Trashy Divorces

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. Stacie has the details.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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. Buckle up, Trashpandas. This one is Real. Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!SponsorsMau Pets.
