Martha Stewart Unveils Her Discontent with Netflix’s ‘Martha’ Documentary: ‘Those Final Scenes Are Awful’

 

 

Martha Stewart criticizes Netflix’s ‘Martha’ documentary: ‘I hate those last scenes’


Martha Stewart has some issues to discuss.

 

Her latest target is R.J. Cutler, the director of the new Netflix documentary “Martha,” which explores her life story.

In an interview with The New York Times published on Wednesday, she expressed her disappointment, stating, “R.J. had total access to my archives, yet he utilized very little of it. It was truly shocking.”

At 83 years old, Stewart remarked that the documentary excessively focused on her notorious five-month prison sentence due to insider trading and her misleading statements to federal authorities about a stock sale.

She argued, “That part of my life wasn’t significant. The trial and the time in jail accounted for less than two years of my 83-year existence. Honestly, I viewed it as a vacation,” the icon told the newspaper.

 

She further commented, “The trial was incredibly dull,” adding that “even the judge dozed off” during the hearings, and noted, “R.J. didn’t even include this. The judge fell asleep right there in court. I documented it in my diary daily.”

 

Cutler responded to Stewart’s criticisms in a statement made to The New York Times.

“I take great pride in this film and deeply respect Martha’s bravery in allowing me to create it,” he expressed. He acknowledged that “I can understand how it might be challenging for her to accept certain aspects of it.” He added that “Martha” is “a film, not a factual account” and it represents the story of a very intriguing, multifaceted, and visionary person.

 

YSL News has reached out to representatives for both Stewart and Cutler for further comments.

 

This isn’t the first time Stewart has expressed dissatisfaction with the documentary’s latter portion, although she has previously stated that she enjoyed the first part.

 

“It leans too heavily on my unfair trial,” Stewart remarked to Joanna Coles, the Daily Beast’s chief creative and content officer, in September.

 

Martha Stewart didn’t like that Snoop Dogg’s music was originally left out of film

The lifestyle icon Martha Stewart was also displeased that the documentary about her life did not feature any rap songs—particularly those by her close friend Snoop Dogg.

“I told R.J., ‘It’s essential that rap music be featured in the film.’ I suggested that it could be scored by Dr. Dre, Snoop, or Fredwreck. I asked for that music. Instead, he included some uninspiring classical score that isn’t connected to me at all,” she recounted.

After Stewart viewed an incomplete version of the film, her friend Snoop Dogg’s track “Beautiful” was ultimately added to the film’s credits, as reported by The New York Times.

 

Moreover, Stewart critiqued Cutler for his choices in camera angles during the documentary, explaining to The New York Times how Cutler “had three cameras aimed at me, yet chose the least flattering angle. I told him, ‘Please don’t use that angle; it’s not the most flattering. You had other options. Use a better angle.’ But he refused to accommodate that.”

 

Martha Stewart says she looked like ‘lonely old lady’ in final scene of ‘Martha’ on Netflix

In the documentary’s closing moments, which sparked anger from the retail icon, Stewart

As she strolls through the vibrant grounds and gardens of what seems to be her Turkey Hill estate in Connecticut, she shares her thoughts.

 

“In those final scenes where I’m portrayed as a lonely old lady, bent over in the garden? I insisted that those should be cut. But he wouldn’t listen to me. I detest those concluding scenes. Absolutely hate them,” she expressed. Stewart also criticized the producers for not mentioning that she was dealing with an injury while filming the clips of her walking around her property.

“I had a ruptured Achilles tendon, which required a terrible surgery. So, I was limping a bit. Yet, he didn’t even explain why — that despite all that, I managed to work seven days a week,” Stewart revealed to the publication.
