Martha Stewart is looking to completely change her reputation this holiday season.
After Stewart was portrayed in the Netflix doc as an ice queen boss who scolds her staff for the smallest of things, we hear she's giving her employees turkeys for the holidays and Thanksgiving. Stewart appeared in conversation with Newsday TV's Elisa DiStefano at Long Island Litfest on Wednesday, revealing his vacation plans and the goodies he left for his staff.
“She let them choose between apple pie, pumpkin pie and pecan pie,” a source at the event told Page Six.
“She left a basket of potatoes for all her employees to take home to their families,” they added.
Stewart won't be hosting Turkey Day at her home in Bedford, New York, this year. She plans to fly to Rome instead. The domestic diva also stated that she is not wearing underwear (again). “She's wearing…a swimsuit,” the source said.
Warhol's muse, Robert Dupont, who worked in Stewart's catering business in the '70s, was also in the crowd, hoping to catch up with his old boss. Ms. Dupont said they locked eyes before she left the stage, but security made sure they couldn't see her after the event.
A defiant Dupont told the guard, “I want to meet my old friend Martha, who was my first employer.''
“[Security] “What's your name?” I asked. And two minutes later he said, 'Sorry, she's in the car,' and he bailed,” Dupont said.
Perhaps she will make up for it by sending him a turkey.
