Martha Stewart has more beef.

This time, she's taking aim at director R.J. Cutler, the brainchild behind new Netflix documentary "Martha" about Stewart's life.

"R.J. had total access, and he really used very little," about Cutler's access to her archive. "It was just聽shocking."

Stewart, 83, said that Cutler spent too much time during "Martha" on her infamous five-month prison sentence for insider trading聽and lying to federal investigators about a stock sale.

"It was not that important. The trial and the actual incarceration was less than two years out of an 83-year life. I considered it a vacation, to tell you the truth," Stewart told the newspaper.

Martha Stewart isn't letting society's views of how older women should dress hold back her style - and fashion and gender experts say people of all ages can learn from her attitude.

She added that "the trial itself was extremely boring," claiming that "Even the judge fell asleep" during the proceedings, and "R.J. didn鈥檛 even put that in. The judge was聽asleep at the bench. I wrote it in my diary every day."

Cutler addressed Stewart's grievances in a statement to The New York Times.

"I am really proud of this film, and I admire Martha's courage in entrusting me to make it,鈥 Cutler said. "I'm not surprised that it's hard for her to see aspects of it." He continued, telling the Times that "Martha" is "a movie, not a Wikipedia page" and "it鈥檚 the story of an incredibly interesting human being who is complicated and visionary and brilliant."

91影视 reached out to reps for Stewart and Cutler for comment.

Martha Stewart didn't like that Snoop Dogg's music was originally left out of film

The Martha Stewart Living lifestyle guru also did not appreciate that a documentary about her life failed to include rap music 鈥 or any songs from her BFF Snoop Dogg.

"I said to R.J., 'An essential part of the film is that you play rap music.' Dr. Dre will probably score it, or Snoop or聽Fredwreck. I said, 'I want that music.' And then he gets some lousy classical score in there, which has nothing to do with me," she said.

Her bestie's song was added to end credits of the film after Stewart saw an unfinished cut, according to The New York Times.

Stewart also threw more shade at Cutler about the camera angles in the documentary, telling NYT that Cutler "had three cameras on me. And he chooses to use the ugliest angle. And I told him, 'Don鈥檛 use that angle. That's not the nicest angle. You had three cameras. Use the other angle.' He would not change that."

Martha Stewart says she looked like 'lonely old lady' in final scene of 'Martha' on Netflix

In the film's final scenes that elicited "hate" from the retail royal, Stewart walks through the lush grounds and gardens at what appears to be her Turkey Hill farm in Connecticut.

"Those last scenes with me looking like a lonely old lady walking hunched over in the garden? Boy, I told him to get rid of those. And he refused. I聽hate聽those last scenes. Hate them," she added. Stewart also took issue with producers failing to mention that she was facing an injury during the video vignettes of her strolling through her property.

"I had ruptured my Achilles' tendon. I had to have this hideous operation. And so I was limping a little. But again, he doesn鈥檛 even mention why 鈥 that I can live through that and still work seven days a week," Stewart told the outlet.
