When we think of powerful and successful women, one of the names that comes to mind is that of Martha Stewart.
Besides being a well-known TV personality, she’s also a self-made billionaire, a writer, a businesswoman, and a former fashion model.
Being 82 doesn’t stop this incredible woman from living her life to the fullest.
Last year, she posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated in daring swimsuits and attracted the attention of many. She was praised for her bravery, her incredible figure, and the positivity she spread.
However, during her recent trip to the east coast of Greenland, she posted some photos and one of them made her fans mad.
It shows Stewart enjoying a cocktail, and the caption says, “End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of greenland. We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.”
Her intention wasn’t probably to anger her fans with the word “small iceberg” for her drink, but it did evoke the ire of her followers.
In no time, comments started pouring in under her post with people hitting out at the fact that she’d referenced a small iceberg when the “ice caps are melting.”
“Martha the ice caps are melting don’t put them in your drink,” one Instagram user wrote.
Another added: “I generally love Martha and the excesses of her life because he’s about beautiful gardens, homes, and food, but wealthy white people drinking their iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone deaf.“
“So as the climate warms due to the profits of a couple thousand people, billionaires vacation to the melting icebergs, scoop them up and use them to keep their cocktails cold. That sounds like a line from a dystopian novel. Can’t make this shit up lol,” a third quipped.
“Global warming and melting ice caps but we need glacier ice for cocktails?! Talk about tone def. Been a fan for years but I’ve seen enough caviar lately as I struggle to buy groceries that I’m out,” said a fourth.
In general, Martha is someone who is widely loved by many.
Speaking of the cover on Sports Illustrated for which she posed, she said on the Today show, “I didn’t starve myself, but I didn’t eat any bread or pasta for a couple of months.
“I went to Pilates every other day, and that was great; I’m still going to Pilates every other day ’cause it’s so great. And I just, I live a clean life anyway – good diet and good exercise and healthy skincare and all of that stuff.”
She also commented how fans responded to the “authentic” cover during her keynote speech at the Las Vegas event.
“The response to it was really encouraging because it made women of all ages feel like, ‘If she can do it, then I can do it too,’” Stewart noted.
I Overheard My Husband Telling Our 4-Year-Old to Keep a Secret—Days Later, I Discovered the Shocking Truth Myself
Paige loves her career, even if it means being away from home often. After a business trip, she overhears a cryptic conversation between her husband, Victor, and their four-year-old son, Mason. This moment marks the beginning of her marriage unraveling.
Paige and Victor endured four miscarriages but emerged stronger, or so she thought. When Mason was born, he became their focus. Despite Paige’s demanding job as a clothing brand executive, Victor managed their home life, even changing his work schedule to be more present for Mason.
After a three-day trip, Paige returned home eager to see her family. However, the house was quiet, and she overheard Victor telling Mason not to tell her about something that would make her sad. Sensing trouble, she tried to dismiss it but struggled to sleep that night.
On her next business trip, she received a series of photos from Victor featuring Mason with a new toy—and a pair of blue shoes in the background that weren’t hers. Alarmed, she scrolled through more pictures, discovering evidence of another woman in their home.
Returning home, Paige found Mason napping. Upon entering her bedroom, she overheard muffled sounds confirming her fears. When she opened the door, Victor was with another woman, who quickly fled to the bathroom. The confrontation was chaotic, filled with accusations and heartbreak.
Victor tried to shift blame, claiming Paige was never around and needed to consider his feelings. Paige, devastated, realized that her vows had meant something to her, while Victor had betrayed them.
After recounting the ordeal to her family, they encouraged her to have Victor move out. Although he denied the affair, he didn’t contest the divorce, desperately trying to maintain some dignity.
Reflecting on the signs she had ignored, Paige was determined to rebuild her life for herself and Mason. She knew she had to be stronger and smarter moving forward.
