Martha Stewart Slams 'Martha' Documentary For Showing Her As 'Lonely Old Lady'
HuffPost
The home decor mogul didn’t hold back in her remarks about the Netflix film.
Martha Stewart says she’s not really feeling a lot of “Martha,” the new Netflix documentary about her life.
In a New York Times interview published Wednesday, the home decor mogul at times gushed over the R.J. Cutler-directed film, saying it “gets into things that many people don’t know anything about,” such as her kissing a stranger while on her honeymoon. But she also deemed its second half “a bit lazy.”
Stewart said that Cutler had “total access” to her archive but “really used very little,” which she called “shocking.”
“Those last scenes with me looking like a lonely old lady walking hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told him to get rid of those,” she recalled. “And he refused. I hate those last scenes.”
Explaining that she had ruptured her Achilles tendon, she added, “I had to have this hideous operation. And so I was limping a little. But again, he [Cutler] doesn’t even mention why — that I can live through that and still work seven days a week.”
