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”.

The famous actor of “Titanic” is now completely unrecognizable
Celebrating a remarkable 25 years since the iconic release of the cinematic masterpiece “Titanic”, it’s awe-inspiring to reflect on the enduring impact of this film and its accompanying Céline Dion anthem, which have become timeless symbols of romance.
Over the years, the lead actors of “Titanic”, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Billy Zane, have undergone notable transformations. DiCaprio’s portrayal of the romantic and penniless artist resonated with audiences, while Billy Zane brought nuance to the character of Rose’s affluent fiancé.
Despite early predictions of a brilliant Hollywood career post-“Titanic”, Zane faced challenges in sustaining the initial peak of popularity. Recent paparazzi captures during his vacation have circulated widely, showcasing a departure from the charismatic and handsome mercenary he portrayed on-screen.
Presently, Zane appears bald and with added weight, a stark contrast to the captivating figure that once enthralled audiences. However, happily committed in marriage for many years, the actor seems unperturbed by the physical changes. He doesn’t appear to harbor regrets for the loss of the physical shape and appeal that made him a sensation during the “Titanic” era.
Zane’s contentment in his personal life takes precedence over external transformations, offering a perspective that transcends the superficial standards of the entertainment industry. Despite the shifts in appearance, the enduring legacy of “Titanic” continues to remind audiences of the timeless nature of romance and love.
