Trashy Divorces

Two Youtubers promise their followers the secret of true love. But when some of their believers cross the line from love to obsession, the Youtubers are accused of running a cult. As they fight for their new way of life, their followers face a choice too. They have been promised a chance to find The One, but how far is too far?

This week, Alicia has the little-known story of Gilded Age heiress Huguette Clark, a wealthy recluse whose portfolio of unoccupied mansions fascinated the world when she died in 2011 at the age of 104. Then Stacie takes us through the increasingly disturbing behavior of Ye (formerly Kanye West), who has spent the week triggering the public, and likely his family, with social media harassment and threats.

You asked for it! At long last, Alicia has a made-for-reality-TV story, the recent comings and goings of TLC's biggest family, the Browns of Sister Wives. There's husband Kody, wife Meri, wife Janelle, wife Christine, and wife Robyn, plus the 18 children they share! It's an atypical family, to be sure, but since 2010, millions of viewers have followed the ups and downs and transitions of the family. Most recently, Christine, once the third wife, has moved on, and we're wondering if it isn't the first of several Trashy Breakups for Kody Brown.

This week, Alicia has the story of the most exciting marriage that never was: That of Lauren Bacall, recent widow of Humphrey Bogart, and Frank Sinatra, who idolized Bogie but wanted to keep the relationship under wraps. When Hollywood super-agent Irving 'Swifty' Lazar inadvertently spilled to gossip columnist Louella Parsons, Lauren faced the wrath of Frank - and was saved from an undoubtedly unhappy marriage.

This week, Alicia has perhaps the spiderwebby-est story she's ever told, with the 1960s marriage and divorce of actors Brooke Hayward and Dennis Hopper. Then, Stacie covers the high profile romances of actress Laura Dern, including her marriage and divorce from musician Ben Harper.

When news broke that a Spanish princess was ending her marriage, Stacie's first thought was, "Spain still has a monarchy?" It does! And Princess Cristina, sixth-in-line to the throne, has a heck of a back story in this week's Trashy Breakups.

This week, Stacie gushes about two of her favorite actors, and Alicia raves about one of her favorite women of the Gilded Age. Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito's 40-year-long romance was an inspiration, but so is their post-breakup story. American heiress Jennie Jerome was locked out of New York high society, so she became a doyenne of the British aristocracy instead - and mother of a future Prime Minister - by marrying to become Jennie Jerome Churchill.

Alicia pulls a spiderweb she discovered on another of her podcasts, Done & Dunne, about perhaps the reigning champion of divorce, socialite Barbara 'Bobo' Sears Rockefeller. When Bobo died at 91 in 2008, the New York Sun remembered her with this headline: "Bobo Rockefeller, 91, Married Well, Divorced Better." An ex-wife of both a Sears and a Rockefeller, she was a prominent personality in the 1950s when she had both a well-publicized "Cinderella Wedding" to Standard Oil heir Winthrop Rockefeller, and a Divorce of the Century from him two years later.

You can listen to Done & Dunne on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

This week, we have two subjects who take very different views of the prying eyes of an adoring public. Actor Harry Hamlin and his wife, actress Lisa Rinna, seem to delight in public rehashings of the ancient history of his two divorces, to the apparent chagrin of his exes. Actor Robert De Niro would probably prefer to see the prying industrial complex pushed off a cliff, but in his recent divorce from Grace Hightower, there was nothing he could do to keep private eyes from watching him.
