MARTHA Stewart fans have revealed being disappointed by the star after she posed with a controversial figure at the Kentucky Derby.
On Monday, the fan-favorite TV personality shared photos from her time at the annual horse race on Instagram.
Martha, 82, was posted at the Kentucky Derby with several jockeys, singer Josh Groban, photographer Douglas Friedman, and much to her fans' surprise, country rock artist Kid Rock, 53.
The author donned a cream-colored outfit with a straw hat while the Redneck Paradise singer sported a pink suit with a black shirt and a matching black hat.
Fans voiced their displeasure with Martha being photographed next to the musician in the post's comment section.
One person wrote, "Kid Rock?!? Martha, no, just no.

"Kid Rock? Nope," added another.
A third fan commented, "Kid Rock? No, Martha, way too good for him!"
"I’m curious why you would choose to hang out with Kid Rock? Snoop Dog, yeah but why [Kid Rock]?" questioned a fourth.
The stay away from Kid Rock sentiment continued, as one fan stated, "Not Kid Rock, Martha. Hard no."

"Not Kid Rock, girl, c’mon," added a second as a third remarked, "I can’t believe she would take a picture with that thing."
STATE OF CONFUSION
On Saturday, Martha appeared a bit confused while declaring "Rider's Up" at the annual Run for the Roses.
"Rider's Up" is the signal for the racing jockeys to mount their steeds and make their final preparations before the race.
"Racing fans from around the world," she started successfully.
But then flubbed the next line as she continued, "The city of Louisville, and the commonwealth of Connectic..."
The 82-year-old suddenly froze, realizing she was in Churchill Downs, Kentucky, not Connecticut.
"I was going to say Connecticut!" she confessed with a grin, before composing herself and continuing. "Welcome you to the 150th-anniversary race. Rider’s up!"
Critics had a field day poking fun at the foul-up on social media, with many wondering if Martha's mistake was caused by some derby delights.
Kid Rock? No, Martha, way too good for him!"

"I think Martha Stewart was hitting the mint julep!" one person joked on X, formerly Twitter.
"She thinks she’s in Connecticut instead of Kentucky," another fan echoed.
"Martha Stewart, you had one job today and it wasn’t in Connecticut," a third joked.
"Martha Stewart was hammered at the Kentucky Derby," another tweeted bluntly.
However, there was no proof nor evidence Martha was even drinking at the event, and she didn't immediately address the snafu.
MARTHA'S MOMENT
Martha is still turning heads at 82.
Last month, she stunned guests while attending the Go Wild Planners Conference in Dallas, Texas.
The event brings together planners and creators for a weekend of meet-and-greets.
Martha posted a backstage selfie while showing off her outfit of the day on Instagram.
The professional cook stunned in a plunging top underneath a beige blazer that she paired with an undershirt and wide-legged pants.
Not Kid Rock, Martha. Hard no."

Martha accessorized her look with a beaded necklace worth $330.
She captioned her post, "In Dallas Texas today at @loewshotels to speak at the @gowildforplanners event.
"Had a great time being interviewed on stage and then Q&A These are our readers and makers!!! And they were having a very good time!!!
"Now going back home to my garden!!! And my doggies And my friends!!!"
MARTHA'S SECRET
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model previously shared her beauty secrets with her fanbase after she shared her trip to the salon on social media.
"What are you doing? How are you looking this amazing?" a follower asked.
"Eating very well. Pilates three times a week." Martha replied.
"Horseback rides at least once a week."
"No smoking. Little drinking Green juice daily," she closed.
In May 2023, the cover model admitted to Variety how she hates Botox, but confessed to getting fillers.
“Every now and then, there are certain fillers that I can do for a little line here or there, but I hate Botox,” Martha shared.
"It’s a weird thing for me. I really and truly don’t do a lot.”
The reporter then pressed her about plastic surgery.
“I’ve had absolutely no plastic surgery whatsoever," Martha told the outlet.
