Another day, another juicy morsel of drama involving Meghan McCain, the patron princess of Arizona.

Six months after the late John McCain's daughter and the Vanderpump Rules star and Dancing With the Stars contestant engaged in a public feud over the latter allegedly cropping McCain out of a photo at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, the former View cohost slammed Madix on a new episode of her Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat podcast.

McCain recalled positive interactions with Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn at the celebratory April event, but noted that Madix seemed disinterested in engaging with her. She said that she posed for a photo with a large group of people, including O'Connell, Romijn, and Lala Kent, but that Madix ultimately edited her and her controversial husband, Ben Domenech, out of the shot.

"I post it, she reposts I think Jerry O'Connell's picture, and cuts me and my friends out of it," the conservative commentator said. "I was so confused and shocked, so I called my boss, and I was like, 'FYI, this is causing unnecessary drama. Also, like, I didn't even talk to her. What's happening?'"

Madix's team responded to the claim, noting she had "no agenda" with the reposted image.

"Cut to: She now blocks me on Instagram," McCain continued. "I found out on accident. I would've respected you if you just said, 'I don't f--- with Republicans. I don't like Meghan McCain' — just say that. Don't come up with this weird story and then block me afterward."

McCain finished the segment by calling her interaction with Madix "mean girl stuff," and cautioned the TV personality from treading on her turf the same way in the future.

"If you are a person who's coming to my town, with my people, in my industry, the White House Correspondents' Dinner, it's a time we come together, happily," the 39-year-old host said. "It's a time for liberals and Republicans and everything in between, and journalists and entertainers, to celebrate covering politics."

EW has reached out to a representative for Madix for comment. Listen to McCain discuss Madix in the podcast episode above.
