Martha Stewart’s fans are lapping up her relationship advice 40 years after she shot to fame as the ‘perfect’ homemaker.
The 83-year-old has been hailed as an icon by Gen-Z who have devoured the new Netflix documentary chronicling her career.
Whilst the R.J. Cutler film reveals all from Martha’s troubled childhood, to her billionaire status and her infamous incarceration, it’s the lifestyle expert’s quips about men and her relationships which have gone viral.
Early scenes in the doc show Martha visibly raging as she recalls her ex husband Andy Stewart’s affairs, telling viewers: ‘Young women, listen to my advice, if you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s**t. Get out of that marriage.’
The producer then quips: ‘Didn’t you have an affair early on?’ to which Martha replies, ‘Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.’
‘She didn’t flinch. Gave me chills,’ hailed one fan, whilst another called her ‘a savage.’
‘Martha Stewart did some girl math in her documentary!’ agreed one more as another admitted that ‘finding out Martha Stewart cheated not once but twice got me cackling in my living room.’
In the film Martha revealed that she strayed during her 29-year marriage, including a passionate liason on her honeymoon.
Martha recalls kissing a ‘very handsome guy’ in Florence’s Duomo di Milano on her European honeymoon while Andy was back at their hotel.
