Martha Stewart is sharing more about her time behind bars, revealing that she was once "dragged" into solitary confinement while serving her prison sentence.
In the upcoming Netflix documentary Martha, the famed mogul opened up more about her time at a West Virginia prison after she was found guilty in 2004 on charges like conspiracy and obstruction of justice relating to the sale of a stock, per People. While spending five months at Alderson Federal Prison Camp, she had a "terrible" time despite the prison's sugary sweet nickname, including the stint she was taken into solitary confinement.
"I was dragged into solitary for touching an officer," she said, adding, "No food or water for a day. This was Camp Cupcake, remember? That was the nickname. Camp Cupcake. It was not a cupcake."
In letters she penned during her time at the prison, Stewart revealed the incident stemmed from an interaction with a "well-dressed" guard and that it was "so minor when it occurred" that she completely forgot about it until she was ultimately punished.
"Today I saw two very well-dressed ladies walking and I breezed by them, remarking on the beautiful warm morning and how nice they looked. When I realized from the big silver key chain that they were guards, I lightly brushed the chain," she said. "Later I was called in to be told never, ever touch a guard without expecting severe reprimand."
A representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons didn't comment on Stewart's allegations, but told People: "Every individual is provided with the basic necessities of life including regular meals three times a day and access to potable water regardless of where they are housed."
Martha hits Netflix on October 30.
