Martha Stewart has responded to criticism over a Halloween costume that drew accusations of insensitivity toward homeless people. The lifestyle mogul made what observers described as a bizarre claim while defending her outfit choice, continuing what media outlets characterized as a blame game rather than offering a direct apology.
The controversy erupted after Stewart shared images of her costume on social media, prompting immediate backlash from users who said the ensemble mocked unhoused individuals. Stewart's subsequent explanation did little to quell the criticism, with commentators noting her remarks appeared to shift responsibility rather than address the core concern.
