In this crossover arc, we explore the fact and the fiction about The Shooting of the Century. It is October 30, 1955 that William Woodward, Jr. was shot to death by his wife Ann. Dunne wrote 1985’s The Two Mrs. Grenvilles as a thinly veiled fictional account of the whole sordid tale, which landed right in the sweet spot of his interest in high society’s perfidy.

The Grimaldi family was considered scandalous enough in Queen Victoria’s time that she forbade any of her close relatives to marry into it, leading Prince Albert I of Monaco to marry an American heiress in 1889 – a precedent that would matter decades later when Prince Rainier III, urged on by none other than shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, began interviewing Hollywood A-listers for a very special role: Princess of Monaco.

The House of Grimaldi has ruled the tiny principality of Monaco since January 8, 1297, when Francois “The Spiteful” Grimaldi disguised himself as a monk and knocked on his uncle’s castle door, launching a coup. In the violence that followed, according to legend, a woman – possibly a lover of Francois, possibly a witch he had wronged (can’t it be both?) – issued a curse that has resonated across the centuries: “Never will a Grimaldi find true happiness in marriage.” Sponsors Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.

Today we get into the truly breathtaking story of Shia LaBeouf, who appears to split his time between being an actor and being a one-man crime wave, as well as (allegedly) a domestic abuser. He and his wife Mia Goth - and the timeline there is pretty wild, too - have recently split, while Shia himself seems to be occupying himself with all manner of poor, even criminal, behavior.

Over the last few years, country music fans have fallen in love with the music and persona of Jelly Roll, a former rapper who spent two decades trying to make his musical dreams come true. And as those dreams materialized, they did it in enormous fashion - while Jelly himself took the opportunity of that success to become smaller and smaller. As his circumstances and outlook have changed, apparently his ten-year marriage to podcast host Bunnie Xo became a casualty of his rise. Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

In 2023, Belle Burden, a granddaughter of Babe Paley, published an essay in the New York Times Modern Love column called, "Was I Married to a Stranger?" It's a question a lot of people ask themselves after a divorce, so the column went very viral and a book deal followed. Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage published in January, and quickly became the must-read book of 2026. It's part processing and part cautionary tale, especially to women, about being active players in their own finances, and clear about their marital finances. Alicia explores the story and some of the pushback it has received. Get your copy: Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage (bookshop.org) Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

We've all heard that money doesn't buy you happiness, and today we have a prime example. John Overdeck, co-founder of one of the world's largest hedge funds, Two Sigma Investments, is worth somewhere between $6B and $10B, but the guy can't get himself out of an increasingly enmeshed series of conflicts. First, there's the feud he has with Two Sigma's co-founder, where each holds about 50% of the company and they stopped speaking years ago. Then, there's John's estranged wife, Laura, who alleges in their divorce that he started squirreling money away in trusts in Wyoming almost twenty years ago to make sure it was out of her reach. Even the guy's girlfriend is filing lawsuits and calling the cops! Sponsors Upgrade your every day! Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com/TRASHY.

We begin a deeper investigation into the scandal that rocked high society in the 1980s, the twice attempted murder of Sunny von Bulow and the subsequent trials of her second husband Claus von Bulow for those crimes. In this first episode, we introduce and get to know the main characters in this story, Martha “Sunny” Sharp Crawford and Claus von Bulow. What happens in their lives before and up to their marriage in 1966? There are so many sticky spiderwebs that might surprise you in this one, including Coco Chanel, Truman Capote, Ann Woodward, and the very first case of murder by insulin poisoning – it really does all come together.

Stacie revealed the details about 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.

Content Warning: While we avoid graphic descriptions of abuse, this story is inherently about the sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking of children and a crew of horrible people who allowed it to play out over decades. It is upsetting, disturbing, and enraging. Listener discretion is encouraged. Alan Dershowitz was a key player in one of the most appalling and long-running miscarriages of justice in generations. In 2005, his friend Jeffrey Epstein learned that he was being investigated by police for sexually abusing young girls. Epstein did what anyone would; he called the most aggressive lawyer he could think of. Alan spent the next several years smearing victims, strong-arming prosecutors, and possibly cooperating with an intense harassment and intimidation campaign against investigators. And it paid off; Alan's hard work meant that his friend Jeff could continue abusing girls for nearly 15 more years, but Alan also found himself in the crosshairs when Epstein's victims began to come forward.

Alan Dershowitz is in many ways the sort of person that Alicia would describe as a spider in the spiderwebs we indulge in. He's represented Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson, and OJ Simpson - all three TD alums - and has also managed across his career to push boundaries when it comes to legal ethics and attacks on opponents. Unfortunately, Alan's first wife learned what it's like to be against him in a courtroom when they divorced in the mid-1970s, and it was brutal.

In the conclusion of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we travel through the years 1936 to the end of her life in 1971, and a little beyond too. With the passing of time, more has come to light about Coco’s affair with a German spy, and her associated work with the Nazis through WW2. Surprisingly, there are no real consequences ultimately from this time, and after laying low for a while, Coco has a whole second act and comeback in the United States. She is a lady with a complicated life and a complicated legacy. Sponsors Upgrade your every day! Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com/TRASHY.

In this continuation of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we take the legendary designer through the Roaring 20s to the mid-1930s. This was an action-packed time in her life, including even more expansion into a fragrance line, an entrée into London high society, a few high-profile love affairs, two bad business deals, and a love nest in Scotland as well. Ride along for this decade plus in her life, possibly the best one as the shadows of war are creeping in for our finale, in which Coco will do a little bit more than dabble into fascism.

Let's drill down on what's happening in the legal machinations between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen. First of all, their long-suffering judge has appointed a Guardian Ad Litem to represent the interests of their child - and Dakota spent weeks not paying his share of that bill. Dakota also has new legal representation: the same lawyer used by Tate Paul, Taylor's ex-husband, as he seeks custody of their two kids. All in all, not at all a comfortable situation for Taylor.

Alicia - at the prompting of a listener - started to deep dive into Andrew and Sarah's adult daughters when she learned that an old boyfriend of Sarah's, who has also been an ally and patron over the decades, has died at the age of 88. Paddy McNally and Sarah dated for a few years beginning when she was 20 and he was 42. He also amassed a fortune of $800 million or so, and Royal watchers suspect that he intended to keep on taking care of Sarah Ferguson.

Trash Pandas, there are a lot of ways to leave the world, but we don't recommend the way that American founding father Gouverneur Morris did it. In this 2020 encore for America's 250th birthday, we celebrate one of the forgotten men of the country's origin. His story is trashy enough that you wonder whether Benjamin Franklin occupying the "questionable morals in a founder" spot edged him out. Still, he was a significant figure in his time, a statesman, diplomat, and Penman of the Constitution. Happy Independence Day, everybody!

In this holiday episode, we go all the way back to 2020 to celebrate a true American, and maybe the OG Trash Panda, 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.

It is with no joy that Stacie reports on the public corruption catastrophe that is one Ken Paxton, current attorney general of Texas and possibly the next Senator from the Lone Star State. On the other hand, are there two people in the world who deserve each other more than Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz? We don't think so. At least Ken's wife finally bought a couple of vowels and got o-u-t.

And finally, at least for now, we get into a bit of redemption for Taylor Frankie Paul. During a Zoom court appearance on June 1, it became pretty clear pretty fast that Taylor - and her lawyer - are genuinely grappling with what has happened and what is to come. Meanwhile, Dakota and his lawyer got busy misrepresenting an earlier ruling by the judge presiding over the hearing - and shockingly wrote off Dakota's role in the domestic violence incidents as "self-defense that didn't count as self-defense." The judge was none too pleased, and Taylor's custody situation is gradually being eased back to shared custody. 3 Million Butts Love TUSHY.

Since our extensive coverage of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul all the way back in... last month, much has happened! Taylor and her ex-boyfriend/baby daddy Dakota Mortensen have finally been before a judge in their custody dispute. Remember that Dakota was initially awarded custody in April, with Taylor limited to supervised visitation with their 2-year-old child. Well, things seem to be changing - including Taylor, whose journey toward self-awareness continues to be non-linear and include detours to lash out at critics/friends, but seems to be a journey toward self-awareness all the same. This episode is a special 1 of 2 for Sunday. We'll be back Wednesday with plenty of trash, but blessedly no reality TV stars (we think. We're pretty sure.). Sponsors 3 Million Butts Love TUSHY.

After the death of Edwina Mountbatten in 1960, Dickie still had another 19 years of living to do, and while he was single, he was in no way alone. He had romances with plenty of women in his later years, and according to many, he had male lovers - including, it is alleged, boys - as well. A mentor to Prince Charles, his advice to the young man may have contributed to what turned into the tragic marriage, divorce, and untimely death of Princess Diana, who was exactly the sort of woman that Dickie encouraged the playboy prince to settle down with. The men remained close through the end of Dickie's life, and Charles delivered the eulogy at both of Dickie's services in 1979. Dickie was clearly a charming older man who counted Shirley MacClaine, Barbara Cartland, Christina Ford, and Sacha Hamilton, Duchess of Abercorn, who was also his god daughter, among his paramours. Let's say it was all pretty complicated, but that would only be keeping with rest of his and Edwina's history. Sponsors 3 Million Butts Love TUSHY.

As Edwina took pains to lay low in Malta after the scandals of her affairs, Italy decided to exit the League of Nations and invade Ethiopia. To protect their children, she took them to Budapest and installed them in a hotel with their nanny and governess... and then forgot which hotel they were in. For months. As the summer of 1935 turned to fall, and then winter, they just stayed in their hotel until Edwina finally came across the paper she'd written the hotel's name on, tucked into the pocket of an outfit she hadn't worn in a while. Careless people. But then World War II came, and with so much asked of ordinary Britons, the privileged were required to step up. For perhaps the first time in her life, the skills and networking that Edwina had spent her life developing could suddenly be applied to a grand purpose: fundraising, organizing, lobbying for help in the United States. Louis was in the fight as a Naval officer, but Edwina was equally engaged, and the experience brought them together as never before. They would have further adventures together in India, overseeing the end of the Colonial period there, and form a distinct attachment to Indian Prime Minister Nehru that would last to the end of her life in 1960.

Programming note: This episode is a bit more explicit than most, including strong language and descriptions of sex. If you listen with wee ones, use your judgment. The early '30s were a roaring time for Edwina's various romances, though two in particular would have far-reaching implications for her lovers. The first, with American actor Paul Robeson, caused scandal in the London tabloids because Robeson was Black. The Royal Family considered the situation dire enough that they demanded that Louis and Edwina sue the tabloid that wrote it about for libel, and saw to it that the court would handle the case... carefully. An early morning hearing, of which no notice was given to anyone but the Mountbattens, resulted in a quick ruling in Edwina's favor, though the couple notably did not ask for damages. Paul Robeson himself was apparently quite wounded by the whole incident, having been close to Edwina and left to deal with the fallout on his own. The second notable affair was with Leslie "Hutch" Hutchinson, a Grenada-born musician whom Edwina had met in New York City. She encouraged him to bring his talents to England, where he became a bona fide star of the 1920s and '30s, entertaining royals and society patrons, and his work gained national prominence with frequent airings on the BBC. During his dalliance with Edwina, there are rumors that the two became "stuck" in flagrante delicto, requiring transportation by ambulance in the pose that was causing them troubles. Louis was outraged especially by Edwina's affair with Hutch, and as the scandal grew, Hutch found that his royal and society patrons had abandoned him. In spite of his celebrity, the Mountbattens appear to have had a role in his near erasure from history. It's all reminiscent of Fitzgerald's line in Gatsby: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

As the Roaring '20s turned into the '30s, Edwina's appetite for other lovers showed no sign of diminishing, and eventually led to a breaking point with her long-suffering husband, Louis. At one point, they decided that divorce was the best option, but quickly reconciled with new rules for their relationship: Edwina would be more discreet in her dalliances, which had previously been headline news, and Louis would be free to take lovers of his own. But a funny thing happened when he finally did - Edwina was jealous! Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

It didn't take long for Edwina, young, rich, and alone while her husband Louis was away with the Navy, to begin flirtations and then affairs with various suitors. There were the young men of her social strata, to be sure, but there was also a scandalous rumored fling with the notably female American entertainer Sophie Tucker, "The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas." These affairs took a toll on her marriage and her relations with the British Royal Family, but also laid the template for the Mountbatten marriage.

While Louis and Edwina Mountbatten would have a 38-year-long marriage, it isn't quite right to say it was a happy union. That first six months or so though - when they traveled through Europe and the United States, meeting Charlie Chaplin, Cecil B. DeMille, and dining with President Warren G. Harding - was a magical time for the couple. Once they returned to England and settled into married life, things quickly went sideways. With Louis frequently at sea for long periods as a Naval officer, and Edwina living large on her huge pile of inherited money, perhaps they were destined to have an unusually promiscuous marriage.

As many will already know, it was the youngest child of Prince Louis of Battenberg and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine who would become a prominent figure in the lives of the modern world of the Windsors. Young Louis Battenberg, later Louis Mountbatten, was known as Dickie to his confidants, and was stung early when his father, First Sea Lord of the British Navy, was removed from his post at the outbreak of WWI because of his German origins. The episode would motivate his son to excel in a Naval career to reclaim the title, and the then-Mountbattens' familial closeness with the House of Windsor would give him an avenue to real political power and influence. Edwina Ashley, future wife of Louis Mountbatten, was born into a family of means, but not of emotional connection. While her grandfather, Sir Ernest Cassel, was kind and involved, her parents left her sister and Edwina to mostly be raised by governesses. After her mother's death, Edwina's father married for a second time to a woman Louis would later describe as "a wicked woman." Edwina was ultimately able to find refuge in her grandfather's home, where as a teenager she became a sophisticated society hostess and a friend to many in the monied elite. Sir Ernest Cassel's death, when Edwina was about 20, made her one of the richest women in England. Upon her engagement to the much-less-rich Louis Mountbatten, Sir Anthony Eden noted in his diary, "Edwina Ashley is engaged to Lord Louis Mountbatten. What a waste."

Prince George of Battenberg, later the 2nd Marquess of Milford Haven, was the third child of Louis Battenber and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, and was by all accounts a pretty good dude. Like his father, he set his sights on a naval career, and excelled at the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, entering the Royal Navy in time to participate in World War I. His 1916 marriage to Countess Nadajda de Torby, called Nada by her friends, would become a source of significant scandal in 1934, when a former maid became a key witness in the high profile custody battle over young heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. The mail alleged on the stand that Nada and the girl's mother, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, were lovers, and the story was so salacious for its time that the judge cleared the courtroom entirely. After the family dropped "Battenberg" in favor of "Mountbatten" in 1917, at the height of anti-German sentiment in England, George Mountbatten would continue being one of the few stable presences in the life of Prince Philip, and Queen Elizabeth II, his eventual niece-in-law, was extremely fond of George. His death at the young age of 45, from bone marrow cancer, was yet another tragedy in young Philip's life, while Nada would remain close friends with Edwina Mountbatten, her sister-in-law, and the wife of Philip's next mentor, Louis Mountbatten.

The second child of Prince Louis of Battenberg (later, Louis Mountbatten, Marquess of Milford Haven) and Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine was Princess Louise, born July 14, 1889. While most royal were promptly shuttled into marriage, Louise was an independent, progressive young woman whose heart was set on marrying for love. There were suitors, to be sure, but Louise was insistent that she would never marry a king or a widower, and of course, that the union be based on love. This led her down some blind alleys, most notably with a Scottish portrait and landscape artist living in Paris, whom she met when they worked together at a military hospital during the First World War. Alexander Stuart-Hill was charming but eccentric, and was decidedly not rich. Fearing her family's reaction, Louise kept the pair's engagement secret for two years; by the time she revealed her secret, her parents asked that she delay marriage until the war had ended. After Alexander visited the Mountbattens a few times, earning the nickname 'Shakespeare' from his would-be in-laws, Louis Mountbatten had to sit his poor daughter down and explain to her that there were people called homosexuals, and he believed her fiance was one. It's unclear precisely how this resolved between Louise and Alexander, beyond the fact that the engagement ended in 1918. Princess Louise would find love at last, however, and in a most unexpected place. Sweden's Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, recent widower of Louise's mother's cousin, visited London in 1923 and took a real shine to Louise, then into her 30s. Sure, he was a widower, and sure, he was destined to be King of Sweden, but at long last, Louise had fallen in love with someone who loved her back. Her new in-laws loved her, and she became the devoted step-mother of Gustav's children. As Princess and then Queen Consort, she was beloved by the people of Sweden for her rejection of royal airs, belief in gender equality and civil rights, humanitarian work during World War II, and democratic reforms to the monarchy.

After Louis Battenberg's (later Louis Mountbatten) successful campaign to marry Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine, the couple set about having babies. The first of these, Princess Alice, was born in 1885, and came into the world congenitally deaf. Given the era, no particular accommodations were made for her, and while her condition caused many to underestimate her, she compensated by learning to lip-read (in several languages) and spoke English, German, French, and, later, Greek. Her marriage to Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark was happy only for a while, but the pair had five children. Alice occupied herself with charity work, and when hostilities broke out between Greece and Turkey, she served as a nurse at the front line, earning the deep affection of the Greek people. During the First World War, Greece exiled the royal family, and setting up in Paris, Alice and Andrew became estranged. He would ride out the rest of his life in the south of France with his mistress, while Alice's life became strange and complicated. She fell in unrequited love, though history has not retained the identity of her affection, and developed a religious fervor. She was hospitalized in sanitariums and treated with cutting edge techniques for schizophrenia, like hitting her abdomen with X-rays to destroy her ovaries. During her convalescence, which she wanted out of, her daughters married without her knowing and her youngest son, Prince Philip, gradually grew from a child to a man, with no real connection to his mother or father. Alice spent World War II in Athens, caring for the poor and hungry, and sheltering a Jewish family. When the Nazi occupiers came to search her home, she leaned into her deafness, pretending not to understand what they wanted until they were so bamboozled they left empty handed. She founded a religious order, but when Greece again abolished the monarchy, her son Philip, now married to Queen Elizabeth II, ensured her safe passage to Great Britain, where she lived out her days simply and humbly, as a quiet resident of Buckingham Palace.

While royal houses are often insular and even incestuous (at least at the cousin-marrying level), new blood does manage to enter those gene pools from time to time. Meet the Mountbattens! The family's story begins in Russia, circa 1850, where the orphaned daughter of a Polish general named Julia von Hauke was serving in the household of Maria Alexandrovna, future wife of future Tsar Alexander II. Maria's brother, Prince Alexander of Hesse and by Rhine, fell hard for the common-born Julia, a romance that was seemingly halted by Emperor Nicholas I, who wanted Prince Alexander to marry his niece. Unable to shake off their love, the two eloped, which left Alexander persona non grata in the Russian court. Returning to his native Hesse, Prince Alexander's brother, Grand Duke Louis III of Hesse-Darmstadt, granted Julia the title of Countess of Battenberg, named for a town in the north of the duchy, and later, Princess of Battenberg. But Europe's royal houses have both a long memory and an enormous snobbery, meaning that when Alexander and Julia's sons, The Battenberg Boys, began pursuing the granddaughters of England's Queen Victoria for marriage a generation later, the courtships - successful and unsuccessful - were rife with intrigue and scandal. But it was the marriage of Louis Battenberg to Queen Vic's granddaughter Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine that would eventually transform the family from a tainted, common-born Battenberg lineage to the British Mountbattens, the house of Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. But that's a story for next week. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

In the 90s, Jerry Seinfeld was a king of the TV and of the broader culture. His hit show Seinfeld was four years into its run when Jerry spotted an attractive girl in Central Park. He approached, got her number, and only later learned that he, a 38 year old man, had just chatted up a 17-year-old named Shoshanna Lonstein. Did this stop Jerry Seinfeld from a four year romance with his much younger paramour? No, no it did not.

Once again, we're catching up on the haps within the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe, and maybe adding some new names into the mix as well. Brand new wedding news is the talk of the town for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. New York socialite Libbie Mugrabi, who left her divorce from art collector David Mugrabi with a cool $100 million, is having to offload a mansion that was part of that settlement. Her lawyer will soon own the property at above-market rates. Shakira is off the hook for Spanish tax problems from 2011, at least until the prosecution service appeals. James Fishback is a weirdo running a surprisingly strong campaign for Florida's governor. He may also have just gotten married. And finally, we catch up on Katie Price and the no-longer-missing Alleged Lee Andrews. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

While the last few years of Katie Price's life have not been uneventful, the last weeks of her life have been extraordinary even by Katie Price standards. In January, she married a Guy in Dubai (Lee Andrews) after three days in his company. The Guy in Dubai was immediately the subject of intense media scrutiny, and what was revealed was jarring. So jarring, perhaps, that Lee Andrews opted to step away from his life for a bit and faked his own kidnapping to do it. Editor's Note: This episode was recorded on Friday, May 22.

Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of domestic violence. Taylor Frankie Paul's relationship with Dakota was far more violent than we knew, and the violence has continued into 2026. The pair have recently been in court seeking mutual protective orders, and, to her credit, Taylor acknowledged that she was indeed part of the problem. For his part, Dakota acknowledged that Taylor was the entire problem. The judge was not impressed, and while their legal saga continues, this is the end of our extended introduction to Taylor Frankie Paul - though we're pretty sure we'll meet her again.

The ABC network went and recorded a whole season of its hit reality show The Bachelorette - and promptly shelved it. Dakota, once again, was the cause, having sold his cell phone video of Taylor Frankie Paul's domestic violence incident from 2023 to TMZ days before the season's premiere. The fate of the season remains up in the air, and as for Taylor Frankie Paul's legal situation, we'll get into that in the next episode.

As the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star navigated her on-again, off-again relationship with the philandering Dakota, new professional opportunities arose. As Taylor Frankie Paul's turn as The Bachelorette approached, Dakota's behavior became more off-putting, and the day the season was to begin filming, Taylor was nearly despondent.

Today, we revisit the very Trashy Divorce of Betty and Dan Broderick, which ends in tragedy with the murder of Dan, and his second wife. Betty Broderick’s ultimately fatal obsession with her ex-husband is a true trashy classic and seemed timely to reprise as Betty passed away in prison last week at the age of 78.

After escaping her abusive husband, Hortense spent some time on the lam. She published her memoirs, which made her a celebrated author, and then, at the urging of the English ambassador, headed to London to "see her niece" - and within months, was yet another mistress of Charles II. And soon after, Charles II's eldest daughter with Barbara Villiers. There were plenty more lovers to come, so to speak, as well.

Today, in this Trashy Royals crossover, we meet the last mistress to join that odd club, Hortense Mancini. Born to a big brood in Rome - Hortense was the eighth of ten - the family moved to Paris after her father's death, where her uncle Cardinal Mazarin gave them entry to the French court and planned for his nieces' futures as wives. He chose poorly in the case of Hortense, but her unhappy marriage ultimately propelled her to the shores of England, as well as making her a celebrated writer.

Alicia comes to us with a story we've been loosely watching for years: the slow, apparent destruction of the marriage of singer Justin Timberlake and actress Jessica Biel. According to Page Six, Jessica is near her wit's end with Justin's behavior - drinking seems to be at the core of it - and his absences as she raises their two sons largely solo. Apparently there's been an ultimatum! And Alicia has May jokes. Allegedly. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

After his first divorce and his toxic relationship with Cathy Smith, it would be 16 years before Gordon Lightfoot took the plunge and married again, this time to Elizabeth Moon. It's hard to say if this was a good relationship, but it produced two children and seems to have involved a very long period of separation during which, for once, he was involved in parenting his children. He also had some serious health events during this time. When he married his third wife, Kim Hasse, he was already into his 70s, but the guy was durable. In spite of decades of late nights and hard living, he lived to be 84 years old, passing away on May 1, 2023. Sponsors Today's episode is sponsored by Incogni.

After her tumultuous relationship with Gordon Lightfoot ended, Cathy Smith headed to California to pursue her own musical dreams. She was briefly a backup singer for Hoyt Axton. She also had a brief interlude in Paris, where she met The Rolling Stones, who she would later provide drugs to. But it was her association with John Belushi that made her notorious. In March of 1982, she injected Belushi with a mixture of heroin and cocaine that proved fatal. The media and legal drama that followed was just another part of her pattern of being taken advantage of by others. Sponsors Acorns.

As ever, the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe has been on full display of late, with new entrants as well! First up, we mourn actor Patrick Muldoon, who died suddenly of a heart attack on April 19 at just 57 years old. He was not part of our TDCU, but his 36-year-long friendship (and early 90s romance) with Denise Richards, then later a romance with Tori Spelling, certainly give us reason to grieve the loss. Then, Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney made it Instagram official, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a change of venue, but not a change of heart, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has been stepping out on his wife apparently for years, and it's gotten both his alleged mistress and another female sports reporter fired from their jobs.

Starting around 1970, Cathy Smith and Gordon Lightfoot reconnected and embarked on a wildly toxic romantic relationship that ran three or four years. He, of course, was still married to Brita (Brita would name Cathy Smith in her divorce suit), but they had been living separately. Cathy moved in with him, quit her job, and the pair immediately began cheating on each other. Jealousy seems to have been Gordon's main emotion during their time together, as evidenced by his song Sundown, written about Cathy.

Super Groupies were a hot topic in the 1960s and 1970s, and definitely still are around here on Trashy Divorces. In this episode, Alicia gets into the life, work, and spiderwebs of Cynthia Albritton, known in the day as Cynthia Plaster Caster. Her art was unusual, certainly, but Cynthia went to great lengths to make her creative work her own. Cynthia was truly a Super Groupie, and is remembered in an alternate way than most of the other gals hanging around the scene. Pamela de Barres perhaps summed it up best about her fellow groupie sister Cynthia by saying "She was the Michelangelo of Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

In this week's musically-themed episode, Alicia breaks down some of the lyrics in Taylor Swift's new track, Elizabeth Taylor, from her album The Life of a Showgirl.

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. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

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.

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

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.

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.

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Between her mother Alice and her uncle Sol, it is no wonder Wallis wants to break free to see a different world than the one she knows.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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. Alicia follows the final, pivotal months of the one-time Queen consort of England, the woman Henry had broken with the Catholic Church to wed, and the mother of the future Elizabeth I, from celebrations of the death of Catherine of Aragon in January to the blade of a hired swordsman from Calais in May.

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.

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.

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

There are legends in baseball, but there are also cautionary tales. Cincinnati Reds icon Pete Rose, who hit more pitches than anyone else in the history of the game, is a lot of both.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Hello dahlinks! We've made it to the very last of the Glamorous Gabors, and the later years of Zsa Zsa Gabor. This episode follows her final marriage, to a fake prince that Zsa Zsa's daughter described as an "evil queen," the fake prince's legal action against that daughter, a robbery of the fake prince by a lesbian street gang, and of course, Zsa Zsa's Slap Heard Around The World.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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!Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Subscribe to Dead and Kind of Famous on your podcast app, and subscribe to the newsletter on Substack!

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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!Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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?Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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....Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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!

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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!

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!Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Check out more of Alicia's Paris stories on our public Patreon feed.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

But his home life was never sanguine.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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?Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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!

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

VanderPump Rules's Tom Sandoval is savoring his turn as the Most Hated Man in America. Miley's mom Tish Cyrus allegedly stole her daughter's boyfriend - then married him.

If you're on TikTok, you may have already come across the massively viral "Who TF Did I Marry" series over there. 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.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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!

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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)Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

We woke up to the sad news that Jimmy Buffett, music's "Mayor of Margaritaville," had passed peacefully on September 1. 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.

Content warning: Discussion of suicideLate 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.

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.SponsorsTake ownership of your health with AG1!

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.SponsorsJune’s Journey from Wooga.

In what is shaping up to be a wild summer of breakups, one story has really dominated: the apparent affair between pop icon Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater. Both were married at the start of the year, and while the proceedings are pending as of now, both have filed to end those marriages.

Alicia has the delightfully dapper - if frequently ill-timed - story of English actor Roger Moore and his four marriages. 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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

TV's Leeza Gibbons has been many things: a talk show host, an Emmy Winner, a best-selling author, and a generous philanthropist, so you may be wondering where she's found the time for four marriages and three divorces. 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.

Not everyone goes into their field dreaming of fame and fortune, but for O.J. Simpson prosecutor Marcia Clark, fame hit her like a ton of bricks. 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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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!

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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!

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 NecklaceUnsurprisingly, 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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of alleged domestic violence and child abuse.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.Join us this Thursday, February 16, for That Trashy Show – A Valentine’s Day Decompression Session!

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.

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 back story 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.Join us Thursday, February 16, for That Trashy Show - A Valentine's Day Decompression Session!

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.

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.

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.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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.SponsorsDipsea.

Then, Alicia has the two marriages and divorces of acting icon Faye Dunaway, as well as some trashy tidbits from her Academy Award-winning career.SponsorsSkillshare.

This week, Alicia has the story of the most exciting marriage that never was: That of Lauren Bacall, recent widow of Humphrey Bogart, and Frank Sinatra, who idolized Bogie but wanted to keep the relationship under wraps. When Hollywood super-agent Irving 'Swifty' Lazar inadvertently spilled to gossip columnist Louella Parsons, Lauren faced the wrath of Frank - and was saved from an undoubtedly unhappy marriage.SponsorsSkillshare.

This week, Alicia has perhaps the spiderwebby-est story she's ever told, with the 1960s marriage and divorce of actors Brooke Hayward and Dennis Hopper.

This week, Stacie gushes about two of her favorite actors, and Alicia raves about one of her favorite women of the Gilded Age. Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito's 40-year-long romance was an inspiration, but so is their post-breakup story. American heiress Jennie Jerome was locked out of New York high society, so she became a doyenne of the British aristocracy instead - and mother of a future Prime Minister - by marrying to become Jennie Jerome Churchill.SponsorsSkillshare.

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.You can listen to Done & Dunne on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.SponsorsSkillshare.

This week, we have two subjects who take very different views of the prying eyes of an adoring public. 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.SponsorsSkillshare.

With news of a celebrity engagement that ended with a little blood drinking, Stacie's mind turned to the yesteryear pairing of Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton and their infamous lockets of blood. Then, Alicia challenges her own beliefs about how terrible Henry VIII was with a new contender, Russia's Ivan the Terrible. With eight wives and hundreds of thousands dead in his wake, Hank 8 is looking better and better.SponsorsKiwiCo. Redefine learning with play!

For Trashy Breakups this week, Alicia follows up on Sunday's story about the marriage and divorce of Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors. Their split likely had many causes, but actor Ryan O'Neal was certainly near the top. He and Farrah would spend the next decades in a tumultuous affair that damaged everyone in its orbit, especially the children they raised.SponsorsKiwiCo. Redefine learning with play!

You may know that Alicia has a couple of other podcasts. For Trashy Breakups this week, we're sharing an episode of her Done & Dunne true crime and Dominick Dunne fancast that's about as trashy a story as they come. Thanks for your patience while we bounce back from our third covid shots.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.

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.SponsorsTruebill.
