Shocking Revelations from Martha's Documentary

Martha Stewart is opening up like never before in her upcoming Netflix documentary, aptly titled *Martha*. In a candid moment captured in the trailer, the 83-year-old lifestyle mogul reveals that during her long marriage to Andrew Stewart, she had an affair, a secret her ex-husband "never knew about."

Martha's Bold Advice to Younger Women

In a powerful statement directed toward younger women, Martha declares, "If you're married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he's a piece of s---. Get out of that marriage." This bold advice comes as she reflects on her life choices and the challenges she faced as an ambitious woman in a traditionally male-dominated field.

A Candid Reflection on Her Affair

When prompted by a producer about her past affair, Martha responded with surprising honesty, stating, "Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that." The documentary explores not only her marriage but also her incredible rise to fame, her entrepreneurial prowess, and the legal battles that shocked the nation.

Martha's Journey to Fame

The trailer starts with Martha provocatively asking, "What does it mean to be the first female self-made billionaire in history?" Her journey began in the 1970s when she transitioned from a stockbroker to a successful catering business owner, leading to her first cookbook, *Entertaining*, published in 1982. Following that, her magazine *Martha Stewart Living* hit the stands in 1990, solidifying her status as a household name.

Facing Legal Challenges

But life hasn’t always been smooth sailing. In 2004, Stewart faced a major setback when she was convicted of conspiracy, securities fraud, and obstruction of justice, leading to a five-month sentence in a minimum-security prison. Reflecting on that dark time, she states, "I was a trophy for these idiots... Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high."

Maintaining Relevance in the Public Eye

Despite these conflicts, Martha has effortlessly maintained her relevance in the public eye, especially through her unique friendships—like her cherished bond with rapper Snoop Dogg—and her cleverly curated social media presence where she often shares provocative pictures.

Balancing Marriage and Career?

At one point in the documentary, she ponders, "What is more important? A marriage or a career?" When asked for her take, she admits, "I don’t know." This leads her to proclaim that the ordinary life—the cookie cutter house and cookie cutter life—was never for her. "I could’ve just been a miserable, has-been housewife, but I didn’t let that happen," she says confidently.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Martha's journey has not only inspired countless women but has also laid the foundation for her daughter's career. Alexis Stewart, 59, has followed her mother’s footsteps into the spotlight, serving as a radio and TV host.

Reflections on Personal Relationships

As she reflects on her past relationships, Martha expressed her deep emotions about her divorce from Andrew, saying it was particularly painful for her, as she was the first in her family to experience such a separation. They haven't spoken since.
