Martha Stewart is accused of Photoshopping her vacation photos after fans noticed a bizarre detail in one of the photos.
The 83-year-old homemaking expert spent Christmas in Namibia and has shared many updates about her adventures in Africa on Instagram.
On Monday, she posted some photos of herself posing next to some rock formations in western Namibia, but many people noticed something rather unusual about the first photo and wondered if it had been edited.
Martha, wearing loose-fitting khaki pants and a matching long-sleeved top from designer Suzie Kondi, posed with one hand in her pocket and the other against the rock – but her left hand was nowhere to be seen.
“Martha, your hand…” one commented, while another asked, “Martha, where is your hand?”
A third person echoed: “Where’s your left hand?” and a fourth said: ‘I think Martha is missing her hand.’
Someone else said: ‘I love you Martha! And your missing hand,” while another asked: “Where did your hand go?”

Another person accused: ‘NO left hand/arm?’ Photoshopping. Shame,” as another claimed: “Well, another Photoshop demolition, bye.”
Another Instagram user simply wrote: “That left arm is mysterious.”
However, others insisted the star did not alter the photo.
They suggested that it was simply an ‘optical illusion’ and that her hand was out of view because it was behind the rock formation.
“It’s behind the rock,” one person replied, while another agreed: “It looks like the rock she’s leaning on is hidden by the rock visible in the photo. Cool optical illusion.’
Some people were quick to compliment Martha’s appearance, as one person said, “You look fantastic, Martha!”
And another person told her: ‘Wow, you look AMAZING, stones are pretty cool too!’
Martha also posted a photo of the helicopter she used to visit the Skeleton Coast.

The billionaire spent New Year’s Eve with lots of caviar and crème fraîche
She explained to her 2.5 million followers: ‘We traveled along the west coast of Namibia for two hours, flying low over beautiful terrain that was quite populated with elephants, giraffes, seals, flamingos and even lions!
‘And the landscape: sand castles! Rock formations palm trees.’
Martha, pictured on December 13 last year, released her own documentary on Netflix a few months ago
The mother of one, who recently gave people a glimpse into her personal life with her own Netflix documentary, appeared to be back in New York City to ring in the new year.
Posting a close-up of several containers of caviar, she wrote: “Happy New Year to you all and thank you for a great 2024 and hopefully an even better 2025.”
“Especially thanks to @blackdiamondcaviar, @roe caviar, @kenfulkinc (gift of yummy osetra),” she added, referring to a Brooklyn-based company.
Her fans were quick to send their well wishes, as one wrote: ‘Happy New Year Martha. Cheers to the best year yet for you. You are queen.”
Another said: ‘Happy New Year! I’m so glad you’re inspired! I wish you health and happiness in the new year!’
