‘Dead’ journalist claps back at Martha Stewart’s savage response to her ‘horrible’ headlines
A columnist who Martha Stewart claimed was dead has hit back at the billionaire businessman, telling her: ‘I’m still alive, b**ch!’ in a scathing new article.
Andrea Peyser addressed the 83-year-old household expert directly in a first-person piece published on the website New York Post website on Thursday, claiming, “Two decades later, she still fantasizes about (planning) my gruesome demise.”
Peyser was referring to comments Stewart made in her Netflix documentary, released Oct. 30, which delved into the author’s childhood, her only marriage and even her stint in prison.
At one point in the documentary, Stewart reflected on the media attention she endured during her 2004 trial for securities fraud and obstruction of justice, recalling, “The lady from the New York Post just looked so smug . She had written terrible things throughout the process.
“She’s dead now, thank God, and no one has to put up with that crap she was writing all the time,” Stewart added, but it looks like Peyser isn’t dead after all.

Journalist Andrea Peyser has addressed Martha in a new article, declaring: “I’m still alive, b**ch!”
Referring to Stewart as the “Domestic Dominatrix,” Peyser wrote, “It’s been twenty years since Martha Stewart traded in her Manolo stilettos for ballerinas, her 1,000-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets for a lumpy, polyester-blend bunk bed – the bottom half, she moaned – as she became the most fantastic and furious inmate Club Fed has ever graced.”
The columnist then joked: ‘The news of my death came as a shock. Should I be afraid to continue writing that ‘nonsense’?’ before labeling Stewart a “petty and abusive perfectionist.”
Peyser’s digs didn’t stop there, however, as she claimed that the TV star “has gone from billionaire to mere multi-millionaire.”
The journalist went on to say that she “gets the feeling” that Martha is “lonely,” describing her as a “cold and indifferent mother” to her only child, Alexis.
‘She’s rich. She is beautiful, creative and temperamental. I feel sorry for her,” Peyser concluded her article.
Stewart was found guilty of conspiracy and obstruction and two counts of making false statements in March 2004 after a six-week trial.
She was imprisoned in October that same year, before being released in March 2005 and spent a further five months in house arrest.
After watching the documentary last week, viewers were stunned by Stewart’s scathing attack on Peyser and took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to comment.

“Martha Stewart, I didn’t know your game,” one wrote, while another said, “I don’t care, I love Martha!”
A third said: ‘Martha literally makes me laugh during this Netflix documentary.’
“She’s so real because of this,” a fourth commented, while a fifth added: “This doc is brilliant. If you don’t like Martha, this won’t make you – but Martha is authentic and that’s what I’m here for.”
