Gwyneth Paltrow Is ‘Loving’ the Continued Backlash Over Martha Stewart’s Halloween Costume: ‘Karma’

Martha Stewart‘s Halloween costume controversy has turned into an early Christmas present for lifestyle rival Gwyneth Paltrow, a source tells Examiner.

The domestic diva, 85, landed in hot water after dressing as an unhoused person and sharing a photo of herself in the getup to Instagram on October 31. In the since-deleted pic, she held a cardboard sign that read, “I am hungry. Help me!”

While Stewart, who’s worth an estimated $400 million, has since issued multiple apologies, the source says Paltrow, 54, is “loving” all of the negative backlash that continues to follow the DIY queen.

“Gwyneth’s not holding back with her friends,” spills the source. “She’s roasting Martha and telling people that this just goes to show how out of touch this woman is.”

Her long-stewing beef with the Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party host dates back to the early days of goop — Paltrow’s lifestyle and wellness brand — when Stewart was a less-than-welcoming industry competitor, explains the source.

“Gwyneth actually admired Martha back then, but she says she got nothing but bitterness and hostility in return,” the source dishes. “This isn’t a case of Gwyneth being overly sensitive, either. Martha really went out of her way to be nasty to her and she’s continued to be nasty even to this day.”

Stewart took one of her harshest digs in 2014, hinting to Net-a-Porter’s Porter magazine that the Marty Supreme actress needed to stay in her own lane and out of the e-commerce and advice business.

“She just needs to be quiet. She’s a movie star,” the Martha Stewart’s Cooking School author told Porter (via Page Six). “If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn’t be trying to be Martha Stewart.”

Twelve years later, Paltrow can’t help thinking Stewart is “getting just a small taste of the karma she deserves,” shares Examiner‘s source.

“Martha’s finally having to eat some crow,” adds the source. “As far as Gwyneth’s concerned, her true colors are being exposed.”
