Martha Stewart sparked controversy with her Halloween costume this year. The 85-year-old lifestyle icon dressed up as a homeless person, complete with tattered clothes, dirt on her face, and a sign reading 'I AM HUNGRY. HELP ME!!'. Stewart initially defended her costume, stating that it was meant to raise awareness about homelessness. However, she faced widespread backlash for being insensitive and out of touch with the struggles of homeless people. After deleting the photo, Stewart issued two apologies, admitting that her costume was 'insensitive and not funny' and that she 'really screwed up'.
