Martha Stewart's 'homeless person' Halloween costume is slammed by transgender Pose star Indya Moore

Martha Stewart's politically incorrect Halloween costume was blasted by transgender actress Indya Moore on Sunday.

The 31-year-old Pose star publicly criticized the 85-year-old mogul in lengthy social media posts one day after the holiday.

Stewart, a multimillionaire, sparked backlash on Saturday when she dressed up as a hungry beggar. She posted an image on Instagram showing her in a flannel shirt with simulated dirt caked on her face as she held a sign reading: 'I AM HUNGRY HELP ME!!'

Following a wave of disapproval from fans, she insisted the costume was meant to 'bring the homeless and the hungry to everyone's mind' in a comment written on a Just Jared Instagram post.

Moore hit back as she responded on the same post, writing in part, 'A rich woman dressing up as a hungry, homeless person brings more awareness to how out of touch and apathetic wealth makes people than it does motivate people to empathize and activate.'

She wrote elsewhere in the fiery note, 'Your excuse is not believable.'

Stewart's Instagram photo was included in a carousel promoting her QVC holiday and Halloween candles that was captioned, 'My QVC candles are perfect for Halloween!!!!!'

Her full acknowledgement of the blunder, typed in the comments section of Just Jared's Instagram post, read: 'My costume was designed to bring the homeless and the hungry to everyone’s mind and boy it certainly did!!!

'But not in the correct way, because I did not explain it and I am so sorry I care and I support causes who care. Do all of you???'

Moore then stated, 'We all make mistakes. I certainly do. I try my best to correct them, not just with explanations but with more active support around the actual issue I may be contributing to.'

She went on, 'But this is a really tough one for me: Halloween has never been a time when people dress up as a demographic in need to raise awareness for them. Halloween is caricature: monsters, villains, idols. People do not dress up as groups who are in crisis.'

The actress stressed, 'This is why your excuse is not believable for so many people. It actually seems like you’re using the anger of people who have actually been hungry as proof your costume worked.'

She pointed out, 'It also seems like you apologizing for not writing a caption and our subsequent failure to understand the outfit – not because you wore it.

'"I care and I support causes who care." Which ones? Because you and your friends alone could probably end hunger across your entire state if you wanted to. A rich woman dressing up as a hungry, homeless person brings more awareness to how out of touch and apathetic wealth makes people than it does motivate people to empathize and activate.'

'If you were serious about poverty, you’d use your platform to back policies that tax the rich, put free food in front of people who are hungry and homeless, and provide free healthcare and education. "I support causes" is not a great response to people asking you to show your work.'

Moore then shared the same statement across several Instagram Stories slides before posting a series of videos discussing the culture of shaming the impoverished. 

'Most of the people following you are not wealthy,' Moore said of the lifestyle guru's 3.1 million followers.

'They are far closer to poverty than you are. So when they question the intentions of a wealthy white woman wearing poverty as a costume, that is a fair question,' she argued.

'Flipping it back on them is passive-aggressive and insulting. An apology that ends in an interrogation of people you offended isn't an apology, it's a manipulative counterattack. 

'You turned a question about your judgement into an inquiry of your followers' loyalty. Given how the wealthy treat the hungry and homeless in this country, abandoning them, shaming them, fear-mongering about them, you should have known this would offend a lot of people,' she concluded before signing off with her first and last name. 

On Sunday evening, Stewart issued a second apology, this time in a post shared on her personal Instagram account.

'It’s hard to admit when you’ve really screwed up. My earlier statement didn’t go far enough. I know many people are suffering economically,' she wrote, sharing a screenshot from the iPhone Notes app. 

'Wearing a costume like I did was insensitive and not funny. I am very sorry. Martha.' 

'Hundreds of people on your professional team, as well as countless friends… no one warned you? And then to post this notes app statement withdrawal. I mean I’ll always love ya girl but whew,' wrote one disappointed fan in the comments.

Someone else weighed in, 'Is this account even real? Like seriously?

'I worked in PR for 25+ years and the way this situation was handled was amateurish at best.

'Take a look around you. Hard-working people can’t afford rent and/or groceries. You have the ability to make a positive difference, but instead you made the poor choice to mock the homeless.'

The upset follower continued: 'My professional advice? Ditch your PR team because they aren’t doing you any favors. Issue a sincere apology. Make a substantial donation to a homeless shelter. In other words, use your celebrity to help people instead of shaming them.'

Others came to Stewart's defense.

'Girl! I dressed like a hobo 1981, I carried a Pepsi bottle in a brown paper bag to look like booze, and I had a bandanna on a stick with some clothes in it. There’s way bigger fish to fry in life. We love you.❤️,' said one supporter.

Another reasoned: 'Leave her alone – she’s literally 85 years old and apologizing. Let people take accountability for their mistakes or else what is being human and what is the point of being a community if we don’t let people learn?! It was an offensive Halloween costume, not murder and she’s taking accountability and apologizing. What more do you all want?! People make mistakes and learn from it.'
