Martha Stewart is calling a foul on Jalen Brunson.
The lifestyle maven confronted the New York Knicks player almost a year after he broke her big toe during a courtside collision.
“It wasn’t your fault. It was my fault for wearing open-toed shoes,” she admitted during Brunson and Josh Hart’s “Roommates Show” on Sunday.
The 84-year-old then recalled, “You jumped up really fast and I remember saying, ‘It’s OK.’ But you had no idea that you had hurt me. I didn’t say you hurt me. I said it was OK, but it wasn’t OK at all.”
After the game, the cookbook author headed to the Hospital for Special Surgery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where they confirmed she had a fracture.
“They’ve named it the ‘Stewart-Brunson fracture,’” Stewart joked. “I have an X-ray, I’m going to leave you a picture of it. It was actually a break, so anyways, it’s better now. It took one year to heal.”
Now, the Emmy winner looks back at that May night as something “silly, stupid and funny.”
Despite there being no hard feelings, Brunson said he doesn’t feel “too great” about the situation.
“Have you broken anyone else’s toes?” Stewart joked, to which the 29-year-old responded, “Not that I know of.”
During their chat, the duo confirmed that Brunson called her over FaceTime to apologize for hurting Stewart.
“And he sent me a basketball for my grandson,” Stewart added.
During the May 21 Knicks playoff game against the Indiana Pacers at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Brunson crashed into Stewart, which ended with her fracturing her toe.
Stewart talked about the incident during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in December.
“Never, ever wear open-toed shoes to a game like that when you’re sitting on the floor,” the TV host warned when Jimmy Fallon noted that she was wearing strappy gold sandals to the game.
Stewart also shared her own observation about the 6-foot-2 competitor, saying, “He’s not even big… he has big feet though.”
