Martha Stewart, the famous previously imprisoned entrepreneur and homemaker, declares in her new documentary Martha, “The cookie-cutter house and the cookie-cutter life, that was not for me.”
To be fair, Stewart has marketed many a cookie-cutter.
She went on to share, “I have two mottos: ‘Learn something new every day’ and ‘When you’re through changing, you’re through.'”
Many have noted that these mottos seem contradictory.
Stewart continued, “I could’ve just been miserable, has-been housewife, but I didn’t let that happen to myself.”
Internet users have also pointed out the irony in this statement, as Stewart’s prison sentence was undoubtedly not a calculated decision to change her reputation and keep herself in the national conversation.
A renowned author and celebrity homemaker, Stewart was indicted and sentenced to prison in 2004 for conspiracy and obstruction of justice after she lied about a stock trade and stole her stake at the pharmaceutical company ImClone Systems in December 2001. She served five months at the Federal Prison Camp in Anderson, West Virginia until she was released in 2005.
In Martha, the Netflix documentary set to premiere on October 30, 2024, Stewart reveals her understanding of the court’s thought process behind her 2004 sentencing: “I was a trophy for these idiots…I was dragged into solitary, no food or water… Those prosecutors should’ve been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high.”
Stewart was in the news last year when she made headlines as the old woman ever on the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s Swimsuit Issue.
