615. Cathy Smith, featuring Levon Helm and The Band

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

One especially fascinating figure who intersected with Gordon Lightfoot was named Cathy Smith. As a teenager in Ontario, she'd hooked up (literally and figuratively) with Levon Helm, Rick Danko, and Richard Manuel, then future members of The Band. Before her several-year relationship with the married Gordon Lightfoot, she helped The Band get out of a drug bust and gave birth to a daughter who became known as "The Band baby" since no one was quite sure who the father was.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

There are few artists as iconically Canadian as Gordon Lightfoot, whose eight decades on Earth produced some of the most recognizable music there is.

613. Today's Trash: Kristi Noem, Bryon Noem, and Corey Lewandowski

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 17:19:00 -0000

Welcome back to Today's Trash! This story has actually been ongoing for, well, parts of it for years, but acutely over the last month or so. Fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has been having some trouble on the homefront recently, as The Daily Mail keeps finding online personalities in the "Bimbofication" subculture that her husband has been paying for services. But what's a guy supposed to do when his wife has been rumored to be having an affair with the also married Corey Lewandowski for years?

611. Ireland's Most Scandalous Divorce, Talbot v. Talbot

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Perhaps it's reassuring to know that people have always been awful, and when a person is powerful, they've always found ways to avoid accountability. Which brings us back to a contested incident in Ireland's County Roscommon back in 1852 - was Mary Anne Talbot engaged in an adulterous affair as her husband claimed, or was John Talbot spearheading a violent conspiracy to lose an infertile wife and keep his ancestral home?

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Trash Pandas, it's time for another catch up with some of our favorite TD alums. In the Dumpster this week, Alicia celebrates the upcoming SIX The Movie, coming to America and Canada in August; wonders aloud why celebrities can't take an Uber instead of flipping their cars or otherwise dealing with DUI-related fallout, notes a changed landscape in the lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, talks parenting a la Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani, correlates sexism with the #tradwife movement, and has a Lindsey Buckingham story where he's decidedly not the bad guy.

609. Spiderwebs | Terry Melcher, Candice Bergen, and The Manson Family

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Alicia follows up with some spiderwebs from the Doris Day story, and how her son Terry factors into those terrible events on Cielo Drive on August 8, 1969. Terry and his longtime girlfriend Candice Bergen lived there in a fairy tale dream in 1968, before Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski moved into the home. Why did Terry and Candice move? Doris told them they must.

This one is filled with all kinds of connections throughout those days in the Hollywood Hills and beyond, with all sorts of folks chiming in on and rounding out the details of this time from Doris and Terry's point of view.

608. Doris Day featuring Martin Melcher and The Maître D'

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 07:01:00 -0000

In this second part, Alicia tracks Doris Day's disastrous marriage to Martin Melcher, and the enormous financial hole he left her in when he died at the young age of 52. There was still one more husband to go before Doris would decide she'd had enough of matrimony and turned her focus to a more deserving cause: rescuing animals.

607. Doris Day featuring Al Jorden and George Weidler

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Actress and singer Doris Day built a giant career in Hollywood on the image of the All-American Girl, a perfectly relatable Girl Next Door, virtuous and funny. It was pure spin, with Groucho Marx once quipping, “I’ve been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin.” Doris herself chafed at the limitations of the typecasting and how utterly at odds it was to the life she was actually living. In this first part of her story, Alicia takes us through her start in show business, her first two husbands, and a whole lotta playing the field in 1950s Hollywood.

S32E23: Australia's Tyre King Bob Jane

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Australia, it seems to us, is a country of huge personalities, and that's even true when it comes to endeavors as mundane as selling car tires, or tyres. Australia didn't simply need a mass-market tyre retailer, Aussies needed Bob Jane T-Marts with their clean image, catchy jingle, and celebrated race car driver at the helm. The company made Bob himself a multimillionaire, but his inability to forgive and forget tarnished his golden years and wrecked his third marriage to Laree, a woman 38 years his junior.

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Alicia is a collector of vintage magazines, and couldn't resist sharing this 1963 Saturday Evening Post profile of a 21 year old Sandra Dee, on the heels of the first separation from Bobby Darin. She is a movie queen and this piece includes bits about her time on the lot, her split from Darin, her stage mother, and more!

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Actress Sandra Dee and crooner Bobby Darin were the Hollywood it couple of the early 1960s, marrying just months after first meeting. But the marriage was troubled from the start, as both partners were unable to escape the effects of their damaging childhoods.

S32E21: Aimee Semple McPherson | The Disappearing Evangelist

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

In 1920s Los Angeles, one of the biggest names in American evangelism was, surprisingly for the time, a woman. Aimee Semple McPherson founded America's first megachurch, preaching to some 17,000 people at three services, seven days a week. She founded a radio station that shared those services to millions of households around the country. 10% of the population of Los Angeles held a membership at her Angelus Temple. And on May 18, 1926, Aimee Semple McPherson vanished.

S32E20: Sid and Nancy | How Does It End?

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 07:00:00 -0000

Left to their own devices, and with the Sex Pistols basically over, Sid and Nancy found their way to New York City. From room 100 of the Chelsea Hotel, they spent 1978 in a drug-fueled haze, with Nancy booking some gigs for Sid to keep them supplied with money to support their habits. On October 12, 1978, Sid awoke from a Tuinal-induced sleep and found Nancy dead on the bathroom floor, with a stab wound in her abdomen. He was arrested and charged with her murder, but didn't live long enough to stand trial. Sid Vicious died of a heroin overdose on February 2, 1979, though the specifics of his final dose remain a subject of speculation.

Nancy Spungen didn't start life with a lot going for her. She was very smart, but also very emotionally disturbed. At 15, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and would shortly pick up a heroin addiction, an activity that she would share with her future boyfriend, Sid Vicious. As a couple, they were volatile and violent, drawing Sid's attention further and further from The Sex Pistols, which was rapidly disintegrating on the road in America at the start of 1978.

Today we're bringing you one of our occasional Dumpster Dives, where we catch up on the latest news from the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe. In the Dumpster today:

Corey Feldman's long running divorce is over, but he's found something else to be mad about: the time he was almost cast in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Leo DiCaprio earned an Oscar nomination instead.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are reportedly planning to get married, but Hugh's children aren't entirely on board. Also, no prenup? Come on, celebrities. Do you even listen to our show?
80s pop master Boy George has some advice for notoriously press-averse Chappell Roan.
Another 80s pop master, Billy Joel, was honored at Carnegie Hall, accompanied to the show by his friend P!NK.
Is Tom Brady dating Scooter Braun's ex, Yael? Maybe so, but Giselle still wins the divorce, Tom.
Dearly departed Shannen Doherty is somehow still in court with her ex-husband, who wants the terms of their divorce agreement adjusted because, you know, she lost her fight with breast cancer two years ago.
Finally, Cindy Crawford made the mistake of sharing her morning routine with social media. The results were... well, you can guess.

As Britain's youth struggled through the doldrums of the 1970s, their sense of alienation forged a new approach to music, birthing punk. And the band most closely associated with the punk movement at the time was The Sex Pistols. Four young men driven by a sense of aggression and a whole lot of drugs? It was not a recipe for longevity, an outcome that would become especially acute for bassist Sid Vicious.

S32E16: Billy Bush

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0000

Entertainment reporter Billy Bush found himself in a life-changing pickle back in 2016, when a leaked tape was dropped into the final month of a presidential election. It ended his long career with NBC, and for a while, looked like it might have ended his career entirely. In the aftermath, he and his wife divorced, but a funny thing happened on his way to a comeback: he made himself a better person.

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0000

While researching for her Done & Dunne podcast, Alicia came across a story right up our alley: a scandalous affair, secret marriages, secret divorces, bigamy, and all set in America's Wild West. Meet Horace Tabor, once one of America's richest men and briefly a US Senator for Colorado, his long-suffering wife Augusta, and the mistress Horace couldn't wait to wed, again and again, Baby Doe Tabor.

Swimmer Ryan Lochte is one of the most decorated male swimmers ever, but he's managed to mar his own accomplishments over and over again. From 2016's Lochtegate to his current messy divorce from his long-suffering wife Kayla, it seems like he just can't manage to get out of his own way.

Birthday Bust: Andrew (Formerly Known As Prince) Arrested!

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 23:11:00 -0000

It's been a huge day in our Trashy Universe, with what might be the start of real, criminal accountability for a Jeffrey Epstein friend. Finally, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office - what Americans would likely call "public corruption" - a charge that could land him in prison for life. Americans may still be fuming about elite impunity over here, but at least in the UK, someone powerful is entering the find-out phase.

S32E13: The Beckham Family Feud

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0000

A story that's been bubbling for a few years now finally broke open one January day, when Brooklyn Beckham, son of David and Victoria Beckham, took to Instagram to lay out a full-throated indictment of his parents for all the world to see. The story is not at all pretty, and it left us feeling pretty bad for Brooklyn's wife, who seems to have become a target for his family, rather than a part of it.

S32E12: Brittany Snow and Tyler Stanaland

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0000

When Netflix released The Hunting Wives last summer, it's fair to say the show became a sensation. What's not to love? A taut murder mystery plus graphic, often lesbian, sex scenes - no wonder it attracted such a buzz. But while the protagonist goes through plenty in the show, the actress who plays her, Brittany Snow, had recently gone through her own trashy divorce, from pro-surfer and reality TV realtor Tyler Stanaland.

In this special trashy crossover episode, Vulgar History’s Ann Foster joins Alicia to talk about her new book, Rebel of the Regency: The Scandalous Saga of Caroline of Brunswick, Britain’s Queen Without a Crown.

S32E10: Jane Birkin - It's in the Bag!

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0000

This week Alicia gets to the bottom of the basket in this episode about Jane Birkin, English actress, singer, and designer - also, namesake of the very famous Birkin Bag. Jane's story is truly incredible, and is the stickiest spiderweb from our Brigitte Bardot arc that we had to explore. Jane will have a long term love affair with Serge Gainsborough once Brigitte dumps him, but that is only one part of her incredible story.

S32E9: Charles Dickens, Victorian Trashbag

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0000

In this "We're Both Sick" re-air from January 2020, Stacie has the surprisingly trashy tale of Charles Dickens’s public abandonment of his wife of 22 years and the secret, 13-year-long affair that he conducted with a young actress throughout the rest of his life. Turns out that so-called “Great Men” only hold up if their followers are willing to keep their secrets.

The University of Michigan football program has been having a weird few years.

S32E6: Brigitte Bardot, Advocate for Animals & A Curdled Legacy

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

In her later years, French actress and icon Brigitte Bardot devoted her considerable talents to the protection of animals all over the planet. In the 1980s, having retired from film, she created the Brigitte Bardot Foundation dedicated to animal welfare, and used her substantial platform to contact governments and heads of state with letters decrying their nation's treatment of animals. But her attitudes about people became far less generous as she aged. Her fourth and last marriage was to a far-right politician, and she was repeatedly fined by French courts for inciting racial hatred. To be honest, she had a lot of bees in her bonnet by the time she died on December 28, 2025, and she leaves a genuinely complicated legacy behind.

S32E5: Brigitte Bardot, Second Marriage & Motherhood

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

As Brigitte made her way into the 1960s as a bona fide, worldwide celebrity, she found the experience was not especially to her liking. Where she had once strolled the streets of her beloved Saint-Tropez barefoot and happy, by the time she found herself pregnant and married for a second time, an army of photographers assembled outside of her home made her little more than a prisoner in her own life.

S32E4: Brigitte Bardot | The Beginnings

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

In the final days of the no-good, very-bad year of 2025, the world learned that the iconic French actress Brigitte Bardot had died at the age of 91. Having achieved international stardom back in 1957 in the film And God Created Woman - a collab with her first husband, director Roger Vadim - she became a significant cultural export from France in an era where the rules that seemed to govern the conduct of ordinary people were increasingly being questioned and cast aside.

S32E3: Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer had a bit of whirlwind romance with her husband, chef Chris Fischer. They married after just four months of dating, but seven years later - after a child, a round of IVF, various health challenges, an autism diagnosis - they've announced that the marriage has come to its end. But cleanly, and apparently very amicably. Are Amy and Chris role models for a good divorce?

S32E2: The Greatest Sex Scandal You've Never Heard Of | The Beecher-Tilton Scandal

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

We live in an era where scandals often fail to make much of a dent in the reputations of the rich and famous, and today's story illustrates that this sad situation isn't really new. In 1870s Brooklyn, a famous preacher named Henry Ward Beecher had a problem in his private life. He was having affairs. Lots and lots of affairs. But it was his affair with Elizabeth Tilton, the wife of his close friend Ted, that would scandalize the nation - without ever delivering any consequences to Henry himself.

S32E1: Welcome to the Dumpster!

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0000

Happy New Year, Trash Pandas! We're back, and so much happened during our short break that we wanted to get into the highlights - and lowlights! In the dumpster this week:

Mel Gibson is single again, and we wonder if that's related to Mel Gibson being able to own guns again.
Gisele Bundchen won her divorce from Tom Brady so hard that she's now married to the karate guy! Jiu-Jitsu, but you know what we mean. Mazel!
Comedian Amy Schumer announced her divorce from husband of 7 years, chef Chris Fischer, with the year's finest statement.
Harry and Megan are on to their 11th publicist in five years? Seems like there might be a problem there.
The Royals head to Sandringham for Christmas - minus Andrew and Sarah. Who have their own problems, let's be honest.
Writer Jillian Lauren and Weezer bassist Scott Shriner have filed for divorce - but that's hardly the biggest obstacle Jillian experienced in 2025.
And finally, Katy Perry, fresh off her breakup from Orlando Bloom, is dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Katy's ex-husband, facing multiple charges for sexual violence in the UK, told the crowd at Turning Point USA that he's none too happy about it!

In this encore from July of 2020, Alicia has screen legend Charlie Chaplin, who passed away on Christmas Day in 1977. His four marriages typify the line from Dazed and Confused, “I get older, they stay the same age.”

S31E15: Paul Hogan, 'Crocodile' Dundee

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Most of the world met Paul Hogan in 1986, when he starred in the smash hit film Crocodile Dundee. A sensation, the movie remains the highest grossing Australian film ever. For Paul, global stardom was the result of an entirely unexpected series of events that led him to a career as a TV funnyman, but what happened next did a lot of damage to his reputation - and marked the final end to his first marriage.

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

In this encore mash-up, Alicia brings us the 90s-era heartbreaker split with the marriage and divorce of actors Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh. Then, Stacie continues the thread with actress Helena Bonham Carter, whose post-Branagh relationship, with director Tim Burton, began every bit as controversially as the one with Ken had.

S31E12: Messy | Olivia Nuzzi, Ryan Lizza, RFK Jr.

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

For a certain kind of political obsessive, the Trumpworld dispatches penned by Olivia Nuzzi in the first term were almost too on-the-nose. Still in her 20s then, her ability to paint the distorted, distorting figures that inhabited the era in prose was always interesting and often revelatory. And then, she fell in love with a subject, then-presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and her life, her job, and her engagement to fellow journalist Ryan Lizza imploded. A year on, the release of a memoir purportedly about these events has her back in the news, but absolutely nothing is going according to plan.

S31E11: Natalie Massenet and Erik Torstensson

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0000

When two visionaries meet, strange things can happen. So it was for Natalie Massenet, founder of upscale shopping site Net-a-Porter, and Swedish creative director and Frame founder Erik Torstensson. The high fashion power couple parlayed their early successes into venture capital projects - including Skims - and then shocked their world in August 2025 with a bombshell lawsuit from Natalie alleging all kinds of inappropriate conduct by Erik, her partner of many years. It appears that things haven't blown over so much as having been fastidiously swept under a designer rug.

Since crossing into stardom with 1992's Basic Instinct, actress Sharon Stone has certainly had some adventures, both in her career and her personal life. It's actually difficult to summarize today's tale, but suffice it to say, there's a lot in here for fans of some of Hollywood's most notorious lounge lizards, as well as lizards of other sorts.

S31E8: Alicia Corning Clark

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Everyone knows that JFK was a man of vociferous appetites when it came to women, but the secret story of a possible love child fathered with a teenage maid in the Hyannis Port compound is not commonly known. Many questions persist, but the tale of JFK's maybe-baby-mama, Alicia Corning Clark, is such a quintessentially American one - from refugee to the Kennedy's to Hollywood and beyond - that we can forgive that much of the mystery remains unresolved. Included within this story are Alicia's marriages, divorces, scandals and so many spiderwebs too, from high society to the top tiers of government.

S31E7: YouTubers Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0000

The ACE Family channel on YouTube blew up in a big way in 2016, taking two young parents into realms of wealth and fame they couldn't possibly have planned for - and were clearly unequipped to handle. While the channel grew to some 18 million followers, brand partnerships soured into litigation and the marriage of Catherine Paiz and Austin McBroom eventually collapsed. If you've ever wondered, "What would my life be like if I made my own reality show," the ACE family is the cautionary tale you need.

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0000

On the occasion of what would have been her 111th birthday, today we revisit Alicia's 2020 story of the incredible life of Hollywood icon Hedy Lamarr. Yes, she was an outstanding and hugely popular actress, but the lesser known part of the story is that Hedy Lamarr was a passionate and gifted inventor. She and composer and pianist George Antheil developed and patented a way to encrypt messages during WWII using different frequencies - an early step on the path to today's technologies like GPS and wi-fi. She was also married six times - lucky us.

Chris Hansen became a household name by confronting child predators who'd been lured out of hiding by undercover officers posing as children online on Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator. But it was his choices in his personal life that sent him careening off into other directions - dumped by NBC, marriage on the rocks, and even sporting a mugshot or two to his name.

S31E2: John DeLorean and Cristina Ferrare

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 04:00:00 -0000

America's business culture in the mid-century was decidedly drab: men in dark suits with close-cropped hair ruled the day, and in many ways were perfectly primed for disruption. So it was that the youngest division head ever to grace the C-suite at General Motors built a maverick reputation and, upon leaving (or being pushed! Accounts differ) set about to start a car company from scratch. John DeLorean's dream sports car did briefly become a reality, but the ephemera and shady dealings that put a few thousand of them on the road would lead to an epic downfall, and cost him his family as well.

S31E1: Lily Allen and David Harbour

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0000

We don't often go to breaking news, but over the last few days, English singer and actress Lily Allen opted to nuke her ex, Stranger Things actor David Harbour, from orbit by dropping a new album all about their very messy split. To hear Lily tell it, David is a sex addict who crossed all the boundaries they ever collectively drew, and it's pretty clear that Lily is processing a lot of betrayal out loud, in public, and in real time. We don't yet have David's side of the story on this one, so it seems likely that this isn't our last exploration of the trashy divorce of Lily Allen and David Harbour.

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 04:00:00 -0000

It's been a wild few weeks for a number of TD alums. In the Dumpster this week:

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, following the shock divorce filing in Nashville on September 30. Is Keith stepping out with a member of his touring band, and should we be concerned that he's currently on a tour he titled HIGH AND ALIVE after his well-documented troubles with substance misuse?
Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are once again the subject of rumbles in the press wondering if the magic has faded after he blew up his marriage a few years back during the filming of Wicked.
Bill Belichick might just be the most overrated coach in all of football, and UNC might be wondering why they didn't just hire Tom Brady to coach their football team.
Finally, sweet Jessica Simpson is once again going through a divorce, but she seems to really have a great attitude about it. Let's bright-side the s*** out of everything, Trash Pandas.

While their love made them one of Hollywood’s 1970s and 1980s power couples, in the end, differing views on marriage pushed them apart.

By the time Charlotte Rae earned her (second) Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Mrs. Garrett on The Facts of Life in 1982, she was already decades into a career that had yielded two Tony nominations and a 1970s-era Emmy nomination as well. But a lot of things had happened on the way to Edna Garrett, including a long marriage - and a quick divorce.

Lest you think that America’s culture of celebrity for no reason is new, Stacie is here to assure you that isn’t remotely the case. Way, way back, asbestos heir and Manhattan bon vivant Tommy Manville made himself the talk of the times by heading down the aisle over, and over, and over again. With 13 weddings and 11 divorces under his belt, “The Marrying Manville” isn’t just a Trashy Divorces All-Star – he’s basically a legend! This encore episode originally aired in August 2022.

With news breaking just this week that country crooner Keith Urban has filed for divorce from his wife of 19 years, Nicole Kidman, we wanted to resurface this 2019 episode covering the travails of the women who've tried to love one Tom Cruise. On the plus side of the equation, it's unlikely that Nicole will face anything as bizarre or painful with Keith as she went through with Tom back in the day.

S30E20: Mary Kay Ash

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and that's certainly one way to look at the story of Mary Kay, the cosmetics company founded by a woman who'd been divorced and then widowed (and then widowed again) in an era where women weren't exactly welcome in C-suites. But Mary Kay Ash seems to have had some secrets - secret husbands, to be clear - as does the company she founded.

S30E19: Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Today, Alicia has the sad tale of the King and Queen of the Jazz Age, writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald. Though they never divorced, the story is a great illustration of the reality that some marriages don’t work, and a lot of people would be better off ending a marriage rather than staying in it. That's what Alicia wishes that Zelda had decided, dancing away from their doomed marriage a century ago instead of disappearing into it.

S30E18: The Bachelorette's Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

The promise of ABC's The Bachelor is the dream of happily ever after, but as we all know, well-lit reality TV filmed in romantic locations doesn't reflect the reality most of us live in. And so it was for Rachel Lindsay, lawyer and the season 13 lead of The Bachelorette, who chose chiropractor Bryan Abasolo for her final rose, and married him a couple of years later. Unsurprisingly, it didn't last long.

S30E17: The Disappearance of Agatha Christie, ft. Archie Christie

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

This week, Alicia is celebrating the 135th birthday of the mother of the modern mystery genre: Agatha Christie. And while Agatha Christie's novels held the public's attention, her disappearance in December 1926 galvanized the public and brought various personal scandals - namely, her husband Archie's infidelity - to light, in a way that nothing else could have. But to this day, we have no idea what exactly that 11-day period in the long life of Agatha Christie actually was.

S30E16: Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

It's always exciting when celebrity worlds collide. In this case, it's reality TV star Kristin Cavallari and NFL pro Jay Cutler, and when they settled into matrimonial bliss early in the last decade, it sure seemed like things were great. In no time, the couple had three kids and were living it up in a Nashville mansion with camera crews documenting it all. But there was plenty left on the cutting room floor, and wouldn't you know it, divorce court was just around the corner.

S30E15: Prince Albert's Parents | Ernst I and Princess Louise

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

In the 18th century, modern Germany continued to be a patchwork of various duchies, which kept German nobles in the marriage rotation throughout Europe. So it was that two brothers - Ernst and Leopold - came into the world in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld in 1784 and 1790. One would become the King of Belgium, and one would be the legal father of Prince Albert, later the husband of Queen Victoria.

We say "legal father" because apparently it's not 100% clear that Ernst's estranged wife, the long suffering Princess Louise, wasn't comforting her brother-in-law after the death of his wife, England's Princess Charlotte, whose death in childbirth prompted the Hanoverian race to reproduce that gave the world Queen Victoria.

It is, as they say, complicated.

S30E14: The Trashy Breakup of Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Once upon a time, pop megastar Taylor Swift was an assuming teenager transitioning from a country music past into an unknowable future. Along the way, she met a Jonas brother, Joe, and for a few gossipy months in 2008, the pair were an item. And then... well, then a decade and a half of history and diss tracks would begin to slowly unspool.

S30E13: The Unrequited $3 Billion Divorce | Sheika Dena al Fassi and Sheik Mohammed al Fassi

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Back in the early 80s, divorce lawyer to the stars (and Trashy Divorces alum) Marvin Mitchelson took on the biggest case of his career - and one that seems to have gotten away from him a bit. Sheika Dena al Fassi, the wife of Saudi businessman (and Saudi royal family member) Mohammed al Fassi, was filing for divorce, and estimates of Mohammed's fortune ran as high as $3 billion. On the one hand, Dena won the divorce case handily. On the other, Mohammed had long since left the United States with their four children and had no intention of paying the settlement that a California court ordered. Even decades later - even decades after both Mohammad and Marvin Mitchelson had died - Dena was still trying to collect on a divorce settlement that grew into the hundreds of millions of dollars through the magic of compound interest.

S30E12: Halle Bailey and DDG

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

For the more casual observers of popular culture, Halle Bailey may only register as Ariel in the 2023 The Little Mermaid remake, but the more discerning know that this young artist has been doing the hard work, alongside her sister Chloe, since she was barely out of diapers. She excels in music - she and her sister have garnered five Grammy nominations and count Beyonce as their mentor - as well as acting, but one area of her life that maybe isn't up to her high standards is her love life, which lately includes a bitter split from ex-boyfriend and her baby's daddy, rapper and YouTuber DDG.

S30E11: The Trashy Breakup of Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

America swooned for Sex and the City, HBO's glamorous dive into the lives of four women in New York City at the bleeding edge of the 21st century. But early in the series run, there were already rumors of cast disputes, factions, and trouble on set. Had the show been less singular, and less beloved, the actresses likely would have emerged unscathed by the stories, but instead, Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker have spent two decades fielding questions about their alleged feud, and plotting career strategies around the will-it or won't-it return of their most famous work product. It doesn't sound like it's been easy for either of them.

S30E10: Dumpster Dive | Brandon Blackstock, Apollonia, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kyle Massey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lee Radziwill, Offset {hearts} Sabrina Carpenter

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

In the Dumpster this week:

We note the passing of Kelly Clarson's ex Brandon Blackstock at just 48. Please keep his four children in your thoughts.
Actress, singer, Prince confidant, and other multi-hyphenate Apollonia (Patricia Apollonia Kotero), at the young age of 66, finds herself embroiled in a legal battle with Prince's estate over her name. Though Apollonia has been going by the moniker professionally since the 1980s, including while starring in Prince's Purple Rain film, and owns several trademarks for it, Paisley Park Enterprises is coming after her in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to try to cancel her ownership of her name.
And while the Biebers have managed to avoid entry in the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe (by staying married!), we are officially launching "Bieber Watch" after Hailey's strong assertion of the stability of their marriage in May's issue of Vogue. Yeah, we're late to the party - people have been proclaiming the end that marriage since they started dating!
Also, Justin Bieber's Instagram shows him recently hanging out with fellow Disney Channel alum Kyle Massey, which caused a bit of an uproar online. Massey stands accused of sending nude pictures to a 13 year old.
Over in Hollywoodland, Leonardo DiCaprio has sat for a rare interview with Esquire Magazine and director Paul Thomas Anderson. In it, he explains that while he has entered his fifth birthday, his emotional age is more like 35. Seems high!
Princess Lee Radziwill (and Jackie Kennedy's sister) Lee Radziwill's Upper East Side duplex is on the market - for a mere $17M. At 4,600-square-feet and with views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue, photos reveal a gorgeous home that's certainly out of our price range.
Finally, in Cardi B and Offset news, it seems that Offset may be a bit tweaked that Cardi has moved on with a New England Patriots player - and declared his crush on singer Sabrina Carpenter, though he could not name any of her songs.

S30E9: Dumpster Dive | Burt Reynolds, Hall and Oates, Laura Prepon and Ben Foster, The Beckhams, and Halle Berry is Living Her Best Life

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Today's Dumpster Dive is sponsored by Incogni! Today in the Dumpster, we're diving right into:

The midcentury fabulous Highlands, North Carolina, home that Burt Reynolds owned for a decade or so back in the 80s and 90s. It's on the market, so if you need a two-story monolith, a fire-warmed groove pit, or a stone shower, it can be yours for the low, low price of just $3.699M!
If you're looking for some bad news about the 70s - both the decade of the last century and that era of life - the recent saga of Daryl Hall and John Oates might hit the spot. The septuagenarians have settled their lawsuits against each other, but it doesn't sound like either is thrilled.
In the "stuff we completely missed" column, actress Laura Prepon married actor Ben Foster - Mazel! - and the pair have since divorced. Apparently their prenuptial agreement went a long way toward speeding that process, but both took the opportunity to fire a few reputational shots at the other.
It seems that the Beckham family - England's David and Victoria and their now-adult children - is bending like... well, like any dysfunctional celebrity family might. Son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola renewed their vows sans any Beckham family representatives, while the famously social media clan has kept mum about the Instagram blasts celebrating the event.
We covered the brief marriage of Oscar winner Halle Berry and Atlanta Brave David Justice years ago, but apparently David is still having - and expressing on podcasts - thoughts about that era of his life. Halle seems suitably unimpressed.

S30E8: Linda Lavin (TV's Alice)

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

The character of Alice Hyatt - a widowed mother who takes a job at a roadside diner on her way to a singing career - made a lot of sense to actress Linda Lavin. After all, her mother had been an opera singer whose aspirations were derailed by marriage and children, and by the time Alice premiered in 1976, Linda was living and thriving in a very different world than her mother had been able to enjoy. But things weren't all sunshine and kittens for the Tony and Golden Globe winner; her 1980s were punctuated by a very trashy divorce indeed.

S30E7: Gary Coleman

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Child actor Gary Coleman made a big cultural mark on the 1980s in his role as Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes - "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" was his notable catchphrase on the show. But the young man who emerged from the series in 1986 had a hard road ahead of him. Because of health issues stemming from his earliest days, he retained his childlike stature and appearance, and the $18 million he had earned as the highest paid child actor of the decade had been pilfered by none other than his parents. His life never got less complicated.

S30E6: Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

With the passing of Loni Anderson this week, we pulled one of the trashiest divorces out of the vault for an encore this week. Oh, the 1980s were a weird time, and Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds might have seemed like they could have gone the distance. However, it was not to be. It is a much bleaker portrait of a six-year long marriage, and a divorce without an end. It is also a story of surviving and thriving after an abusive relationship, and we applaud Loni for that from TDHQ!

S30E5: Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

When longtime tennis partners - kidding, they were married - Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen announced that they were putting their racquets down back in April 2024, they noted that they had jointly filed for divorce in 2023. Which raises a question about why they chose to announce their split at that particular moment. Turns out, it might have to do with the release of a memoir from a former co-star - Rebel Wilson.

S30E4: Julius Caesar and His Wives | Cossutia, Cornelia, Pompeia, and Calpurnia

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 04:00:00 -0000

In this Trashy Royals crossover, Alicia reveals all the dirt about the OG of dictators, Julius Ceasar and his four-ish wives. Each of his wives served a needed purpose for Ceasar in their own time, and these stories get trashy! From young love to power alliances, this is a whole Roman Times soap opera featuring our wives, Cossutia, Cornelia, Pompeia, and Calpurnia. But that is not all – thrown in a little Cleopatra too, and this one becomes a legendary tale.

S30E3: Slash

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Before he was conquering the music world with Guns N' Roses back in the late '80s and early '90s, guitarist Slash was Saul Hudson. London born and Los Angeles raised, his entertainment-industry parents did not provide the stability that a teen in the '70s and '80s would have benefited from. Consequently, young Slash found himself misusing a number of things, including an early marriage or two, and it took him more than a little while to find himself.

S30E2: Hulk Hogan (A Trashy Divorces Encore)

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

It was a tough week for celebrity deaths - Ozzy Osbourne, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and, of course, Hulk Hogan, who shook off his moral coil at the age of 71 on Thursday. We covered the Hulkster back in 2019, and in the handful of years since, he didn't stay out of the limelight. Most recently, he ripped his shirt off at the Republican National Convention as he endorsed another very public sex pest.

S30E1: Sally Field

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Sally Field has been delivering standout performances on television and film since Gidget back in the 1960s, and has become one of the most beloved actresses alive. But none of this was foreordained, and she didn't stumble onto our television screens unencumbered. A difficult childhood and traumatic teen experiences didn't hold her back - but may shed some light on her glorious singleness after two divorces. Still, after watching Sally Field for a lifetime, all we can really say is that that we like her - we really, really like her.

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

In our finale of the Wallis, Duchess of Windsor series, we spend time with the Duke and the Duchess in their time as the toast of international society. David and Wallis appear in all the best places and at all the best tables, but ultimately that is not a fulfilling life for either of them.

S2914: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Doing Time in the Bahamas and Post War Days

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

The Duke and Duchess should be in their long-awaited wedded bliss period, but King George VI is going to take his brother David up on that past offer to be of assistance, and off the newlyweds go to the Bahamas. The Duke will have a pretty easy job which he won’t do, but Wallis will dazzle. In this episode, David deals with some family hardships as well as the continuing hardships he places upon himself, both during and after WWII.

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Married life begins for Wallis and David, and although it is a time of decorating homes and settling into domestic bliss for the couple, there are troubled times brewing. David and Wallis take a trip to Germany they will come to regret in short order. Not only is the world about to enter a war, but David is stubbornly holding onto his own pride and pettiness, so naturally more Windsor family drama included.

S29E12: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Becoming the Duke and Duchess of Windsor

Thu, 10 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

In December of 1936, David is off the throne and has a little time on his hands. The former king cannot reunite with his love Wallis at the moment, as her final divorce decree from Ernest Simpson is still pending within the court system. David will not spend much time thinking beyond his abdication as it is happening, and because of his lack of foresight, there are a few uncomfortable months in the early part of 1937 for the couple. There is, as you would expect, a whole lot of family drama throughout this time period, but this episode does end with a wedding between this star-crossed couple - faith healer priest and gorgeous flowers included!

S29E11: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The Instrument of Abdication

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

We have journeyed into this trashy series to fall of 1936, and the abdication of Edward VIII is coming fast and hard. The world now knows about Wallis, and everyone has an opinion about the love affair the world can’t stop discussing. From the people to the palace to the Parliament, we have a whole lot of influences in today’s tale. Wallis is not rooting for David leaving his kingdom, but he is a man-child not to be deterred. The King is going to get his girl, even if he loses his crown.

S29E10: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The Countdown to Abdication

Mon, 07 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

No one inside or outside the palace seems all too pleased in this continuing episode of our Wallis series. We are definitely on the countdown to the December 1936 abdication of Edward VIII, and the events of the summer and fall really turn up the temperature on the whole sordid mess.

David isn’t too keen on being the king. Neither are his advisors. A lot of folks would like to see David just walk away from the job. The one lone voice urging him to keep the gig was his lover, Wallis. She wants no part of any of this nonsense, but it seems any chance she had to leave her fate is long gone.

S29E9: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | The King is Dead, Long Live the King

Thu, 03 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

King George V has passed, and it is David’s time to assume the throne. The new King of England is pretty okay with it, for now – but only if his rules are followed. The people of England are pretty fired up about the monarch who they feel will be a youthful, modern twist to the staid and formal reign of the past. There are a lot of other folks, mostly the ones close to David, who do not share this same enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Wallis is still playing her hand, balancing between an ever more needy lover and a husband who will soon not be too bummed at all that she has been fooling around. What is Ernest playing at?

S29E8: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | That Woman

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 04:00:00 -0000

This week, we bring Wallis and the Prince of Wales together, and it is some scandalous stuff. Walls sells out her friend Thelma. David is resolved to get Wallis into his inner court world, no matter what he must do, even with enemies on all sides. The prince has now become a determined guy, and Wallis is playing a very dangerous game with some very high stakes. Aunt Bessie does try to warn Wallis, bless her heart, not that it does much good.

S29E7: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Thelma Furness

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

This week, we progress in our journey to the last lover of the Prince of Wales, before Wallis, that is. Thelma Furness enters the picture. Thelma comes with her own legend, being one of the Magical Morgan Twins, along with her sister Gloria. Thelma thinks she can trust her good friend Wallis to keep an eye on “her little man” when she is needed to support her sister, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, back in the United States, where Gloria is stuck right in the middle of the “trial of the century,” concerning the custody status of little Gloria Vanderbilt.

How history does turn on such things…it does not work out great for Thelma, at least when it comes to David.

S29E6: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Freda Dudley Ward

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

We continue our journey into the love life of the Prince of Wales this week introducing the lovely, and married, Freda Dudley Ward. This phenomenal woman was romantically involved with David for 15 years, and he sure liked it that way, until he didn’t. This one is quite a journey of a wonderful woman who played her role perfectly, in good times and in bad times too.

S29E5: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Edward’s Early Loves

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

In this week’s exciting episode of our Wallis, Duchess of Windsor series, we change the focus to the Prince of Wales. With a complicated childhood without a whole lot of family love, you can see how it would be easy for David to be swayed by romance. He does this romance dance quite a lot – sometimes with suitable girls, sometimes not. In this episode, we will explore a few of David’s first loves, including Marion Coke, Lady Sybil Cadogan, Marguerite Alibert, and Rosemary Leveson-Gower. No gal is going to ever be good enough for David at this time, at least according to his royal family. Also, there is a little blackmail and murder thrown into the mix too.

Upon her return to the United States, Wallis will finally obtain her divorce from Win Spencer, and soon enough meet her next husband, Ernest Simpson.

S29E3: Wallis, Duchess of Windsor | Her Lotus Year and The China Dossier

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Hold onto your conspiracy theories in this one, darlings!

Wallis took a lot of heat for the year she spent in the Orient, her Lotus Year. Many folks pinned a whole lot of terrible deeds on Wallis this year, largely all untrue. Her year in China becomes the basis for the future China Dossier, which was supposed to dissuade the Prince of Wales from his married lover. That plan did not work out too well, and this year, Wallis truly steps into being the woman she is to become. Also, she will break with Win Spencer, for good.

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Welcome to a whole spider of a series - Wallis, Duchess of Windsor!

We know her story, or we think we do. In this first episode, we meet Bessie Wallis Warfield, just a tiny girl making her way in the world surrounded by a whole lot of family drama, on both sides.

This week, we get into Alicia's favorite quickie divorce - the eight day, 1970 union of California Dreamin' singer Michelle Phillips and bad boy - very bad boy at that moment in his life - actor Dennis Hopper. This one has a lot of spiderwebs and extremely trashy behavior.

S28E18: Brooke Hayward and Dennis Hopper (A Trashy Divorces Encore Plus)

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Alicia has perhaps the spiderwebby-est story she’s ever told, with the 1960s marriage and divorce of actors Brooke Hayward and Dennis Hopper. They were together through the decade and became a central part of the scene - art, politics, music - but the highly combustible nature of their marriage meant it could not last.

It’s been a while since we followed the dysfunction of a band’s trashy breakup, but Alicia has a good one this week! For three brief, shining years, The Mamas & The Papas were chart topping leaders of the late ’60s hippie sound. Born in professional jealousy, romantic rivalry, and personality conflict, the band’s run ended almost as suddenly as it began.

S28E14: Bill Belichick, ft. Jordon Hudson

Wed, 28 May 2025 04:00:00 -0000

For months now, the biggest story in American sports has had nothing to do with a game or a team. Instead, the public has been gripped by a feverish need to know more about the unusual relationship between former New England Patriots Coach/current UNC Football Coach Bill Belichick, age 73, and his latest girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, age 24. What exactly is going on here? We're not sure, but we try to get into it pretty thoroughly, because we're pretty sure this isn't the last we'll have to say on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson.

Sun, 18 May 2025 04:00:00 -0000

On May 19, 1536, Anne Boleyn was executed on the Tower Green at the Tower of London, following months of scheming by Henry VIII's chief minister, Thomas Cromwell.

S28E10: The Love Letters to Anne Boleyn from Henry VIII

Wed, 14 May 2025 04:00:00 -0000

It is an exciting week for Alicia, and she wants to share her love, passion, and fervor of the Tudor Era with you - especially her love of Anne Boleyn! Next week marks the 489th anniversary of Anne’s death, and it is her time to shine within our trashy universe this week.

In this episode, we explore the 17 surviving love letters that King Henry VIII penned during his courtship and early relationship with Anne Boleyn in the latter half of the 1520s, particularly noting that for quite a long time, it seems like Anne wasn't really that into him.

Continuing our exploration of the mid-century's most famous sisters sextet, we turn our attention to Unity, Jessica, and Deborah Mitford. If you thought the politics of the first three were fascinating, just wait: Unity adopted Nazism and befriended Adolph Hitler, Jessica was an avid communist, and Deborah married a Cavendish and became the celebrated renovator and promoter of Chatsworth House, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire.

Wed, 07 May 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Starting back in the Jazz Age of the 1920s, the six daughters of an aristocratic family became something of a sensation in Britain. The Mitford Sisters - Nancy, Pamela, Diana, Unity, Jessica, and Deborah - traversed many orbits, from being members of the Bright Young Things to becoming avatars of the extreme politics churning through the UK as the horrors of World War II set in.

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Academy Award Nominee Jennifer Tilly is having a bit of a moment. After bursting onto the scene in the 1990s - after years of the usual Hollywood slog - she made serious cultural marks in films like Bound and as a scream queen in the Chucky movies and television show. She was also half of one of the least trashy divorces we've ever heard of, which is also how she became independently wealthy enough to - now - appear as a friend on the latest seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

S28E4: Bijou Phillips and Danny Masterson

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0000

One of the grosser stories we've lived through over the last several years is that of That 70's Show actor Danny Masterson, who has now been convicted of raping two women in 2003. Especially problematically, he and his victims are members of the Church of Scientology, and prosecutors made a strong case that the church itself worked hard to keep the survivors of his assault quiet for nearly two decades. Since 2004, he's been the boyfriend of and then husband of actress, model, and singer Bijou Phillips, daughter of John Phillips, who responded to his conviction 2023 conviction by filing for divorce. Yes, it's now 2025, and no, not one part of this story is yet wrapped up.

S28E3: Gypsy Rose Blanchard

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0000

While Gypsy Rose Blanchard escaped her mother's incredibly abusive control by murdering her, the case was understandably a sensation. Gypsy Rose's childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood had been cruelly misshapen and stolen from her by her mother's abuse, and during her eight years in prison, media attention on what had happened to her only intensified. So too did contacts from young men who wrote to her in prison, leading to a broken engagement, a marriage and divorce, and a return to that first guy that things didn't work out with the first time.

His ego was enormous, his personal life a dumpster fire, and even his teammates didn't particularly care for him. Hard to believe a guy like that could go bad!

Since Cardi B roared onto the rap scene in 2018 with Invasion of Privacy, she's won all the awards and become one of the most celebrated artists of our day. But the notion of "invasion of privacy" is a little funny in our current era, where stars often seem committed to invading their own privacy by oversharing on social media. Which is our entrée into the tumultuous marriage and (ongoing) divorce between Cardi B and her husband, fellow rapper and Migos alum Offset.

S27E6: The Glamorous Gabors | Zsa Zsa Gabor, Part One

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0000

This week, we turn our attention to the middle - and certainly the best known - sister of our glamorous trio, Zsa Zsa Garbor. In this Part One of her life, we follow the irrepressible Zsa Zsa her through her first marriage - and perhaps an affair with the founder of the Turkish Republic, Kemal Ataturk - as well as her move to the US, where she promptly destroyed her sister Eva's first marriage, for reasons that were never clear to Eva herself. Zsa Zsa likely thought "such is life when you're a Gabor," and after all, Conrad Hilton was waiting to scoop her out of obscurity.

S27E5: The Glamorous Gabors | Magda Gabor

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0000

Dahlinks - hold on to your hats for the story of Magda Gabor, the eldest and perhaps the most undercover of the Glamorous Gabor sisters. Magda, continuing the family tradition of being well-versed in the art of falling in love and getting married, also had some nasty breakups. But there's so much more to her story, from her World War II experiences working with the Hungarian Resistance against the Nazi occupiers, to being a significant part of the brains behind her mother's New York jewelry business. She may be lesser known than her sisters, but her story is every bit as fascinating.

The youngest of the Gabor sisters was Eva, and to say that Eva worked for the career that Zsa Zsa sauntered into would be about right. An earnest actor, Eva toiled in relative obscurity for a quarter of a century before landing the role that finally made her a household name: Lisa Douglas, a big-city wife whose husband decides to leave it all behind for the bliss of their very own Green Acres. Through it all, in typical Gabor fashion, Eva married and divorced and married again (and divorced again, and again) and branched out into entrepreneurial endeavors, including Eva Gabor Wigs.

S27E2: The Glamorous Gabors | Mama Jolie Gabor

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 04:05:00 -0000

Jolie Gabor, mother of the famous sisters, grew up in Budapest, Hungary, just in time for the tumultuous 20th century to unfold. Her mother's family was in the jewelry business - put a pin in that - and as a girl, Jolie dreamed of a life in the theater. Her parents were having none of it, and forced her into a not overwhelmingly wanted marriage that almost immediately produced three daughters. But rather than give up on her acting dreams, she just transferred her drive for celebrity and notoriety onto those daughters. The rest, as they say, is history.

Introducing The Glamorous Gabors!

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0000

The Gabor sisters were some of the most iconic cultural figures in the second half of the 20th century, having arrived on our shores from Nazi-occupied Hungary, where they experienced loss and engaged in heroic resistance. Along with their mother, Jolie, sisters Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda, stormed the mid-century zeitgeist and lived through extremely complicated family dynamics, as well as complicated romantic entanglements - including, between them all - 23 marriages, 18 divorces, two widowhoods, and two annulments. They were allies and rivals, poly-linguists, artisans, and entrepreneurs. But mostly, they were women possessed of a drive to succeed and an eternal willingness to bend their stories to suit the moment at hand.

This month, Trashy Divorces is proud to present the lives and loves of The Glamorous Gabors, an eight-episode arc bringing these four amazing women into focus in the 21st century.

The Glamorous Gabors was researched and written by Melanie Shawn, with our deep gratitude.

S26E23: Michael C. Hall

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Best known for playing TV's most complicated serial killer, Dexter, actor Michael C. Hall has had his share of romantic ups and downs - not to mention a private cancer battle in the midst of his brief second marriage, to Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter. His personal background certainly sheds light on some of the professional choices he's made, and which audiences have loved.

We are taking our mid-season break, but will be the second week of March to kick off Season 27!

S26E22: Vanessa Williams (A Trashy Divorces Encore Plus!)

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

It’s funny to think that back in the 1980s, a leak of nude pictures could cause a headline-grabbing scandal, but that’s exactly what happened to the first Black woman to ever wear the Miss America crown. Vanessa Williams, then 21, was roundly demonized in the press, and was subjected to intense public outrage for her supposed transgression. She was even forced to resign her crown, an overreaction that the pageant would apologize for decades later. Alicia has the whole sorry saga, and the powerful comeback story of one of the great talents in American entertainment – plus a couple of divorces!

S26E21: Trashy Tabloids | Heiress Murders Nazi Sex Fiend!

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

In 1936, America was shocked by the details that emerged in a murder trial in New York City. A young heiress, romanced by an older German financier with deep ties to the Nazi party, decided to end things when it became clear that he wouldn't end his marriage to his wife in Germany. Dr. Fritz Gebhardt took Vera Stretz's rejection badly, a gun was drawn, and when police arrived around 2:30 that morning, Fritz was dead and Vera refused to explain why she'd shot him.

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Back in 2021, Stacie was captivated by the tale of betrayal told by Barbara Berry, the first wife of superlawyer Johnnie Cochran. For years, he juggled two families and an eye-popping number of other mistresses, while also subjecting Barbara to physical and emotional abuse more directly.

We Think You'll Like: Dead and Kind of Famous

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Check out of the noise of the world with a podcast covering people who've already checked out - but had their own brushes with fame before they went. Dead and Kind of Famous is a delightful new podcast from Courtney Blomquist (not famous) and Marissa Rivera (kind of famous) that examines the lives of the people who reside at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. But these aren't the interred A-listers like Judy Garland and Burt Reynolds. These are the other people, the ones who pressed up against fame but never quite got their feet on it, and whose stories are certainly as interesting as their better known brethren.

Fourth quarter time, Trash Pandas, and while we have no idea what the score is on the other game, over here, it's three up, one to go. Back in 2022, Alicia covered the absolute pressure cooker of the first marriage of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, and today he'll close out our special Game Day Trashy Divorces Encore Plus.

And we're back from the half-time break with our third quarter musical champion, Paul McCartney! Sir Paul's second marriage - and first divorce - to Heather Mills was public, trashy, and extremely expensive, just the way we like them.

In the second quarter of our Game Day Trashy Divorces Encore Plus series, Alicia heads back to her April 2020 story that puts some realism into the man, the myth, the legend: John Lennon. Turns out that the voice of a generation was pretty awful in his first marital go-round.

As you may know, there's a big football game coinciding with our regular Sunday releases, so we thought we'd indulge some trashy champions of our own: The Fab Four. In this Beatles-themed Game Day spectacular, we begin with Alicia's Season One story of the terribly trashy love triangle between Beatle George Harrison, his wife, model Pattie Boyd, and guitar legend Eric Clapton.

S26E15: Dumpster Dive | "Cyber-farting," Melissa Gilbert and Megyn Kelly, Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen, Ye and Bianca Censori, and Saint Jennifer Garner

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

We know you love a good Dumpster Dive (our analytics make that very clear!), so we're back with another rundown of all the celebrity news that fits. In the dumpster this week:

A case from the UK where a 25-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to "cyber-farting" messages to her boyfriend's ex as a form of harassment.
Melissa Gilbert took some strays from washed up emotional vampire Megyn Kelly over a Little House on the Prairie reboot and let's just say that America's Sweetheart was having none of it.
Actress Isla Fisher ended 2024 with a note of gratitude as she navigates her post-divorce life from comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
Biana Censori, partner or wife of antisemitic rapper Ye, let it all hang out at the Grammys the other night, before police escorted both of them away from the event.
Is Jennifer Garner's boyfriend trying to bail? Page Six has an odd piece about a supposed "insider" complaining on businessman boyfriend John Miller's behalf about how much time Jen is spending with her ex-husband Ben Affleck. Something to watch?

S26E14: Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown (A Trashy Divorces Encore Plus!)

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0000

In this Encore Plus episode, Alicia’s got the intense story of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, which we first aired back in September of 2019. Whitney, of course, was an incredible talent whose path was in many ways set by the agendas of those around her. Her 14-year-long marriage to Bobby Brown was ultimately catastrophic, and her untimely death was tragic beyond words.

S26E13: Dumpster Dive | Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, Billy and Chynna Phillips, Jessica Simpson, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, and Men Need Friends

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0000

In a world gone mad, celebrities continue to make terrible decisions! This week we're (mostly) leaning into the trashy rather than the divorces for a Dumpster Dive!

Up first, Alicia has a Baldwin Corner, where we discuss Alec and Hilaria's new reality show, and the strong doses of something that appear to be driving Billy Baldwin and Chynna Phillips back into each other's arms.
Jessica Simpson is single again.
Stacie gets into the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni lawsuit war and is eager for some under-oath testimony, because both of these things cannot be true.
And Alicia has an article that upends a lot of the usual takes about how men and women experience relationships and breakups.

S26E12: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (A Trashy Divorces Encore Plus!)

Sun, 26 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0000

We’ve covered the Kennedy family in some detail during the show’s run, but like any sprawling dynasty, there’s always more to explore! This week, Alicia brings us the backstory of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let’s just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family’s effectively unlimited money and prestige.

After peering into RFK Jr's broken youth, Alicia brings us right up to the present day (at least, to the start of 2023) in the life of the notable womanizer and vaccine skeptic. With three marriages under his belt, he’s experienced disappointment and tragedy in love – but it’s never stopped him from continuing to try!

S26E11: Annie Potts

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0000

You know actress Annie Potts from basically everything - as the sardonic but unflappable receptionist in Ghostbusters, a newly divorced working mom in Designing Women, the voice of Bo Peep in the Toy Story series, and of course, as MeeMaw to Young Sheldon. But while she's built a career with marvelous staying power, for a long time, it seemed that she'd never have that experience in the love department. Until her fourth husband (yes, really) showed up 35 years ago or so.

S26E10: The Breakup of Simon and Garfunkel

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Together, they made some of the 20th century's most memorable music, but their personal rivalry, animosity, and pettiness was every bit as memorable. If you're like us, you love the music of Simon and Garfunkel. And if you're like us, you'll get some hearty laughs when you hear how stupid and truly petty it all became between these two. This episode first aired on Patreon on December 12, 2022.

S26E9: Rebecca Romijn and John Stamos

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Back in the 1990s, two of Hollywood's most beautiful people met, fell in love, and - to great fanfare - got married. And a decade later, divorced. This was John Stamos, then nearing the end of his career-defining role as Uncle Jessie on Full House, and Rebecca Romijn, an in-demand model who was even then successfully transitioning to acting. Was it the divergence of their career arcs that doomed the relationship, or was John Stamos just primed for a fairy tale with a woman who was living in the real world?

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Oh, to be young again! Today, Stacie travels back to a simpler time, a time when Alec Baldwin had not shot anyone to death and his second wife - at least to Stacie's knowledge - was just a normal American girl who found love with a famous actor 26 years her senior. Like you do. In today's two-part Encore Plus story, we have the truly Trashy Divorce of Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger, featuring the Voicemail Heard 'Round The World. Then, we pluck a follow-up from our Patreon vault from a few years later, when the scandal of Hilaria Baldwin, nee Hilary Thomas, lit the internet on fire. This one's fun, friends. Happy New Year!

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0000

S26E4: Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs

Wed, 25 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Welcome to Classy Divorces! Today we're getting into the decidedly not-trashy (for the most part) split between The Queen of Broadway, Idina Menzel, and fellow actor Taye Diggs. The pair dated for seven years after meeting as co-stars on the original cast of Rent, then were married for a decade before shocking the world by announcing their separation - and the reasons behind it are complex.

S26E3: Sweet Home Alabama | America’s Surprise Divorce Capital (A Trashy Divorces Encore Plus!)

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0000

As much as we love a Vegas wedding and a Reno divorce - or a Tijuana divorce - the truth is that for a sparkling 25 or so years in the mid-20th century, Alabama abolished any residency requirements in divorce matters, and cheap, quickie divorces became a mainstay for Alabama lawyers. And as you would expect, this wild west environment drew a lot of high profile names - including some TD Alums - to the state, if only briefly.

S26E2: Hilary Duff

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Hilary Duff rose to fame as that rarest of Hollywood rarities: a well-adjusted child actor who easily made the leap into adulthood. As Disney's Lizzie McGuire, she became a teen idol almost overnight, and has managed to stay active in the entertainment industry not only as an actor, but also a singer and author. Being precocious has its advantages, but there are also drawbacks, like that time she married a hockey player....

In this episode, we check in with Maria Callas, who never seems to learn, and Christina Onassis, who has now inherited a lot of money, and all that cash suits her for now. Jackie, on the other hand is spending money which brings Ari to financial fits, trying many ways to get out of their inconvenient marriage as early as 1971. It is a whole ride around Haiti, with Alexander coming into make some revenge too. So much yikes, darlings - we hope you enjoy!

S25E10: Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, Part 10 | A Father's Revenge and a Husband's Fury

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 05:00:00 -0000

What a week! In this latest installment of Onassis and his lovely ladies, we return the focus back to Christina, and her doomed marriage to Joseph Bolker, mostly because Aristotle wants it that way. But that is not Ari's only problem. His ex-wife Tina is scheming too and will enter her next marriage shortly, leading everyone to anger. But Ari has even bigger problems. He cannot seem to leave Maria Callas alone, and Jackie is not down for that plan.

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Holy cats! In Part Eight of the series, we arrive at Aristotle's second marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. It is not exactly a blessed occasion, and no one is happy about it, except Ari's sister Artemis, who makes a big comeback in this episode. Everyone else in Ari's life, including his mistress Maria Callas, and his children all have a whole lot of feelings about grand affair. Jackie’s sister and mother also have very strong feelings, which they do not hold back. The whole Kennedy clan is none too pleased either, even though Teddy will step up to negotiate the marriage contract. Calamity abounds in this one – take cover and enjoy the show!

S25E6 Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, Part Six | More Maria, Lee Radziwill and Jacqueline Kennedy

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0000

This week, in the sixth in our series of Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, the ladies are plentiful.

Also included, so many spiderwebs – Prince Rainer, Richard Burton, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, and Elsa Maxwell all make an appearance.

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0000

In this installment of the Trashy Onassis series, we meet Maria Callas. The opera diva had a childhood filled with awful, and then a husband who wasn't much better. By the time Maria and Aristotle begin their affair in 1959, she was a global opera superstar, and he was, as ever, a man in the business of collecting famous women. We'll see whether it was a match made in heaven (spoilers: it wasn't) next week!

S25E4 Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, Part Four | Tina Onassis Spencer-Churchill Niarchos

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0000

While Tina's marriage to Ari wasn't built to last - for so many reasons - their divorce was hardly the end of the world for her. In less than two years, the British-born Tina was walking down the aisle with a future Duke, John Spencer-Churchill, then the Marquess of Blandford. With Ari, she had craved a quieter life, and once she got it, she realized she didn't actually care for a quieter life.

Still, her kids, especially daughter Christina, came to love their stepfather, a bond that would become helpful in the final tragic years of Tina's life. Her sister Eugenia met an untimely end, she would marry Eugenia's widower Stavros Niarchos, her son Alexander would die in a plane crash, and she herself would die at just the age of 45 in a Paris mansion, sparking years of conflict between Christina and Stavros.

S25E3: Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, Part Three: Tina Livanos Onassis

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 05:00:00 -0000

When Ari finally bestirred himself to walk down the aisle, he was 40 years old and his blushing bride, Tina Livanos, daughter of yet another shipping magnate, was just 17. And he and his lifelong nemesis Stavros Niarchos had both been pursuing her for years. Luckily for both men, and unluckily for both women, Tina had a sister, Eugenia, who would become Eugenia Niarchos to her Tina Onassis. And both would find themselves married to tyrants.

S25E2: Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, Part Two: Ingeborg Dedichen

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 04:00:00 -0000

After having his heart broken by an opera singer (no foreshadowing here!), Aristotle Onassis bounced back in the most Aristotle Onassis way possible: by wooing the daughter of a Scandinavian shipping magnate. Ingeborg Dedichen would play a starring role in Ari's life for several turbulent years, and later reveal the depths of physical and emotional abuse that were Ari's trademark. And of course, there was also plenty of betrayal along the way - including Ari setting his sights on a 13-year-old to be his future wife.

S25E1: Aristotle Onassis and His Lovely Ladies, Part One: Artemis Onassis and Claudia Muzio

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Greek shipping magnate and globe trotting rich guy Aristotle Onassis might have been a minor figure in the minds of most Americans if he hadn't inserted himself into the American psychodrama that is the Kennedy family. But obviously, his life and riches did not begin with his courtship of the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy. His story began decades before, with a hot opera singing girlfriend and a dream - of selling cigarettes to women. Hey, everybody starts somewhere.

Actress Jaclyn Smith is best known for being the only one of Charlie's Angels to complete the entire series run back in the late 70s and early 80s, but she's also managed to maintain a busy professional schedule across many decades, both in television and film and by pioneering her own line of women's apparel with Kmart. And with all that, she's also managed three divorces and four marriages.

S24E3: Duncan Hines, Americana Restaurant Critic

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 04:00:00 -0000

The Duncan Hines brand is probably as close to a universally beloved product as we get here in the States, but for most of the real life Duncan Hines's seven decades prior to the baked goods thing, no one could have anticipated that outcome. Born in 1880, he came of age in the new era of automobiles, and as a traveling salesman, he developed a habit that would make him an icon of the era: he took meticulous notes about the little roadside eateries he encountered as he traversed the nation in the first decades of the 20th century. Often, he was accompanied by one of his three wives as he eventually built a little publishing empire, and then a successful branding and licensing enterprise that has been gifting Americans with delightful baked goods for the better part of a century.

S24E1: Bette Davis

Sun, 06 Oct 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Screen legend Bette Davis made her mark in Hollywood by being willing to take on - and forcefully, perfectly inhabit - any interesting role that came her way. Her persona is iconic: a sharp-tongued wit, cigarette dangling, willing to shape-shift into fascinating portrayals of pathos. She was even the participant in one of Hollywood's greatest feuds, with fellow diva Joan Crawford. Her personal life was as topsy-turvy as her roles; she had three divorces and also became a widow under somewhat mysterious circumstances.

Don't forget to enter our Bette Davis Coffee and Book Giveaway with Breakfast at Dominique's! Email us at trashydivorces@gmail.com by Friday, October 11, with the subject line "Bette" and we'll announce our two winners on next Sunday's show!

S23E12: Lena Horne

Sun, 22 Sep 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Hollywood legend Lena Horne changed what was possible for African-Americans performers in America. After a difficult childhood, she found a key ally in her father, who made clear to studio head Louis B. Mayer that he could hire a maid for his daughter - she would not need to play one on screen. Alternating between Hollywood, which was depressing because of its limitations on Black actors, and a thriving nightclub career, she built a prolific and unique career trajectory that saw her become a prominent voice in the Civil Rights Movement, and a central figure in the Hollywood spiderwebs that Alicia loves so much.

We're on break next week, but will be back with more Trashy Divorces on October 6!

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Every so often, we like to take a beat to catch up with some of our exes in a show format we call Dumpster Dive! We do these weekly on Patreon, but in this super expanded mama-jama main feed edition, we bring you the latest in celebrity scandals from TD alums and beyond. This week, we take a look at Dave Grohl's disappointing baby drama (and some internet hoaxery), Tori Spelling's latest career moves, Britney Spears's liberation - not really - from child support payments, the universally anticipated divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Jon Bon Jovi's Nashville hero turn, the long - and still somewhat uncertain - road to the Oasis reunion tour, Justin Timberlake's very good post-DUI statement, and we note the apparent swirl of affair rumors surrounding 78-year-old Donald Trump and 31-year-old Trump superfan Laura Loomer.

S23E10: The Darmstadt Divorce | Ernest Louis and Princess Victoria Melita (Trashy Royals Crossover)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 04:00:00 -0000

We've noticed a lack of royal divorce stories since we kicked off our sibling podcast Trashy Royals more than a year ago now (!). Today, Alicia is bridging that gap by bringing together - and busting apart - two of Queen Victoria's grandchildren. Yes, the long tradition of royal cousins getting hitched. These are Grand Duke Ernest Louis of Hesse and by Rhine (nickname: Ernie) and Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (nickname: Ducky). The two became the subject of intense royal meddling as Victoria, imagining herself a skilled matchmaker, pushed Ernie to propose to Ducky, not realizing Ernie was more of a man's man, if you get our drift. The whole thing, marriage and divorce, turned into a massive scandal that rocked Europe. Enjoy this crossover, and if you like what you hear, go check out Trashy Royals, wherever you're listening right now!

S23E9: Melissa Gilbert

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Melissa Gilbert grew up in front of all of our eyes playing Laura Ingalls Wilder on Little House on the Prairie, and she managed to avoid some of the pitfalls that beset other child stars. Then she met Rob Lowe, and America's Sweetheart started a whole new chapter. It's included two divorces - one trashy, one very much not trashy - and a whole lot of spiderwebs.

S23E8: Joan McCracken and Jack Dunphy

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Dancer and actress Joan McCracken became one of America's biggest stars in the 1940s after her scene-stealing role in Oklahoma! as Sylvie, "The Girl Who Fell Down." In her real life, she was challenged by a secret diagnosis of diabetes in an era where management of the disease was complicated at best, and her marriage to fellow dancer Jack Dunphy - who would go on to be Truman Capote's partner for decades - was wrecked her affair with a French songwriter. Joan would become Bob Fosse's second wife and a major influence in his career. Given how brief her life was - she died at just 43 - her story is an impressive array of spiderwebs into both the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe, and Alicia's Done & Dunne podcast.

Diana Ross is rightly one of the biggest stars in the world, but her fortuitous proximity to Motown Records and its founder, Berry Gordy, and his obsession with her, supercharged the musical career of a girl who dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. Their romance may not have been long lasting, but it left carnage in its wake even as Diana's star rose higher and higher.

S23E6: Natalie Clifford Barney, Amazon Queen of Paris and Her Ladies Almanack Crew

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 04:00:00 -0000

All the televised sights from Paris lately put Alicia in a mood, so today she's got the incredible story of Natalie Clifford Barney, a leading light in the Parisian art world in the 19th century, and also a fearless out lesbian in a time when such a thing was inconceivable to most. American born, Natalie's story is fascinating on many levels, not least because of her constant intersections with and contributions to the makers of the culture in which we live - artists and writers like Collette, Romaine Brooks, Renee Vivien, Djuana Barnes, Radclyffe Hall, Janet Flanner, Solita Solano, Mina Loy, Una Troubridge, and Elisabeth de Gramont, to name just a few.

Once again, your requests are the best stories. Friends, we don't know where to begin with the trashiness that is Clint Eastwood, so we opted to focus mostly on his tumultuous relationship with fellow actor Sondra Locke. This one has everything - an almost pathological level of infidelity, indiscriminate fatherhood, unconventional marriages, and profound betrayals.

You asked for this one, and now we know why! Kelsey Grammer, best known for playing the cerebral and neurotic Dr. Frasier Crane for two decades on NBC, is quite the contrast to his lovable character. A childhood and young adulthood marked by unimaginable tragedies may be the key to why this uber-successful actor's personal life has veered from crisis to crisis.

But the spotlight can be a tough place for someone who has repeatedly faced allegations - even criminal charges - of sexual assault.

S23E2: Michael Landon

Sun, 14 Jul 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Screen legend Michael Landon holds a unique spot even among other wildly successful actors. Landon starred in not one, not two, but three long-running hit television series, starting with Bonanza in 1959, then the iconic Little House on the Prairie in the 70s and early 80s, and finally Highway to Heaven. He was also the consummate family man - sort of. He clearly cherished the role of 'dad' to his nine children, but his first two wives certainly weren't thrilled to be retired for newer models.

Actor Donald Sutherland had a storied career in television and film and received tributes from notable people around the world when he passed away last month. As central a character as he was on film and screen, his personal life in young adulthood was no less exciting - his two divorces and notorious early-70's affair with Jane Fonda wouldn't have led anyone to believe that his third walk down the aisle would be the charm, but indeed it was.

To close out Season 22 - although we're definitely still feeling 22 - Alicia has remixed various episodes about the life and loves of Frank Sinatra, Old Blue Eyes himself - into a mamma jamma supercut of Nancy, Sr., Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and a ton of trashy goodness. We hope it flies you to the moon while we take our between-seasons break. See you on July 7 when we kick off Season 23!

Sun, 16 Jun 2024 04:00:00 -0000

In celebration of Pride month, Alicia brings out of the Trashy Divorces Classics the tale of the Queen of the Gays – Judy Garland! Her story is heartbreaking, with five marriages and four divorces that were probably a predictable outcome of the horrifying ways she was mistreated as a child.

S22E19: Janet Jackson

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 04:00:00 -0000

It's fair to say that Janet Jackson was always destined to be a performer, even if she would have preferred a law degree. Starting life as the baby sister of The Jackson 5, she first took the stage at age seven, and by her teen years was an accomplished actress, as well. But her efforts to separate herself from her domineering father led her to an unwise first marriage, and her superstardom appears to have led her to some interesting efforts at keeping her private life private.

S22E16: Phil Hartman, Part Two

Sun, 02 Jun 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Phil Hartman married for a third and final time in 1987, and while the marriage was quite rocky, he and wife Brynn Omdahl had two children together. What Phil didn't know was that once they were together, they were both on a tragic countdown that would culminate in Phil's murder and Brynn's death by a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the early morning hours of May 28, 1998. Phil Hartman was just 49 years old.

S22E15: Phil Hartman, Part One

Wed, 29 May 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Comedy legend Phil Hartman spent many, many years establishing himself as a performer before he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live and became an icon. His talents weren't just visible on stage; behind the scenes, he was known as a generous colleague who was as at home in a supporting role as he was starring in a sketch. But his home life was never sanguine. In this Part One episode, Alicia introduces the young Phil Hartman, his early career, and his first two marriages, both of which ended in divorce.

Shakira isn't just a global pop phenomenon - she's also the rare Trashy Divorces subject who has never actually been married. But two very long relationships, scandalous breakups, and a shadowy hacker group's revelations about tax avoidance make this story a perfect fit anyway.

S22E12: Tallulah Bankhead (Trashy Divorces Classics)

Sun, 19 May 2024 04:00:00 -0000

While we both hope that our ties to Alabama put us on track to be considered luminaries of the state, we'll never be in the same league as actress Tallulah Bankhead. Born into a powerful political dynasty in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1902, she won a trip to New York City at the age of just 15. She took it from there, landing movie roles and a reputation for her stage work that would take her to London, Hollywood, and permanent icon status.

S22E11: Bruce Springsteen and Julianne Phillips

Wed, 15 May 2024 04:00:00 -0000

In the mid-80s, New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen was on top of the world. His album Born in the U.S.A. became the kind of chart topping achievement that even very successful artists are unlikely to ever experience. He was newly married to model and actress Julianne Phillips, and by all rights he should have been a person experiencing pure bliss, but instead, he found himself at war - with himself.

S22E10: Sam Cooke, Barbara Campbell Cooke, and Bobby Womack

Sun, 12 May 2024 04:00:00 -0000

By the time of his death at just 33, singer Sam Cooke had become a bona fide superstar, as well as being an effective activist in the movement for Black equality in America. He had also been married twice, and it's in the story of his second wife, Barbara Campbell Cooke, where things get very complicated, very fast. Because Barbara did not attend Sam Cooke's funeral alone. She was escorted by his friend, protege, and guitar player Bobby Womack, who drove her there in Sam's car, dressed in Sam's best clothes. And the story only gets worse from there.

Wed, 08 May 2024 04:00:00 -0000

This week, we're taking the opportunity to catch up on some recent splits that may not have generated enough coverage to produce a full episode on their own.

Today, Alicia takes us back to the Real Housewives universe with the story of a two-season cast member from the Miami edition, Joanna Krupa. And seriously, you're not ready for all the very many places this story goes. There's an oft-postponed wedding, TMI comments to tabloids, and a defamation lawsuit featuring none other than TD alum Brandi Glanville. Buckle up, Trash Pandas. This one is a lot.

S22E07: Alex Kingston and Ralph Fiennes, ft. Francesca Annis

Wed, 01 May 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Alex Kingston's career really took off in the mid-1990s, first portraying Dr. Elizabeth Corday on NBC's ER, and then in the late 2000s, as River Song, the mysterious friend who knew Doctor Who's future on the hit BBC series. Spoilers! All of it followed a devastating split from her partner of 12 years, and husband of two years, Ralph Fiennes. While playing Hamlet, Fiennes fell in love with the actress playing Hamlet's mother Gertrude - launching a decade long relationship that would itself implode amid infidelity allegations.

S22E06: Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst (Done & Dunne Crossover)

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Media mogul William Randolph Hearst can be cast as a hero or a villain of the 20th century, and plenty of writers have taken a stab at pinning down his legacy definitively. But one of the lesser remembered aspects of Hearst's life was his abandonment, in 1917, of his wife, Millicent, and their five sons, to spend the rest of his life with actress Marion Davies. One quirk of this arrangement is that Millicent never consented to a divorce from her husband, and while this scandalous state of affairs might have sunk a less powerful person, Hearst's ability to manipulate the vast media empire he owned protected him, and allowed Marion's life and career to flourish on the West Coast.

Baseball legend Babe Ruth, nicknamed "The Sultan of Swat" during his 22-season career, is a treasured piece of Yankees history, but not exactly a family guy! Turns out, he might even have gone to great lengths to limit the financial damage a divorce from his first wife could have inflicted.

S22E04: The William Shakespeare Mystery (Trashy Royals Crossover)

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 04:00:00 -0000

It's a big week for Tortured Poets, so we decided to take a long look at history's most famous one: William Shakespeare himself. Alicia explores the mystery around the true identity of the author of some of the world's most famous pieces of literature. Was it really the actor from Stratford-upon-Avon penning Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and all the sonnets, or was that a convenient pseudonym for someone else, or a group of someone elses?

S22E03: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green, ft. Machine Gun Kelly

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Beverly Hills 90210 alum Brian Austin Green has grown up in the public eye. His first serious relationship was with Tiffani Amber Thiessen, who eventually became his co-star on the hit series, and then became his ex-girlfriend. Then, he moved on with another castmate, Vanessa Marcil, and while they got engaged and had a baby, they never married. It was with the 13-year-younger Megan Fox that Brian finally walked down the aisle after six years together, and it was with Megan Fox and her new (now former?) partner Machine Gun Kelly that Brian got to experience the joys of divorce a decade later.

S22E02: Michael Douglas

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 04:00:00 -0000

We think of him as Hollywood royalty, a star born of a star, but the truth is that Michael Douglas's father, Kirk Douglas, wasn't famous when Michael was young, and by the time Kirk was a box office winner, he was actively panning his son's college theater efforts to try to dissuade him from the biz. Obviously, Michael didn't heed that advice, and along the way, has managed to enjoy (or not) a very protracted divorce, a long and sometimes bumpy marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the occasional slip of the tongue.

S22E01: Judge Judy Sheindlin

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 04:00:00 -0000

And we're back, with a brand new episode of Sassy Divorces! Americans are almost certainly familiar with Judge Judy, the no-nonsense jurist who's hosted history's most successful reality TV courtroom since way back in the 1990s. And if you think the TV version of Judy Sheindlin is tough, wait 'till you hear about her in real life. When her first husband didn't take her career seriously, she chose her career. When her second husband didn't take her grief after losing her father seriously, she handed him divorce papers. Well - about that. Turns out even a tough-as-nails judge has a heart, and she and Jerry Sheindlin got married again, and have been enjoying happily ever after for more than 30 years now.

S21E22: Mary J. Blige

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Mary J. Blige has been on top for so long that it's entirely proper to refer to her as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, but for all of her astonishing professional success in music and beyond, her personal life has featured more than her fair share of obstacles. After a mixed bag of relationships in her 20s, she thought she had finally found the one when she married her manager in 2003 - only to find herself in financial peril years later, when she discovered in divorce proceedings that he'd not only broken her heart, but left her buried in debt, as well.

Thank you for another amazing season of Trashy Divorces! We'll be back with Season 22 starting Wednesday, April 10!

When actors Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek, Fringe) and Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim, Anne Boleyn) got together in 2018, it seemed like a match made in Hollywood heaven. But this is Trashy Divorces, so you can guess that the wedded bliss didn't last. After a sudden split in 2023, Jodie has been dropping epic, if somewhat cryptic, shade, and Joshua has recently been spotted vacationing with Lupita Nyong'o.

When the beloved TV series Full House ended in 1995, actress Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, had spent more of her life on the show than off. At just 13, she experienced a personal and professional shift that took her years to recover from. In the process, she experienced significant substance misuse and three marriages that were doomed to fail for various reasons - but today, she is happy and healthy and in a great marriage.

TikTokker reesamteesa has a banger of a story about her whirlwind romance, quick wedding, and rapid divorce from "Legion," a man she describes as a "pathological liar." It's a shocking story - part mystery, part love gone wrong - that Alicia has been fully engrossed by, and in this Part One, she breaks down the first six hours or so of @reesamteesa's epic tale.

S21E15: Cheech Marin

Wed, 28 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Actor, comedian, and musician Cheech Marin stormed into the public imagination back in the 70's as half of the stoner comedy duo Cheech & Chong, but his career has long since expanded beyond weed-fueled road trip movies. Along the way, he's had ups and downs with creative partner Tommy Chong, gone through two divorces, and opened an art museum celebrating Chicano art. Alicia has the whole smoke-filled ride.

S21E14: John Derek, Linda Evans, and Bo Derek (ft. Ursula Andress)

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Actor and filmmaker John Derek may not have been the gifted auteur he imagined himself to be, but his luck with the ladies was undeniable. His four marriages were all to starlets, and his roving eye eventually led to an ugly split from a young Linda Evans, later of Dynasty fame, for an even younger - in fact, a minor at the time - Bo Derek.

S21E13: Daryl Hall and John Oates

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Not every big breakup is romantic, as songwriting and performing legends Daryl Hall and John Oates are unfortunately learning in the Chancery Court of Nashville, Tennessee. Friends since college, the duo spent years honing their craft before breaking out big in the 1970s, and giving the world some of the catchiest music around - Maneater, Rich Girl, Kiss on My List, You Make My Dreams, among many others. Their half-century long partnership has existed long enough to see a revival of their early work in the last decade or two, but a recent lawsuit and restraining order may mark the definitive end of the band everybody knew as Hall & Oates.

Sun, 18 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

James Brown was known by a lot of titles: The Godfather of Soul and The Hardest Working Man in Show Business among them, but as Alicia shares, his personal life was more than a little bit of a catastrophe. From trouble with the law, to trouble with the IRS, to extremely abusive relationships with women, this musical legend's legacy is mixed at best. And was he murdered?

S21E11: Actress Billie Piper

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

When the Doctor Who television series rebooted on BBC in 2005, the producers were looking for a very specific type of person to play The Doctor's human traveling companion. They wanted a young actress to connect to a new generation of viewers, but also relatably perform the role of an ordinary girl whose adventures with The Doctor connect her to what makes her extraordinary. The selection of actress Billie Piper for the part of Rose Tyler was especially inspired; after all, Billie had been a pop star by age 15, only to walk away from a life she didn't want - and toward the one she did.

Sun, 11 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

English actress Jane Seymour has been a mainstay in film and television for decades. From her breakout role as Bond girl Solitaire in Live and Let Die to her much loved turn as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, she's been an elegant and indelible cultural presence, with a slew of awards to show for it. But her love life? Oh, that's been an awful lot rockier. Alicia has the trashy dirt on this almost-All Star.

S21E09: Dumpster Dive! The Grammys, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, The British Royal Family, Brangelina, and Taylor Swift

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

We often cite Dumpster Dives as a Patreon benefit, and with so many TD Alums in the news lately, we thought it would be fun to bring one to the main feed. In the Dumpster this week, Alicia talks Grammys magic, of which there was plenty. Stacie takes a musical follow-up with the recent high-profile spat between exes Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Then Alicia has thoughts about the spate of medical issues facing Britain's ruling family - King Charles III, Sarah Ferguson, and Kate Middleton are all off to a terrible start in 2024. Stacie updates us on the ongoing legal dispute between exes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the $500 million winery that they just can't seem to quit squabbling over, and Alicia closes us out with some delicious Taylor Swift trashcandy.

S21E08: Aaron Burr, Sir

Sun, 04 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0000

After finally catching a live performance of Hamilton the Musical this week, Alicia's mind returned to the wild life story of Hamilton antagonist Aaron Burr. Things didn't stop for him after the infamous duel, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's play doesn't even get into Burr's secret family, unacknowledged children, or his much later marriage to - and divorce from - one of the richest women in America. And if the tale is true, there may have been a bit of poetic justice on the part of the Hamilton family there at the end.

S21E07: The Yankees Wife Swap

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0000

On March 5, 1973, Major League Baseball hosted what had to be the wildest pair of press conferences in its history. Yankees southpaw pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, for reasons that defy any kind of good explanation, revealed to reporters from spring training that they had not merely swapped wives with each other, but lives. Months before, Mike had moved into Fritz's home, with Fritz's wife, two children, and dog, and Fritz had moved into Mike's, with Mike's wife, his two children, and his dog. It set off a firestorm that tanked both of their careers, and left a stadium's worth of bad feelings between the two old friends.

S21E06: Morgan Freeman

Sun, 28 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Is there anyone who doesn't love actor Morgan Freeman? Star of iconic films like Driving Miss Daisy and The Shawshank Redemption, he's an Academy Award winner and the possessor of one the most recognizable voices in entertainment. As a celebrity with two divorces under his belt, he's definitely in our wheelhouse, but allegations - denied by all parties - that surfaced after his second divorce, and again during the trial of his granddaughter's murderer, leave a distinctly disturbing aftertaste to this one.

S21E05: Joey Lawrence

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Actor and musician Joey Lawrence roared into Americans' consciousness at the tender age of 5, when he tap danced his way into our hearts on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1982. From there, everything was coming up Joey for most of the next two decades: Gimme a Break!, Blossom, and Brotherly Love set his high water mark, but he's worked steadily in his industry ever since. He's also been through two divorces and a bankruptcy - and Stacie thinks he may have benefited from taking some "me time" in between his fast-moving relationships.

S21E03: Doris Day, Part One

Wed, 17 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0000

Actress and singer Doris Day built a giant career in Hollywood on the image of the All-American Girl, a perfectly relatable Girl Next Door, virtuous and funny. It was pure spin, with Groucho Marx once quipping, "I've been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin." Doris herself chafed at the limitations of the type-casting and how utterly at odds it was to the life she was actually living. In this first part of her story, Alicia takes us through her start in show business, her first two husbands, and a whole lotta playing the field in 1950s Hollywood.

S21E02: Skateboarding Legend Tony Hawk

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0000

If you were a 90s kid, you were around for the emergence of skateboarding as a sport, Tony Hawk as its king. Timing being everything, Tony didn't just master and innovate skateboarding, he also got on board the emerging art form of video games early, launching the lucrative Tony Hawk Pro-Skater series in 1999 - a franchise that continues to this day. While his success as an athlete and entrepreneur are impressive, his luck in love has been a bit more spotty, with three trashy divorces behind him, but a fourth marriage that seems to be going strong.

S21E01: Cher and Gregg Allman

Wed, 10 Jan 2024 05:00:00 -0000

All the way back in Season One, Stacie covered the marriage and divorce of Sonny and Cher. But Cher's marital adventures didn't end with Sonny Bono, as Alicia shares. After things fizzled between the pair, Cher went on to marry The Allman Brothers' Gregg Allman - who was unfortunately pretty wrapped up in a cycle of addiction at the time. Things were hard for the couple, and while they gave it a real go (with three divorce filings across their four years!), in the end, they were left merely as co-parents harboring a lot of affection and regret.

S20E22: Gilded Age Chronicler Edith Wharton

Sun, 24 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Edith Wharton came by her subject matter the old fashioned way: she was born into a prominent New York City family, and was subjected to the mores of the city's high society circle from birth. This did not suit the plain, brainy young Edith even a little bit, much to her mother's horror, but Edith did eventually submit to an extremely unhappy marriage to a diagnosed megalomaniac (!), which ended in, you guessed it, a trashy divorce.

We are taking our mid-season break and will be back with you January 10! Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year to all!

S20E21: Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Rascal Flatts is one of the most celebrated country music acts of the 21st century, but when the band announced that it would break up after a farewell tour in January 2020, the story took a bunch of unexpected turns. Obviously, the pandemic hit and the tour wasn't in the cards, but then it appears that guitarist Joe Don Rooney's life fell all the way apart in the ensuing months. The farewell tour is still TBD at best, but his 15-year-long marriage is all the way over, and it's anyone's guess what comes next for the man and the band.

S20E20: Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

2023 has been a monster year for breakups, with celebrities (Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, anyone?), politicians (Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!), musicians (almost too many to choose: Cardi B and Offset are done; Kacey Musgraves broke up with her longtime boyfriend), all hitting the escape hatch. Breakups are hard, but we are here to say: We're for it! If your relationship isn't giving you what you need, there's no shame in deciding to leave and go live your best life. That's exactly what Alicia wishes that Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, wife of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, had done in their doomed marriage a century ago. This is a reprise of a Season One episode, rewritten and re-recorded.

S20E19: Molly Ringwald

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

In the 1980s, filmmaker John Hughes was the king of a certain kind of cinema, and his very favorite leading lady was teen idol Molly Ringwald. With a zest for the parts Hughes had written for her and a refreshing atypical beauty, Molly became one of the most famous faces of the era, and the performer of generation-defining characters. Her path departed from Hughes's after Pretty in Pink, and the years since have taken her places she never expected going - including through a tough divorce.

S20E18: Robert Downey Jr.

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Some stories contain great seeds of trash that bloom instead into a resilient forest, and that's our story today. Actor Robert Downey Jr., Marvel's Iron Man, famously had a rough start to his career. For years, he was in and out of rehab, in and out of jail, and keeping the Los Angeles Police Department plenty busy with various drug-fueled bad decisions. Talented though he obviously was, he was all but written off by Hollywood in the early 2000s, when he finally found the strength to sit with his demons and chose not to let them control him any longer. There was also a long relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker and a doomed - for obvious reasons - first marriage along the way.

Here's Robert Downey Jr. performing a snippet of Joni Mitchell's 'River' on Ally McBeal: 2006 Robert Downey Jr. - Joni Mitchell's 'River' (YouTube link)

S20E17: James Gandolfini

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

When The Sopranos premiered on HBO in 1999, no one knew how thoroughly it would change television for a generation. Mob boss Tony Soprano, portrayed so ably by actor James Gandolfini, was a complex anti-hero who was capable of both shocking violence and everyman confusion and ambivalence about his role as a father, husband, son, mobster, and human being. Gandolfini himself may have been the perfect actor for the role, but becoming Tony Soprano was harder than the public knew. He battled his own demons throughout the series run, including during his divorce from his first wife, while the few years he had remaining post-Sopranos at least seem to have represented a fresh start.

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 05:00:00 -0000

When the powerful and influential pass, we always like to take a look at their personal stories, and wow is Henry Kissinger's time in the limelight as Secretary of State to Richard Nixon a shocking document of weirdness. Hailed as "Washington's Greatest Swinger" (which meant something a bit more tame than it does these days), the bookish foreign policy expert became an unlikely sex symbol during a time of real tumult. Stacie has the unexpected, but apparently true, story.

S20E15: Rock Hudson

Wed, 29 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Hollywood heartthrob Rock Hudson was everywhere on American screens in the 1950s and 1960s. He was the man every woman wanted, and every man wanted to be, but what Hollywood knew and the public didn't was that Rock Hudson was a fabrication, a character in and of himself. Roy Harold Scherer, later Roy Fitzgerald, was turned into Rock Hudson by one of Hollywood's most notorious talent agents, Henry Willson, known as much for taking sexual advantage of the young men he made stars as for the stars themselves. Rock Hudson navigated the difficult waters of being a gay star in a time when that would have destroyed his career; when he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1984, he made the complicated choice to go public with the news. While he was abandoned by friends Ronald and Nancy Reagan, he became the face of an emerging pandemic so enmeshed with social issues that his candor arguably changed the course not only of the fight against AIDS, but of the gay rights movement in America and worldwide.

S20E14: Hollywood Legend Loretta Young

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Loretta Young's decades-long career, starting in 1917, was lauded in Hollywood. She's the winner of an Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and three Primetime Emmy Awards, as well as the recipient of two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was married three times, but it's the affair with - or sexual assault by - Clark Gable, and the resulting child that became her "adopted daughter" that really tells the tale of the moral force that was Loretta Young.

Last fall, daytime TV watchers were either thrilled or scandalized by The Daily Mail's revelation that GMA3 co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes - both married at the time - had leapt the bounds of friendship and were canoodling in New York City bars and taking romantic getaways to a cabin upstate. ABC pulled the pair from the air within days, and they'd exited the network entirely by early 2023, but their respective divorces would take more time, and heartache, to complete.

S20E11: 90210's Ian Ziering

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 05:00:00 -0000

Aaron Spelling spent decades at the pinnacle of television production in America, spearheading cultural touchstones like Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Dynasty, and, for today's story, the 90s classic Beverly Hills, 90210. The show launched numerous young stars' careers, some more successfully than others. Actor Ian Ziering portrayed Steve Sanders in all 10 seasons of the show, but his life and career have been a bit turbulent. A short first marriage overlapped the show, and a longer, but now over, marriage overlapped his time starring in the cult movie series Sharknado. Alicia has all the trashy details.

S20E09: Fantasy Island's Herve Villechaize

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Content note: Discussion of suicide.

For a vanishingly brief few years in the late 80s and early 90s, America fell in love with a French actor most known for his small stature and high excitement at new arrivals. When Herve Villechaize opened Aaron Spelling's Fantasy Island with the exclamation, "The plane! The plane!" the public knew they were about to treated to another charming adventure featuring stars old and new. Unfortunately for Herve, his ego and excesses - he claimed to have slept with 35 women while filming a Bond movie in the 70s, during his first marriage - would get in the way of his continuing stardom, and increasing medical complications would rob his life of joy.

If you were of a certain age in the 1990s, it's highly likely that Tia Mowry and her sister Tamera played a pivotal role in your development as an adolescent. The twins starred in Sister, Sister, an anchor of ABC's TGIF lineup, from 1995-1999, and became major parts of the zeitgeist of the era. Both have gone on to successful careers in entertainment, and both have married and had children of their own. But Tia shocked the world in October 2022, when she announced the end of her marriage to fellow actor Cory Hardrict - sparking a divorce fight that got uglier than she could have anticipated.

S20E06: Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger, ft. Sophia Bush

Sun, 29 Oct 2023 04:01:00 -0000

The US National Women's Soccer Team is mostly known for its dominance in the field, but lately, a cheating scandal has emerged that's rocking the sport. Not cheating at sports, mind you, but the more personal kind. Soccer power couple Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger, married since 2019, are suddenly divorcing, and it looks like it has everything to do with One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush.

S20E05: Joan Bennett

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Hollywood legend Joan Bennett didn't always want to follow in her family's footsteps as an actor. The youngest of the Bennett Sisters, her siblings Constance and Barbara were already film stars by the time Joan determined to hang a shingle as an interior designer, but motherhood got in the way. After her first short marriage and divorce, she had an extra mouth to feed, which launched her on a decades' long career that spanned dozens of films, including Puttin' on the Ritz, She Wanted a Millionaire, and Little Women, where she played Amy alongside Katherine Hepburn's Jo. But her storied career hit a significant obstacle in 1951, when her third husband opened fire on her manager, believing them to be having an affair, and Joan, more than either man, was sidelined for the scandal. Until a little show called Dark Shadows premiered, anyway.

S20E04: Elon Musk Redux (Trashy Divorces Classics)

Sun, 22 Oct 2023 04:01:00 -0000

With the publication of Walter Isaacson's Elon Musk biography, Stacie's been following up on some of the highs, lows, and general mayhem in the life and career of Elon Musk since we first covered him back in May of 2021. We really just scratch the surface on our update - a comprehensive telling of the last couple of years would easily be as long as Isaacson's entire book, and then we re-air our original origin story of Elon Musk.

S20E03: Hugh D. Auchincloss (Done & Dunne Crossover)

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Some stories have so much trash it's hard to know where to begin, but for scion of the Standard Oil fortune Hugh D. Auchincloss, it's hard to know even where to stop. Auchincloss, about as blue blood as you can get, was married three times, and through that particular journey, ended up being step-father to the future Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwell, from his third marriage, as well as the writer Gore Vidal, via his second marriage. It's this second marriage, to the former Nina Gore, that opened him to the later ponderings of step-son Gore Vidal, and his particularly poisonous pen. Get ready for a bit of a Forrest Gump journey through mid-20th century America, but in this case, a rich Forrest Gump with serious erectile dysfunction.

S20E02: RHONJ's Dina Manzo

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Bravo's The Real Housewives franchise has lent many things to our culture: feuds, fights, memes, and a constellation of people who've come to be known as Bravolebrities. For original New Jersey cast member Dina Manzo, the experience sparked genuine conflict with her sister, also a cast member, and Dina became the first Housewife to leave a series of her own volition. But that's the beginning, not the end, of a story that involves a long divorce, organized crime, and even violence.

S20E01: Christina Ricci

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Content Warning: Child abuse, domestic violence

Actress Christina Ricci has been entertaining us on the big and small screen since she was just ten years old. While many child stars chafe under the pressure of early stardom, for Christina, escaping to a film set was a welcome diversion from her parents' troubled marriage and eventual divorce. While her career would become a sustained success as an adult, her own first marriage turned into a nightmare scenario she's still struggling with, even well into a happy second marriage.

S19E24: The Best Is Yet To Come | Tony Bennett, Part Two

Sun, 24 Sep 2023 04:01:00 -0000

The years after Tony's second marriage were not happy ones for him. His career took a downturn as Americans' musical tastes changed, and he coped with the dislocation in extremely unhealthy ways, which crashed his marriage, too. Finding himself entirely adrift, he did the most vulnerable thing a struggling parent could do: he called his adult sons and asked for help. It was the turning point in a life and career that would sparkle for decades to come.

S19E23: I Left My Heart in San Francisco | Tony Bennett, Part One

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 04:01:00 -0000

By nearly all accounts, crooner Tony Bennett was one of the greats. Not just as a singer and performer, but in the ways he treated people, the causes he chose to champion, and his endless willingness to contribute his talents to charity events. But even the greats have rough spots! There may be very few people with an unkind word to say about Tony Bennett, but his two ex-wives could surely be among them. Alicia has his background, lessons from his World War II experiences, and his first marriage in Part One of our Tony Bennett story.

S19E22: Mr. Perfectly Fine | Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas

Sun, 17 Sep 2023 04:01:00 -0000

That an actor and a musician would be divorcing isn't really news, but in the case of Jonas Brothers frontman Joe Jonas and his recently filed divorce from wife of four years, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, a dumb PR move turned it into a huge story. Did Joe mean for the tabloids to run stories suggesting that Sophie is a bad mom? We may never know, but this Jonas Brother has managed to give himself a huge black eye.

S19E21: Radio Song | Rush Limbaugh

Wed, 13 Sep 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Rush Limbaugh ascended to heights of conservative talk radio in the 80s and 90s, introducing a brand of discourse in America most notable for its toxicity. While there was a willing audience for his bilge, it's clear from his three divorces, substance misuse, and legal issues, that his notoriety wasn't without costs.

After Carl Sagan's first divorce, from biologist Lynn Margulis, he was to find love again. And, in a massive betrayal, yet again. Look, the guy indisputably made big contributions to science and the public's understanding of it, but his personal life was a mess!

S19E19: The Scientist | Carl Sagan, Part One

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Astronomer Carl Sagan was an ever-present voice in American culture for several decades in the latter half of the 20th century, sometimes commenting on topics far beyond the scope of his space science training. If you think that suggests some ego, you would be right, and that attribute or character flaw (depending on your perspective) certainly impacted his ability to enjoy happy marriages. In this first of a two-part story, we get into Carl's background and his first marriage, to pioneering biologist Lynn Margulis.

Alicia has been a Buffett superfan since childhood, and the only thing that felt right for today's episode was to bring back her 2020 Jimmy Buffett story. Enjoy a margarita, if that's your thing, and have a safe and happy long Labor Day weekend.

S19E17: No Tell Lover | David Letterman

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Content warning: Discussion of suicide

Late night television's David Letterman has been a fixture in American households since the early 80s. His wry wit, top ten lists, and willingness to take his show into unexpected directions, all for laughs, made him a comedy legend, but the man himself has often been beset by insecurity. One friend describes his "demonically low self-esteem," and perhaps that is why he has so often strayed into infidelity in his famously private personal life. Stacie has the details.

S19E16: Send Me An Angel | Corey Feldman

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 04:01:00 -0000

80's heartthrob Corey Feldman is an integral piece of film history from the decade. In movies like Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand By Me, and - alongside the second half of "The Two Coreys," Corey Haim - The Lost Boys, he was simply everywhere and seemingly in everything. Behind the scenes, however, his story was a much harder road - an abusive family, childhood sexual exploitation, and increasingly dire substance misuse. His adulthood, including two divorces and a just-announced third, is very clearly influenced by that childhood stolen by Hollywood and fame.

Here's the very odd Today Show performance of Corey Feldman and his Angels (YouTube link).

Content note: This episode includes allegations of child abuse, sexual exploitation, and substance misuse. To jump ahead to the start of the adult chapter of Corey's life, advance to around minute 35, depending on which ads are served earlier in the episode.

Well friends, it finally happened: Stacie's very first Trashy Divorces profile, Rudy Giuliani, has been indicted! Deservedly so, we think, and to make the case, we take a look at the four lawsuits he's currently wrapped up with. While the first three are defamation cases related to his election-stealing efforts, it's the fourth one that's really likely to scrap his reputation for the ages.

Kelly, you see, has been on quite a journey through trauma and self-discovery - including two divorces and a significant relationship breakup - and has more than moved on from the Hollywood hustle.

Tongues are wagging across the globe about this unlikely - and potentially unwise - pairing. Stacie has the details.

Three of them featured a surprising amount of violence directed at him; two of his wives simply refused to allow him to divorce for years after he had moved on to new relationships. In spite of the tumult, the third James Bond seems to have permanently remained a caring, deeply decent person.

Well that's perfectly fine to try in a small town, apparently.

While her first marriage sounds like a fairly classic no-hard-feelings starter marriage, hubby #2 certainly trashed the place up in their short marriage. Alicia has high hopes for her fourth marriage though, now more than a decade along.

Three days after filing for divorce from her second husband, the accomplished lawyer in the Los Angeles District Attorney's office got a call about a double murder in Brentwood the night before. Her life would never be the same, in part because of the very awful contributions her exes and their family members made to the story.

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Movie stars have always had to weigh the facts of their authentic lives against the cost that revelations about those might inflict. This was the bind that screen legend Mary Astor was in back in 1936. Her unfaithful husband had been abusive, but his addiction to her money, and the reputational cost she would face for divorcing him, meant he was going nowhere. Until he found her diary, and realized he could have it all: her money, their daughter, and his freedom, by blackmailing her into a divorce on his terms. But when Mary realized that her daughter was in danger, she put it all on the line in a headline-grabbing custody trial that could have finished her career.

Nighttime talker Jimmy Kimmel's divorce wasn't particularly trashy, but in a career that's now spanned decades, he's had his trashy moments. From an unclear beginning with fellow comedian Sarah Silverman to his baby son's medical crisis (see his moving monologue about it on YouTube here) to a fairly obscene feud with Sean Hannity and Marjorie Taylor Greene (watch Jimmy file a report with Batman about Georgia's MTG, on YouTube), this Original Prankster has had quite a run.

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 04:01:00 -0000

For those of us growing up in the 1980s, and our parents as well, The Facts of Life was simply must-see TV. The coming of age story of four girls at a boarding school, under the care of watchful housemother Mrs. Garrett, warmed our hearts and our television screens. Who can forget preppy, glamorous Blair Warner, brought to life for nine seasons by actress Lisa Whelchel? Lisa, a committed Christian from the age of 10, has gone on to have quite the journey over the decades, from marrying (and later divorcing) a pastor, to writing a number of Christian-themed books on family and parenthood. But it was her season on Survivor in 2012 that seems to have sparked a personal growth journey for the ages! Alicia has the details.

S19E02: Personal Jesus | Bishop Eddie Long

Sun, 09 Jul 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Atlanta's Bishop Eddie Long made himself a prominent voice in the fertile world of Prosperity Gospel preachers in the early 2000s. His charismatic preaching style and internationally broadcast sermons grew his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to more than 25,000 members, and landed Bishop Long behind the wheel of luxury Bentleys and enjoying time aboard private jets. But there was a dark side to it all, including allegations from four teenaged congregants of coerced sexual relationships, as well as evidence of significant financial misdeeds.

S19E01: Forever In Blue Jeans | Calvin Klein

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 04:01:00 -0000

And we're back! Alicia kicks off Season 19 with the life and times - and trashy divorces and breakups - of fashion icon Calvin Klein. Yes, he pioneered designer jeans and scandalized the world with a racy Brooke Shields ad campaign in the 80s, but his real triumph seems to be forcing everyone in his orbit to see his name on underwear when a man disrobes!

S18E24: It's A Man's Man's Man's World | Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi

Sun, 25 Jun 2023 04:01:00 -0000

When news broke that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had died earlier this month, he went from a name on our list of potential subjects to a subject ripe for exploration. And what a ride it is - from his numerous affairs, to his scandalous (and criminal) "bunga bunga" parties, to his nearly flawless success in avoiding consequences for all manner of criminal conduct - his story is yet more proof that, like James Brown said, "It's a man's man's man's world."

Programming note: We're off next week to work on getting Season 19 ready for you! See you back on July 5, Trash Pandas!

S18E23: Little Miss Can't Be Wrong | RHOC's Kelly Dodd

Wed, 21 Jun 2023 04:01:00 -0000

We've covered our fair share of Real Housewives on this show, but we're pretty sure you'll agree that even at their trashiest, none can hold a candle to the Real Housewives of Orange County's Kelly Dodd. From rampant allegations of domestic violence to taking her feuds - real and imagined - onto social media, Kelly's outrageous behavior was even too much for Bravo.

Sun, 18 Jun 2023 04:01:00 -0000

In honor of Father's Day, Stacie has the very human story of actor Gavin MacLeod, best known as Captain Stubing on TV's The Love Boat. His story - including two arguably trashy divorces - is about as relatable as it gets, and without giving away the ending, the man only gets halos. Ahoy!

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 04:01:00 -0000

It's Pride Month, and to celebrate, we have the story of Bravolebrity and California real estate mega-broker Josh Flagg, whose 2022 divorce from ex-husband Bobby Boyd led to some notably sharp exchanges on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing. Even better, this one has the awesome tale of Josh's grandmother, Edith, who legit fought the Nazis as part of the Dutch Resistance during WWII.

S18E19: Tiny Dancer | Tony Danza

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Since the mid-80s, Americans have puzzled over the enduring question: Who's The Boss? It turns out that the star of that much loved television show, Tony Danza, is a decidedly untrashy fellow, even with three divorces under his belt. Stacie has all the details, which amount to a heaping helping of wholesome Gen X nostalgia.

S18E18: Fly Like An Eagle | Terrence Howard

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 04:01:00 -0000

We've covered a lot of eccentric personalities on this show, we've covered a lot of people with anger management problems, and we've covered plenty of out of control egos. Somehow, Empire star Terrence Howard has transmuted all of those traits into a basically off-the-charts life story. Seriously, all our scales for trashiness are having to be recalibrated after this one. Alicia has the deets.

S18E17: Introducing Trashy Royals | The Affair of the Diamond Necklace

Wed, 31 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

This week, we want to share a little something we've been cooking up here at Hemlock Creatives! Over the course of creating Trashy Divorces, we've come to realize that trashbaggery is a permanent part of the human experience, and few figures in our history has been ostentatiously trashy as any given period's elites. Enter: Trashy Royals, a new podcast dropping every Thursday that explores the enduring truth of all cultures: our betters have always been among our worst.

Please enjoy this Trashy Royals episode, The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, and listen to Trashy Royals wherever you get your podcasts!

05. The Affair of the Diamond Necklace

Unsurprisingly, the French Revolution didn’t happen particularly spontaneously. Years of financial mismanagement, poor crops, massive unemployment, and a swelling population in Paris itself all contributed to a growing dissatisfaction with King Louis XVI and the monarchy in general. The King’s cause wasn’t helped at all by a lingering suspicion that his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, was a profligate spender and an Austrian spy, but Marie Antoinette’s reputation took a calamitous hit in 1785, when an ambitious con artist named Jeanne de la Motte hatched a plan to acquire one of the most expensive jewelry pieces ever crafted.

Playing on the vanity and avarice of one of her lovers, Cardinal Louis de Rohan, Jeanne and her crew succeeded in boosting a piece worth $2 million – and forever ended any goodwill the French public had toward their Queen.

S18E16: Where The Colors Don't Go | Alexis Bledel

Sun, 28 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

It turns out that not all divorces are trashy, and for Gilmore Girls actress Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) her recent split from ex-husband Vincent Kartheiser was handled as discretely as all the other parts of their relationship. But sometimes on a long holiday weekend, you just have to dive into your Gilmore Girls fandom, which we do here with great abandon.

S18E15: Pennies From Heaven | Kaley Cuoco

Wed, 24 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

We often talk about a "starter marriage," believing that maybe the second go-round will go better, but for actress Kaley Cuoco, that's not how it happened. The Big Bang Theory star walked down the aisle - and then into divorce court - twice, and while she seems to have sworn off marriage as a result, that doesn't mean she hasn't found true love.

S18E14: I'm Still Standing | Tracy Morgan

Sun, 21 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

It's probably not quite right to describe comedian and actor Tracy Morgan as "lucky," but it's also sort of a miracle that he's survived the things he's survived. Alicia has his story, from tragic losses early in life to his death-defying comebacks - as well as a couple of a trashy divorces.

Wed, 17 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

We especially love stories where things seemingly go right off the rails, and that's certainly a big piece of the two divorces of country star Sara Evans. A hit maker in her field, her matrimonial situations have been a lot more complicated - and a lot more litigious - than her down home persona might suggest.

S18E12: I Will Survive | Elizabeth Taylor's Astrology, ft. Andy Bellatti (Trashy Divorces Classics)

Sun, 14 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

All the way back in 2019, we were thrilled to be joined by Erica Kelley of the Southern Fried True Crime podcast to discuss the incredible life - and many, many divorces - of the legendary Elizabeth Taylor. In this Trashy Divorces Classics episode, Alicia sat down with astrologer extraordinaire and friend of the show Andy Bellatti to take a look at the astrological elements that helped make Elizabeth Taylor the survivor that she was, and then 2019 us, and 2019 Erica Kelley, have her story.

Check out Andy Bellatti on the web at astrologywithandy.com, and on Instagram.

S18E11: I Could've Been Your Girl | Zooey Deschanel

Wed, 10 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

It's not often that we get to break out the word "adorkable" on Trashy Divorces, but Alicia isn't missing her chance this week with the story of everybody's favorite New Girl, actress, musician, and entrepreneur Zooey Deschanel. While her career has been one highlight after another, her two marriages did not fare as well. Maybe now she's content to enjoy unmarried bliss with a Property Brother.

S18E10: Right Where You Left Me | Iron Chef Cat Cora

Sun, 07 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

This week, we're cooking up the story of America's first female Iron Chef - chef, restaurateur, and cook book author Cat Cora. From humble origins in Jackson, Mississippi, Cat has built an enormously successful career, but unfortunately, her love life has been rockier. In particular, her first divorce has now dragged on for years - and it's not clear the end is in sight yet.

S18E9: Everybody's Got a Cousin in Miami | Peter Phillips, Son of Princess Anne

Wed, 03 May 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Our Coronation Countdown continues with a scion of House Windsor who has never held a title, but has still made some waves for the Palace. Peter Phillips, son of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, was set up to live a "normal" life in spite of being Queen Elizabeth II's first grandchild. It sort of worked! His future first wife only learned of his family ties when, months into their relationship, she saw him in a documentary talking about his cousins, Princes William and Harry. When things came apart in the marriage, Buckingham Palace was kind enough to leave the story well enough alone.

S18E8: Gives You Hell | Lady Colin Campbell

Sun, 30 Apr 2023 04:01:00 -0000

For all the current disorientation around gender, it's easy to forget that these questions - and the ways individuals will answer them - aren't exactly new. Alicia has the story of the UK's Lady Colin Campbell, a best-selling Royals biographer who married into the aristocracy - only to see a caricatured version of her private medical history splashed across tabloid headlines back in the 1970s.

S18E7: Cold As Ice | Sir Anthony Hopkins

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Some people live with nostalgia for all that's come before, but this isn't an issue that acting legend Sir Anthony Hopkins contends with. To whit: the demise of his two marriages and his long estrangement from his only child are met with a classic stiff upper lip. "Life is life," Hopkins has said, "you get on with it." If his earlier decades weren't especially touchy-feely, it does seem like he's found sustained happiness in this century. Stacie has the details.

S18E06: You Give Love A Bad Name | George Lazenby, the Lesser James Bond

Sun, 23 Apr 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Some people are born great, while others have greatness thrust upon them. In spite of honest efforts to thrust greatness onto Australian actor George Lazenby, he has instead built a career and life out of a series of cascading bad decisions - in work and love. His single turn as James Bond could have heralded the start of a glorious career in show biz; instead, it represented a high water mark for an actor whose career never particularly went anywhere. Alicia has all the gory details.

S18E5: Little Lies | Rupert Murdoch (Trashy Divorces Classics)

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 04:01:00 -0000

In light of the eye-popping $1.6 billion defamation case between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, we thought today would be a fine day to roll out something we've been thinking about for a while: update episodes about subjects we've covered before. First up at bat is international media mogul and apparent democracy skeptic Rupert Murdoch, who's had an extremely eventful four-ish years since we first covered him back in 2019. We bring you up to date with the man and some of his troubles, then treat you to the classic original episode. Whatever your feelings about 92-year-old Rupert Murdoch (and we have many), no one will ever be able to accuse him of slowing down in business or romance.

S18E4: 22 | RHOP's Ashley and Michael Darby

Sun, 16 Apr 2023 04:01:00 -0000

When it comes to the Real Housewives franchises, we have a very Godfather-esque take: "Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in again!" So it is that Alicia brings us the three-alarm trashcan fire of the marriage of Real Housewives of Potomac cast members Ashley and Michael Darby. This one's all over the map - a big age difference, allegations of infidelity, allegations of same-sex sexual assault, and a few legal shenanigans as a trashy cherry on top of it all. Buckle up, Trashpandas. This one is Real.

As the daughter of Gambino crime family Mafia boss John Gotti, her childhood was anything but normal, and her adulthood - with an ongoing effort to steer clear of "the life" - hasn't exactly been a walk in the park either. Victoria has been a lot of things in her life, just please don't call her a Mob Princess.

S18E2: Tubthumping | Brendan Fraser

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Newly minted Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser certainly couldn't have predicted the twists and turns his life and career would take when he burst onto movie screens in the 1990s. After battling injuries, the emotional scars from a sexual assault, and an acrimonious end to his marriage, suddenly, Brendan's lost decade or so came to a crashing halt with his acclaimed, and much awarded, role in 2022's The Whale. Stacie has this shining reminder that sometimes good guys do finish first.

While he had just one divorce, he was kind enough to gift us decades of questionable commentary about the appropriate treatment of women, as well as engage in some potential tax shenanigans in Spain. When it comes to Season 18 premieres, "There can be only one!" (That's a Highlander joke, if you haven't seen the 1986 classic recently.)

S17E23: I Never Promised You A Rose Garden | Bill Nye the Science Guy

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 04:01:00 -0000

Today, Stacie adds to the show's nerd credibility with the weird but true story of that time that Bill Nye the Science Guy was married - maybe - for a whopping seven weeks. The end was bad, particularly for the famed science communicator's rose garden.

S17E21: The Pill | Florence Henderson

Wed, 15 Mar 2023 04:01:00 -0000

The Brady Bunch offered the vast middle of America a place of quirky, family-oriented respite in a time of enormous change and social conflict. Real-life Brady matriarch Florence Henderson, beloved as "America's Mom" for the rest of her life, was as changed by the times as anyone. She'd grown up poor, married young, and spent much of the 1950s and '60s trying to balance a thriving career in entertainment with the demands of a growing family, amidst the backdrop of Women's Liberation, the pill, and the Sexual Revolution. Alicia has the goods on one of our era's most adored performers.

And now for something a little lighter: no, journalist and Oprah Winfrey BFF Gayle King has not lived a charmed life, but through thick and thing, marriage and divorce, she's had a voice of reason to help her stay centered and sane. Alicia brings us the awesome tale of the enduring friendship between Gayle and Oprah, as well as Gayle's marriage, divorce, and latter-day liberated public persona.

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Some losses feel impossible, and when news of Robin Williams's death broke back in 2014, the world grieved his passing. Stacie shares the surprisingly tragic story of the actor and comedian's life, including close friendships with Jim Belushi and Christopher Reeve, as well as two divorces.

Sun, 05 Mar 2023 05:01:00 -0000

From Sitcom Moms to True Crime Moms, Alicia has it all this season! Today, she has the kidnapping story that shook the world back in 2016, when California wife and mom Sherri Papini went out for a run and didn't come home. Her husband found her phone and earbuds along a stretch of road on her usual route. American and international media flooded the zone with coverage of the case, and when - miraculously! - Sherri was discovered alive 22 days later, the questions began to mount almost immediately.

S17E17: F.O.D. | Steven Seagal

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Sometimes the story just get worse, and worse, and worse, and that's exactly the case with the life, career, and relationships of washed up action hero Steven Seagal. From his extremely messy marital (bigamist?) history, to his deep bond with a certain Russian dictator, to the many, many allegations of sexual misconduct, Seagal is truly one for the ages - but not for any of the reasons he may believe.

Content Warning: This episode includes allegations of sexual assault and other disturbing conduct.

Sun, 26 Feb 2023 05:01:00 -0000

As Sitcom Moms go, the arrival of Peg Bundy on America's television screens was something of a cultural moment. Katey Sagal's path to the role was not linear, but the early tragedies that defined the start of her career have made her subsequent success sweeter.

For a while, it seemed like Shirley Jones had it all: a roaring career, a gorgeous, famous husband, and even an Academy Award. But away from the bright lights, Shirley's husband Jack Cassidy was growing more and more extreme in his behavior, until an unavoidable - and terrifying - breaking point brought their long marriage to an end.

S17E13: People Will Say We're In Love | Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Some people have all the luck, and at least when it comes to breakthroughs in show business, stage and screen legend Shirley Jones was certainly charmed. After somewhat accidentally - and also successfully - auditioning for Rodgers and Hammerstein, her career took off. It led her to an intoxicating love affair with the charming but not exactly faithful actor Jack Cassidy, who would become Shirley's ex-husband in 1975.

Actress Julie Bowen, best known for playing Claire Dunphy on all 11 seasons of ABC's Modern Family, is a delight who, like so many people have, has been through a divorce.

S17E10: Flowers | Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 05:01:00 -0000

We covered the long and tumultuous relationship (and oh-so-brief marriage) of singer Miley Cyrus and actor Liam Hemsworth, but that was before we learned that Miley's parents, Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus - he of the Achy Breaky Heart - had themselves parted ways. It wasn't the biggest of shocks: by the time of the April 2022 announcement that they'd been separated for at least two years, Tish and Billy Ray had already had two divorce petitions withdrawn or dismissed. In the end, it seems, not everything was reconcilable.

Kennedy Jr., the son of slain Attorney General and presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy. Let's just say that Bobby experienced a troubled youth, which was certainly not helped by the high profile murders his family was subjected to, or his family's effectively unlimited money and prestige.

S17E07: Bust A Move | Silent Film Titan Buster Keaton

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Choosing a career in the arts is always risky, but it's not like Hollywood legend Buster Keaton had a choice. His parents, dreaming of Vaudeville success, had him on stage when he was still in diapers, and by the time he was five, young Buster was the family's breadwinner. As an artist, Buster would go on to be a pioneering filmmaker and a world-renowned comedian - as well as the ex-husband of one of America's most famous faces.

S17E05: Going To California | Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, ca. 1972

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Vladimir Lenin famously observed, "There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen," and it's such a fitting statement for the long-gone era when rock & roll was young. Traveling musicians had long indulged in their share of excess, but when Jimmy Page's Led Zeppelin exploded onto the scene in 1969, they redefined what debauchery could be. At the same time, the first wave of Groupies, typified by Pamela Des Barres, was giving way to the so-called Baby Groupies, a younger cohort. Which is to say, a cohort that was far too young for the relationship Jimmy Page allegedly carried on with a fourteen year old girl. Stacie has the story, in all its trashy, day-glo, Marshall-stack tawdriness.

Content note: This episode includes fairly graphic descriptions of disturbing behavior.

In the mid-1980s, Phylicia Rashad became America's favorite mom and wife with her portrayal of Clair Huxtable on the smash hit, The Cosby Show. In her real life, however, domesticity was a harder slog, and even included a few years married to one of the Village People!

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 05:01:00 -0000

Reality television stars are having a run of bad luck. Real Housewife Erika Jayne is, so far, merely fighting civil lawsuits related to allegations of fraud, while SLC Housewife Jen Shah is staring down a six and a half year sentence for bilking seniors in a telemarketing scam, but the troubles aren't confined to the Bravo universe. Over on the USA Network, Todd and Julie Chrisley have now been convicted of a sprawling financial scam and tax evasion plot - but if you know how Todd's first marriage and divorce went, you might not be entirely surprised by what he's capable of attempting.

S17E02: Smooth Operator | Philip Michael Thomas

Few actors typified cool in the late '80s like Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas. As Detectives Crockett and Tubbs on TV's Miami Vice, they were bona fide sex symbols. But Philip Michael Thomas was something else, too - a man with a messy personal life, a small zip code worth of children, and aspirations that came off as arrogance. Stacie pieces it together.

We're talking about actress Lorraine Bracco, whose messy split from actor Harvey Keitel made her life nearly impossible for most of the 1990s, before a little show called The Sopranos turned everything around for her.

At just 38, she holds the title of highest-grossing box office star of all time, and while her family life has taken some time to gel, there's a lot of reason to think that - Goldilocks style - the third try was finally just right.

S16E20: No One Needs To Know | Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough

Sun, 11 Dec 2022 05:01:00 -0000

With news that two Good Morning America hosts have fallen in love, Stacie recalls the last iteration of this sort of thing, that of MSNBC's Morning Joe hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough. Sitting atop a unique perch at the nexus of America's political and media industries, their public and private lives ended up on a collision course with a certain Twitter-addicted presidential candidate in 2016.

S16E19: Save The Best For Last | Vanessa Williams

Wed, 07 Dec 2022 05:01:00 -0000

It's funny to think that back in the 1980s, a leak of nude pictures could cause a headline-grabbing scandal, but that's exactly what happened to the first Black woman to ever wear the Miss America crown. Vanessa Williams, then 21, was roundly demonized in the press, and was subjected to intense public outrage for her supposed transgression. She was even forced to resign her crown, an overreaction that the pageant would apologize for decades later. Alicia has the whole sorry saga, and the powerful comeback story of one of the great talents in American entertainment - plus a couple of divorces!

S16E18: Somebody's Watching Me | The Corporate Calamity of Liz Elting and Phil Shawe

Sun, 04 Dec 2022 05:01:00 -0000

When a divorcing couple owns a business together, figuring out how to handle it can be a huge pain. Today's couple, while never married, were the engine behind the founding and growth of a wildly successful company. As their personal animosity toward each other grew over the years, the in-office acrimony between TransPerfect founders Philip Shawe and Elizabeth Elting became the stuff of legal legend in the Chancery Court of Delaware - and far beyond.

The world was captivated by the saga of Princess Diana when she married and divorced Prince Charles, but it turns out that marital trouble is a bit of a family matter for the Spencers. Alicia has the details on Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, whose two divorces and other romantic misadventures stand out even among the notoriously randy aristocracy.

Infidelity is bad enough, but to learn about your husband's infidelity from Us Weekly is a different level of bad. That's more or less the story of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville and her ex-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, whose high-profile split sounds like it was a real doozy. Alicia has all the dirty details, including some of the more memorable turns of phrase from Brandi's 2013 memoir, Drinking & Tweeting.

Keke Palmer has questions for days, about everything under the sun. From the existential to the inconsequential. From pop culture to pop science. From the meaning of life to the meaning of W.A.P. From life in outer space to “Where the eff is Tom from MySpace?“ And everything in between. Because Baby, this is Keke Palmer, and she is here for All. Of. It.

Each week, the multi-talented Keke is taking you on a journey down the rabbit hole on a topic that she cannot stop obsessing over.

Stacie catches us up with the costly anti-Semitism of Ye, the bizarre bird business blunders of Elon Musk, and the (allegedly) UTI-inducing management practices of Jeff Bezos. Seriously: Someone should probably check on our oligarchs.

S16E10: Disappearing Act | Lucky Lord Lucan: Act I (Done & Dunne Crossover)

Sun, 06 Nov 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Today we wanted to give you a glimpse of Alicia's other podcast, Done & Dunne! She's been hard at work on a five-part series on Lord Lucan, which is now live. We covered the 1974 disappearance of Lord Lucan following the grisly murder of his children's nanny a couple of years ago, and in this bingeable five-parter, Alicia goes much, much deeper into the case. Enjoy part one - and grab the rest at Done & Dunne wherever you listen to podcasts!

Welcome to Season 5 of Done & Dunne and our investigation into the mysterious vanishing of Richard John Bingham, the 7th Earl of Lucan, also known as Lucky.

John Bingham certainly started life on a lucky streak. This episode delves into Lord Lucan’s background, including his family, early childhood, and meeting his future wife Veronica Duncan. We also introduce our wide cast of characters, all playing in the hot spot of swinging 1960s London, John Aspinall’s Clermont Club, and Mark Birley’s Annabel’s.

It seems that Tony had been carrying on with the wife of one of his San Antonio Spurs teammates for quite a while, a decision that ruptured two marriages and nearly got him excommunicated from his team.

She was skeptical of his financial disclosures when they divorced at the end of the 1980s, but it was her 2009 lawsuit alleging racketeering and insider trading at his SAC Capital that seemed to kick federal regulators into high gear.

09 Trashy Breakups: Don't Worry Baby | Florence Pugh and Zach Braff

Wed, 31 Aug 2022 04:01:00 -0000

It's easy to forget, as we scroll our social media feeds, that there are real people on the far end of our comments. It's bad enough for us normies squabbling with our old co-worker from three jobs ago over the issues of the day, but for celebrities with massive followings, the peanut gallery can sting. It's a situation that actress Florence Pugh knows well. During her three-plus year long relationship with actor-writer-director Zach Braff, there was much to say about their 21-year age difference. So much so that they kept their 2022 breakup under wraps for months.

S15E8: Take A Bow | Rex Harrison

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Rex Harrison became a legendary star of stage and screen during a career that spanned most of the 20th century, but it would be wrong to think he was beloved by all. With six marriages and a fatal love affair, it's safe to assume that his reputation for being hard to work with extended into the domestic sphere. He may have been Doctor Dolittle in his time, but these days, he's what we call a Trashy Divorces All-Star.

Wed, 24 Aug 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Football superstar Tom Brady is often praised for his meticulousness on the field, but off the field, he had a notably messy patch back in the day. While he discovered new love with supermodel Gisele Bundchen, his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan discovered she was pregnant. Talk about complications.

S15E7: Chapel of Love | Tommy Manville, "The Marrying Manville"

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Lest you think that America's culture of celebrity for no reason is new, Stacie is here to assure you that isn't remotely the case. Way, way back, asbestos heir and Manhattan bon vivant Tommy Manville made himself the talk of the times by heading down the aisle over, and over, and over again. With 13 weddings and 11 divorces under his belt, "The Marrying Manville" isn't just a Trashy Divorces All-Star - he's basically a legend!

Wed, 10 Aug 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Alicia has the story of an unforgettable romance - not because it was long-lasting, but because of how it was documented. In the 60s, a new generation of young musicians were pioneering modern music. In this milieu, Stephen Stills was particularly taken with Judy Collins, and penned a song for the ages in an effort to win her heart.

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Having spent some time on Henry VIII for Sunday's episode, Alicia decided to highlight a truly terrible female monarch. Russian history has no shortage of bad rulers, but for sheer cavalier and capricious sadism, Empress Anna's 18th century reign of terror sets her apart as (perhaps) Russia's worst empress.

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 04:01:00 -0000

For Trashy Breakups this week, Alicia has the story of Australian actress Rebel Wilson, who has quite an adventure over the last few years. In 2019, she quietly began dating billionaire brewing heir Jacob Busch, who supported his girlfriend's health-related goals during the pandemic's isolation period. The relationship wasn't built to last in the end, but it was Rebel's next romance that prompted global scorn for her hometown newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald.

This one is a breakup that wasn't: in May 2020, musician Amanda Palmer took to Patreon to announce the apparent end of her marriage to fantasy author Neil Gaiman, but the split was short lived and they're (probably) happily back together now. Stacie walks us through how Amanda became "The Most Hated Woman On The Internet" and the author of a must-read memoir for anyone trying to get a creative project off the ground.

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 03:40:23 -0000

This week, Stacie has a 'good divorce,' one where everyone seems to have accepted the situation and stayed friendly and supportive of each other. Unfortunately for actor Lou Diamond Phillips, who by all accounts was very gracious through it all, his first divorce continues to be described in the press as "when his wife, Julie Cypher, left him for Melissa Etheridge." Then, Alicia dips into one of the 20th century's most fascinating sets of siblings, the Mitford Sisters. Diana Mitford married well, but restlessness led her to an affair with British Fascist leader Oswald Mosley, as well as a long-running flirtation with fascism itself.

03 Trashy Breakups: Fly | Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 05:01:00 -0000

For this week's Trashy Breakups, we have a couple who certainly dreamed of flying - but perhaps in different ways. Model and influencer Blac Chyna dreamed of ascending to the lofty heights of fame, while her ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian may have secretly imagined a future where he'd somehow drifted away from his all too famous family. Their 2016 relationship was short, but the aftereffects are being felt even this very week in a Los Angeles courtroom.

Once upon a time, actors Matt Damon and Minnie Driver were Hollywood's "It Couple" - young, beautiful, talented, and very much in love. And then one day, in an agonizingly public way, Matt made it known that they weren't anymore. Alicia has the trashy tale of what is possibly the worst thing Matt Damon has ever done.

11 Trashy Breakups: Return To Sender | A Favorite Trash Panda Letter

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 04:01:00 -0000

Some stories are too good not to tell, and our email inbox routinely fills with absolute gems from the lives of our listeners. This week, we're sharing a hilarious story from Polly, who wanted to lighten our mood during our move last summer, and it completely did the trick. This one has it all: a mother's ashes, a cross-country journey, and a police officer who surely told the story of his run-in with our 17-year-old protagonist for years to come. Thanks to Polly for letting us put this story into the world.

You can reach out anytime at trashydivorces@gmail.com, and maybe we'll make Listener Letters an occasional thing again!

10 Trashy Breakups: Pillowtalk | Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 05:01:00 -0000

So many of our stories involve venerable figures who've been famous for decades, but it turns out that the baby Millennials and elder Gen Zs are just as busy making terrible decisions as the rest of us! This week's Trashy Breakups subjects are model Gigi Hadid and singer Zayn Malik, both still in their 20s, who had a sometimes tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship for five or six years that ended with criminal charges and a sentence of almost a year of probation.

There's husband Kody, wife Meri, wife Janelle, wife Christine, and wife Robyn, plus the 18 children they share! It's an atypical family, to be sure, but since 2010, millions of viewers have followed the ups and downs and transitions of the family. Most recently, Christine, once the third wife, has moved on, and we're wondering if it isn't the first of several Trashy Breakups for Kody Brown.

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 05:01:00 -0000

Alicia pulls a spiderweb she discovered on another of her podcasts, Done & Dunne, about perhaps the reigning champion of divorce, socialite Barbara 'Bobo' Sears Rockefeller. When Bobo died at 91 in 2008, the New York Sun remembered her with this headline: "Bobo Rockefeller, 91, Married Well, Divorced Better." An ex-wife of both a Sears and a Rockefeller, she was a prominent personality in the 1950s when she had both a well-publicized "Cinderella Wedding" to Standard Oil heir Winthrop Rockefeller, and a Divorce of the Century from him two years later.

Actor Harry Hamlin and his wife, actress Lisa Rinna, seem to delight in public rehashings of the ancient history of his two divorces, to the apparent chagrin of his exes. Actor Robert De Niro would probably prefer to see the prying industrial complex pushed off a cliff, but in his recent divorce from Grace Hightower, there was nothing he could do to keep private eyes from watching him.

The architect Stanford White (1853-1906) is credited with a host of landmark structures in New York City and beyond, but it was his sexual predation of young girls, especially the model Evelyn Nesbit, that led to his shockingly public murder and the 1907 "Trial of the Century" in its aftermath. Society figures, sexual secrets, professional jealousies, and courtroom dramas: if only Dominick Dunne had owned a time machine!

S12E10: Angel of the Morning | Kate Winslet & Carole Lombard

Sun, 12 Dec 2021 05:01:00 -0000

We've got two mega-talented, but not particularly trashy, women for you this week. First up, Stacie has actress Kate Winslet's two splits and her apparently very happy marriage to a man with an exceptionally good name. Then, Alicia has the love story of Hollywood legends Carole Lombard and Clark Gable, who were parted by tragedy, not divorce.

10 Trashy Breakups | Hot Goss with Fortune Feimster

Wed, 08 Dec 2021 05:01:00 -0000

Today we're changing up for the format so we can talk to one of our favorite comedians, Fortune Feimster. Fortune was all set for a huge 2020 - her Netflix special Sweet & Salty was released that January, with an extensive tour to follow - when of course, the world closed down for a year and a half. Now, she's making up for lost time with a brand new set and months and months of tour dates to follow.

See Fortune live in Augusta, Georgia, on Friday, December 10, at the Miller Theater. See Fortune live in Atlanta on Saturday and Sunday, December 11 and 12, at Center Stage Theater. Find out when she's coming to a town near you (and she almost certainly is).

09 Trashy Breakups: L'Ame Des Poetes | Gene Tierney and John F. Kennedy

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 05:01:00 -0000

Before sweeping Jacqueline Bouvier off her feet, a young and confident Navy man met Hollywood stunner Gene Tierney on a visit to the set of the film she was shooting in 1946. They were both enthralled, but Gene was just finishing her divorce from fashion designer Oleg Cassini, and John F. Kennedy, began the romance with two strikes against it: his Roman Catholic family, which would never approve of him marrying a divorcee, and his laser focus on being elected president one day.

07 Trashy Breakups: Call It a Loan | Jake Gyllenhaal

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 05:01:00 -0000

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is having some kind of week. Not only did his pop star ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift, re-release the album documenting their ill-fated romance, but she also made a short film about it all, and released a second song and video that sent Swifties to their keyboards to demand a decade old scarf. We talk about some of Jake's other relationships, including romances with Kirstin Dunst and Reese Witherspoon, and then marvel at the audacity of rehashing a decade-old breakup.

Introducing Power: Hugh Hefner

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 16:57:40 -0000

Power: Hugh Hefner is the follow-up to the show’s smash-hit premiere season, Power: The Maxwells. In its second season, Power is examining the rise of Playboy and the legacy of its founder.

The pool at the mansion photographed well, but can you imagine actually being in the water? How much of man-boy culture is Playboy responsible for? How influential was Hefner in sexualizing under-age girls? How did the veneer and brand he created excuse and overlook the abuse that occurred on his compound?

It’s time to look at the power of the man in the smoking jacket.

Hosted by Amy Rose Spiegel of VICE, Power: Hugh Hefner centers the women of Playboy – the bunnies, the centerfolds, the executives – and utilizes a feminist lens to critique the playboy lifestyle that the magazine championed.

Power: Hugh Hefner is available now wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes drop every Monday.

Wed, 06 Oct 2021 04:01:00 -0000

Welcome to Season 12! After the wild ride of our last season, we found that we still had a lot of questions about some of the people we profiled. To help answer them, or maybe just ask better questions, we turned to our friends Alexa and Nicole of the podcast Legally Judgy! Two pop culture-obsessed attorneys with a kickin' podcast, they helped us judge trashy stories like the Taylor Swift-Scooter Braun feud, the on-again, off-again divorce of Kanye and Kim, whether Britney will ever be free, and just what the heck is going on with Tom Girardi and Erika Jayne.

07 Trashy Breakups: Stitched Up | John Mayer

Wed, 18 Aug 2021 04:01:00 -0000

It was only a matter of time before Alicia would turn her spreadsheet-making skills to the life and times of musician John Mayer. The list of his relationships - real and perhaps imagined - is long enough that one would be forgiven for wondering whether there are any prominent women left for him to date. Fair warning, this one is a little explicit.

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 16:14:17 -0000

Paolo is a smart and handsome surgeon, renowned for his ability to perform surgeries that transform his patients’ lives. When television producer Benita covers him for a story, he’ll transform her life too, but not in the ways she expects.

And halfway around the world, four doctors at a prestigious medical institute make shocking discoveries of their own that call everything into question. From Wondery comes Season Three of the hit podcast, Dr. Death. MIRACLE MAN tells the story of a globe-trotting surgeon who seduces the medical world, and sweeps one woman off her feet. Hosted by Laura Beil.

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 04:01:00 -0000

Back in 1995, singer-songwriter Alanis Morisette let it all hang out in one of the grittiest, angriest breakup songs ever recorded, You Oughta Know. The specific subject of the song - and whether it was even one guy or some kind of composite of breakups - has long been rumored to be Full House's Uncle Joey, comic actor Dave Coulier.

In our introductory Trashy Breakups, Alicia has all the dirty details, including the strange-but-not-true story of an online hoax claiming that TLC's 1999 smash No Scrubs was also inspired by Dave Coulier.

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 04:00:00 -0000

As we get our TDHQ2 studio dialed in, we're bringing you a few of our favorite things! First up, Alicia has the true crime tale of "The Ice Cream Blonde" and "Hot Toddy," actress and businesswoman Thelma Todd. Her mysterious 1935 death put a harsh light on some of Hollywood's mobsters and shakers.

Then Stacie has a political sex scandal so amazing that it took almost a century for the full contours to be revealed. Warren G. Harding wasn't just America's 29th president; he was also an inveterate skirt chaser and, thankfully, a prolific and wide open letter writer. He may also have had a goofy name for his manly appendage.

08 Trashy Royals: Lady Jane Grey, The Nine Days' Queen

Sun, 30 May 2021 07:00:00 -0000

Hello friends! We're having a slight schedule change this week and bringing you Trashy Royals today, and our normally scheduled Trashy Divorces episode on Wednesday*. This week, Alicia has the incredible story of Lady Jane Grey, England's Nine Days' Queen, who got caught in the succession rigmarole that characterized the decade between Henry VIII's death in 1547 and the ascension of Elizabeth I in 1558. This one features sickly King Edward VI, future Queen "Bloody" Mary I, and a host of political machinations that can only come from the gangland-style family intrigue we've come to know and love in the Court of the Tudors.

We'll be back Wednesday with your regularly scheduled Trashy Divorces, and then back to the usual release schedule from there.

*As you'll hear in the intro, we're mid-move and still working on sound treating our new recording room. In the interest of audio quality, we thought something recorded at the old space would be a nicer listen.

This week on Trashy Royals, we hop on our broomsticks and fly back to the heady days when men were men and a mildly inconvenient storm at sea could prompt a monarch to burn a bunch of his subjects at the stake! That's right: It's King James VI (of Scotland) and James I (of England and Ireland) time! This guy was obsessed with witchcraft and witches, sending a sickening number of innocents to be burned at the stake or hanged from the gallows, usually for the simple crime of being a woman.

And then we meet again a young Prince Charles, the longest serving Prince of Wales, and learn how the pattern established by his great-great-grandfather led to a wild love triangle, an awful lot of heartache, and eventually, an unexpected marriage.

Author Terry McMillan broke all the rules by marrying a much younger man, and when he later came out as gay, her anger was almost all-consuming. Stacie has a couple who really underperformed in the trash department, but the sweet aftermath of the divorce of actress Anna Faris and Guardian of the Galaxy Chris Pratt seemed like a nice note to end the season on.

Then, Alicia has perhaps the perfect distillation of Truman Capote’s Swans, the actress and author Carol Saroyan Matthau, who may be the most direct inspiration for Capote’s Holly Golightly character in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

It's been a tough few... years, so this week we thought it might be nice to dive into the private lives of one of TV's oddest and most delightful (non-romantic) couples: Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart. Snoop is a hip hop legend and icon, as well as an enthusiastic booster of cannabis, while Martha Stewart literally wrote the book on suburban domestic beauty and tranquility. Alicia has the not-divorce of Snoop Dogg, while Stacie has some pretty hefty rumors about what things were like in the long marriage of Martha and Andy Stewart.

S8E13: Crazy | Patsy Cline & Willie Nelson

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

It’s the finale for Season 8, the end of our second year making Trashy Divorces, and of course, we’re wrapping up this abysmal year of 2020 with two Heroes of Trash Candy. It’s Trash Panda Idol week!

First up, Stacie has the legendary singer Patsy Cline, whose two tumultuous marriages punctuated a life short but breathtakingly large. Country music’s first female superstar and crossover success, Patsy’s death at the age of 30 belied the enormity of her contributions to American culture, including turning the Willie Nelson-written song “Crazy” into a hit.

Then, Alicia has that long-ago Crazy songwriter, the iconic Willie Nelson. Willie may have had three divorces and some side romps along the way, but we have yet to encounter a subject who is so at peace with the Trash Candy he’s bequeathed to the world, nor as generous to those he may have hurt along the way.

S8E12: Superman | Gouverneur Morris & George Reeves

Sun, 13 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Get ready for a couple of truly wild rides! First up, Stacie has some hilarious tea on one of America’s lesser-known Founders, Gouverneur Morris. He didn’t just copy edit the US Constitution; he was also such a ladies man that after an accident required the amputation of one of his legs, fellow Founder John Jay expressed that he wished Morris “had lost something else.” Then, Alicia has an old Hollywood tale featuring seduction, mob ties, and ultimately, the suspicious death of Hollywood’s first Superman, TV’s George Reeves.

S8E11: Ring of Fire | Vivian Liberto, Johnny Cash, and June Carter & Paula Yates, Bob Geldof, and Michael Hutchence

Sun, 06 Dec 2020 08:00:00 -0000

If two is company, this week we’re taking a look at some very trashy crowds. It’s love triangle week! First up, Alicia introduces us to the first wife of country legend Johnny Cash. He courted Vivian Liberto in thousands of pages of letters while deployed to West Germany, but after a dozen years together, it was June Carter who won his heart for good. Then, Stacie recalls the shockingly public and profoundly tragic love triangle of TV presenter Paula Yates, who left musician and organizer Bob Geldof for doomed rock star Michael Hutchence, and ultimately lost her own life along the way.

American Woman: Gibson Girl | Evelyn Nesbit (Patreon Bonus!)

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 18:34:00 -0000

Tuesdays in December on Patreon, Alicia is taking us on a journey through the iconic archetypes that have defined femininity across the decades. This week's American Woman is the "Gibson Girl," created by artist Charles Dana Gibson, and typified by Evelyn Nesbit, perhaps the first modern Supermodel.

The Gibson Girl was the idealized portrait of modern womanhood at the dawn of the 20th century, but Evelyn Nesbit's story was shockingly real, featuring the manipulations of two powerful older men, an unwelcome role in "the crime of the century," and at long last, a measure of peace in her later years in California.

Alicia starts us off with one of the real creative heroes of our age, songwriter and legend Carole King, whose marriage and professional partnership to lyricist Gerry Goffin produced some of the most iconic songs of the 1960s. Their divorce was only the beginning of her long and successful career in music.

Then, Stacie takes us to a much darker place with the story of disgraced TV anchor Matt Lauer, whose workplace misbehavior destroyed his career and his marriage. Content warning: This includes some pretty disturbing allegations of sexual violence, and we’re not mad if you’re not up for it.

S6E11: Let Love Rule | Jane Fonda’s Three Divorces & The Happily Ever After of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz

Sun, 14 Jun 2020 07:00:00 -0000

We’re going a little off-brand this week with a few not-trashy divorces, plus one that kind of was. First up, Alicia has the three marriages and divorces of Jane Fonda. It was her 1973 split from filmmaker Roger Vadim that had a lot of trash, but after closing things out with third husband Ted Turner, she decided she was ready for a few decades of me-time.

Then, Stacie has the story of America’s coolest blended family: Lisa Bonet, her ex-husband Lenny Kravitz, and her husband Jason Momoa. While the Bonet-Kravitz marriage only lasted a few years, their post-divorce affection for each other continues to inspire.

S6E10: Blame It On Me | Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck & Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott

Sun, 07 Jun 2020 07:00:00 -0000

It’s been a big week, so we’ve got some epic trash candy for you. First up, Stacie has the sticky marriage and divorce of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. Then, Alicia flips the script to dive deep into the trashiest marriage around, and the two divorces that paved the way for Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott to get together.

S6E9: Monster Mash | Sunny and Claus von Bulow & Alexander Hamilton’s Maybe-Affair with Mariah Reynolds

Sun, 31 May 2020 07:00:00 -0000

This week, our intrepid podcasters decided to take a little break to celebrate Stacie’s birthday. Please enjoy some blasts from the Patreon past with Alicia’s telling of the trashy maybe-murder of socialite Sunny von Bulow. Her husband Claus was convicted of the act, but a protracted legal battle ultimately saw him acquitted.

Then, Stacie shares a revisionist take on the infamous sex scandal – or was it? – that ruined Founding Father Alexander Hamilton’s career in politics.

S6E8: Can’t Help Falling In Love | Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee & Lisa Marie Presley

Sun, 24 May 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Sometimes a Trashy Divorce story is just a gateway to something much more delightfully awful! This week, Stacie has the trashy marriage and divorce (and on and on) of actress and model Pamela Anderson and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. But also: there’s a heist, some yak fur, a sex tape, and biker gangs terrorizing the porn industry! Seriously, this one goes places.

Then, Alicia has the four loves and losses of Lisa Marie Presley. After a quickie divorce from her first marriage so she could wed Michael Jackson, and then a quickie marriage to Nicolas Cage, her first ex-husband is still one of her closest friends, and even played best man in her fourth wedding.

S6E7: Shellshock | Margaret Tudor & Amber Heard and Johnny Depp

Sun, 17 May 2020 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we get up close and personal with Henry VIII’s sister, and deep dive into a very trashy listener request! Alicia has the three marriages of Margaret Tudor: daughter of Henry VII, one-time Queen of Scotland, legitimate Catholic divorcee, and mother of Scotland’s James V. Margaret’s story scandalized Christendom, at least until her brother lost his freaking mind.

Speaking of dudes losing their minds, Stacie has the very not-funny story of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. Their brief marriage ended in 2016 in a flurry of monstrous abuse allegations against Johnny Depp, and their continuing legal feud has only made the story uglier. Honestly, we’re a little worried about everyone in this story.

S6E6: World Leader Pretend | Boris Johnson & Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

Sun, 10 May 2020 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we’re putting a philandering British Prime Minister and a scion of Hollywood royalty under the Trashy Divorces microscope. Stacie has all the deets on Boris Johnson, a man who won’t say how many children he’s fathered, but has certainly mastered the art of failing upwards. Then, Alicia takes us back to the Golden Age of Hollywood for the first marriage and divorce of diva and screen legend Joan Crawford, to Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.

S6E5: The Man | Billie Jean King & Victoria Woodhull

Sun, 03 May 2020 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we’re taking a look at a couple of American originals. Tennis legend Billie Jean King married her best friend Larry when they were a couple of lovestruck kids bonding over a tennis net. Alicia has the decidedly not trashy story of how Billie Jean came to terms with her sexuality, and how Larry supported her every step of the way. Though divorced, the pair remain permanent friends.

Then Stacie hops on the Trashy Divorces time machine to take us back to the 19th century with the bonzo story of Victoria Woodhull, America’s first female presidential candidate. Was she the most successful con artist of her day, or a medium and social reformer driven by her strong ideals? Honestly, we don’t have any idea.

Related: Here’s the Henry Ward Beecher story on Patreon (paywall-free) that first got Stacie onto Victoria Woodhull.

S6E4: Cabaret | Countess Luann de Lesseps & Cary Grant

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0000

As the musical Cabaret says, “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come to the Cabaret!” This week, we have the stories of two people inhabiting a role: Luann de Lesseps, the Countess of Real Housewives of New York, and legendary actor and all around dapper fella Cary Grant. Stacie has the trashy Housewives tale of a young American who married into, and then divorced out of, European nobility, while Alicia spills some tea about Archibald Leach, who left England to reinvent himself in New York, and then conquered Hollywood as Cary Grant.

Sun, 19 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0000

This week, Alicia has the story of Maurizio and Patrizia Gucci, whose high profile divorce led to the murder that shocked the fashion world. Then, Stacie has the long, low-key love and never-completed divorce of rocker Ric Ocasek and supermodel Paulina Porizkova.

S6E2: My Heart Will Go On | James Cameron and Linda Hamilton & John Lennon and Cynthia Lennon

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0000

It’s listener request time! This week, Stacie covers filmmaker James Cameron, who spent much of his adult life engaging in something like serial monogamy and abusing the heck out of his subordinates. When he wasn’t making actors pee in wetsuits, he was marrying and divorcing in quick succession, most notably to Terminator actress Linda Hamilton. Then, Alicia puts some realism into the man, the myth, the legend, John Lennon. Turns out that the voice of a generation was pretty awful in his first marital go-round.

S6E1: Eye of the Tiger | Frank Lloyd Wright & Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren

Sun, 05 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we take a look at two pretty singular individuals who might have been better off staying single. First up, Alicia has the shockingly trashy story of American architectural master Frank Lloyd Wright. This one really has everything: tons of dirtbag behavior, horrific true crime, and another one of those “great men” whose personal lives are garbage.

In a similar vein, Stacie remembers the 2009 cheating scandal that temporarily swamped golf legend-in-his-own-time Tiger Woods. No, he wasn’t cheating at golf. He was cheating on his wife, with basically every woman he’d ever met. Once the news broke, wife Elin Nordegren may or may not have taken out her rage with a golf club to their Cadillac Escalade.

I Love Trash (Bonus)

Sun, 29 Mar 2020 07:00:00 -0000

We’re off this week, but wanted to check in with thanks, trashcandy, and some ideas that might help you disconnect from all the anxiety.

Check out our catalog of Patreon stories pulled from the paywall, for your listening enjoyment: bit.ly/trashcandyquarantine

Stacie recommends Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague, by Geraldine Brooks. It’s based on the true story of an English village that, back in 1666, way before anyone understood viruses, self-quarantined after plague broke out in the community. Fair warning, this is not light reading, so use your judgment.

Alicia, much more wisely, recommends Unlocking Us, the new podcast by OG shero Brene Brown. This is probably a more soothing option than Stacie’s weird book recommendation.

Then, we drop a few hints about Season 6, which begins next Sunday, April 5. Thanks so much for being part of the Trashy Divorces community. Stay safe, keep it trashy, and we’ll talk next week!

S5E12: They Can’t Take That Away From Me | Anna Nicole Smith & Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner

Sun, 22 Mar 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Welcome to the end of Season 5 and another host’s choice edition of Trashy Divorces! Stacie has the surprising and sad tale of model Anna Nicole Smith, whose Playboy notoriety, marriage to a billionaire octogenarian, and sometimes inexplicable life choices made her catnip to the tabloids and someone who was relatable to millions when she died.

Then Alicia has the story of Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner. They divorced, but found a way to put it all back together again – at least until Natalie’s untimely death at the age of 43.

S5E11: Over the Rainbow | Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney & Judy Garland’s Tragic Loves

Sun, 15 Mar 2020 07:00:00 -0000

It’s all Judy Garland, all the time! This week, Stacie kicks us off with the mysterious and incredibly brief marriage between actress Renee Zellweger (who just won Best Actress for Judy) and country star Kenny Chesney. They tied the knot after knowing each other just five months, and when Renee filed to annul the marriage for “fraud” four months later, the media turned an ugly eye to Kenny.

Then, Alicia has the heartbreaking story of Trashy Divorces All-Star Judy Garland, whose five marriages and four divorces were probably a predictable outcome of the horrifying ways she was mistreated as a child.

S5E10: You Make Me Feel So Young | Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra & Larry King’s Many, Many Divorces

Sun, 08 Mar 2020 07:00:00 -0000

The Mia Farrow-Frank Sinatra marriage and divorce is a story with surprising right-now resonance. Alicia shares the tale of how a very young Mia Farrow met and fell in love with Frank, who was expecting a very different kind of wife than he got. There’s also a cat.

Then, Stacie brings us the story of another Trashy Divorces All-Star, Larry King, whose seven wives, eight marriages, and, now, eight divorces make him a real contender for some kind of themed prize we’re planning on inventing at some point.

Then, Alicia brings us the story of a genuine Trashy Divorces All Star: Zsa Zsa Gabor, and her eight to ten (?) husbands. Some are more notable than others, but all are part of the Zsa Zsa mystique.

Sun, 23 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Welcome back! Have you ever wondered how the men of the Rat Pack developed their sense of style? In our eighth episode of Ocean’s Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra, Alicia shares the strange but true life story of international man of mystery, James Bond inspiration, and husband to two American heiresses (among a few other women) Porfirio Rubirosa, the most famous person you’ve probably never heard of.

S5E7: Strangers In The Night | Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan & Diahann Carroll

Sun, 16 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Sinatra was a big booster for Ronald Reagan as California governor, part of Sinatra’s own shift from Democratic to Republican politics. This week in our Ocean’s Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra season, Stacie has the 1940-1949 marriage and divorce of Academy Award winning actress Jane Wyman and future president Ronald Reagan. Then, Alicia has the incredible life and loves of icon and trailblazer Diahann Carroll, a friend and frequent performing partner of the Rat Pack.

Sun, 09 Feb 2020 08:00:00 -0000

S5E4: Swinging on a Star | Patricia Kennedy Lawford and Peter Lawford & Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0000

You can’t talk Sinatra without eventually talking about some Kennedy trash, so in week four of Ocean's Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra, Alicia brings us the first ever Kennedy divorce. Patricia Kennedy Lawford, sister to JFK, RFK, and Ted, married Hollywood heartthrob Peter Lawford and probably expected he'd settle down. He did not, and after years of putting up with his addictions and affairs, she divorced him in 1966.

Then, Stacie has Kennedy Divorces: The Next Generation, with the extremely trashy behavior of bodybuilder, actor, and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, before and during his 25-year-long marriage to Maria Shriver, niece of JFK, RFK, Ted, and Patricia. Did you stock up on soap? You may want to run to the store, because you're going to feel dirty after this one.

S5E3: In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning | Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra & Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner’s Work Divorce

Sun, 19 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0000

Alicia’s been tangling the web, but you may not be ready for the trashy affair, marriage, affairs, and divorce of Frank Sinatra and his second wife, movie legend Ava Gardner. It’s our third installment of Ocean’s 11: Twelve Degrees of Frank Sinatra, and this one’s got all the #trashcandy.

Then, it’s Dolly Parton’s birthday today, and to honor the queen of our hearts, we get into the start of her career, when country superstar Porter Wagoner plucked her from obscurity to be his “Girl Singer.” Seven years later, her split from him drove him off the stage and into a courtroom, but Dolly would always love him anyway.

S5E2: One For My Baby (and One More For The Road) | Johnny Carson & Mickey Rooney and Ava Gardner and Artie Shaw

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 08:00:00 -0000

For our second dive into the Ocean's Eleven: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra season, Stacie has the Rat Pack-adjacent comedian and original King of Late Night, Johnny Carson. He was a private person who was possibly America's most beloved and public figure for three decades. His three divorces – and final, apparently happy marriage, reveal the split-screen that was his life.

Then, Alicia has the tragic early years of Ava Gardner: her rural North Carolina upbringing, her discovery by the MGM star machine, and her first marriages, to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw. It's all prelude to her final, tumultuous marriage to Sinatra, which is coming up later this season.

S5E1: Love and Marriage | Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sr. & Charles Dickens, Victorian Trashbag

Sun, 05 Jan 2020 19:04:00 -0000

It’s the #trashpack, y'all! For our fifth season launch, Alicia is deep-diving into Frank Sinatra’s trashy life and loves. This week we kick off with Ol’ Blue Eyes’s first marriage and divorce to Nancy Barbato; Nancy Senior, if you will. Are you ready for "Ocean’s 11: 12 Degrees of Frank Sinatra?"

Then, Stacie has the surprisingly trashy tale of Charles Dickens's public abandonment of his wife of 22 years and the secret, 13-year-long affair that he conducted with a young actress throughout the rest of his life. Turns out that so-called "Great Men" only hold up if their followers are willing to keep their secrets.

S4E11: Bizarre Love Triangle | The Original Staircase Murder

Sun, 08 Dec 2019 08:00:00 -0000

We’re hopping into our time machine and heading back to merry olde England, circa 1560, to take a look at the original Staircase Murder. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Bess held the affection of many men, but pony boy Robert Dudley found his feelings reciprocated. Until his wife Amy Robsart was found dead at the foot of a staircase, that is. An innocent accident, or something much darker? Alicia has all the deets.

S4E9: The Heat Is On | Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin & Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson

Sun, 24 Nov 2019 08:00:00 -0000

Want the deep, dishy dirt on four of Tinseltown’s finest? We got you! First up, Stacie has the almost comically awful divorce and years-long, bi-coastal custody fight between Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin. Then, Alicia has the heartwarming and disturbing story of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, who married and divorced twice, plus a truly horrifying anecdote from Melanie’s Hollywood childhood.

Then, Stacie introduces her new imaginary true crime podcast Squeamish, with the brutal tale of the murder of David Harris by his wife Clara Harris, and the three trashy divorces that got them to that point.

S4E7: Hit Me With Your Best Shot | Hulk Hogan and Linda Bollea & Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth

Sun, 10 Nov 2019 08:00:00 -0000

The genius of professional wrestling in the Vince McMahon era is likely the creation of near mythological characters whose real lives are often rolled up into the unreal world in which they work.

Hulk Hogan was one of the most famous people in America in the 1980s and 1990s, a wholesome brute of a character who admonished his “Hulkamaniac” fans to train, say their prayers, and take their vitamins. The reality was different. His vitamins were anabolic steroids, and his wife Linda believed that he was frequently unfaithful to her. Stacie has all the salacious details of their divorce, his sex tape scandal, and the ongoing legal drama that seems to be a permanent fixture for the former couple.

As comically bad as that was, Alicia has a sadder story still: the real life love between Randy “Macho Man” Savage and Miss Elizabeth, the First Lady of Professional Wrestling.

S4E5: The Tears of a Clown | Richard Pryor & Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold

Sun, 27 Oct 2019 07:00:00 -0000

They say that if you don’t laugh, you’ll have to cry, and that seems very true of our subjects this week. Comedian Richard Pryor revolutionized the art form when he stormed onto the scene in the 1960s. By the end of the decade, he was one of the edgiest and most successful voices in comedy. Alicia documents his five wives, six divorces, and seven marriages – as well as the profoundly difficult childhood he survived but never quite outran.

Then, Stacie has the strange life and career of pathbreaking comedienne Roseanne Barr, whose quick rise from the comedy clubs of Denver to the bright lights of Hollywood inspired a generation to take a stab at stand-up. Her early ’90s romance with comedian Tom Arnold was seemingly designed for the tabloids. Her story is complicated, baffling, and in many ways, sad.

S4E4: You’re My Best Friend | Penny Marshall and Rob Reiner & Carrie Fisher and Paul Simon

Sun, 20 Oct 2019 07:00:00 -0000

A while back, we covered the tumultuous relationship between John McEnroe and Tatum O’Neal and learned something funny: TV legend and record shattering film director Penny Marshall and Hollywood royalty/Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher threw each other a birthday party every year.

This week, we have the not-that-trashy divorces of lifelong best friends Penny Marshall and Carrie Fisher. Stacie has Penny, who was married twice, first to the father of her daughter, and next to fellow TV legend and later film director Rob Reiner. The first lasted three years, the second ten, but it seems that Penny maintained warm ties to both.

Alicia has Carrie, who was in a long relationship with musician Paul Simon that included a brief marriage in the middle. Simon’s song Hearts and Bones documents the end of the relationship, but it sure seems like their love never really died.

S4E3: The Love Cats | The Nine Loves of Pablo Picasso

Sun, 13 Oct 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we have just one story, but it’s kind of a story with everything. Alicia brings us the life and loves of Pablo Picasso, the legendary artist and Certified Problematic Person. He had nine great romances in his life, but unfortunately, he tended to leave the women who’d loved him worse off, sometimes with tragic results.

S4E2: Video | Stephanie March and Bobby Flay & Kate and Jon Gosselin

Sun, 06 Oct 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we have two incredible divorce stories from the entertainment world. First up, Stacie has the 2015 split of celebrity chef Bobby Flay and Law and Order: SVU actress Stephanie March. This divorce is one of the ways that Stacie learned to love divorce stories.

Then Alicia has a reality television couple who were plus eight, until they were minus each other: Kate and Jon Gosselin. Learn about Alicia’s mental construct of “the dude,” and how Jon’s incessant dude-ing made it impossible to be the husband and father his family deserved.

S4E1: Take The Money And Run | Howard Hughes & Jeff Bezos and MacKenzie Bezos

Sun, 29 Sep 2019 07:00:00 -0000

What’s in your wallet? Well, if you’re one of our subjects this week, the answer is piles and piles of money! First up, Alicia has the dirt on a towering figure of the 20th century, Howard Hughes. Hughes was a titan of industry, a Hollywood mogul, an engineer and inventor, a pilot and aircraft designer, and one of the richest people in the world during his flamboyant but ultimately tragic life.

Next, Stacie has the dish on a modern version of the same type of mind: Jeff Bezos, whose 25-year-long marriage to novelist MacKenzie Bezos ended this year. They split a $137 billion fortune and fended off an extortion plot allegedly masterminded by Saudi Arabia. It’s quite the tale.

S4E0: Dirty Details | Your Trashy Divorces

Sun, 22 Sep 2019 07:00:00 -0000

We asked and you answered! This week, we’re getting season four teed up for September 29, but we promised an episode from the mailbag if you sent in your trashy divorce stories.

We were inundated! This episode is just a taste of the amazing stories we’ve loved reading all week. This episode features couples who married too young, a nefarious lawyer, a globe trotting snob, a poorly executed kidnapping plot, a flaming wedding dress, a nanny’s betrayal, a hidden history of armed robbery, and so much more.

We’ve enjoyed this whole thing more than we can say, and we’d love to make Dirty Details a (semi?) regular thing. If you’d like to share your trashy divorce story, drop us a line at trashydivorces@gmail.com.

S3E12: Leaving on a Jet Plane | The 2020 Republican Primary Field & John Denver

Sun, 15 Sep 2019 07:00:00 -0000

We love going a little bit sideways with our season finale episodes! Stacie has the scoop on a weird historical moment we’re in: For the first time ever, an American political party has fielded a presidential primary contest featuring only divorced people. Seriously, this has never happened before and would have been unthinkable until very recently. Now, we’re the only people even mentioning it (it’s kind of our brand). Come meet your 2020 Republican primary field and get the scoop on all their trashbaggery! Let’s give it up for Donald Trump, Bill Weld, Joe Walsh, and Mark Sanford!

Then, Alicia ends her string of podcast no-tears with the story of soothing 1970s crooner and trashbag (it turns out), John Denver. He had two marriages that ended in divorce, and both experiences revealed some disturbing things about the man.

We’re off next week, but we’re asking for your divorce stories! If we get enough, we’ll put together an episode for you featuring listeners’ trashy divorces! Got a trashy divorce in your life? Share the dirt (no real names, please!) at trashydivorces@gmail.com.

S3E11: It’s Not Right But It’s Okay | Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown & Sandra Bullock and Jesse James

Sun, 08 Sep 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we’ve got two of the most beloved performers to have graced us in decades. Alicia’s got the intense story of Whitney Houston, an incredible talent whose path was in many ways set by the agendas of those around her. Her 14-year-long marriage to Bobby Brown was ultimately catastrophic, and her untimely death was tragic beyond words.

In the second half, Stacie leads the first meeting of the Sandra Bullock Fan Club of Trashy Divorces. Sandra’s five-year-long marriage to West Coast Chopper Jesse James blew up spectacularly when his numerous infidelities hit the tabloid press just days after Sandra won her first Oscar.

S3E10: Stars Fell on Alabama | Robert Bentley and Dianne Bentley & America’s Surprise Divorce Capital

Sun, 01 Sep 2019 07:00:00 -0000

Stacie’s had a lot of requests to cover the dirtbaggery that was former Alabama Governor Robert Bentley and the affair that tanked his administration. It turns out it was much more than an extramarital dalliance; it was symbolic of the deep corruption at the heart of Alabama’s government just a few short years ago.

Then, Alicia has a delightful story about a really surprising historical fact about Alabama. We’re pretty sure you’ll be surprised, too.

S3E9: Driver 8 | Eleanor of Aquitaine & The Baker Street Robbery

Sun, 25 Aug 2019 07:00:00 -0000

First, Alicia has the almost unbelievable story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, a 12th century badass who was queen to two European kings and whose genes continue to animate most of the remaining royal houses of the continent. Alicia was deluged with requests for this story, and it does not disappoint.

Then, Stacie has a bizarre tale that sprung from our Werewolves of London episode in season two. The 1971 Baker Street Bank Robbery in London has sometimes been linked to the excesses of Princess Margaret, but there’s reason to think that it may also be tied to the enduring scandal that engulfed the British government in the Profumo Affair.

S3E8: I’m Too Sexy | Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton & Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds

Sun, 18 Aug 2019 07:00:00 -0000

Who’s too sexy for this podcast? Not our subjects this week, widely recognized as two of the Sexiest Men Alive, and their equally jaw-dropping ex-wives. First up, Stacie has country superstars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, and seriously, if you don’t Miranda’s back story, buckle up. It’s amazing.

Then, Alicia brings us the much bleaker story of the six-year-long marriage of 70s/80s heartthrob Burt Reynolds and his wife Loni Anderson. It was the divorce without end, but also, the story of Loni Anderson surviving and thriving after an abusive relationship.

S3E7: Borderline | Sean Penn & Madonna & Guy Ritchie

Sun, 11 Aug 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, it’s one of the most famous Leos of our time, two-time divorcee, and cultural and musical legend: Madonna. First up, Alicia has the story of her short and turbulent 1980s marriage to fellow Leo and Hollywood bad boy Sean Penn. Then, Stacie has the deets on Madonna’s second marriage, to filmmaker Guy Ritchie, and the custody battle that followed with – but not exactly over – their son, Rocco.

Sun, 04 Aug 2019 07:00:00 -0000

It’s Alicia’s birthday week, and in her honor, we’re jumping in to the stories of two hilarious redheads. She’s got the surprisingly affectionate divorce of comedienne Lucille Ball and her amazingly capable, eventual ex-husband Desi Arnaz. Then Stacie explains that D-List icon Kathy Griffin is best understood as one of those 1970s Weeble toys: she may wobble sometimes, but there’s nothing that’s going to knock that woman down.

Sun, 28 Jul 2019 07:00:00 -0000

Today we take a look at some lifestyles of the rich and famous, and their playground, Palm Beach, Florida. Stacie has the incredible story of a 20th century titan, Marjorie Merriweather Post, who was a four-time-divorcee and one-time richest woman in America. Then Alicia brings us the decidedly more laid back lifestyle of Peter Pulitzer and his wife Lilly Pulitzer (nee McKim), who lived an oddball lifestyle among Florida’s orange groves that led Lilly into fashion design.

Sun, 14 Jul 2019 07:00:00 -0000

Are you ready for some TENNIS! In honor of the Wimbledon finals, we’re bringing you two stories of the life and times of tennis legends of our age. First, Stacie has the incredibly trashy story of Tatum O’Neal, the youngest actor to ever win an Academy Award and a bona fide neglected and abused child, and her early marriage to career-focused and self-absorbed John McEnroe. Then, Alicia gives you a five game match on the strange love that bloomed between superstar Brooke Shields and superpower Andre Agassi.

Happy episode day, friends! This week, Alicia tells the sordid tale of Mary, Queen of Scots, who sure knew how to pick ’em. Stacie brings you the trashy divorces of Rupert Murdoch, who might have been better at destroying democracies than making love work. Everybody wants to rule the world, and this week, both of our profilees really, really tried.

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 07:00:00 -0000

Happy Pride, everyone! This week, we kick off season three with two tasty #trashcandy morsels. First up, Stacie has the trashy and short lived marriage of Elton John and Renate Blauel, a German sound engineer that he thought he’d fallen in love with. We sympathize with both of them, but mostly her. Then, Alicia has the incredible true life & love story of Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, who demonstrates a beautiful and Pride-appropriate message that love is love is love…

Turns out we’ve lost that loving feeling for Tom Cruise. From his early, relatively short marriage to Mimi Rogers, who recruited him into Scientology, to the unexplained end of his love match with Nicole Kidman, to Katie Holmes’s Mission: Impossible-style escape from him and Scientology, this week we’ve got as much dirt as we could dig on this legendary, and legendarily weird, star.

Alicia will persuade you to come on over to #teamjen, a goddess of an ex-wife and a hero to all women. Stacie started this whole thing pretty neutral but came away with a pretty clear preference. (Spoiler: It's #teamjen, too.)

Groovy, Baby! This week, we head back to the Swinging 60s (and 50s and 70s) in Olde London Towne. Stacie takes a look at the sex and spying scandal that rocked the UK in 1963, The Profumo Affair, and Alicia spills all the tea about the very trashy marriage and divorce of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon.

Ready for some royalty? No, not that kind – this week we feature the Trashy Divorces of music royalty! Alicia details the First Couple of Country Music, George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Their relationship covered a lot of territory, from a heroic table flip to a double-barreled shotgun, and every other country music trope you can think of. Then Stacie takes us back to Memphis for the story of The King, Elvis Presley, and his (sorta) child bride, Priscilla.

To celebrate Mother’s Day, we decided to cover the Mother of Trashy Divorces – Elizabeth Taylor! And to cover Elizabeth Taylor, we asked our friend Erica Kelley of the Southern Fried True Crime podcast to join us! Elizabeth Taylor was complex: a child star, a hard-drinking beauty, a foul-mouthed sophisticate, a one-take actor, an Oscar winner, a widow, a mother, an activist, and a many-time divorcee. Elizabeth Taylor was singular. Come meet her with us, or get to know her again.

S2E6: Mr. Big Stuff | Australia’s Barnaby Joyce & Martha and John Mitchell

Sun, 05 May 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, Stacie shares a listener suggestion: Barnaby Joyce, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia and, apparently, a trash man on the make. After a career as a family values champion, a 2018 sex scandal known as #barnababy brought a swift end to his 24-year-long marriage and a firm estrangement from his four daughters.

After the break, Alicia has a story she’s been waiting her whole life to tell: Martha Mitchell, wife of Nixon-era Attorney General John Mitchell, and the flawed Cassandra of the Watergate scandal, and, in the memorable words of one listener, “that resourceful little drunk-dialer.”

S2E4: Time In A Bottle | Linda and Harry Macklowe & Marilyn Monroe

Sun, 21 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, we look at very different relationships. Stacie shares the sordid tale of the nearly six-decade-long marriage of New York real estate developer Harry Macklowe and his wife Linda, who recently completed their trashy divorce at the tender ages of 80+. Then, Alicia has all the tea on the three trashy divorces – and deeply sad personal story – of Marilyn Monroe, a timeless icon who married and divorced the likes of Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller.

S2E3: Language or The Kiss | Agatha and Archie Christie & Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein

Sun, 14 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0000

Join us for an exploration of the failed romances that shaped - but certainly didn't break - two pioneering women writers. First, Alicia brings us an enduring mystery from the life of the mother of the genre, Agatha Christie. On Friday, December 3, 1926, the 36-year-old author disappeared without a trace, only be found 11 days later safe and sound in a hotel in Harrogate. What happened during this period has been a point of speculation for nearly a century, and Alicia thinks she's got all the tea for this one.

Then, Stacie brings us closer to current events with the unfortunate tale of the celebrated marriage of writers Nora Ephron and Carl Bernstein. When they wed in 1976, they were considered a power couple. Bernstein had recently been half of the dynamic duo who took down a president, and Ephron was a columnist for Esquire magazine who was reinventing the form for women. They were the life of party in DC and New York, until Bernstein fell for the wife of a foreign ambassador. From this catastrophe, Ephron rebuilt herself and her career, and found lasting greatness.

S2E2: Go Your Own Way | Fleetwood Mac and Carly Simon & James Taylor

Sun, 07 Apr 2019 07:00:00 -0000

This week, pull on something mustard yellow and get your glitter scarves out of the closet: we're taking a trip to the 1970s!

First up, Stacie has the trashy situation that rock superstars Fleetwood Mac found themselves in circa 1977, when the whole band was a roiling mess of heartbreak, infidelity, illicit attraction, and power-pop prowess.

In the second block, Alicia has the heartwrenching story of the marriage of Carly Simon and James Taylor. Though they had two children and spent years together, James's drug addiction eventually made the marriage untenable.

S2E1: Cats in the Cradle | Donald Trump and Donald Trump, Jr.

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 07:00:00 -0000

And we're back! In case you aren't familiar with the subjects of our season two opener, Donald Trump is the son of a real estate millionaire based in Queens, New York. He got into the family business as a young man and made a bit of a name for himself, ultimately becoming a reality TV star. Along the way, he had five children, three weddings, and a couple of trashy divorces. We're not ruling out a third divorce for him, either.

His story is trashy, but it's even trashier when you dive into the life of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. Don Jr. had a startlingly tragic adolescence and has gone on to live deep in the shadow of his father - and somehow decided that the senior Trump's life choices were something to emulate. We don't get it either.

Yes, it’s our week off, but we wanted to share some of the Trashy Tidbits that we put up on Patreon, as well as reveal Stacie’s hard-hitting No-Strology rebuttal to Alicia’s astrological framework. And wouldn’t you know it? No-Strology works pretty well as weird science too. We also update you on some Royals action, Rudy shouting, and preview a trashy octogenarian NYC divorce. See you back next Sunday, March 31, for Season 2!

S1E12: Divorce Song | Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald & 12 E. 82nd Street

Sun, 17 Mar 2019 00:38:00 -0000

For our season one finale – we’re taking one week off and will return March 31 – we wanted to play a little, so we’re telling some stories that might not normally fit into a theme this week. First, Alicia brings us the story of the King and Queen of the Jazz Age, writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda. Though they never actually divorced, the story is a great illustration of the reality that some marriages don’t work, and a lot of people would be better off ending a marriage rather than staying in it.

Stacie follows that up with the story of a Manhattan address that ties together a bunch of Trashy Divorces threads. Its owners have included a previous Trashy Divorces subject, a divorcing couple we’re likely to cover in the future, and a slightly mysterious real estate magnate who will likely reappear.

S1E11: I Got You Babe | Sonny & Cher and Prince Andrew & Sarah Ferguson

Sun, 10 Mar 2019 08:00:00 -0000

This week we bring some soft focus with two divorces that seem to have left everybody – and perhaps the relationship itself – in better shape. First, Stacie tells the weird story of Sonny & Cher, and how Sonny’s unshakable vision of what Cher’s dreams looked like ultimately broke their relationship. Then Alicia shares the tale of England’s Prince Andrew and his lady love – possibly even to this day – Sarah Ferguson. They do seem to have had a spectacularly successful divorce.

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 08:00:00 -0000

This week, we talk musical royalty from the UK and the US. First, Alicia tells us the terribly trashy tale of the love triangle between Beatle George Harrison, his wife, model Pattie Boyd, and guitar legend Eric Clapton. Then, Stacie brings us back across the pond to cover the fascinating but heartbreaking story of Ike and Tina Turner. This one’s tough, but ultimately, Tina Turner escaped and followed her dreams, becoming a role model for badasses everywhere.

Sun, 17 Feb 2019 08:00:00 -0000

Alicia walks us through the very trashy life - and marriages, and divorces - of Scientology founder and apparent boat enthusiast L. Ron Hubbard, and Stacie gives us the play-by-play of the scandal that didn't really change American evangelicalism (but probably should have), PTL Club founders Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker.

Sun, 27 Jan 2019 08:00:00 -0000

This week, we look at two women who got famous – and then got married – way too young. Britney Spears was a pop juggernaut before she was 18 years old. Within a few years, she was desperately lashing out in pursuit of a life she could call her own. Drew Barrymore was born to Hollywood royalty, but was forced to take on life on her own very young. Both found their way into ill-advised marriages that ended with great fanfare.
