Breaking News: Martha Stewart’s Daughter Alexis Fainted in the Courtroom When She Heard Her Mom’s Guilty Verdict During 2004 Trial…see more
Martha Stewart’s career hit bottom after she was found guilty of obstruction and conspiracy charges related to a stock sale and sent to prison.
“Everything she was going to do was going to be perfectly perfect,” friend Kathy Tatlock says in the film. “And I think in a way, it ruined her life.”
It all started to come crashing down in 2001. Martha recalls taking a call during a fuel stop on a flight to Cabo, Mexico, about a friend’s biotech stock.
She sold the stock and was later convicted for lying to the FBI during an insider-trading investigation in 2004. “Guilty, guilty, guilty on all these counts of whatever,” she says in Martha.
“My daughter, she fainted when they read the verdict. Poor child.” “Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high,” Martha jibes. “I was a trophy for those idiots.”
