Martha Stewart sorry for ‘insensitive’ homeless Halloween costume
Martha Stewart released a statement to Page Six after deleting a Halloween photo that showed her in tattered clothing with a sign reading "I AM HUNGRY HELP ME!"
Renowned lifestyle expert Martha Stewart publicly apologized on Sunday for her "insensitive and unfunny" Halloween costume choice, which appeared to depict a homeless individual. The 85-year-old billionaire shared her regret on Instagram following the removal of a photo showing her dressed in torn clothing and a face covered in dirt, alongside a clipboard that read "I Am Hungry Help Me!!".
Stewart's appearance drew swift criticism from social media users who deemed her actions out of touch. In her statement, she acknowledged that her initial explanation, which claimed she intended to raise awareness of homelessness through the costume, was inadequate. Stewart emphasized her sincere remorse, saying, "I know many people are suffering economically.
Wearing a costume like I did was insensitive and not funny. I am very sorry." She explained that her success in the homemaking and lifestyle sectors, including her cookbooks, magazines, television shows, and retail housewares, had never led her to engage in such an insensitive act.
