In a recent turn of events, Martha Stewart has raised questions about Meghan Markle's authenticity and expertise in the wellness and lifestyle space. The renowned entrepreneur made these comments in response to Markle's entry into the industry with her brand, As Ever [1][2][3].
Stewart, who has spent decades building her company, expressed her doubts about Markle's knowledge in the industry, stating, "Meghan I don't really know very well." She further emphasized the importance of authenticity and expertise in one's subject matter, claiming that "authenticity... is everything" [1][2].
The OK! Magazine reported Stewart's comments, also discussing Markle's reported reaction to the remarks. According to the report, Markle was "stung" by Stewart's words, but has not publicly responded [1][2][3].
