    A New York Post the chronicler claps back at Martha Stewart − and informing the businesswoman that she is still alive.

    In “Martha,” a new Netflix documentary about the lifestyle guru’s life, Stewart got it wrong columnist Andrea Peyserwhich covered the TV personality’s 2004 securities fraud trial that landed her in federal prison. In the tell-all documentary, Stewart said of Peyser, “The New York Post lady was there just looking so pleased. He wrote horrible things throughout the process. But now she’s dead, thank God.”

    In 2004, Peyser’s coverage in the New York Post pulled no punches. She described Stewart’s outfit as “black spiked heels and a shapeless coat – looking like a gardener moonlighting as a dominatrix” and accused Stewart of playing the victim during her trial, “a pose with a careful script”.

    In a statement to USA TODAY on Thursday, Peyser said, “I should be flattered that I’ve lived in her head all these years — and (that) she’s (a) loyal reader of the Post.”

    On Thursday, the columnist also wrote an article, titled: “Hey Martha Stewart, you cheered the death of a Post columnist — but he’s alive, (complaint)!” She began, referring to her first takedowns of Stewart, “Even though the domestic dominatrix she thinks she’s finished me… Two decades later, she’s still fantasizing about (plotting?) my gruesome death.”

    Peyser continued, “I made an uncredited cameo appearance in the new Netflix documentary simply titled with her first name, ‘Martha.’ Like Cher or Osama.” The columnist added that Stewart’s portrayal in her Netflix doc seemed so “petty and abusive” and that “she’s such a bad OCD.”

    USA TODAY has reached out to Stewart’s representatives for comment.

    “Long after she and her insider tipper Peter Bacanovic were convicted of securities fraud and other crimes, then lied to federal investigators, her thoughts were not on her family, on her employees goofy, at the mini animal mill. , or even her own miserable self,” Peyser continued, adding that Stewart “focused her anger on me.”

    Peyser also accused Stewart of never accepting “responsibility for committing crimes that could harm the American financial system,” referring to Stewart’s claim. the infamous five-month federal prison sentence from October 2004 to March 2005 for lying to federal investigators about a stock sale.

    The columnist wrote that she felt “pity” for Stewart, adding, “She’s beautiful and creative and temperamental” and yet “remains dangerously preoccupied with me a little, insignificantly.”
