
‘Looks like I have some serious catching up to do!!!!!’ she added. ‘Happy holidays Danielle.’
