The Worstship

Lisa was dating Derek, a man 4 years her senior. She met him through some friends of hers and they dropped L-bombs within a few weeks! Huge red flag! After reeling her in, Derek started lying about EVERYTHING. He was probably addicted to lying so he could escape his reality by becoming someone else, essentially, in someone else's eyes. Lisa, don't say you should never trust men again! You won't meet another idiot like Derek. He's one of one.

Our very first email submission episode is pure insanity. Dirty John 2.0 expands on what the definition of a loser is. He was 10 years older than his girlfriend Laura and he brought nothing but chaos to the table. It all began with Dirty John 2.0 sniffing Laura and her roommate's underwear. Things took a turn from there y'all. Trust me. And the Tweet I reference in this episode can be found here. LOLs!    

I'm sharing one of my personal worstship stories. His real name is Clyde.  Breakdown: Overlooking compatibility issues because you want a break from dating. Broke status revealed. Yikes! Why do men who are bad in bed want sex everyday? Scientists, get to work. We need answers!

I'm so grateful for all of you and I can't wait to share my own stories with you soon! I hope your Thanksgiving is whatever you want it to be. I hope it's peaceful and that you aren't triggered and that your family is loving and mentally stable. I know that's a tall order for some, but you're all very blessed if you have a great family that you can spend the holidays with.  I can't wait to start sharing my submissions with you, along with my own relationship stories, before I bring back new interviews next year. Love y'all!

Hi there. It's Joy, the host of The Worstship, and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be sharing some of my own worstships on upcoming episodes of the podcast. I'll also share more submissions, because some of my story submissions are SO GOOD you deserve to hear them! We'll be back with more chaos next week. I really can't believe what some people have been through. The gag is, life is always crazier than fiction!

Tyler Francis was sleeping with his baby mama Bri, allegedly, while he was engaged to another woman. He also used to have threesomes with his ex-fiance and baby mama. Allegedly. Tyler is a freak and his Love is Blind wife Ashley believes that Tyler was only a sperm donor. Social media pics and videos prove that Tyler loved spending time with his kids. I think he's going to leave Ashley so he can be with his children. I also think Tyler is pulling a long con. Tyler is clearly "too good to be true" because he is FAKE! Run from anyone pretending to be perfect. It's often a facade.

Tim is known for dumping his fiance Alex because she took a nap. In reality, he dumped her because he never forgave her for calling him "out [his] God given name." I explain the definition of toxic masculinity and how Tim exhibits toxic traits. I also discuss how ill equipped Alex is to marry anyone right now. She doesn't know how to be a partner. She acted like she was single. Tim makes my skin crawl though and I explain why he's terrible. Avoid men like Timothy! Please.

Netflix's Love is Blind season 7 had some of the worst men in the show's history. I'm dragging Ramses for dumping his fiance Marissa TWO DAYS before their wedding because her "energy is off." Marissa wasn't having sex with Ramses as often as she was when they were in Mexico - you know that's the reason. I also talk about how blaming "energy" is a cheap excuse that doesn't explain the truth. Blaming energy is another way of saying you only care about yourself and you don't want to work it out with someone else because we all know that no one can defend themself when someone says their "energy is off." Don't dump your fiance like this. SMH.

Maddie was in a relationship with her boyfriend Renzo for three years when she got a DM on Instagram asking her: "Do you know your boyfriend is cheating on you?" After Maddie learned about Renzo's extracurricular activities, her cleaning lady spilled all the tea about Renzo's cheating! Emotional abuse and complex trauma aren't talked about nearly enough and friends don't want to listen to you talk about relationship drama. Maddie has learned more about addicts and trauma bonding. She says "do some inner work" to avoid finding yourself in an emotionally abusive and unhealthy relationship with someone who utilizes DARVO tactics: Defend, Attack, Reverse, Victim, Offender. We've learned some new red flags from our interview with Maddie! Thankfully, she's come out on the other side better than ever.  

When someone is taking advantage of you, they will always find ways to keep the relationship going. If you voice your concerns, they'll do something nice! Renzo was a master manipulator whose alcohol addiction was exposed after he moved into Maddie's apartment. He got into rehab but wasn't serious about his sobriety, so Maddie went on a sex strike. Genius move? You decide. Personally, I would have done the same. Then one random Tuesday Maddie receives a shocking DM on Instagram. Yes, it gets worse. Find out how in part 4 of our surprising interview, which drops next Wednesday! 

In Part 1 of "Maddie & Renzo," Maddie met Renzo at a parade and they had a great time. Next, Renzo said he couldn't pay for their first date (during their first date)! We talk about who should pay on a first date in heterosexual, gay, and bi relationships. More importantly, the mind games begin when Renzo makes sure to get Maddie emotionally invested. After he mentions being exclusive and tells Maddie he loves her, Renzo ghosts Maddie after she was nothing but kind, thoughtful, and generous to him. Gasp. I'm still shaking my head.  We'll have more of Maddie's story next week. What a wild ride. 

When Maddie met a handsome man named Renzo, she was on molly… That may or may not explain everything? What do you do when your first date, who you had great sex with, takes you to a restaurant but claims his wallet got stolen?! In hindsight, that was Maddie's hint to run for the hills! 

We have our very first happy ending here on The Worstship. After Ali suggested opening up her relationship as a way to segue into a breakup, she dumped John. She's a thoughtful girlfriend adn bought her white rapper ex-boyfriend thoughtful presents. Very demure, very mindful. Her friends didn't like John and Ali can identify what the red flags were, in hindsight. Now she's been in a great relationship for the past 2 and 1/2 years and we are THRILLED!!

Ali's ex-boyfriend John gave her one of the worst presents anyone could ever give - a picnic in an alley! That's not romance.  When she would talk to John about problems in their relationship, he would blame his ADHD. Sigh. Ali had enough, so she dumped him and he followed her out of state! We get into what happened after the breakup in part 3 of our interview. What the whut?  

After a failed situationship, Ali really wanted an official relationship. Relatable. When Ali was dating John, she found out he was full of surprises - the worst surprises! The man sounds unhinged and broke af. I'm surprised by the bullsh!t Ali dealt with. Do not ever have a picnic with your girlfriend in a dumpster - I'm exaggerating, but there are no words! Seriously. I'm still shaking my head.

We learn that Eve has been scamming men for years!! Find out what Eve's gotten away with (that her roommate knows of) in part 4 of our interview with Alex. Let's just say, Alex got off easy! If you meet a woman who moves like Eve, run for the hills before you get scammed. We're so sorry Alex was scammed, but we hope his story helps you to proceed with caution if you meet someone who seems too good to be true.

We find out what happened when Alex discovered he got scammed by Eve, the girl he was dating. How was Alex targeted? What happened when he had to tell his best friend, who had warned him about Eve, that he was right about her? Why did Eve's roommate want to tell Alex the truth? Find out all of the tea that Eve's roommate spills about Eve's long-running scamming business! Part 4 drops tomorrow!

Alex was dating Eve when Alex's friend told him his girl is bad vibes. He thought his friend was being a hater... until he got scammed by Eve! From receiving nudes multiple days a week to losing his hard earned money, Alex shares how Eve set things up perfectly so she could scam him. Has Eve scammed other people? How long has she been doing this? Find out in part 3 & 4 - coming next week!

Alex was bartending one night in Florida when a scammer named Eve targeted him. Eve invested hours of her time, flirting with Alex while he worked, before she went home with him and did the most in bed. Her scamming had officially begun! This episode ends on a cliffhanger. I couldn't resist. There's more of Alex's story to come, so stay tuned.

In the final portion of our interview with Amanda, we learn that she wanted answers and she found them on Instagram! Find out what she discovered when she made a finsta account and her ex-boyfriend accepted her follow request! She also has great advice for anyone who has been ghosted before. Enjoy!

Thanks for your support, I appreciate you all! We'll return to two episodes/wk starting next week! Stay tuned...

Amanda is a problem solver. After getting ghosted by her boyfriend of eight months, Amanda made a surprise visit to her ex's house AND she made a finsta to find out if he was sleeping with someone else! That's what you do when your ex blocks you on social media! I told y'all Amanda's smart. We also explain why getting ghosted is so hurtful. We'll be back next week with our insightful 4th and final episode about what happened in the aftermath of Amanda getting ghosted for the first time. 

I promise to add intros and outros to all episodes, and to try to find an audio setting that's similar to how loud the volume is in my ads. My audio editing apps wouldn't cooperate with me this morning. Thanks for your patience. Today's episode features part 3 of our one-on-one with Amanda, who was a wonderful guest! We'll bring you part 4 of her episode next week.

Amanda and Andy dated for eight months and had multiple dates each week. Andy even had Amanda meet his friends after only a few weeks! He kept making excuses for why he couldn't meet her friends, though. Was that a red flag? We also get into the hierarchy of what emojis your man should post on your Instagram pics, and why trauma bonding is sexy to me. I also learn what “the starter pack for dates” is, according to Amanda. Why ghost someone right after introducing them to your family? My head is spinning. Enjoy part 2 of our 4-part series.

Amanda's episodes are a good time! Months after ending her engagement, Amanda began dating a rich, tall European. We get into whether or not Amanda was savage for how she dumped her fiancé. We also discuss some of the most important questions of our time, like: Do men look better in person than online? Should you dump someone on FaceTime? Should binge drinking on dates be a dealbreaker, and why do Europeans kiss in a way that scares me?! Enjoy part 1 of our 4-part exclusive interview with Long Island beauty, Amanda.
