Martha Stewart, who said in her new documentary that columnist Andrea Peyser from The New York Post was dead, responded to the article she wrote to announce that she is alive.
In 2004, the host was jailed for five months after being accused of fraud. She maintained her claim of innocence and said she was incarcerated for a crime she did not commit, but at the time, Peyser covered her trial and wrote an article that Stewart didn’t like at all.
In the documentary, she commented on the journalist, saying: “The girl from The New York Post was there, looking so smug,” the host recalled, referring to the day her verdict was read. “She wrote horrible things throughout the trial. But she’s dead now, thank God. And no one has to put up with the crap she was writing all the time.”
Because of this, Peyser, who has been a columnist for The Post for two decades, published an article in Thursday’s (7th) edition of the paper to announce that she is alive. “The news of my death was a shock. Should I be afraid to keep writing this ‘crap’?”, she said in the publication.
In response, Stewart, who participated in the Pennsylvania Conference for Women, commented on Peyser’s article during her panel. “She wrote this very sharp article today, in The New York Post — my favorite newspaper,” she joked before reading the headline.
“So this will probably make more people watch my documentary,” the host quipped next, referring to her new documentary film, Martha, which is available on Netflix.
