Martha Stewart Issues Apology After Viral Backlash to Homeless Halloween Photo

Martha Stewart has issued a formal apology after facing intense online criticism for posting a photo of herself dressed as a homeless person for Halloween. The image, which showed her in tattered clothing holding a sign reading 'I Am Hungry Help Me!!', was part of an Instagram carousel promoting her QVC candle line.
