85岁玛莎·斯图尔特万圣节扮无家可归者引众怒：删帖后发声称意在唤起关注，但没有道歉
85岁的美国生活家玛莎·斯图尔特（Martha Stewart）这个万圣节把自己送上了风口浪尖。她在Instagram发了一组推广自家QVC蜡烛的照片，其中一张里，她穿着破洞牛仔裤和做旧衬衫，举着一块写有「我很饿，帮帮我！！」的牌子，扮成一名无家可归者。
照片招来潮水般的批评，评论区迅速被指其品味低劣的留言淹没，该帖很快被删除。
11月1日，斯图尔特通过《Page Six》发表声明回应。她说：「我花了几十年时间教大家如何庆祝万圣节，分享有趣的节日食谱、独特的手工创意和待客的小窍门，让大家充分享受我一年中最喜欢的节日之一。」她接着表示：「我很难过，我昨天的万圣节装扮冒犯了人们，这绝非我的本意。它本想让更多人关注无家可归这个非常严肃的议题。」她还说，无家可归仍是「美国最大的挑战和持续的危机之一」，自己长期投入时间和精力支持应对这一问题的慈善事业，「我致力于继续带来改变」。但在整份声明里，她没有道歉。
网上的反应分成两派：不少人认为拿贫困者的处境当万圣节玩笑不可接受，也有人替她说话，称这不过是个玩笑、网友太敏感。斯图尔特的代表尚未回应媒体进一步的置评请求。
Martha Stewart, 85, Addresses Backlash Over Homeless-Person Halloween Costume but Stops Short of Apologizing
Martha Stewart, the 85-year-old American lifestyle mogul, spent this Halloween at the center of a backlash of her own making. In an Instagram carousel promoting her QVC candles, one photo showed Stewart in ripped jeans and a distressed shirt, holding a sign reading 'I AM HUNGRY. HELP ME!!' and dressed as a homeless person.
The image drew a wave of criticism, with commenters calling it tasteless, and the post was quickly deleted.
On November 1, Stewart responded in a statement to Page Six. 'I've spent decades teaching others how to celebrate Halloween, sharing fun, festive recipes, providing unique craft ideas, and giving tips on entertaining and hosting to make the most of one of my favorite holidays of the year,' she said. 'I am distressed that my Halloween costume yesterday, which was intended to bring more awareness to the very serious subject of homelessness, has offended people, which was never my intention.' She added that homelessness 'continues to remain one of America's greatest challenges and ongoing crises,' that she has spent significant time and effort supporting charities that combat it, and that she is 'committed to continuing to make a difference.' Nowhere in the statement, however, did she apologize.
Reaction online split: many said joking about poverty crossed a line, while others defended her, calling it a joke and the outrage oversensitive. A representative for Stewart did not immediately respond to further requests for comment.
