Martha Stewart, a celebrated personality, faced backlash for a recent Instagram post during her Greenland trip. The 82-year-old, who had garnered praise for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, received criticism for her latest social media update.
On August 29, Stewart shared a photo from her cruise along Greenland’s east coast, where she was seen sipping a cocktail with the caption, “End of the first zodiac cruise… We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight.” The post didn’t resonate positively with some followers who found it insensitive in the context of climate concerns.
Comments flooded in, with one user expressing concern, “Martha, the ice caps are melting; don’t put them in your drink.” Another remarked that “Wealthy people sipping iceberg cocktails while the planet faces challenges is tone-deaf.”
Despite her history-making swimsuit cover at 81, where she emphasized healthy living, Stewart’s recent post drew criticism for being perceived as out of touch with the pressing issue of climate change. While her previous achievements were lauded for empowering women of all ages, this particular post faced negative reactions from some followers.
