Martha Stewart says #MeToo Movement has been ‘really painful for me’

Martha Stewart has mixed feeling feelings about the #MeToo movement.

Although she’s faced her share of misogyny, the doyenne of domesticity said the flourishing social movement against sexual misconduct and abuse has been a complicated issue for her.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Stewart revealed that getting ahead in the business during the time she came up in meant she had to compartmentalize the bad behavior.

“You had to keep your cool and just do your thing, and brush them away,” explained the 79-year-old lifestyle guru, who got her start by modeling in her teens and 20s and working on Wall Street in the ’60s and ’70s.

“It has been really painful for me,” she continued. “I’ve known almost every single one of the famous guys that has been accused and set aside. Some were certainly guilty of a lot of what was accused.”

However, she rationed that some of the bad behavior, was “just their awful personalities.”

“I am not going to mention their names, but I know those people very, very well, and you know the man just talks about sex during dinner,” she says, adding, “That doesn’t mean anything to me.”
