00:00And why was I dragged into it?
00:02Oh, no, I was making a joke.
00:04I was giving a talk, and I just made a joke that you would spill chocolate on me,
00:08and so I couldn't wear that costume, which I had planned to wear on Halloween night to this party.
00:12And that became part of the story.
00:14Yeah, and of course they picked up on that, because you're you.
00:18Yes, but I did apologize.
00:20For what?
00:20For spilling the chocolate.
00:21Oh, yeah.
00:22And we moved on.
00:23Yeah, and I moved on now.
00:24But to be clear, there was no connection between that and the costume later.
00:28Oh, no.
00:28I made a mistake.
00:29I mean, I was stupid.
00:32Yeah.
00:32What else can I say?
00:33I'm so sorry, and I hope that my followers and my fans and the rest of America
00:40forgives me for doing something that was not meant in any way to be a bad thing.
00:46I love seeing which famous people get hammered for their costumes the day after.
00:50Martha Stewart, for whatever reason, dressed like a homeless person.
00:55I am hungry.
00:56Help me.
00:57That's how bad Trump's economy is.
00:58Even Martha Stewart is homeless.
01:01Is Martha Stewart canceled?
01:03That was Jimmy Kimmel taking a swipe at the 85-year-old queen of homemaking, and of course,
01:08his favorite punching bag in the White House, too.
01:10Kimmel, no stranger to scandals of his own, was shocked by her epic fail.
01:15How does this woman wind up in that costume being photographed and posted?
01:19This is how you know your assistant hates you.
01:21Yep, someone probably got fired.
01:24That was on Monday, and here's how we here at Page Six broke it all down.
01:28Halloween may be over, but the backlash for some celebrities is still fresh.
01:31That's because of some wild costume choices, starting with Martha Stewart, who dressed up as a homeless person.
01:39That did not go over well, especially the I am hungry, help me sign.
01:43Even worse, the controversial costume appeared to have been included in an Instagram carousel promoting her QVC candle line.
01:50Yikes.
01:52Stewart deleted the post after many slammed it as offensive, gross, and out of touch.
01:56Now, she's walking back the costume, pivoting by telling fans she was trying to, quote,
02:01create awareness about homelessness, telling Page Six in a statement,
02:05I am distressed that my Halloween costume yesterday, which was intended to bring more awareness to the very serious subject
02:11of homelessness,
02:12has offended people, which was never my intention.
02:15Homelessness continues to remain one of America's greatest challenges and ongoing crises,
02:20something that I care deeply about, and I've spent a significant amount of time and effort supporting charities
02:25that combat this ongoing social epidemic.
02:27But then, after that statement was rejected by many online, Stewart went and posted another apology,
02:33writing,
02:34It's hard to admit when you've really screwed up.
02:36My earlier statement didn't go far enough.
02:39I know many people are suffering economically.
02:41Wearing a costume like I did was insensitive and not funny.
02:45I'm very sorry.
02:47Martha, Martha, Martha.
02:48But Martha Stewart wasn't alone.
02:50Jessica Alba also had to delete her bloody-knee Nancy Kerrigan costume.
02:55With her friend Kelly Sawyer as Tonya Harding holding a baseball bat, factually incorrect for what it's worth.
03:01Many of Alba's followers criticized her choice, calling it immature and distasteful.
03:06One even said,
03:08First Martha, now Jessica?
03:09But there's even more.
03:11The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Orange County spinoff star,
03:15McCall Dupron,
03:16and her family dressed up as Kennedys
03:17and Secret Service on the day of JFK's assassination.
03:21She captioned the post,
03:23Happy Halloween, love the Kennedys.
03:25That is also now deleted.
03:27But she's not the first to do it.
03:29Last year, Julia Fox caused a major firestorm
03:32after dressing up as a bloody version of that outfit for her Halloween costume.
03:36But unlike all of this year's deleted costumes,
03:39Julia's version still remains up on her page.
03:41So who do you think had the most tone-deaf celebrity costume of 2026?
