Martha Stewart is not happy with the new Netflix documentary about her life, Martha, or its filmmaker, R.J. Cutler, who she said “refused to change anything” after she shared her critiques.
Stewart revealed why she felt that the second half of the new project, which will hit Netflix on Oct. 30, was “lazy” and “not the story that makes me, me,” during the 2024 Retail Influencer CEO Forum this past week.
“I try not to talk publicly about the things I don’t like, [as] it’s not good business,” she said during an on-stage conversation with the Daily Beast’s Chief Creative and Content Officer Joanna Coles. However, as she was particularly put off by documentary, she added, “I can talk a little bit badly about that.”
As for what she didn’t like, “It’s more about my stupid trial, which was so unfair,” she said. Stewart also didn’t like the doc’s inclusion of a sit-down with former Manhattan U.S. Attorney and FBI Director James Comey.

I don’t want a doc made about me either, I’m sure they’d focus on all my flaws. For instance, why didn’t Taylor Swift ask me out and who else hasn’t been in my kitchen Alex
