The Netflix documentary about her life, titled Martha, also premiered in October, but the star revealed that she “hated” the final scenes and thought the second half was “a little lazy.”
The businesswoman’s life is centered in RJ Cutler’s film, which traces her rise from a teenage model to her reign as America’s original influencer and first self-made female billionaire.

In a new no-holds-barred interview, Martha detailed the numerous elements she was unhappy with, including unflattering camera angles and several anecdotes left on the cutting room floor.

Martha recently criticized the final scenes (pictured) of the Netflix documentary about her life, titled Martha, when she said she looked like “a lonely old woman walking around hunched over.”
Her life is centered in RJ Cutler’s film, which chronicles her rise from a teenage model to her reign as America’s original influencer and first self-made female billionaire.
“But again, he (RJ) doesn’t even mention why: that I can survive that and still work seven days a week,” he joked.
Martha was particularly irritated that RJ used the “uglier” camera angle, even though she insisted that he should change it.
“I had three cameras,” he said. And choose to use the ugliest angle. And I said, ‘Don’t use that angle! That’s not the best angle. You had three cameras. Use the other angle. He wouldn’t change that.’
If that wasn’t enough, Martha also expressed her discomfort with the documentary’s music, confessing that she would have preferred rap music to have been used instead of the classical score that RJ chose.
