In 2008, Joe Francis plead no contest to child abuse and prostitution. Today, he lives in Mexico, in a palatial resort estate often frequented by the Kardashians.

While you might know the Baekeland family for their plastics empire, in the 1980s -- they became known for a scandal filled with incest and murder.

This is the sordid and tragedy filled story of one of high-society's biggest scandals: the story of Barbara Daly and her son Tony Baekeland.

Murders. Overdoses. Suicides. Assaults. This was the face of Hollywood's Golden Age before the Doom Book took over the scene...

It was the one list you didn't want to be on. Decades before McCarthy, there was William H. Hays and the Doom Book, a list that destroyed the careers of some of Hollywood's most gifted...and most scandalous. 

In this episode, we're talking the Hays Code, the rape and murder of Virginia Rappe, and Hollywood's most salacious controversies. 

What was pre-code Hollywood really like? What did we lose in the aftermath? It's a story as twisted as Fatty Arbuckle's 3 back to back murder trials, and it's all here in this episode of Scandal Queens.

WARNING: This episode is NSFW. Lots of ranting ahead.

This week, we close the chapter on Lou Taylor and lay it all out in the open - how did Lou Taylor build her business, how did she trap the Spears family and a revolving door of bad decisions (and a conservatorship)? 

It's all in this episode, PLUS: Ariana Grande is tour and looking mini. Will this single gal finish her 41-date engagement? And Jeffrey Epstein's former sex assistant is threatening to release a tell-all book. Is that allowed? My 2+ min ran on the subject says no. 

Listen to all here, in the final chapter of our Lou Taylor saga (for now).
