Trashy Divorces

Actor Donald Sutherland had a storied career in television and film and received tributes from notable people around the world when he passed away last month. As central a character as he was on film and screen, his personal life in young adulthood was no less exciting - his two divorces and notorious early-70's affair with Jane Fonda wouldn't have led anyone to believe that his third walk down the aisle would be the charm, but indeed it was.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

To close out Season 22 - although we're definitely still feeling 22 - Alicia has remixed various episodes about the life and loves of Frank Sinatra, Old Blue Eyes himself - into a mamma jamma supercut of Nancy, Sr., Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, and a ton of trashy goodness.

Trashpandas have been asking for this one for ages, and today, Stacie has the story of two couples who created some of the best pop music ever, and all that's come after the two divorces that ended - for 40 years, anyway - an incredible run by the Swedish supergroup ABBA.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

In celebration of Pride month, Alicia brings out of the Trashy Divorces Classics the tale of the Queen of the Gays – Judy Garland! Her story is heartbreaking, with five marriages and four divorces that were probably a predictable outcome of the horrifying ways she was mistreated as a child.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

It's fair to say that Janet Jackson was always destined to be a performer, even if she would have preferred a law degree. Starting life as the baby sister of The Jackson 5, she first took the stage at age seven, and by her teen years was an accomplished actress, as well. But her efforts to separate herself from her domineering father led her to an unwise first marriage, and her superstardom appears to have led her to some interesting efforts at keeping her private life private.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Phil Hartman married for a third and final time in 1987, and while the marriage was quite rocky, he and wife Brynn Omdahl had two children together. What Phil didn't know was that once they were together, they were both on a tragic countdown that would culminate in Phil's murder and Brynn's death by a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the early morning hours of May 28, 1998. Phil Hartman was just 49 years old.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Comedy legend Phil Hartman spent many, many years establishing himself as a performer before he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live and became an icon. His talents weren't just visible on stage; behind the scenes, he was known as a generous colleague who was as at home in a supporting role as he was starring in a sketch. But his home life was never sanguine. In this Part One episode, Alicia introduces the young Phil Hartman, his early career, and his first two marriages, both of which ended in divorce.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

While we both hope that our ties to Alabama put us on track to be considered luminaries of the state, we'll never be in the same league as actress Tallulah Bankhead. Born into a powerful political dynasty in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1902, she won a trip to New York City at the age of just 15. She took it from there, landing movie roles and a reputation for her stage work that would take her to London, Hollywood, and permanent icon status.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

In the mid-80s, New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen was on top of the world. His album Born in the U.S.A. became the kind of chart topping achievement that even very successful artists are unlikely to ever experience. He was newly married to model and actress Julianne Phillips, and by all rights he should have been a person experiencing pure bliss, but instead, he found himself at war - with himself.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

By the time of his death at just 33, singer Sam Cooke had become a bona fide superstar, as well as being an effective activist in the movement for Black equality in America. He had also been married twice, and it's in the story of his second wife, Barbara Campbell Cooke, where things get very complicated, very fast. Because Barbara did not attend Sam Cooke's funeral alone. She was escorted by his friend, protege, and guitar player Bobby Womack, who drove her there in Sam's car, dressed in Sam's best clothes. And the story only gets worse from there.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Alex Kingston's career really took off in the mid-1990s, first portraying Dr. Elizabeth Corday on NBC's ER, and then in the late 2000s, as River Song, the mysterious friend who knew Doctor Who's future on the hit BBC series. Spoilers! All of it followed a devastating split from her partner of 12 years, and husband of two years, Ralph Fiennes. While playing Hamlet, Fiennes fell in love with the actress playing Hamlet's mother Gertrude - launching a decade long relationship that would itself implode amid infidelity allegations.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Media mogul William Randolph Hearst can be cast as a hero or a villain of the 20th century, and plenty of writers have taken a stab at pinning down his legacy definitively. But one of the lesser remembered aspects of Hearst's life was his abandonment, in 1917, of his wife, Millicent, and their five sons, to spend the rest of his life with actress Marion Davies. One quirk of this arrangement is that Millicent never consented to a divorce from her husband, and while this scandalous state of affairs might have sunk a less powerful person, Hearst's ability to manipulate the vast media empire he owned protected him, and allowed Marion's life and career to flourish on the West Coast.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

It's a big week for Tortured Poets, so we decided to take a long look at history's most famous one: William Shakespeare himself. Alicia explores the mystery around the true identity of the author of some of the world's most famous pieces of literature. Was it really the actor from Stratford-upon-Avon penning Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and all the sonnets, or was that a convenient pseudonym for someone else, or a group of someone elses?Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Beverly Hills 90210 alum Brian Austin Green has grown up in the public eye. His first serious relationship was with Tiffani Amber Thiessen, who eventually became his co-star on the hit series, and then became his ex-girlfriend. Then, he moved on with another castmate, Vanessa Marcil, and while they got engaged and had a baby, they never married. It was with the 13-year-younger Megan Fox that Brian finally walked down the aisle after six years together, and it was with Megan Fox and her new (now former?) partner Machine Gun Kelly that Brian got to experience the joys of divorce a decade later.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

We think of him as Hollywood royalty, a star born of a star, but the truth is that Michael Douglas's father, Kirk Douglas, wasn't famous when Michael was young, and by the time Kirk was a box office winner, he was actively panning his son's college theater efforts to try to dissuade him from the biz. Obviously, Michael didn't heed that advice, and along the way, has managed to enjoy (or not) a very protracted divorce, a long and sometimes bumpy marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the occasional slip of the tongue.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

And we're back, with a brand new episode of Sassy Divorces! Americans are almost certainly familiar with Judge Judy, the no-nonsense jurist who's hosted history's most successful reality TV courtroom since way back in the 1990s. And if you think the TV version of Judy Sheindlin is tough, wait 'till you hear about her in real life. When her first husband didn't take her career seriously, she chose her career. When her second husband didn't take her grief after losing her father seriously, she handed him divorce papers. Well - about that. Turns out even a tough-as-nails judge has a heart, and she and Jerry Sheindlin got married again, and have been enjoying happily ever after for more than 30 years now.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Mary J. Blige has been on top for so long that it's entirely proper to refer to her as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul, but for all of her astonishing professional success in music and beyond, her personal life has featured more than her fair share of obstacles. After a mixed bag of relationships in her 20s, she thought she had finally found the one when she married her manager in 2003 - only to find herself in financial peril years later, when she discovered in divorce proceedings that he'd not only broken her heart, but left her buried in debt, as well.Thank you for another amazing season of Trashy Divorces!

When actors Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek, Fringe) and Jodie Turner-Smith (Queen & Slim, Anne Boleyn) got together in 2018, it seemed like a match made in Hollywood heaven. But this is Trashy Divorces, so you can guess that the wedded bliss didn't last. After a sudden split in 2023, Jodie has been dropping epic, if somewhat cryptic, shade, and Joshua has recently been spotted vacationing with Lupita Nyong'o.Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

When the beloved TV series Full House ended in 1995, actress Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, had spent more of her life on the show than off.

Actor, comedian, and musician Cheech Marin stormed into the public imagination back in the 70's as half of the stoner comedy duo Cheech & Chong, but his career has long since expanded beyond weed-fueled road trip movies. Along the way, he's had ups and downs with creative partner Tommy Chong, gone through two divorces, and opened an art museum celebrating Chicano art.

Actor and filmmaker John Derek may not have been the gifted auteur he imagined himself to be, but his luck with the ladies was undeniable. His four marriages were all to starlets, and his roving eye eventually led to an ugly split from a young Linda Evans, later of Dynasty fame, for an even younger - in fact, a minor at the time - Bo Derek.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Not every big breakup is romantic, as songwriting and performing legends Daryl Hall and John Oates are unfortunately learning in the Chancery Court of Nashville, Tennessee. Friends since college, the duo spent years honing their craft before breaking out big in the 1970s, and giving the world some of the catchiest music around - Maneater, Rich Girl, Kiss on My List, You Make My Dreams, among many others. Their half-century long partnership has existed long enough to see a revival of their early work in the last decade or two, but a recent lawsuit and restraining order may mark the definitive end of the band everybody knew as Hall & Oates.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

James Brown was known by a lot of titles: The Godfather of Soul and The Hardest Working Man in Show Business among them, but as Alicia shares, his personal life was more than a little bit of a catastrophe. From trouble with the law, to trouble with the IRS, to extremely abusive relationships with women, this musical legend's legacy is mixed at best. And was he murdered?Content warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of domestic violence.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

When the Doctor Who television series rebooted on BBC in 2005, the producers were looking for a very specific type of person to play The Doctor's human traveling companion. They wanted a young actress to connect to a new generation of viewers, but also relatably perform the role of an ordinary girl whose adventures with The Doctor connect her to what makes her extraordinary. The selection of actress Billie Piper for the part of Rose Tyler was especially inspired; after all, Billie had been a pop star by age 15, only to walk away from a life she didn't want - and toward the one she did.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

English actress Jane Seymour has been a mainstay in film and television for decades. From her breakout role as Bond girl Solitaire in Live and Let Die to her much loved turn as Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, she's been an elegant and indelible cultural presence, with a slew of awards to show for it. But her love life? Oh, that's been an awful lot rockier. Alicia has the trashy dirt on this almost-All Star.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

We often cite Dumpster Dives as a Patreon benefit, and with so many TD Alums in the news lately, we thought it would be fun to bring one to the main feed. In the Dumpster this week, Alicia talks Grammys magic, of which there was plenty. Stacie takes a musical follow-up with the recent high-profile spat between exes Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Then Alicia has thoughts about the spate of medical issues facing Britain's ruling family - King Charles III, Sarah Ferguson, and Kate Middleton are all off to a terrible start in 2024. Stacie updates us on the ongoing legal dispute between exes Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and the $500 million winery that they just can't seem to quit squabbling over, and Alicia closes us out with some delicious Taylor Swift trashcandy.Want early, ad-free episodes, Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

After finally catching a live performance of Hamilton the Musical this week, Alicia's mind returned to the wild life story of Hamilton antagonist Aaron Burr. Things didn't stop for him after the infamous duel, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's play doesn't even get into Burr's secret family, unacknowledged children, or his much later marriage to - and divorce from - one of the richest women in America. And if the tale is true, there may have been a bit of poetic justice on the part of the Hamilton family there at the end.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

On March 5, 1973, Major League Baseball hosted what had to be the wildest pair of press conferences in its history. Yankees southpaw pitchers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, for reasons that defy any kind of good explanation, revealed to reporters from spring training that they had not merely swapped wives with each other, but lives. Months before, Mike had moved into Fritz's home, with Fritz's wife, two children, and dog, and Fritz had moved into Mike's, with Mike's wife, his two children, and his dog. It set off a firestorm that tanked both of their careers, and left a stadium's worth of bad feelings between the two old friends.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Is there anyone who doesn't love actor Morgan Freeman? Star of iconic films like Driving Miss Daisy and The Shawshank Redemption, he's an Academy Award winner and the possessor of one the most recognizable voices in entertainment. As a celebrity with two divorces under his belt, he's definitely in our wheelhouse, but allegations - denied by all parties - that surfaced after his second divorce, and again during the trial of his granddaughter's murderer, leave a distinctly disturbing aftertaste to this one.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Actor and musician Joey Lawrence roared into Americans' consciousness at the tender age of 5, when he tap danced his way into our hearts on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in 1982. From there, everything was coming up Joey for most of the next two decades: Gimme a Break!, Blossom, and Brotherly Love set his high water mark, but he's worked steadily in his industry ever since. He's also been through two divorces and a bankruptcy - and Stacie thinks he may have benefited from taking some "me time" in between his fast-moving relationships.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

In this second part, Alicia tracks Doris Day's disastrous marriage to Martin Melcher, and the enormous financial hole he left her in when he died at the young age of 52. There was still one more husband to go before Doris would decide she'd had enough of matrimony and turned her focus to a more deserving cause: rescuing animals.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Actress and singer Doris Day built a giant career in Hollywood on the image of the All-American Girl, a perfectly relatable Girl Next Door, virtuous and funny. It was pure spin, with Groucho Marx once quipping, "I've been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin." Doris herself chafed at the limitations of the type-casting and how utterly at odds it was to the life she was actually living. In this first part of her story, Alicia takes us through her start in show business, her first two husbands, and a whole lotta playing the field in 1950s Hollywood.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

If you were a 90s kid, you were around for the emergence of skateboarding as a sport, Tony Hawk as its king. Timing being everything, Tony didn't just master and innovate skateboarding, he also got on board the emerging art form of video games early, launching the lucrative Tony Hawk Pro-Skater series in 1999 - a franchise that continues to this day. While his success as an athlete and entrepreneur are impressive, his luck in love has been a bit more spotty, with three trashy divorces behind him, but a fourth marriage that seems to be going strong.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

All the way back in Season One, Stacie covered the marriage and divorce of Sonny and Cher. But Cher's marital adventures didn't end with Sonny Bono, as Alicia shares. After things fizzled between the pair, Cher went on to marry The Allman Brothers' Gregg Allman - who was unfortunately pretty wrapped up in a cycle of addiction at the time. Things were hard for the couple, and while they gave it a real go (with three divorce filings across their four years!), in the end, they were left merely as co-parents harboring a lot of affection and regret.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Edith Wharton came by her subject matter the old fashioned way: she was born into a prominent New York City family, and was subjected to the mores of the city's high society circle from birth. This did not suit the plain, brainy young Edith even a little bit, much to her mother's horror, but Edith did eventually submit to an extremely unhappy marriage to a diagnosed megalomaniac (!), which ended in, you guessed it, a trashy divorce.We are taking our mid-season break and will be back with you January 10!

Rascal Flatts is one of the most celebrated country music acts of the 21st century, but when the band announced that it would break up after a farewell tour in January 2020, the story took a bunch of unexpected turns. Obviously, the pandemic hit and the tour wasn't in the cards, but then it appears that guitarist Joe Don Rooney's life fell all the way apart in the ensuing months. The farewell tour is still TBD at best, but his 15-year-long marriage is all the way over, and it's anyone's guess what comes next for the man and the band.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

2023 has been a monster year for breakups, with celebrities (Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, anyone?), politicians (Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!), musicians (almost too many to choose: Cardi B and Offset are done; Kacey Musgraves broke up with her longtime boyfriend), all hitting the escape hatch. Breakups are hard, but we are here to say: We're for it! If your relationship isn't giving you what you need, there's no shame in deciding to leave and go live your best life. That's exactly what Alicia wishes that Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, wife of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, had done in their doomed marriage a century ago. This is a reprise of a Season One episode, rewritten and re-recorded.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

In the 1980s, filmmaker John Hughes was the king of a certain kind of cinema, and his very favorite leading lady was teen idol Molly Ringwald. With a zest for the parts Hughes had written for her and a refreshing atypical beauty, Molly became one of the most famous faces of the era, and the performer of generation-defining characters. Her path departed from Hughes's after Pretty in Pink, and the years since have taken her places she never expected going - including through a tough divorce.Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?
