S20E04: Elon Musk Redux (Trashy Divorces Classics) Oct 22, 2023

Show notes

With the publication of Walter Isaacson's Elon Musk biography, Stacie's been following up on some of the highs, lows, and general mayhem in the life and career of Elon Musk since we first covered him back in May of 2021. We really just scratch the surface on our update - a comprehensive telling of the last couple of years would easily be as long as Isaacson's entire book, and then we re-air our original origin story of Elon Musk.

S20E02: RHONJ's Dina Manzo Oct 15, 2023

Show notes

Bravo's The Real Housewives franchise has lent many things to our culture: feuds, fights, memes, and a constellation of people who've come to be known as Bravolebrities. For original New Jersey cast member Dina Manzo, the experience sparked genuine conflict with her sister, also a cast member, and Dina became the first Housewife to leave a series of her own volition. But that's the beginning, not the end, of a story that involves a long divorce, organized crime, and even violence.

S20E01: Christina Ricci Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

Content Warning: Child abuse, domestic violence

Actress Christina Ricci has been entertaining us on the big and small screen since she was just ten years old. While many child stars chafe under the pressure of early stardom, for Christina, escaping to a film set was a welcome diversion from her parents' troubled marriage and eventual divorce. While her career would become a sustained success as an adult, her own first marriage turned into a nightmare scenario she's still struggling with, even well into a happy second marriage.

If you or a loved one needs support, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline online or by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

S19E24: The Best Is Yet To Come | Tony Bennett, Part Two Sep 24, 2023

Show notes

The years after Tony's second marriage were not happy ones for him. His career took a downturn as Americans' musical tastes changed, and he coped with the dislocation in extremely unhealthy ways, which crashed his marriage, too. Finding himself entirely adrift, he did the most vulnerable thing a struggling parent could do: he called his adult sons and asked for help. It was the turning point in a life and career that would sparkle for decades to come.

We'll be back for Season 20 on October 11! See you then!

S19E23: I Left My Heart in San Francisco | Tony Bennett, Part One Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

By nearly all accounts, crooner Tony Bennett was one of the greats. Not just as a singer and performer, but in the ways he treated people, the causes he chose to champion, and his endless willingness to contribute his talents to charity events. But even the greats have rough spots! There may be very few people with an unkind word to say about Tony Bennett, but his two ex-wives could surely be among them. Alicia has his background, lessons from his World War II experiences, and his first marriage in Part One of our Tony Bennett story.

S19E22: Mr. Perfectly Fine | Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Sep 17, 2023

Show notes

That an actor and a musician would be divorcing isn't really news, but in the case of Jonas Brothers frontman Joe Jonas and his recently filed divorce from wife of four years, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, a dumb PR move turned it into a huge story. Did Joe mean for the tabloids to run stories suggesting that Sophie is a bad mom? We may never know, but this Jonas Brother has managed to give himself a huge black eye.

S19E21: Radio Song | Rush Limbaugh Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

Rush Limbaugh ascended to heights of conservative talk radio in the 80s and 90s, introducing a brand of discourse in America most notable for its toxicity. While there was a willing audience for his bilge, it's clear from his three divorces, substance misuse, and legal issues, that his notoriety wasn't without costs.

S19E20: The Scientist | Carl Sagan, Part Two Sep 10, 2023

Show notes

After Carl Sagan's first divorce, from biologist Lynn Margulis, he was to find love again. And, in a massive betrayal, yet again. Look, the guy indisputably made big contributions to science and the public's understanding of it, but his personal life was a mess!

S19E19: The Scientist | Carl Sagan, Part One Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

Astronomer Carl Sagan was an ever-present voice in American culture for several decades in the latter half of the 20th century, sometimes commenting on topics far beyond the scope of his space science training. If you think that suggests some ego, you would be right, and that attribute or character flaw (depending on your perspective) certainly impacted his ability to enjoy happy marriages. In this first of a two-part story, we get into Carl's background and his first marriage, to pioneering biologist Lynn Margulis.
