Trashy Divorces

It's Pride Month, so this week Stacie takes a look at the life and loves of actor and comedian Rosie O'Donnell. Then Alicia walks us through one of her favorite pandemic-era brain escapes, the trashy lives of the cast of Netflix's 'Selling Sunset.'

If it isn't clear by now, Alicia will never get enough of the trashy behavior of the Court of Queen Elizabeth I. Oh, the trash and the scandal!

This week, we check in with pony boy/puppy boy Robert Dudley, late of The Original Staircase Murder fame, and his other lovers, Douglas Sheffield (who is not a man) and Lettice Knollys (who is not a lettuce). These Tudors get themselves into all kinds of knots, all under the watchful eye of Bessie I. You think things are weird with your ex? Just you wait.

Some unexpected issues mean you get a couple of Patreon faves! First up, Alicia has Truman Capote's dirtiest deed: the publication of La Cote Basque, 1965, the short story in which he knifed every single one of his "swans," betraying and humiliating some of the most important figures in his coveted high-society circle. Speaking of cautionary tales, Stacie has the high flying life and times of celebrity divorce lawyer Marvin Mitchelson, who pioneered the concept of palimony and never missed a chance to promote himself in the press.

This week we have two women who simply refuse to live in the boxes the world tries to put them in. First, Stacie has the story of author Glennon Doyle, whose first two book releases coincided with marital calamities that threatened to derail her career. Then, Alicia has the story of 1960s It Couple, Barbra Streisand and Elliott Gould.

As we get our TDHQ2 studio dialed in, we're bringing you a few of our favorite things! First up, Alicia has the true crime tale of "The Ice Cream Blonde" and "Hot Toddy," actress and businesswoman Thelma Todd. Her mysterious 1935 death put a harsh light on some of Hollywood's mobsters and shakers.

Then Stacie has a political sex scandal so amazing that it took almost a century for the full contours to be revealed. Warren G. Harding wasn't just America's 29th president; he was also an inveterate skirt chaser and, thankfully, a prolific and wide open letter writer. He may also have had a goofy name for his manly appendage.

Hello friends! We're having a slight schedule change this week and bringing you Trashy Royals today, and our normally scheduled Trashy Divorces episode on Wednesday*. This week, Alicia has the incredible story of Lady Jane Grey, England's Nine Days' Queen, who got caught in the succession rigmarole that characterized the decade between Henry VIII's death in 1547 and the ascension of Elizabeth I in 1558. This one features sickly King Edward VI, future Queen "Bloody" Mary I, and a host of political machinations that can only come from the gangland-style family intrigue we've come to know and love in the Court of the Tudors.

We'll be back Wednesday with your regularly scheduled Trashy Divorces, and then back to the usual release schedule from there.

*As you'll hear in the intro, we're mid-move and still working on sound treating our new recording room. In the interest of audio quality, we thought something recorded at the old space would be a nicer listen.

This week we're taking a look at the last of Henry VIII's beheaded wives, Katherine Howard, as well as Jane Boleyn, sister-in-law of Anne and a lady-in-waiting for many of Henry's queens, until he killed her, too.

Alicia wraps up her "Henry VIII Sandwich" (phrasing!) with the story of perhaps his happiest wife, Anne of Cleves. Married just six months, Anne was able to live out her days in relative comfort after offending her royal fiance days before their wedding. Then, Stacie has the trashy divorce of 'Girl, Wash Your Face' author Rachel Hollis, whose 2020 split from husband Dave Hollis was only the beginning of her problems.

With this episode coming out on May 19, it was incumbent on Alicia to bring you the story of the final days of Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded in the Tower of London on this date 485 years ago.

This is the first of more 60 Trashy Tudors episodes that we've recorded for Patreon, and Alicia gets into all the Tudor dirt, how Anne was done wrong, and the players who contributed to her tragic and untimely downfall.
