March 26, 2023 04:01 - 41 minutes

As we close out another season, Alicia wanted to update us all on a group of past profilees: the Brown family from TV's Sister Wives reality show. Where Kody Brown once had four wives, he's down to just one - but there's reason to believe that monogamy isn't suiting him. We are off next week to get set for Season 18! We'll be back with you Wednesday, April 5, with more Trashy Divorces. Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces...

March 22, 2023 04:01 - 26 minutes

Today, Stacie adds to the show's nerd credibility with the weird but true story of that time that Bill Nye the Science Guy was married - maybe - for a whopping seven weeks. The end was bad, particularly for the famed science communicator's rose garden. Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

S17E21: The Pill | Florence Henderson

March 15, 2023 04:01 - 1 hour

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...

S17E20: Best Friend | Gayle King

March 12, 2023 05:01 - 36 minutes

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

March 08, 2023 05:01 - 42 minutes

Some losses feel impossible, and when news of Robin Williams's death broke back in 2014, the world grieved his passing.

S17E18: She's Not There | Sherri Papini

March 05, 2023 05:01 - 49 minutes

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

S17E17: F.O.D. | Steven Seagal

March 01, 2023 05:01 - 47 minutes

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

S17E16: At Last | Katey Sagal

February 26, 2023 05:01 - 1 hour

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

S17E14: Hit The Road Jack! | Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy, Part Two

February 19, 2023 05:01 - 55 minutes

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

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

February 15, 2023 05:01 - 49 minutes

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.

February 12, 2023 05:01 - 27 minutes

It's a mid-season palate cleanser!

S17E10: Flowers | Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus

February 05, 2023 05:01 - 39 minutes

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

S17E09: Sympathy For The Devil | Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Part Two

February 01, 2023 05:01 - 38 minutes

After introducing the troubled early years of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in Sunday's episode, Alicia brings us right up to the present day 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!

S17E08: Basket Case | Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Part One

January 29, 2023 05:01 - 40 minutes

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 Th...

S17E07: Bust A Move | Silent Film Titan Buster Keaton

January 25, 2023 05:01 - 53 minutes

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.

Actress Glenn Close has been a driving force in Hollywood and on Broadway for decades, and while her professional successes are nearly unmatched, her romantic life has had a far more mixed run.

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

January 18, 2023 05:01 - 51 minutes

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 Groupie...

S17E04: Candy | Phylicia Rashad

January 15, 2023 05:01 - 38 minutes

Alicia kicks off her exploration of Sitcom Moms with one of the greats of the genre! In the mid-1980s, Phylicia Rashad became America's favorite mom and wife with her portrayal of Clair Huxtable on the smash hit, The Cosby Show. In her real life, however, domesticity was a harder slog, and even included a few years married to one of the Village People! Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

S17E03: Way Too Pretty For Prison | Todd Chrisley

January 11, 2023 05:01 - 42 minutes

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 mar...

S17E02: Smooth Operator | Philip Michael Thomas

January 08, 2023 05:01 - 31 minutes

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

S17E01: Getaway Car | Jennie Garth

S16E23: It's A Heartache | Lorraine Bracco

December 21, 2022 05:01 - 59 minutes

We've covered some doozies of divorces on this show, but today Alicia has a breakup that took years - in spite of the couple in question not being married. We're talking about actress Lorraine Bracco, whose messy split from actor Harvey Keitel made her life nearly impossible for most of the 1990s, before a little show called The Sopranos turned everything around for her.

December 18, 2022 06:01 - 33 minutes

Stacie takes us through the three trips down the aisle - and two trips to divorce court - of actress Scarlett Johansson. At just 38, she holds the title of highest-grossing box office star of all time, and while her family life has taken some time to gel, there's a lot of reason to think that - Goldilocks style - the third try was finally just right.

December 14, 2022 05:01 - 43 minutes

Actress, television personality, and former model Garcelle Beauvais is a beloved cast member of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills these days, but her path there has not been without struggle. Alicia has the whole story, from a childhood broken home to an international move to some early-career on-the-street encounters that put her in front of fashion photographers before finding success on television and in film. There are also two marriages, two divorces, and a scandal we call, "But her e...

December 11, 2022 05:01 - 32 minutes

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

S16E19: Save The Best For Last | Vanessa Williams

December 07, 2022 05:01 - 50 minutes

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 powe...

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

December 04, 2022 05:01 - 36 minutes

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.

November 13, 2022 05:01 - 50 minutes

Infidelity is bad enough, but to learn about your husband's infidelity from Us Weekly is a different level of bad. That's more or less the story of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville and her ex-husband, actor Eddie Cibrian, whose high-profile split sounds like it was a real doozy.

There's some real truth to the maxim "Mo' money, mo' problems," and perhaps no former couple knows that better than hedge fund giant Steve A. Cohen and his first wife, Patricia.
