Martha Stewart says prosecutors who sent her to jail should be 'put in a Cuisinart'
Published on April 20, 2026 EDT

William Shakespeare couldn't come up with a better third act than Martha Stewart.

After going to prison for insider trading, permanently tarnishing her image of domestic divinity, Stewart rebounded and rebranded as America's cool, hot grandma — who will end your life if you even think about calling her "grandma."

The new Netflix documentary Martha, by R.J. Cutler (The September Issue, Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry) reveals the woman behind the billion-dollar brand.

"The cookie cutter house and the cookie cutter life, that was not for me," Stewart says in the doc's trailer. "I could've just been a miserable, has-been housewife, but I didn't let that happen to myself.

Through intimate and revealing interviews with Stewart herself, as well as her inner circle, Cutler traces the good-living guru's rise from teenage model to her reign as the original influencer and America’s first self-made female billionaire.

And judging by the trailer, Martha is doing Martha — exhibiting the steely exterior belied by a Chardonnay-dry wit that's endeared her to millions of fans on social media and to unlikely BFF, Snoop Dogg.

"I was a trophy for these idiots," Stewart says of her 2004 sentencing. "Those prosecutors should've been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high."

Tell us, Martha, what would we pair with this prosecutor purée? A juris-prune juice? And with that, good night.

But first, make sure to check out the trailer for Martha, premiering Oct. 30 on Netflix, below.
