Martha Stewart Shines at Premiere of Her New Netflix Doc
Martha Stewart was giving M O T H E R as she stepped onto the Paris Theater red carpet on Oct. 21 for her Netflix doc. The documentary traces Snoop’s high-society sidekick’s journey from teen model to America’s first self-made female billionaire—and yes, she’s speaking freely (pun intended), from marriage dramz to her orange jumpsuit days. In classic Martha style, she’s direct AF. To women dealing with a cheating spouse, her advice? “He’s a piece of s---. Get out.” And when asked about her own early affair, she quips, “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.” Touché, Martha. She also opens up about her 2004 conviction, claiming the prosecutors were “idiots” who deserved “a spin in a Cuisinart on high.” But of course, she bounced back in high style: “I just could’ve been a miserable, has-been housewife, but I didn’t let that happen.” Catch the queen of lifestyle, business, and all things fabulous—Martha—now streaming on Netflix.
