It's been a long week. Want some distraction? This week, Alicia has the fabulous and fabulously trashy tale of Lana Turner, a Trashy Divorces All-Star if ever there was one. She had 8 marriages, seven husbands, and a trashy true crime story during her decades of Hollywood glory. Buckle in, friends. This one has it all.

This week, we’re digging into two of the most interesting minds and lives of the 20th century who brought us inventions that certainly shape our day-to-day lives. First up, Stacie has Caresse Crosby, who invented the modern bra as a young woman and went on to live an extraordinary life as part of the Lost Generation. Then, Alicia has screen legend and six-time divorcee Hedy Lamarr, whose clever mind gifted us with the concept of “frequency hopping,” which would lead to GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technology.

This week we’ve got two stories from women with big families, although that’s about where the commonalities stop. Stacie has the winding road that’s been Marie Osmond’s love life, as well as the ups and downs that have made her so relatable. Then Alicia takes us back in time for the surprisingly trashy tale of the life and times of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt and mistress to two of the most powerful men in the world.

This week is all about balance here at Trashy Divorces HQ. Alicia starts us off with one of the real creative heroes of our age, songwriter and legend Carole King, whose marriage and professional partnership to lyricist Gerry Goffin produced some of the most iconic songs of the 1960s. Their divorce was only the beginning of her long and successful career in music.

Then, Stacie takes us to a much darker place with the story of disgraced TV anchor Matt Lauer, whose workplace misbehavior destroyed his career and his marriage. Content warning: This includes some pretty disturbing allegations of sexual violence, and we’re not mad if you’re not up for it.

Welcome to our den of trashy delights, friends! This week, Stacie follows the tumultuous marriages of Richard Gere. His first wife, model Cindy Crawford, was a whopping 17 years younger, and his second divorce, from actress Carey Lowell, featured a Hamptons estate, dueling small town inns, and a cameo by Matt Lauer. Then, Alicia takes us on a journey with a Trashy Divorces All-Star, actress Joan Collins. She’s been married five times, but it’s really only husbands one and four who sucked.

Welcome to Season 8! This week, we have two Dancing Queens with some very public baggage. First up, Alicia has the story of legendary erotic performer and alleged super spy, Mata Hari. A cache of documents that became public in 2017 has prompted a re-evaluation of Mata Hari’s World War I loyalties and activities, and really made German and French intelligence look bad. Then, Stacie brings us to the 1990s, when comedian Ellen Degeneres caused the world to lose its mind by coming out as a lesbian. There were consequences, both for her and her then-girlfriend, actress Anne Heche.
