Martha Stewart has a huge fan base, with people from all over the world admiring her work and lifestyle. However, a recent social media post has caused some controversy. The 82-year-old businesswoman and TV personality shared a photo on Instagram during her trip to Greenland that many found “tone-deaf”.

Earlier this year, Stewart received widespread praise for posing in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue at the age of 82. But her recent Instagram post failed to generate the same positive response. On August 29, Stewart posted a picture of herself on a cruise along the east coast of Greenland, enjoying a cocktail. Her caption read, “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.”

Though Stewart likely meant no harm with her post, it triggered a backlash from followers who believed her use of a “small iceberg” for her drink was insensitive. People began filling the comments section, criticizing her for referencing icebergs while the planet is facing melting ice caps due to global warming.

Some of the comments were:

• “Martha, the ice caps are melting, don’t put them in your drink.”
• “Drinking iceberg cocktails while the planet is in flames is a bit tone-deaf.”
• “Using melting icebergs to keep cocktails cold – sounds like a line from a dystopian novel.”
• “We have melting ice caps, yet we use glacier ice for cocktails? Talk about being tone-deaf.”

This isn’t the first time Martha Stewart has made headlines. In May, she made history by confidently posing in daring swimsuits for the cover of Sports Illustrated. At the time, she shared her wellness routine, which included a clean diet, regular exercise, and skincare.

Stewart’s cover received an overwhelmingly positive response from women of all ages, as it made them feel empowered and inspired. However, her recent Instagram post has sparked a different reaction altogether. What do you think about Martha’s most recent Instagram post? Let us know in the comments below.
