‘I Hate Those Last Scenes’: Martha Stewart Calls Out Netflix’s Documentary For Making Her Look Like ‘Lonely Old Lady’; Report

As a follower who has admired Martha Stewart for years, I must say I was quite taken aback by her recent comments about the Netflix documentary “Martha.” It seems that despite giving the director free rein to delve into her personal archives, she felt let down by the lack of material used from it.


In the latest Netflix documentary directed by R.J. Cutler, you’ll find the elegant Martha Stewart. Interestingly, this renowned figure has expressed some reservations about her representation in the documentary titled “Martha”.

During an interview with The New York Times, Stewart expressed dismay upon viewing the latest documentary. She candidly admitted that despite granting the director full access to her archives, he utilized only a small amount of material, a fact that left her astonished.

The documentary “Martha” on Netflix delves into Martha’s career by showcasing unseen photos, letters, and diary entries from her personal archives. Interestingly, Martha herself admitted that she attempted to omit certain scenes where she appears as an aged woman walking alone in the garden. However, the director chose not to comply with her request.

Stewart opened up about her past, sharing that she had suffered from a ruptured Achilles tendon which required surgery. Although she was walking with some difficulty as described by the well-known TV personality, Cutler failed to address why she walked this way. Instead, he expressed his dislike for those final scenes, stating “I really dislike those last scenes. I truly hate them.

During the interview, she also criticized the poor rating that Culter had employed in the documentary.

I told R.J., “It’s crucial for the movie that you use rap music, considering your past suggestions of artists like Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.” However, it seems that Cutler opted for a classical soundtrack instead, which Martha Stewart finds unrelated to her original suggestion.

In a subsequent conversation with the media outlet, Martha Stewart, the founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, expressed concerns that their coverage leans excessively towards her 2004 trial and criticized the unfavorable camera angles used.

For the less informed, it’s worth noting that she faced felony charges linked to the ImClone stock trading scandal in the past. Personally, Martha Stewart expressed her appreciation for the first part of the documentary, as it reveals aspects about her that many are already familiar with.

Regarding the project, Stewart praised Martha for empowering other women, saying, “Exactly what I envisioned for the documentary.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve found myself humbled by the response I’ve received after the release of my recent documentary. Many women have approached me, expressing feelings of inspiration and identification, positioning me in a unique role as a mentor and guide.

She stated to the outlet that the women had explained how they found their inner power that they didn’t know they had within them.

Cutler has additionally contributed to noteworthy and magnificent productions like “Billie Eilish: A Small Blur in the World” and “Elton John: Not Too Late”.
