Martha Stewart verunglimpft heimlich ihre eigene neue Netflix-Dokumentation

Secretly, on stage, in front of people.

Excerpt:

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 appreciate Martha for all her knowledge, recipes, how-to info, helpful tips & tricks but she’s human and imperfect just like the rest of us. Let’s be honest: she’d probably be unhappy & critique everything regardless of who made the doc. I bet Spielberg couldn’t even satisfy her 100%. Netflix docs are hit or miss so I’ll give her some credit but unless you’re making it yourself, you can’t control everything.

The Director is solid though:

The September Issue.

Belushi.

A Perfect Candidate.

I saw his new Elton John documentary and while it wasn’t hard hitting, it was honest and focused.

I’m going to definitely give it a watch.
