S20E01: Christina Ricci
October 11, 2023 04:01 - 58 minutesContent Warning: Child abuse, domestic violence Actress Christina Ricci has been entertaining us on the big and small screen since she was just ten years old. While many child stars chafe under the pressure of early stardom, for Christina, escaping to a film set was a welcome diversion from her parents' troubled marriage and eventual divorce. While her career would become a sustained success as an adult, her own first marriage turned into a nightmare scenario she's still struggling with, even...
S19E24: The Best Is Yet To Come | Tony Bennett, Part Two
September 24, 2023 04:01 - 51 minutesThe years after Tony's second marriage were not happy ones for him. His career took a downturn as Americans' musical tastes changed, and he coped with the dislocation in extremely unhealthy ways, which crashed his marriage, too. Finding himself entirely adrift, he did the most vulnerable thing a struggling parent could do: he called his adult sons and asked for help. It was the turning point in a life and career that would sparkle for decades to come. We'll be back for Season 20 on October 11...
S19E23: I Left My Heart in San Francisco | Tony Bennett, Part One
September 20, 2023 04:01 - 44 minutesBy nearly all accounts, crooner Tony Bennett was one of the greats. Not just as a singer and performer, but in the ways he treated people, the causes he chose to champion, and his endless willingness to contribute his talents to charity events. But even the greats have rough spots! There may be very few people with an unkind word to say about Tony Bennett, but his two ex-wives could surely be among them. Alicia has his background, lessons from his World War II experiences, and his first marri...
S19E22: Mr. Perfectly Fine | Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas
September 17, 2023 04:01 - 41 minutesThat an actor and a musician would be divorcing isn't really news, but in the case of Jonas Brothers frontman Joe Jonas and his recently filed divorce from wife of four years, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, a dumb PR move turned it into a huge story. Did Joe mean for the tabloids to run stories suggesting that Sophie is a bad mom? We may never know, but this Jonas Brother has managed to give himself a huge black eye.

S19E21: Radio Song | Rush Limbaugh
September 13, 2023 04:01 - 44 minutesRush Limbaugh ascended to heights of conservative talk radio in the 80s and 90s, introducing a brand of discourse in America most notable for its toxicity. While there was a willing audience for his bilge, it's clear from his three divorces, substance misuse, and legal issues, that his notoriety wasn't without costs.

S19E20: The Scientist | Carl Sagan, Part Two
September 10, 2023 04:01 - 38 minutesAfter Carl Sagan's first divorce, from biologist Lynn Margulis, he was to find love again. And, in a massive betrayal, yet again. Look, the guy indisputably made big contributions to science and the public's understanding of it, but his personal life was a mess!

S19E19: The Scientist | Carl Sagan, Part One
September 06, 2023 04:01 - 35 minutesAstronomer Carl Sagan was an ever-present voice in American culture for several decades in the latter half of the 20th century, sometimes commenting on topics far beyond the scope of his space science training. If you think that suggests some ego, you would be right, and that attribute or character flaw (depending on your perspective) certainly impacted his ability to enjoy happy marriages. In this first of a two-part story, we get into Carl's background and his first marriage, to pioneering ...
S19E18: Cowboy in the Jungle | Jimmy Buffett (Trashy Divorces Classics)
September 03, 2023 04:01 - 26 minutesWe 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.

S19E17: No Tell Lover | David Letterman
August 30, 2023 04:01 - 49 minutesContent warning: Discussion of suicide Late night television's David Letterman has been a fixture in American households since the early 80s. His wry wit, top ten lists, and willingness to take his show into unexpected directions, all for laughs, made him a comedy legend, but the man himself has often been beset by insecurity. One friend describes his "demonically low self-esteem," and perhaps that is why he has so often strayed into infidelity in his famously private personal life. Stacie ha...
S19E16: Send Me An Angel | Corey Feldman
August 27, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour80'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 ...
S19E15: The Story Of Us (Taylor's Version) | Henry VIII (Trashy Divorces Classics)
August 23, 2023 04:01 - 41 minutesAlicia enjoyed Stacie's trip down memory lane with Rudy Giuliani so much that she wanted to share her OG Trashy Divorces story as well, that of King Henry VIII of England. He famously had six wives, some of whom he did not kill!

S19E14: A Message To You, Rudy | Rudy Giuliani (Trashy Divorces Classics)
August 20, 2023 04:01 - 40 minutesWell 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. Sponsors June’s Journey from Wooga.

S19E13: Watershed | Kelly McGillis
August 16, 2023 04:01 - 40 minutesWhen the long-awaited Top Gun sequel Maverick hit theaters last year, many were left to wonder why actress Kelly McGillis wasn't tapped to reprise her role as Charlie. Well, it turns out that she wouldn't have been interested if they had asked. Kelly, you see, has been on quite a journey through trauma and self-discovery - including two divorces and a significant relationship breakup - and has more than moved on from the Hollywood hustle.

S19E12: Thank U, Next | Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater
August 13, 2023 04:01 - 24 minutesIn 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. Tongues are wagging across the globe about this unlikely - and potentially unwise - pairing. Stacie has the details. Sponsors Take ownership of your health with AG1! Go to drinkAG1.com/TRA...
S19E11: He's A Tramp | Sir Roger Moore
August 09, 2023 04:01 - 54 minutesAlicia 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 ...
S19E10: Changes | Linda Evangelista
August 06, 2023 04:01 - 43 minutesLinda Evangelista may have had one of the world's most famous faces during the 1990s Supermodel heyday, but there was more going on behind the scenes than even she knew. Her sole marriage led, decades later, to serious and disturbing allegations against her ex-husband, including from the time they were together. In more recent years, an unlikely side effect from a medical procedure has sent one of humanity's most beautiful people on an inner journey. Stacie has her story. Content warning: Thi...
S19E09: Who's That Lady | Mona von Bismarck, The Kentucky Countess (Done & Dunne Crossover)
August 02, 2023 04:01 - 35 minutesIn today's crossover episode with Alicia's other podcast, Done & Dunne, she takes us through the surprising life and many marriages of mid-century socialite and fashion icon, Mona von Bismarck. From humble origins on a Kentucky horse farm, Mona found marriage to be a feasible path to the good life, and was the wife of the then-richest man in America for nearly three decades - but that's far from the end, or the best, of her story!

S19E08: Famous In A Small Town | Jason Aldean
July 30, 2023 04:01 - 41 minutesCountry star Jason Aldean has a list of things that Americans wouldn't want to try in a small town, but how about trying a high profile affair, a reputation-tarnishing divorce, marrying your mistress, and living the highest of the high life while singing hollow anthems about a lifestyle you never lived? Well that's perfectly fine to try in a small town, apparently. Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces! Spo...
S19E07: Blonde Ambition | Leeza Gibbons
July 26, 2023 04:01 - 40 minutesTV'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. Alicia has high hopes for her fourth marriage though, now more than a decade along. Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divo...
S19E06: You Don't Own Me | Marcia Clark
July 23, 2023 04:01 - 42 minutesNot 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 e...
S19E05: Everyday I Write The Book | Mary Astor, The Pilfered Purple Diary, and the Sex Scandal that Rocked 1936
July 19, 2023 04:01 - 49 minutesMovie 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 di...
S19E04: Original Prankster | Jimmy Kimmel
July 16, 2023 04:01 - 39 minutesNighttime talker Jimmy Kimmel's divorce wasn't particularly trashy, but in a career that's now spanned decades, he's had his trashy moments. From an unclear beginning with fellow comedian Sarah Silverman to his baby son's medical crisis (see his moving monologue about it on YouTube here) to a fairly obscene feud with Sean Hannity and Marjorie Taylor Greene (watch Jimmy file a report with Batman about Georgia's MTG, on YouTube), this Original Prankster has had quite a run.

S19E03: The Facts of Life | Lisa Whelchel
July 12, 2023 04:01 - 46 minutesFor 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 l...
S19E02: Personal Jesus | Bishop Eddie Long
July 09, 2023 04:01 - 46 minutesAtlanta'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, a...
S19E01: Forever In Blue Jeans | Calvin Klein
July 05, 2023 04:01 - 57 minutesAnd we're back! Alicia kicks off Season 19 with the life and times - and trashy divorces and breakups - of fashion icon Calvin Klein. Yes, he pioneered designer jeans and scandalized the world with a racy Brooke Shields ad campaign in the 80s, but his real triumph seems to be forcing everyone in his orbit to see his name on underwear when a man disrobes!

S18E24: It's A Man's Man's Man's World | Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi
June 25, 2023 04:01 - 1 hourWhen news broke that former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had died earlier this month, he went from a name on our list of potential subjects to a subject ripe for exploration. And what a ride it is - from his numerous affairs, to his scandalous (and criminal) "bunga bunga" parties, to his nearly flawless success in avoiding consequences for all manner of criminal conduct - his story is yet more proof that, like James Brown said, "It's a man's man's man's world." Programming note: W...
S18E23: Little Miss Can't Be Wrong | RHOC's Kelly Dodd
June 21, 2023 04:01 - 1 hourWe've covered our fair share of Real Housewives on this show, but we're pretty sure you'll agree that even at their trashiest, none can hold a candle to the Real Housewives of Orange County's Kelly Dodd. From rampant allegations of domestic violence to taking her feuds - real and imagined - onto social media, Kelly's outrageous behavior was even too much for Bravo.

S18E22: Sailing | Gavin MacLeod
June 18, 2023 04:01 - 58 minutesIn honor of Father's Day, Stacie has the very human story of actor Gavin MacLeod, best known as Captain Stubing on TV's The Love Boat. His story - including two arguably trashy divorces - is about as relatable as it gets, and without giving away the ending, the man only gets halos. Ahoy!

June 14, 2023 04:01 - 45 minutesIt's Pride Month, and to celebrate, we have the story of Bravolebrity and California real estate mega-broker Josh Flagg, whose 2022 divorce from ex-husband Bobby Boyd led to some notably sharp exchanges on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing. Even better, this one has the awesome tale of Josh's grandmother, Edith, who legit fought the Nazis as part of the Dutch Resistance during WWII.

S18E19: Tiny Dancer | Tony Danza
June 07, 2023 04:01 - 36 minutesSince the mid-80s, Americans have puzzled over the enduring question: Who's The Boss? It turns out that the star of that much loved television show, Tony Danza, is a decidedly untrashy fellow, even with three divorces under his belt. Stacie has all the details, which amount to a heaping helping of wholesome Gen X nostalgia. Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

S18E18: Fly Like An Eagle | Terrence Howard
June 04, 2023 04:01 - 58 minutesWe've covered a lot of eccentric personalities on this show, we've covered a lot of people with anger management problems, and we've covered plenty of out of control egos. Somehow, Empire star Terrence Howard has transmuted all of those traits into a basically off-the-charts life story. Seriously, all our scales for trashiness are having to be recalibrated after this one. Alicia has the deets. Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of domestic violence.

S18E17: Introducing Trashy Royals | The Affair of the Diamond Necklace
May 31, 2023 04:01 - 37 minutesThis 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.

S18E16: Where The Colors Don't Go | Alexis Bledel
May 28, 2023 04:01 - 34 minutesIt turns out that not all divorces are trashy, and for Gilmore Girls actress Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) her recent split from ex-husband Vincent Kartheiser was handled as discretely as all the other parts of their relationship. But sometimes on a long holiday weekend, you just have to dive into your Gilmore Girls fandom, which we do here with great abandon.

S18E15: Pennies From Heaven | Kaley Cuoco
May 24, 2023 04:01 - 48 minutesWe often talk about a "starter marriage," believing that maybe the second go-round will go better, but for actress Kaley Cuoco, that's not how it happened. The Big Bang Theory star walked down the aisle - and then into divorce court - twice, and while she seems to have sworn off marriage as a result, that doesn't mean she hasn't found true love.

May 21, 2023 04:01 - 48 minutesIt's probably not quite right to describe comedian and actor Tracy Morgan as "lucky," but it's also sort of a miracle that he's survived the things he's survived. Alicia has his story, from tragic losses early in life to his death-defying comebacks - as well as a couple of a trashy divorces.

May 14, 2023 04:01 - 2 hoursAll 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.

May 10, 2023 04:01 - 40 minutesIt'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.

From humble origins in Jackson, Mississippi, Cat has built an enormously successful career, but unfortunately, her love life has been rockier.

S18E9: Everybody's Got a Cousin in Miami | Peter Phillips, Son of Princess Anne
May 03, 2023 04:01 - 41 minutesOur 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 thi...
S18E8: Gives You Hell | Lady Colin Campbell
April 30, 2023 04:01 - 45 minutesFor all the current disorientation around gender, it's easy to forget that these questions - and the ways individuals will answer them - aren't exactly new. Alicia has the story of the UK's Lady Colin Campbell, a best-selling Royals biographer who married into the aristocracy - only to see a caricatured version of her private medical history splashed across tabloid headlines back in the 1970s.

S18E7: Cold As Ice | Sir Anthony Hopkins
April 26, 2023 04:01 - 32 minutesSome people live with nostalgia for all that's come before, but this isn't an issue that acting legend Sir Anthony Hopkins contends with. To whit: the demise of his two marriages and his long estrangement from his only child are met with a classic stiff upper lip. "Life is life," Hopkins has said, "you get on with it." If his earlier decades weren't especially touchy-feely, it does seem like he's found sustained happiness in this century. Stacie has the details. Want early, ad-free episodes, ...
S18E06: You Give Love A Bad Name | George Lazenby, the Lesser James Bond
April 23, 2023 04:01 - 58 minutesSome 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...
S18E5: Little Lies | Rupert Murdoch (Trashy Divorces Classics)
April 19, 2023 04:01 - 1 hourIn 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, ...
S18E4: 22 | RHOP's Ashley and Michael Darby
April 16, 2023 04:01 - 56 minutesWhen it comes to the Real Housewives franchises, we have a very Godfather-esque take: "Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in again!" So it is that Alicia brings us the three-alarm trashcan fire of the marriage of Real Housewives of Potomac cast members Ashley and Michael Darby. This one's all over the map - a big age difference, allegations of infidelity, allegations of same-sex sexual assault, and a few legal shenanigans as a trashy cherry on top of it all. Buckle up, Trashpa...

April 12, 2023 04:01 - 57 minutesThink you grew up with family dysfunction? Wait till you hear Alicia's story today, about writer and TV personality Victoria Gotti. As the daughter of Gambino crime family Mafia boss John Gotti, her childhood was anything but normal, and her adulthood - with an ongoing effort to steer clear of "the life" - hasn't exactly been a walk in the park either. Victoria has been a lot of things in her life, just please don't call her a Mob Princess. Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom h...

April 09, 2023 04:01 - 31 minutesNewly minted Academy Award winner Brendan Fraser certainly couldn't have predicted the twists and turns his life and career would take when he burst onto movie screens in the 1990s. After battling injuries, the emotional scars from a sexual assault, and an acrimonious end to his marriage, suddenly, Brendan's lost decade or so came to a crashing halt with his acclaimed, and much awarded, role in 2022's The Whale. Stacie has this shining reminder that sometimes good guys do finish first. Want e...

April 05, 2023 04:01 - 1 hourBringing us back for our Season 18 kickoff, Alicia has the story of screen legend - and original Bond Boy - Sean Connery! While he had just one divorce, he was kind enough to gift us decades of questionable commentary about the appropriate treatment of women, as well as engage in some potential tax shenanigans in Spain. When it comes to Season 18 premieres, "There can be only one!" (That's a Highlander joke, if you haven't seen the 1986 classic recently.) Want early, ad-free episodes, limited...

Each week Jameela's favorite comedians, celebrities and funny friends share their epic and true dating nightmares and misfires.
