Martha Stewart, a globally admired figure, faced criticism for a recent Instagram post from her trip to Greenland. Despite previous praise for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover at 82, her latest social media offering stirred controversy. The post featured Stewart enjoying a cocktail with a caption mentioning capturing a small iceberg for drinks during a cruise along Greenland’s east coast. Followers deemed it “tone-deaf,” expressing concern about referencing ice while the planet faces melting ice caps due to global warming.

Critics emphasized the contrast between wealthy individuals using melting icebergs for cocktails and the environmental crisis. Despite Stewart’s earlier positive reception for her swimsuit cover, this incident sparked backlash, with some followers finding it insensitive amid growing climate concerns. Stewart, known for her clean lifestyle, faced a different kind of scrutiny for her choice of imagery in the context of environmental challenges.
