Martha Stewart Escalates Apology for Homeless Costume After Initial Statement Falls Short
Martha Stewart issued a formal apology on November 1, 2026, after posting a photo of herself dressed as a homeless person for Halloween. The image, which featured her in ripped jeans and a dirty face holding a sign reading 'I AM HUNGRY HELP ME!!', was part of a carousel promoting her candle line. Although she initially claimed the costume was intended to raise awareness, public backlash forced her to delete the post and issue a second statement admitting the gesture was 'insensitive and not funny.'
