Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis fainted during the infamous 2004 trial

Martha StewartThe singer’s career hit rock bottom after she was found guilty of obstruction and conspiracy related to the sale of shares and sent to prison.

New Netflix documentary Martha (out now) examines a 2004 lawsuit that some have called a “bitch hunt.”

“Everything she set out to do was perfect,” friend Kathy Tatlock says in the film. “And I think in some ways it ruined her life.”

Stewart had difficult marriage with her now ex-husband, publisher Andy Stewart. They divorced in 1990 after 29 years of marriage. But “after Andy left, I really threw myself into work,” Martha says in the doc. She founded a lifestyle empire that by 1999 was worth an estimated $1.2 billion. “She looked like a superstar,” says attorney Allen Grubman.

Everything started to fall apart in 2001. Martha recalls receiving a call during a refueling stop on a flight to Cabo, Mexico, about a friend’s biotech stock. She sold the shares and was later convicted of lying to the FBI during an insider trading investigation in 2004.

“Guilty, guilty, guilty on all these counts,” she says in Martha. “My daughter, she fainted when the verdict was read. Poor child.”

“It was so terrible and incomprehensible,” he adds Alexis. “And then I woke up and, unfortunately, I was still there.”

“These prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on at full power,” Marta sneers. “I was a trophy for these idiots.”

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s shares plummeted and Martha resigned from the board of directors. She appeared at the Alderson Federal Penitentiary for a five-month sentence. She estimates she lost more than $1 billion as a result of the scandal.

Martha, of course, staged the final comeback. Eleven years after his prison sentence, Justin Bieber helped start a rethink. She shocked audiences on Bieber’s Comedy Central show in 2015 by taking sharp shots at her co-stars and herself.

“It brought her to a younger audience,” says friend Charlotte Beers.

She sat next to Snoop Doggand the next thing she knew they were doing a lighter commercial for Bic and filming a cooking show.

“She lived up to this point worrying about what people would think of her, and then the worst thing that could happen happened. And she survived it,” says Martha Stewart Living founding editor Isolde Motley. “She was released after going to jail.”
