Marta Stewart is highly respected and admired by fans and followers around the globe.
However, she has faced criticism for a recent social media post while visiting Greenland that numerous people are labeling as “tone-deaf”.
The 82-year-old received much praise earlier this year for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in May. However, her latest post on Instagram did not receive the same positive response.
Stewart shared a photo from her cruise along the east coast of Greenland on Tuesday, August 29. The image captured her savoring a cocktail, among other pictures.
“End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of greenland. We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.”
Stewart’s innocent post about using a “small
iceberg” in her drink ended up angering some of her followers.
Soon after, Stewart’s comment section became inundated with individuals criticizing her for mentioning a tiny iceberg while the “ice caps are melting”.
“Martha the ice caps are melting don’t put them in your drink,” one Instagram user wrote.
Another added “I generally love Martha and the excesses of her life because he’s about beautiful gardens, homes, and food, but wealthy white people drinking their iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone deaf.“
“So as the climate warms due to the profits of a couple thousand people, billionaires vacation to the melting icebergs, scoop them up and use them to keep their cocktails cold. That sounds like a line from a dystopian novel. Can’t make this shit up lol,” a third quipped.
“Global warming and melting ice caps but we
need glacier ice for cocktails?! Talk about tone def. Been a fan for years but
I’ve seen enough caviar lately as I struggle to buy groceries that I’m out,”
said a fourth.
In May, Stewart made headlines by posing in bold swimsuits for the Sports Illustrated cover. At 81 years old, she also shared the intense wellness routine she followed.
“I didn’t starve myself, but I didn’t eat any bread or pasta for a couple of months,” Stewart brought up while on the Today show..
“I went to Pilates every other day, and that was great; I’m still going to Pilates every other day ’cause it’s so great. And I just, I live a clean life anyway – good diet and good exercise and healthy skincare and all of that stuff.”
Stewart talked about how fans reacted to the “authentic” cover during her main speech at the Las Vegas event.
“The response to it was really encouraging because it made women of all ages feel like, ‘If she can do it, then I can do it too,’” Stewart noted
