The Gabor sisters were some of the most iconic cultural figures in the second half of the 20th century, having arrived on our shores from Nazi-occupied Hungary, where they experienced loss and engaged in heroic resistance. Along with their mother, Jolie, sisters Eva, Zsa Zsa, and Magda, stormed the mid-century zeitgeist and lived through extremely complicated family dynamics, as well as complicated romantic entanglements - including, between them all - 23 marriages, 18 divorces, two widowhoods, and two annulments. They were allies and rivals, poly-linguists, artisans, and entrepreneurs. But mostly, they were women possessed of a drive to succeed and an eternal willingness to bend their stories to suit the moment at hand. This month, Trashy Divorces is proud to present the lives and loves of The Glamorous Gabors, an eight-episode arc bringing these four amazing women into focus in the 21st century. The Glamorous Gabors was researched and written by Melanie Shawn, with our deep gratitude. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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!

Back in 2021, Stacie was captivated by the tale of betrayal told by Barbara Berry, the first wife of superlawyer Johnnie Cochran. For years, he juggled two families and an eye-popping number of other mistresses, while also subjecting Barbara to physical and emotional abuse more directly.

In this Encore Plus episode, Alicia's got the intense story of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, which we first aired back in September of 2019. Whitney, of course, was an incredible talent whose path was in many ways set by the agendas of those around her. Her 14-year-long marriage to Bobby Brown was ultimately catastrophic, and her untimely death was tragic beyond words.

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 backstory 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. After peering into RFK Jr's broken youth, Alicia brings us right up to the present day (at least, to the start of 2023) 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!

Oh, to be young again! Today, Stacie travels back to a simpler time, a time when Alec Baldwin had not shot anyone to death and his second wife - at least to Stacie's knowledge - was just a normal American girl who found love with a famous actor 26 years her senior. Like you do. In today's two-part Encore Plus story, we have the truly Trashy Divorce of Alec Baldwin and Kim Bassinger, featuring the Voicemail Heard 'Round The World. Then, we pluck a follow-up from our Patreon vault from a few years later, when the scandal of Hilaria Baldwin, nee Hilary Thomas, lit the internet on fire. This one's fun, friends. Happy New Year!

As much as we love a Vegas wedding and a Reno divorce - or a Tijuana divorce - the truth is that for a sparkling 25 or so years in the mid-20th century, Alabama abolished any residency requirements in divorce matters, and cheap, quickie divorces became a mainstay for Alabama lawyers. And as you would expect, this wild west environment drew a lot of high profile names - including some TD Alums - to the state, if only briefly.

This week we continue our Onassis saga by exploring some of the fallout within our main players after the wedding of Aristotle and Jackie. Two lovely ladies really get the shaft in this rocky time period, Lee Radziwill and Christina Onassis. Jackie's sister Lee definitely has a period of tumult with accidents and hospitalizations, but not to worry, her new lover Peter Beard will be on the scene soon enough and the two will be spending a lot of time at Grey Gardens with her relations, Big Edie Bouvier and Little Edie Bouvier. Another gal having a tough time is Aristotle's daughter, Christina Onassis. We explore much more about her childhood and her very first love and marriage too. They are not with the same man.

Holy cats! In Part Eight of this series, we arrive at Aristotle's second marriage to Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. It is not exactly a blessed occasion, and no one is happy about it, except Ari's sister Artemis, who makes a big comeback in this episode. Everyone else in Ari's life, including his mistress Maria Callas, and his children all have a whole lot of feelings about grand affair. Jackie's sister and mother also have very strong feelings, which they do not hold back. The whole Kennedy clan is none too pleased either, even though Teddy will step up to negotiate the marriage contract. Calamity abounds in this one – take cover and enjoy the show!

Maria Callas is full in love with her Aristo, but she is not the only lady in Aristotle's life. He does frequent brothels and will begin an affair with Princess Lee Radziwill – both enrage Maria. Also included, so many spiderwebs – Prince Rainer, Richard Burton, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, and Elsa Maxwell all make an appearance.

In this week's double Trashy Royals, past-us brings an episode out of the Trashy Divorces side of the world, as it really does all connect in history. It is back to April 2021 when we took a trip into the late 16th Century to do some witch hunting with King James VI of Scotland, long before he makes it to England as James I. His new hobby is no way a valid pursuit of anything worthwhile - just a king's manic fevered dream which is pretty terrible for the old, poor, or single women of both Scotland and England.

Hollywood legend Lena Horne changed what was possible for African-Americans performers in America. After a difficult childhood, she found a key ally in her father, who made clear to studio head Louis B. Mayer that he could hire a maid for his daughter - she would not need to play one on screen. Alternating between Hollywood, which was depressing because of its limitations on Black actors, and a thriving nightclub career, she built a prolific and unique career trajectory that saw her become a prominent voice in the Civil Rights Movement, and a central figure in the Hollywood spiderwebs that Alicia loves so much.

While we both hope that our ties to Alabama put us on track to be considered luminaries of the state, we'll never be in the same league as actress Tallulah Bankhead. Born into a powerful political dynasty in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1902, she won a trip to New York City at the age of just 15. She took it from there, landing movie roles and a reputation for her stage work that would take her to London, Hollywood, and permanent icon status.

Media mogul William Randolph Hearst can be cast as a hero or a villain of the 20th century, and plenty of writers have taken a stab at pinning down his legacy definitively. But one of the lesser remembered aspects of Hearst's life was his abandonment, in 1917, of his wife, Millicent, and their five sons, to spend the rest of his life with actress Marion Davies. One quirk of this arrangement is that Millicent never consented to a divorce from her husband, and while this scandalous state of affairs might have sunk a less powerful person, Hearst's ability to manipulate the vast media empire he owned protected him, and allowed Marion's life and career to flourish on the West Coast.

It's a big week for Tortured Poets, so we decided to take a long look at history's most famous one: William Shakespeare himself. Alicia explores the mystery around the true identity of the author of some of the world's most famous pieces of literature. Was it really the actor from Stratford-upon-Avon penning Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and all the sonnets, or was that a convenient pseudonym for someone else, or a group of someone elses?

Mary J. Blige has been on top for so long that it's entirely proper to refer to her as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, but for all of her astonishing professional success in music and beyond, her personal life has featured more than her fair share of obstacles. After a mixed bag of relationships in her 20s, she thought she had finally found the one when she married her manager in 2003 - only to find herself in financial peril years later, when she discovered in divorce proceedings that he'd not only broken her heart, but left her buried in debt, as well.

When actors Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek, Fringe) and Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim, Anne Boleyn) got together in 2018, it seemed like a match made in Hollywood heaven. But this is Trashy Divorces, so you can guess that the wedded bliss didn't last. After a sudden split in 2023, Jodie has been dropping epic, if somewhat cryptic, shade, and Joshua has recently been spotted vacationing with Lupita Nyong'o.

With the publication of Walter Isaacson's Elon Musk biography, Stacie's been following up on some of the highs, lows, and general mayhem in the life and career of Elon Musk since we first covered him back in May of 2021. We really just scratch the surface on our update - a comprehensive telling of the last couple of years would easily be as long as Isaacson's entire book, and then we re-air our original origin story of Elon Musk.

Some stories have so much trash it's hard to know where to begin, but for scion of the Standard Oil fortune Hugh D. Auchincloss, it's hard to know even where to stop. Auchincloss, about as blue blood as you can get, was married three times, and through that particular journey, ended up being step-father to the future Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwell, from his third marriage, as well as the writer Gore Vidal, via his second marriage. It's this second marriage, to the former Nina Gore, that opened him to the later ponderings of step-son Gore Vidal, and his particularly poisonous pen.

What a Creep: Special Ep “Creep or Not a Creep?”Special Guest: Alicia of Trashy DivorcesSeason 21, Episode 8While cohort Sonia Mansfield invades Ireland with her combination vacation/work trip--the Creepy train keeps moving with our special guest, Alicia of the Trashy Divorces podcast, to first talk about the Joe Jonas and Steve Harvey divorces, which sent us reeling. Then, we get into our main subject--writer Truman Capote (1924-1984) and whether or not he was a Creep. From his peripatetic childhood to being the king of party givers to his eventual decline due to alcoholism--Capote lived a BIG life.We discuss his early writing career, his friendship with Harper Lee, the making of In Cold Blood, and his betrayal of his “swans.” He achieved the greatest heights as a writer but died bitter, broken, and lonely at the age of 59. Harper Lee (1926-2016) became a recluse who only released one book after her Pulitzer Prize-winning To Kill a Mockingbird with 2015's controversial Go Set a Watchman. (Margo has an interesting story about a Creepy computer guy and Harper Lee!) Alicia's other podcasts are Trashy Royals and Done & Dunne.

We 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. Enjoy a margarita, if that's your thing, and have a safe and happy long Labor Day weekend. Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Well 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.

This 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. Enter: Trashy Royals, a new podcast dropping every Thursday that explores the enduring truth of all cultures: our betters have always been among our worst. Please enjoy this Trashy Royals episode, The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, and listen to Trashy Royals wherever you get your podcasts! 05. The Affair of the Diamond Necklace Unsurprisingly, the French Revolution didn't happen particularly spontaneously. Years of financial mismanagement, poor crops, massive unemployment, and a swelling population in Paris itself all contributed to a growing dissatisfaction with King Louis XVI and the monarchy in general. The King's cause wasn't helped at all by a lingering suspicion that his wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, was a profligate spender and an Austrian spy, but Marie Antoinette's reputation took a calamitous hit in 1785, when an ambitious con artist named Jeanne de la Motte hatched a plan to acquire one of the most expensive jewelry pieces ever crafted. Playing on the vanity and avarice of one of her lovers, Cardinal Louis de Rohan, Jeanne and her crew succeeded in boosting a piece worth $2 million – and forever ended any goodwill the French public had toward their Queen.

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.

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.
