Martha Stewart Unveils Hidden Truths in New Netflix Documentary Trailer, Admitting to Affair During Marriage

In a candid revelation, Stewart reflects on her past marriage and the challenges of balancing personal and professional life, while preparing to share her extraordinary journey as a self-made icon.

Martha Stewart is opening up like never before in her upcoming Netflix documentary, Martha, where she candidly reveals a hidden aspect of her past that even her ex-husband, Andy Stewart, was unaware of. In the trailer for the film, the 83-year-old lifestyle mogul admits to having an affair during their marriage, which lasted from 1961 to 1990.

“Young women, listen to my advice,” Stewart asserts in the trailer. “If you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of (trash). Get out of that marriage.” When prompted by a producer about her own infidelity, Stewart acknowledges, “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”

The revelations come as a shock to many fans, but they have also piqued their curiosity, encouraging them to tune in. Social media users reacted enthusiastically, with one person declaring, “I’m sorry but this took me OUT! I’m tuning IN!!!” Another user stated, “Period Martha! Standing on business,” applauding Stewart’s candidness.

Reflecting on her marriage, Stewart previously described her divorce as “a terrible thing” and expressed the pain of not speaking to Andy since their split. In the trailer, she contemplates the importance of marriage versus career, admitting, “I don’t know.” However, she emphasizes her refusal to conform to societal expectations: “The cookie cutter house and the cookie cutter life was not for me. … I could have just been a miserable, has-been housewife, but I didn’t let that happen to myself. And I’m so happy I didn’t.”

The documentary promises to dive deep into Stewart’s remarkable life, from her beginnings as a teenage model to her time as a Wall Street stockbroker and her rise as a culinary expert and lifestyle guru. “What does it mean to be the first female, self-made billionaire in American history?” she laughs in the trailer, showcasing her trademark resilience and humor.

Stewart’s journey also includes her legal troubles, with clips highlighting her 2003 indictment and subsequent felony conviction in 2004. “I was a trophy for these idiots,” she says defiantly. “I was dragged into solitary. No food or water. Those prosecutors should’ve been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high.”

As the trailer promises an honest look at the complexities of her life, fans can expect to gain insight into her friendships, including her famous bond with Snoop Dogg, and the trials that shaped her into the influential figure she is today. With her trademark wit and wisdom, Stewart’s documentary is set to resonate with audiences eager to learn more about the woman behind the empire.
