Martha Stewart’s Best Friend In Prison Accuses Her Of ‘Lying’ In New Documentary, Says She Reneged On Promise To Gift Her $1 Million

Martha Stewart‘s prison ‘best friend’ has accused the lifestyle guru of lying about her infamous stint behind bars in her new Netflix documentary, Martha.

The mogul, 83, reflected on her time at FPC Alderson, a minimum-security federal prison for women in West Virginia, in the documentary about her life. Stewart served five months at the facility – known as “Camp Cupcake” – for lying to investigators during an insider trading scandal. In the doc, she claimed that she was detained and denied food and water.

“I was dragged into solitary for touching an officer,” Stewart said. “no food or water water for a day. This was Camp Cupcake, remember? That was the nickname. Camp Cupcake, it was not a cupcake.”

However, fellow former inmate Lisa Guarino, 62, said that Stewart’s story about being subjected to such a punishment is not plausible. The ex-convict, who was locked up alongside Martha, has poked holes at her story.

“If you get any sort of punishment to the level of solitary confinement, you get sent to a federal lockup in Philadelphia,” Guarino said. “I’m not a fan of the federal government or police, but Martha is lying. There was always plenty of food and water. It may not have been the best food, but it was available.”

The Federal Bureau of Prisons corroborated Guarino’s claims and confirmed Stewart’s allegation that the facility’s conditions were inaccurate.

“While some facilities have restrictive housing units, the Federal Prison Camp Alderson does not have one,” an FBOP representative said, “in cases where it becomes necessary to remove an individual from the general population temporarily, FBOP facilities may use secure observation areas under direct supervision. While in these areas, incarcerated individuals are consistently provided with regular meals and access to potable water.”

Guarino, the self-proclaimed “cocaine queen of Boston” whose 4-foot-11-inch frame earned her the street name “Little Italy,” was serving seven years for the possession and intention to distribute more than five pounds of cocaine.

Stewart, meanwhile, had just been convicted of four counts in her roles in a stock market scandal and was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators.

Guarino described Stewart as her “best friend” with whom she developed a close bond and took her under her wing to help adapt to prison life. She recalled one incident when she had to save Stewart from trouble with another inmate. When Guarino watched the documentary, she was disappointed to see Stewart’s apparent misrepresentation behind bars. She scoffed at Stewart’s comments about being “not protected” in prison – claiming Martha was a “brat” and “wouldn’t have made it out of prison without my help.”

Twenty years after the two bonded over difficult times, Guarino claims Stewart has turned her back on the friendship and withheld promises she had made, one of which was the pledge of $1 million upon release.

“Martha blew me off after I saved her life in prison. She jumped the fence so as not to have to look at me or say something to me, and then she ran off,” Guarino said, “I believed Martha when she told me in prison that we were friends, but I guess when she got back into her world, she went back to her old selfish ways. She has all the money in the world, but part of me feels sorry.”

Stewart also made headlines for claiming that the New York Post columnist who wrote about her trial was dead, leading the writer to pen a column titled, “I Still Alive B—-!”
