Trashy Divorces

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?

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. Stacie pieces it together.Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!SponsorsInnovative Extracts.

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

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

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 email!"Want early, ad-free episodes, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

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

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, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
