Martha Stewart<\/a> has opened up about having an affair during her marriage to Andrew Stewart.<\/p>\nIn the trailer for her new Netflix documentary, Martha<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>directed by RJ Cutler, the 83-year-old discusses her rise to becoming the first female self-made billionaire. The trailer also included the entrepreneur providing life advice regarding marriage.<\/p>\n\u201cYoung women, listen to my advice, if you\u2019re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he\u2019s a piece of s***,\u201d she said. \u201cGet out of that marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, a producer then chimed in to contradict her by pointing out that she cheated on her ex-husband. \u201cDidn\u2019t you have an affair early on?\u201d he asked her from behind the camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, but I don\u2019t think Andy ever knew about that,\u201d Stewart quipped back.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>Stewart married Andrew Stewart back in 1961 (Getty Images for Churchill Downs)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nAndrew and Martha were married for 29 years after their 1961 ceremony. They welcomed their only child, Alexis, in 1965 and filed for divorce in 1990.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting divorced was a terrible thing for me because we were the first to divorce in my family,\u201d the author said during the documentary trailer. \u201cAnd that we haven\u2019t spoken since the divorce is even more painful. But I\u2019m very strong, and I\u2019m very motivated to get on with life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stewart also reflected on rebuilding her brand after completing a five-month sentence at a minimum-security prison in Alderson, West Virginia, after being found guilty of obstruction, conspiracy, and lying to federal investigators in 2004.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cookie cutter house and the cookie cutter life, that was not for me,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cI could\u2019ve just been a miserable, has-been housewife, but I didn\u2019t let that happen to myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was a trophy for these idiots,\u201d she added about her sentencing, which included two years of probation. \u201cThose prosecutors should\u2019ve been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high.\u201d<\/p>\n
After Stewart was released from prison, she was sent back to Bedford, New York to spend an additional five months under house arrest<\/a>. In between the two sentences, she published a statement on her website.<\/p>\n\u201cThe experience of the last five months in Alderson, West Virginia, has been life-altering and life-affirming,\u201d she wrote. \u201cSomeday, I hope to have the chance to talk more about all that has happened, the extraordinary people I have met here, and all that I have learned.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, as you can imagine, I am thrilled to be returning to my more familiar life,\u201d Stewart continued. \u201cMy heart is filled with joy at the prospect of the warm embraces of my family, friends, and colleagues. Certainly, there is no place like home.\u201d<\/p>\n
