Martha Stewart slams Netflix documentary about her, calls ending 'lazy' and music 'lousy'
Martha Stewart stuck by the old adage that "honesty is the best policy" when sharing her critiques for a newly-released Netflix documentary about her life.
Martha Stewart, a modern-day queen of etiquette, stuck by the old adage that "honesty is the best policy" when she shared her critiques of a newly released documentary about her life.
In an interview with The New York Times, Stewart praised the first half of Netflix's "Martha" while describing the rest as "a bit lazy." She told the newspaper over the phone that she felt the film lacked color and spent too long on her time in prison.
"The trial and the actual incarceration was less than two years out of an 83-year life," Stewart said. "I considered it a vacation, to tell you the truth.”
Stewart was sentenced to five months in prison and two years of supervised release after she was found guilty of lying about a stock sale in her 2004 insider trading trial. In 2017, Stewart described her time in federal lockup as a "horrifying experience" and said "nothing" about it was good.
Among Stewart's chief complaints is the unflattering way she felt documentarian R.J. Cutler portrayed her. She took issue with his unflattering camera angles, asserting that Cutler chose the "ugliest" ones.
