The new documentary Martha, about the life of Martha Stewart, premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, and Martha Stewart does not like it. Director R.J. Cutler “had total access” to her archive, “and he really used very little. It was just shocking,” the entrepreneur shared in an interview with The New York Times. She conceded that the first half is decent, and she likes that it can inspire young women, but overall she is not a fan, and she was not shy about listing her many complaints.

Among them is the fact that the doc didn’t really cover her magazine, or her love of travel, or her grandchildren, nor a bunch of other juicy anecdotes she shared. It also didn’t include any of the music she requested. (Stewart wanted rap, but instead there’s “some lousy classical score in there, which has nothing to do with me.”) In her opinion, Cutler used the “ugliest” angle for her interviews, and focused way too on her trial and prison sentence, which was so “boring” that “The judge was asleep at the bench.”

Marth is a cultural icon, definitely one of my favorite white women in entertainment. Chick has a dope ass personality and has a love for black culture. Also roasted tf out of Bieber lol. She was funny on that shyt.

Just finished the doc, sounds like something she would say. She definitely came across like MJ in The Last Dance. Driven and one of the greats, but also clearly flawed and likely a struggle to be around.

I think one of the grating takes was some aspects were framed as if "Oh all the men were doing it too but she got in trouble because she's a woman". There is some truth to that, but she also treated people and acts in a way that we would see as unacceptable in 2024, regardless of race, and so to wave away her actions/repercussions as gender based seems trite. Also, knowing she was a former stock broker makes me a lot less sympathetic about her getting caught up for insider trading. She knew exactly what she was doing and had likely done it before
