New York Post reporter Andrea Peyser has responded to Martha Stewart’s false claim that she had passed away. Martha mentioned this in her latest TV documentary. The two women do not get along. This started when Andrea wrote about Martha’s trial for financial fraud in 2004. Martha had to stay in prison for five months because of this.
Andrea was very tough in her reporting of the trial. She talked about Martha’s strict control of her world and didn’t like her attempts to act as a victim. After the documentary aired, people praised Martha on social media for her clever remark about Andrea’s death.
But Andrea, who is 65 and still very much alive, wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. In her article, she commented on Martha’s financial worth and her tough time in prison. She also criticised Martha’s friendship with rapper Snoop Dogg and the difficult relationship with her daughter. Andrea ended her piece saying she felt sorry for Martha, despite her wealth and creativity.
