Martha Stewart Gets Denied Passport To Enter Britain
Martha Stewart has been denied entry to Britain because of her 2003 U.S. conviction for lying about a stock sale.
“She has engagements with English companies and business leaders and hopes this can be resolved so that she will be able to visit soon,” Charles Koppelman, chairman of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, said in a statement.
A spokesman for Britain’s Home Office, which runs the UK Border Agency, said it does not comment on individual cases.
“We continue to oppose the entry to the UK of individuals where we believe their presence in the United Kingdom is not conducive to the public good or where they have been found guilty of serious criminal offenses abroad,” he said.
