Trashy Divorces

Last fall, daytime TV watchers were either thrilled or scandalized by The Daily Mail's revelation that GMA3 co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes - both married at the time - had leapt the bounds of friendship and were canoodling in New York City bars and taking romantic getaways to a cabin upstate. ABC pulled the pair from the air within days, and they'd exited the network entirely by early 2023, but their respective divorces would take more time, and heartache, to complete.

Aaron Spelling spent decades at the pinnacle of television production in America, spearheading cultural touchstones like Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Dynasty, and, for today's story, the 90s classic Beverly Hills, 90210. The show launched numerous young stars' careers, some more successfully than others. Actor Ian Ziering portrayed Steve Sanders in all 10 seasons of the show, but his life and career have been a bit turbulent. A short first marriage overlapped the show, and a longer, but now over, marriage overlapped his time starring in the cult movie series Sharknado. Alicia has all the trashy details.

Content note: Discussion of suicide.

For a vanishingly brief few years in the late 80s and early 90s, America fell in love with a French actor most known for his small stature and high excitement at new arrivals. When Herve Villechaize opened Aaron Spelling's Fantasy Island with the exclamation, "The plane! The plane!" the public knew they were about to treated to another charming adventure featuring stars old and new. Unfortunately for Herve, his ego and excesses - he claimed to have slept with 35 women while filming a Bond movie in the 70s, during his first marriage - would get in the way of his continuing stardom, and increasing medical complications would rob his life of joy.

When Bravo launched The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it couldn't have foreseen that it was launching its first Housewife inmate, but that's exactly what happened to Teresa Giudice and her husband, Joe.

If you were of a certain age in the 1990s, it's highly likely that Tia Mowry and her sister Tamera played a pivotal role in your development as an adolescent. The twins starred in Sister, Sister, an anchor of ABC's TGIF lineup, from 1995-1999, and became major parts of the zeitgeist of the era. Both have gone on to successful careers in entertainment, and both have married and had children of their own. But Tia shocked the world in October 2022, when she announced the end of her marriage to fellow actor Cory Hardrict - sparking a divorce fight that got uglier than she could have anticipated.

The US National Women's Soccer Team is mostly known for its dominance in the field, but lately, a cheating scandal has emerged that's rocking the sport. Not cheating at sports, mind you, but the more personal kind. Soccer power couple Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger, married since 2019, are suddenly divorcing, and it looks like it has everything to do with One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush.

Hollywood legend Joan Bennett didn't always want to follow in her family's footsteps as an actor. The youngest of the Bennett Sisters, her siblings Constance and Barbara were already film stars by the time Joan determined to hang a shingle as an interior designer, but motherhood got in the way. After her first short marriage and divorce, she had an extra mouth to feed, which launched her on a decades' long career that spanned dozens of films, including Puttin' on the Ritz, She Wanted a Millionaire, and Little Women, where she played Amy alongside Katherine Hepburn's Jo. But her storied career hit a significant obstacle in 1951, when her third husband opened fire on her manager, believing them to be having an affair, and Joan, more than either man, was sidelined for the scandal. Until a little show called Dark Shadows premiered, anyway.

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. Get ready for a bit of a Forrest Gump journey through mid-20th century America, but in this case, a rich Forrest Gump with serious erectile dysfunction.
