In a jaw-dropping revelation, the iconic Martha Stewart admits to having an affair during her marriage to ex-husband Andrew Stewart in the much-anticipated Netflix documentary “Martha,” directed by R.J. Cutler. Set to premiere on October 30, the 83-year-old lifestyle mogul opens up about her tumultuous personal life, making waves with her candid honesty.

In the documentary's trailer dropped this week, Stewart advises young women on how to react to infidelity. "If you're married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he's a piece of s--t," she declares, urging them to leave the marriage. When a producer probes her about her own past, she admits, “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

The couple was married for nearly 30 years after tying the knot in 1961 and welcoming their daughter, Alexis Stewart, in 1965. They ultimately divorced in 1990, a decision that Stewart describes as “terrible.” She shares, “We were the first to divorce in my family... it’s painful that we haven’t spoken since.”

Despite her heartache, Stewart emphasizes her resilience and determination to move forward. The docuseries provides an intimate portrait of her life, showcasing her rise from a teenage model to America’s first female self-made billionaire in 1999 and her evolution as a beloved television personality.

In addition to her personal life, viewers will witness Stewart's evolution following her prison sentence for insider trading in 2004, an event that profoundly altered her trajectory. "The cookie-cutter house and the cookie-cutter life, that was not for me," she reflects. Despite the legal and personal battles, she fought to reinvent herself, famously stating outside the courthouse after her sentencing, “I’ll be back. I will be back.”

Her fall from grace came after she sold her stake in ImClone Systems, a biopharmaceutical company, raising suspicions of insider trading. Following a highly publicized trial, Stewart was found guilty of conspiracy and obstruction of justice, resulting in a five-month prison sentence and two years of probation. Yet, she emerged from this period stronger, stating, “I had to climb out of a hole.”

The release of “Martha” promises to be an eye-opening experience for her fans, revealing not only her business acumen but also her journey through adversity and self-discovery. Stewart's frank discussions about her past and her reflections on divorce provide a perspective that many can relate to, making this documentary a must-watch.

With her iconic status and years of experience in the industry, Stewart's story continues to inspire millions. As she prepares to unveil this new chapter of her life, viewers can expect a blend of entertainment, honesty, and resilience that only Martha Stewart can deliver.
