(NewsNation) — What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
For years, houseware maven Martha Stewart was furious when her husband Andy left her after 29 years of marriage for her former assistant Robyn Fairclough. (Robyn and Andy later married and divorced. Andy is currently married to Shyla Nelson Stewart, president and CEO of Fieldstone Publishing).
But now it’s Andy’s turn to see red. And apparently, he’s mad because … Martha cheated on him.

In the trailer for the Netflix doc “Martha,” Stewart admits to cheating on Andy early in their marriage, saying, “I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”
Stewart also went on to say: “Young women, listen to my advice: If you’re married and your husband starts to cheat on you, he’s a piece of shit. … Get out of that marriage.”
A producer then chimes in, asking: “Didn’t you have an affair early on?”
Stewart’s reply? “Yeah, but I don’t think Andy ever knew about that.”
Neighbors of Andy and his children say the publisher is furious as he is very private and feels he’s dragged into the drama … again.
A rep for Stewart declined comment. Eagle-eyed readers of The Scoop knew about the drama first, as in January, I broke the news of the R.J. Cutler-helmed biopic of Martha Stewart.
