A new tell-all memoir by Martha Stewart’s daughter paints the domestic maven as less than a lady, said UsMagazine​.com. Alexis Stewart slams her mother in the book for making her wrap her own Christmas presents and forcing her to learn crafts as a girl. “If I didn’t do something perfectly, I had to do it again. I grew up with a glue gun pointed at my head.” Stewart claims her mother’s domestic habits belie her public image as the queen of neat: Martha allows her pets to soil her rugs, and she herself would “pee with the door open” while Alexis entertained guests.
