Martha Stewart’s one line comeback about her affairs in new Netflix documentary goes viral as fans hail the ‘savage’ 83-year-old

Martha Stewart’s fans are listening to her relationship advice, 40 years after she rose to fame as the ‘perfect’ housewife.

The 83-year-old is being hailed as an icon by Gen-Z, who have devoured the new Netflix documentary about her career.

While the RJ Cutler film reveals everything from Martha’s troubled childhood to her billionaire status and her infamous incarceration, it’s the lifestyle expert’s jokes about men and her relationships that have gone viral.

In the opening scenes in the documentary, Martha is visibly furious as she recalls her ex-husband Andy Stewart’s affairs and tells viewers, “Young women, listen to my advice, if you’re married and your husband starts cheating on you , then he’s a real jerk. **T. Get out of that marriage.”

The producer then jokes, “Didn’t you have an affair early on?” to which Martha replies, “Yes, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

‘She didn’t flinch. It gave me chills,” greeted one fan, while another called her “a savage.”

“Martha Stewart did some girl math in her documentary!” agreed again, while another admitted that “when I found out Martha Stewart cheated not once, but twice, I was cackling in my living room.”

In the film, Martha revealed that she had strayed during her 29-year marriage, including a passionate relationship during her honeymoon.

Martha remembers kissing a “very handsome man” at the Duomo di Milano in Florence during her European honeymoon, while Andy was back at their hotel.

“He didn’t know I was married,” she remembers on camera. ‘I was one of those little girls who hung around the cathedral on Easter Eve. He was emotional. I was emotional. Just because it was an emotional place. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced.”

She went on to reveal that she once had a ‘very brief affair’ with a ‘very attractive Irish man’ while working as a stockbroker in the late 1960s, but insisted that ‘it was nothing’ and ‘I would never have broken up’. make a marriage for it.’

Martha started dating Andy – who has been her only husband to date – when she was just 19 and he was 23, after they went on a blind date.

The couple married in 1961 and welcomed their daughter Alexis in 1965. However, by 1987 the couple had separated and their divorce was finalized in 1990.

“He was not happy at home,” she says in the documentary. “I don’t know how many different girlfriends he had during that time, but I think there were quite a few.”

She recalls the affair that destroyed their marriage, revealing that Andy “had some sort of involvement with the girl who did the flower arrangements” at their home – Turkey Hill Farm.

Martha says her employee needed a place to stay, so she invited her to move into an apartment on their property, but “while I was traveling, Andy started her up.” It was like putting a snack in front of Andy.”

“Andy betrayed me, right on our turf,” she continues. ‘Not nice.’

While fans have praised Martha, the star herself has criticized her own documentary, revealing she “hated” the final scenes and felt the second half was “a bit lazy.”

‘Those last scenes where I look like a lonely old lady hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told him to put that away. And he refused,” she raged. ‘I hate those last scenes. Hate them.’

Speak with The New York TimesMartha explained that she had torn her Achilles tendon and recently had surgery, hence the limping.

“But then again, him [R.J.] “I don’t even mention why – that I can survive that and still work seven days a week,” she joked.

Martha was especially annoyed because RJ used the “ugliest” camera angle, despite her insisting that he change it.

“He had three cameras pointed at me,” she said. ‘And he chooses to use the ugliest angle. And I said to him, ‘Don’t use that corner! That’s not the prettiest angle. You had three cameras. Use the other corner.’ He wouldn’t change that.’

As if that wasn’t enough, Martha also expressed her dismay over the music in the documentary, confessing that she would have preferred if rap music had been used instead of the classical score that RJ opted for.
