There’s buzz in the film world that Netflix ain’t so happy with Martha Stewart after the domestic diva dared to slam her upcoming documentary, “Martha.”
Adding to the awkward situation, we hear the streaming service flew Stewart via private jet to the film’s premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival.
A source told Page Six: “As you can imagine, Netflix is pissed.”
Martha Stewart debuted her new documentary at the Telluride Film Festival.
Stewart disagreed with director R. J. Cutler about the doc’s coverage of her infamous trial.
A source told Page Six: “As you can imagine, Netflix is pissed.”
The insider added, “Martha was seen arriving to — and departing — the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado via private jet courtesy of Netflix.”
A rep for Stewart did not comment, and Netflix didn’t get back to us.
The controversy kicked off after the film debuted, and Stewart, 83, called the doc “lazy” and, “not the story that makes me, me,” at a subsequent business event, the 2024 Retail Influencer CEO Forum.
Stewart reportedly said of the film, “It’s more about my stupid trial, which was so unfair.”
She later made the comments to Joanna Coles during a Q&A.
During a Q&A with the Daily Beast’s Joanna Coles at a diner for CEOs on Sept. 10, Stewart reportedly said that the doc’s director, R.J. Cutler, “refused to change anything.”
“I try not to talk publicly about the things I don’t like, [as] it’s not good business,” she allegedly said during the discussion with Coles. But, “I can talk a little bit badly about that,” she quipped of the film.
Stewart then said, according to the Daily Beast, “It’s more about my stupid trial, which was so unfair.”
A rep for Stewart did not comment, and Netflix didn’t get back to us.
The film is out Oct. 30.
The icon was infamously sentenced to a minimum-security federal prison in West Virginia in 2004 after lying to investigators who were looking into stock sales of the company ImClone.
Stewart also alleged of the doc, “I had a collaboration contract,” but said the filmmaker “wouldn’t change anything” when she objected to the movie’s second half covering her legal saga.
She said she also objected to the way the appearance of former Manhattan U.S. Attorney and FBI Director James Comey was handled in the film.
Cutler previously directed a doc on Vogue’s famed Met Gala.
Stewart and Cutler — whose other credits include the Vogue documentary, “The September Issue,” as well as a doc on “Saturday Night Live” legend John Belushi — did a Q&A at Telluride, but Stewart slyly quipped to Coles, “It was good.”
She also suggested that she might get another crack at telling her story, because, “Netflix has already asked me if I’d do another one.”
Cutler was also at the Toronto International Film Festival to unveil another doc, on Elton John.
The movie, “Martha,” made its premiere in Colorado.What do you think? Post a comment.
