Martha Stewart bitterly acknowledges Post columnist she said was ‘dead’ is alive: ‘My favorite newspaper’
NY Post
Martha Stewart has entered the ring.
Hours after The Post’s Andrea Peyser published a column correcting Stewart’s bizarre and wrong claim that she’s “dead,” the lifestyle entrepreneur hit back by bitterly acknowledging the story onstage.
“She wrote this very scathing article today,” Stewart bemoaned to the crowd at Thursday’s Philadelphia Conference for Women event, “in the New York Post — my favorite newspaper.”
Stewart, 83, then read aloud the headline — “’Hey Martha Stewart, you gloated about the death of a Post columnist — but I’m alive, bitch!’” to audible gasps from the audience.
“So, that will probably cause more people to watch my documentary,” the convicted felon added of her new movie “Martha,” finding the silver lining in her blatant falsehood.
Stewart, who did five months in the clink in 2004, also doubled down on her innocence, calling her securities fraud misdeeds “a crime I didn’t commit.”
