Martha Stewart’s prison pal blasts ‘narcissistic’ star for promising $1M payment, failing to cough up the cash

Martha Stewart’s prison “best friend” blasted the star for failing to give her the $1 million payment she promised her while they were behind bars in the early aughts.

Lisa Guarino claimed the TV personality expressed how “grateful” she was to have a friend like her in prison and vowed to give her $1 million when she was released.

“She told my family they no longer needed to put money on my books because she was going to take care of me,” Guarino told the Daily Mail.

When Guarino, who was serving time at the FPC Alderson in West Virginia for selling coke to support herself and her family, transferred to another facility, she found out that her account was empty.

“I could’ve killed Martha when I found out she didn’t keep her word. She told my family they no longer had to put money on my books because she was going to take care of me, but she gave me a donut, a big fat zero,” she shared,

“I then had my phone privileges suspended for three months so I couldn’t ask my family for money. It was hell and I suffered in part due to Martha not keeping her word.”

Since Guarino was freed in 2006, she has faced multiple health battles, including being diagnosed with lymphoma and leukemia.

She currently lives off of her limited social security which is about $600 per month in a one-bedroom, $1,900-a-month apartment outside of Boston.

Guarino, who claimed she took Stewart under her wing in prison, is unable to work because of her medical condition.

Page Six has reached out to Stewart’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.

Stewart served five months in the FPC Alderson from October 8, 2004, to March 4, 2005, after she was found guilty of felony charges for lying about a stock trade.

Meanwhile, the interior designer is currently living her best life, promoting her new Netflix documentary, “Martha,” in which she spoke about her time in prison.

In the doc, Stweart said she was “dragged into solitary for touching an officer.”
