“I took her under my wing, I protected her,” Guarino said, adding that Stewart was “grateful” for her help and guidance.
According to Guarino, that gratitude reportedly prompted Stewart to promise him $1 million upon release. Guarino claims Stewart made this pledge when Guarino’s family visited him in prison.

Guarino also alleged that weeks before Stewart’s release he was transferred to another facility to receive drug rehabilitation treatment to reduce his prison sentence, and he found his commissary account empty.
“I could have killed Martha when I found out she didn’t keep her word,” Guarino told the Daily Mail. “She told my family they didn’t have to put money on my books anymore because she was going to take care of me, but she gave me a donut, a big fat zero.”

He said, “Martha blew me away when I saved her life in prison.” “She didn’t have to look at me or say anything to me, so she jumped the fence and ran away.”
“I’m angry, I’m hurt.”
Reflecting on her alleged relationship with Stewart, Guarino said, “When Martha told me in prison that we were friends I believed her, but I think when she came back to her world, she was like her old self.” Went back to her narcissistic ways.”
“He has all the money in the world but a part of me feels sorry for him.”
