Martha Stewart ‘Stalked Wealthy Man in The Hamptons’

Posted by Adam

Martha StewartMARTHA Stewart is as “naive as a little girl” when it comes to men, it has been claimed.

In her new book The Best of Friends: Martha and Me, Stewart’s former friend Mariana Pasternak tells how the domestic diva was once so desperate for a new husband, she resorted to “stalking” a wealthy man (known as “The Mogul”) in the Hamptons — only to be confronted by his girlfriend.

“There was a wealthy investment banker with whom Martha had a passionate fling, hoping he’d leave his fiancée for her,” Pasternak says in the tell-all tome, which hits bookstores Tuesday. “But when Martha ran into him at a party, fiancée on his arm, he pretended not to know her . . .

“Each time she met a man she liked, Martha heard wedding bells, and each time she suffered indignities and disappointment.

“That he immediately ceased returning her calls was not part of Martha’s script.

“Every rejection hit her hard . . . Each unanswered phone call ratcheted up her obsession. We spent entire East Hampton weekends hunting down The Mogul.

“Who knew what a man like The Mogul might do if he found himself pushed just a tad too far by Martha’s in-your-face desperation? Harassment. Trespassing. Stalking. Martha’s distress at her failed sentimental escapades made my heart ache.”

Pasternak was best friends with Stewart for 20 years until she testified against the TV star in her obstruction of justice trial.
