Shakira
Shakira isn't just a global pop phenomenon - she's also the rare Trashy Divorces subject who has never actually been married. But two very long relationships, scandalous breakups, and a shadowy hacker group's revelations about tax avoidance make this story a perfect fit anyway.

Tallulah Bankhead (Trashy Divorces Classics)
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.

Bruce Springsteen and Julianne Phillips
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.

Sam Cooke, Barbara Campbell Cooke, and Bobby Womack
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.

Dumpster Dive | Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd, Ben Folds Five!, and Billy Porter
This week, we're taking the opportunity to catch up on some recent splits that may not have generated enough coverage to produce a full episode on their own. Alicia walks us through the recent divorce of country music stars Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd, Stacie explains how piano man Ben Folds has fulfilled the prophecy, and Alicia closes us out with the six year marriage of Pose actor Billy Porter and his ex-husband Adam Smith.

Customer Reviews
Overall love it but I do have an issue
I started listening to these ladies when I wanted something lighter to listen to than the true crime podcasts I’d been playing (one can only take so much blood, death, and narcissistic psychosis). These two, especially Stacey, generally crack me up, and I find all the background information they discuss in the lives of the people they present really interesting. It’s thoroughly entertaining! However, after hearing a few recent episodes, I decided to go back and listen from the very beginning, and I noticed that in many of the episodes, at least of earlier years, Alicia really goes off on political rants (perhaps after imbibing a bit) and it’s been a bit cringeworthy at times. I’m pretty middle of the road politically, leaning more left on some issues and more right on others, and I’ve known all kinds of people with all kinds of political leanings, most of whom have added something positive (big or small) to my life. I’ve learned to accept and respect people regardless of their political beliefs after befriending wonderful people who I absolutely disagree with politically. I don’t hold it against them. However, after hearing some of the (seemingly drunken?) rants Alicia has gone on in some episodes, I get the feeling she despises anyone who doesn’t agree with her 100% concerning politics — and this would likely be me. This has been a turnoff, and it’s kind of put a damper on listening to this otherwise great podcast. Do I really want to listen to someone who may hate me if they were to meet me? My unsolicited advice: Remember that not everyone believes as you do, political differences don’t make either person a bad human being, and perhaps stick to the trashy divorce story and leave the politics at the door. I get that it’s your podcast and you can do whatever you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you SHOULD do it. I realize you probably have tons of listeners who totally agree with you, and that’s fine, but the world is a big place and there are lots of people who don’t. That’s fine too. You otherwise seem really nice, you’re funny, and your shows are really entertaining. I’d hate for people who would enjoy your podcast to miss out on it because they were turned off.
Wonderful show.
Listening to Stacie and Alicia is like being in a kitchen or living room with friends and sharing stories about celebs. Fun show.
Entertaining and Interesting
I got introduced to Trashy Divorces by listening to the Done & Dunne podcast. I originally did not think that TD would be my thing, I couldn’t of been more wrong! This show is a gem, the chemistry between the hosts is awesome and without meaning to be condescending, they’re kind of adorable, their research is impeccable and I love that they mix up the eras of the famous divorces. They treat their subject matter with empathy when deserved and also humor when deserved. An extra bonus is the occasional appearance/mention of their feisty cats. Pour yourself a glass of wine and give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
