Martha Stewart is facing backlash after posting, then quickly deleting, a photo of her Halloween costume: a “hungry” person in poverty.
In the now-removed image, Stewart wore tattered clothes with dirt smeared on her face and held a clipboard sign reading “I AM HUNGRY HELP ME!”
The photo had apparently been part of an Instagram carousel promoting candles she sells on QVC, but it came down after several users had already taken screenshots.
Stewart, whose net worth is estimated at $400 million, captioned the post by saying her QVC candles are perfect for Halloween. Her costume, however, did not go over so well.
The image made its way to Reddit, where plenty of users criticized the outfit as “out of touch,” “offensive,” and “gross.”
TMZ has reached out to Stewart’s rep for comment and has not yet heard back.
