Martha Stewart is a well-known personality with a global following, but she recently faced backlash for a social media post that many have deemed “tone-deaf”.
The 83-year-old lifestyle mogul received significant praise earlier this year for her appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. However, her latest Instagram update has not sparked the same enthusiasm among her audience.
On August 29, Stewart shared a photo from a cruise she took along Greenland’s east coast. The image features her enjoying a cocktail with the caption: “End of the first zodiac cruise from @swanhelleniccruises into a very beautiful fjord on the east coast of Greenland. We actually captured a small iceberg for our cocktails tonight”.
While Stewart likely meant her post to be lighthearted, it quickly drew criticism from followers who felt her use of an iceberg for her drink was insensitive. Many comments flooded in, expressing concern over her reference to a “small iceberg” amid the ongoing climate crisis. One user remarked: “Martha, the ice caps are meltin, don’t put them in your drink”.
Another follower stated: “I generally admire Martha and her extravagant lifestyle, but it feels a bit tone-deaf for wealthy individuals to enjoy cocktails with icebergs while the planet is suffering”. A third commenter humorously pointed out the absurdity of the situation: “As the climate warms due to the greed of a few, billionaires vacation at melting icebergs, scooping them up for cocktails. Sounds like something out of a dystopian novel!”
One user echoed similar sentiments, expressing their disillusionment: “Global warming and melting ice caps, yet we need glacier ice for cocktails?! I’ve been a fan for years, but seeing this while struggling to afford groceries is disheartening”.
Earlier this year, Stewart made headlines for confidently posing in swimwear for the cover of Sports Illustrated. She shared details about her preparation for the shoot, stating: “I didn’t starve myself, but I avoided bread and pasta for a few months”. She also emphasized her commitment to fitness, mentioning her regular Pilates routine.
In a keynote speech at a Las Vegas event, she highlighted the positive reception of her cover, noting that it inspired women of all ages to feel empowered: “The feedback was incredibly encouraging, showing that if I can do it, they can too”.

In a captivating YouTube video, a Romanian man recounts his extraordinary experience of visiting both heaven and hell. He describes seeing “a magnificent gate that perfectly reflected his own body” and realizing “the body decays in the ground while the soul receives a new form.” Guided by angels, he felt weightless in heaven and experienced indescribable joy.
He was shown a record of his wrongdoings but was told, “a place in heaven had been prepared for him and his loved ones.” Encountering his deceased parents, he was advised by the angels to let his father rest. His mother witnessed his spiritual rebirth. The man noted that both Jesus and the angels wore “immaculate white clothing, with hair as white as snow,” without wings, their appearance emanating “a radiant brightness.”
In hell, he saw a tunnel of flames and countless souls pleading for help. A colossal figure of God assured him, “all his sins, as vast as the sands of the sea, were forgiven through the blood of His beloved son, Jesus.” Awakening in a morgue, his wife, expecting to prepare for his funеrаI, was astonished to see him alive.
This story serves as a reminder that salvation and redemption are always possible, encouraging everyone to embrace salvation before the grace period ends.
