Martha Stewart is making the rounds to promote her new Netflix documentary, Martha. She appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen where she responded to a question about joining ABC’s The Golden Bachelorette.
Stewart appeared on the late-night talk series alongside Seth Meyers and Snoop Dogg. She played the bartender for Cohen during the episode.
“Not at all. Absolutely not,” she said when asked by the show’s host if she would star in the franchise. She shook her head “no” again when Cohen asked if she’d do it if she was paid a million dollars per episode.
The 83-year-old replied, “The guys aren’t hot enough.” Snoop agreed, “It ain’t about money it’s about how hot the guys are.” He told his friend, “Not if they don’t look right.”
Martha Stewart revealed marriage infidelities in Netflix’s ‘Martha’ doc
In the Netflix documentary Martha, the lifestyle doyenne opened up about her life and loves, addressed her mistakes, and spoke of her plans moving forward. Some of the most revealing commentary came when she discussed her marriage of over 20 years to Andy Stewart.
“He was not satisfied at home,” Stewart said in the film, per People Magazine of allegations Stewart was unfaithful. “I don’t know how many different girlfriends he had during this time, but I think there were quite a few.”
“Young women, listen to my advice: If you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of s***,” she says. “Get out of that marriage.”
However, Martha also admitted to two dalliances during her marriage. One took place on her honeymoon.
She shared she kissed a “very handsome guy” while visiting Florence, Italy. Stewart also had a “very brief affair” with a “very attractive Irish man” during her work as a Wall Street stockbroker in the late 1960s.
What celebrity was asked to be ‘The Golden Bachelorette’?
While Martha is out as a possible celebrity contestant on The Golden Bachelorette, a different female celebrity was confirmed to have been approached by the series.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Kathie Lee Gifford revealed she was asked to star in the ABC dating franchise series earlier this year. However, she turned producers down.
“Here’s the thing. You know what you get when you get in a hot tub? Diseases, diseases,” Gifford said. “And you know what happens when you start kissing people that you have no idea where their lips have been?”
She added, “It’s just dumb. So, until you have trust with someone, they don’t give you much time before they want you in the hot tub.”
“I’ve talked to the producers about it, and they said, ‘We realized it would be a different kind of show if you do it.’ I said, ‘Uhhh yeah!’ So, I don’t see it happening.”
While Kathie Lee’s Son Cody Gifford is on board with the idea, her daughter Cassidy is not. She told her mother the idea of her dating on television is a “hard no.”
The Golden Bachelorette airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
