Look at him as a piece of s–t and get out of it, get out of that marriage,” thecelebrated entrepreneurtold her viewers.

Describing Andrew as a “brilliant publisher, avocational naturalist, and nature photographer,” Shyla called him “one of the gentlest, most soft-spoken, kind-hearted men I’ve ever known.”
“No one was more surprised than we when, after being introduced as colleagues almost 12 years ago, our connection blossomed into a deep and everlasting love,” the message continued.
The lengthy post went on to talk about the children and grandchildren who are part of their “blended family.”
“With our shared devotion to the Earth and to our families at the center, Andy and I have built a life of beauty, meaning, productivity, and purpose, infused with true love, which we share as fully as we can with our beautiful blended family of 5 amazing adult children, our 3 adorable grandchildren, our extended family, and many cherished friends,” the message said.
The post then touched upon the “dark” chapters of Andy’s past, branding his union with Martha as an “abusive marriage.”

Martha revealed that the new documentary features never-before-seen photos and stories about her life and career
“The juxtaposition of Andy’s early life with the joy-filled, purpose-led, loving marriage we live today is striking. Every day, we openly express our gratitude for our love and for our life together,” the post shared.
As she concluded the post, Shyla wrote: “We both wish everyone, including Martha herself, the experience of loving and being loved deeply and fully, and the peace that comes from such a love. Shyla & Andy Stewart.”
The documentary, currently streaming on Netflix, revealed that both Martha and Andy had affairs during their marriage
Kathy Tatlock, a friend of the celebrity chef, claimed in the documentary that Martha “tore her hair out” over her ex-husband’s infidelity.
“Martha was picking up on everything and getting more and more upset,” she recalled. “She would be frantic. Migraines and sleeplessness. At one point she showed me where she tore her hair out of her own head. She was mean to her staff.”
