00:00What does it mean to be the first female, self-made billionaire in American history?
00:10If there was ever the original influencer, it's Martha.
00:12The hardest thing is to retain cultural relevance as an older woman.
00:17And she's done it.
00:18I was considered crazy, but it worked.
00:21She was preposterously perfect.
00:23Perfect little pattern.
00:24Perfect.
00:26Things look fabulous, but are they?
00:29Young women, listen to my advice.
00:31If you're married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he's a piece of shit.
00:35Get out of that marriage.
00:36Didn't you have an affair early on?
00:38Yeah, but I don't think Andy ever knew about that.
00:41I'm strict and I'm demanding and I'm all those good things that make a successful person.
00:46In the business world, that's a great trait for a man.
00:49But for a woman, you know she was a bitch.
00:52All of that did inspire me tremendously.
00:55I was on the top of the world.
00:57And then the worst thing that could possibly happen happened.
01:00Martha Stewart was indicted on criminal charges.
01:03This is a targeted prosecution.
01:05It's what we're calling a bitch hunt.
01:06I was a trophy for these idiots.
01:09I was dragged into solitary, no food or water.
01:11Those prosecutors should have been put in a Cuisinart and turned on high.
01:16I had to climb out of a hole.
01:19I am free.
01:20No ankle bracelet.
01:24You expected her to do something soft.
01:26But she went the other way.
01:28Smoking on Kush in a hot car.
01:32What is more important, a marriage or a career?
01:35You tell me.
01:37I don't know.
01:40The cookie cutter house and the cookie cutter life was not for me.
01:45I like the way you're spinning that sugar around them balls, Martha. That's nice.
01:50I have two mottos. Learn something new every day.
01:53And when you're through changing, you're through.
01:55I could have just been a miserable husband, housewife.
01:57But I didn't let that happen to myself.
02:00And I'm so happy I didn't.
02:25You
