Martha Stewart Jokes About Daisy's RHONY Fame

Martha Stewart, the iconic businesswoman and TV personality, has commented on rumors that her longtime makeup artist Daisy Toye might leave her to join the reality show "The Real Housewives of New York" (RHONY). In a chat with TMZ, Martha, in her typical sarcastic manner, called Daisy a "turncoat," adding that she fully agrees with the reports that her assistant dreams of fame.

Daisy Toye has worked with Martha Stewart for about twenty years, becoming not just a makeup artist but a close confidante. However, according to sources close to the RHONY production, Daisy reportedly made it clear during filming of the new season that she hopes to use the show to gain fame. This, according to rumors, could mean she will no longer work for Martha.

The rumors emerged after it was revealed that Daisy would join the cast of the upcoming season of "The Real Housewives of New York." For many fans of the show, this came as a surprise, as Daisy is not a public figure but a behind-the-scenes professional. However, reality shows often attract people seeking fame, and Daisy seems to be no exception.

Daisy herself denied these claims. In a statement to TMZ, she said there is "no truth or validity" to any of the statements about Martha, and that she has no intention of leaving Martha. Nevertheless, Martha Stewart, when commenting on the situation, humorously reacted to Daisy's words, saying, "Daisy is a turncoat!" and added that she believes the TMZ story.

Journalists also asked Martha whether she would be upset if Daisy left her for Housewives fame. Martha, known for her sharp tongue, did not give a direct answer, but her joking tone suggests she does not take the situation seriously. Perhaps she is confident in Daisy's loyalty, or perhaps she simply does not want to dramatize things.

This story has caused a stir among fans of both Martha Stewart and the reality show. Many are discussing how ethical it is to use one's workplace to advance in show business, and whether Daisy's departure would be a blow to Martha, who is used to her professionalism. However, Martha seems to take a philosophical approach to the matter.

It's worth noting that "The Real Housewives of New York" is one of the highest-rated reality shows in the US, and participating in it can indeed bring fame. For Daisy, this is a chance to step out of Martha Stewart's shadow and shine on her own. But as practice shows, such transitions often end in conflicts, and fans can only guess how this story will unfold.
