Martha Stewart, the famous lifestyle mogul, recently responded humorously to a fiery column by reporter Andrea Peyser. This column was published in the New York Post after Stewart mistakenly declared Peyser dead in her Netflix documentary.
Martha Stewart Responds Humorously
The incident happened during a scene in Stewart’s documentary, Martha Stewart, where she recalled the media’s reaction to her 2004 insider trading scandal. While discussing this, Stewart mentioned Peyser, saying, “The New York Post lady was there, just looking so smug… But she is dead now, thank goodness.” This remark was an accidental mistake, as Peyser is very much alive.
Peyser, understandably surprised, wrote a response titled, “Hey Martha Stewart, you gloated about the death of a Post columnist — but I’m alive, b**h!”* In her article, she expressed her shock and called out Stewart for the unintentional spread of the news of her death.

On November 7, Stewart attended the Pennsylvania Conference for Women, where she responded to the backlash. With a smile, Stewart said, “Peyser wrote this very scathing article today in the New York Post—my favorite newspaper. So, that will probably cause more people to watch my documentary,” which made the audience laugh.
Stewart did not seem to take the situation seriously and even joked that the controversy could help her documentary gain more viewers.
It remains unclear why Stewart believed that Peyser had passed away, but the incident certainly led to some entertaining exchanges in the media. Despite the mix-up, Stewart has kept her sense of humor intact.
Peyser has yet to explain how she feels about her name mistakenly being linked to her own death. However, it seems like both women are taking the situation in stride, with Stewart using the opportunity to poke fun at the media attention.
Martha is currently available for streaming on Netflix, where viewers can watch the documentary and see Stewart’s own take on her past, including the awkward moment that caused this new media uproar.
In the end, the mix-up between Stewart and Peyser is a reminder that sometimes even the most famous figures make mistakes—but it’s how they handle it that counts. Stewart’s humorous approach shows she knows how to laugh at herself, no matter the situation.
