'Really screwed up': Martha Stewart apologises for dressing as a homeless person for Halloween after a furious backlash

Martha Stewart has admitted she "really screwed up" after posing in a homeless Halloween costume that sparked fierce online criticism. The multimillionaire lifestyle mogul deleted the post after describing her costume as "insensitive and not funny" in a subsequent apology.

Stewart initially claimed the costume was meant to raise awareness about homelessness, but the explanation deepened the backlash.

Critics pointed to the irony of a multimillionaire mogul mocking rough sleepers for laughs at a party.

Stewart's apology came only after the photos were widely shared and the criticism became impossible to ignore.
