673. Taylor Frankie Paul & The Public Lives of the Mormon Wives

Let's drill down on what's happening in the legal machinations between Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen. First of all, their long-suffering judge has appointed a Guardian Ad Litem to represent the interests of their child - and Dakota spent weeks not paying his share of that bill. Dakota also has new legal representation: the same lawyer used by Tate Paul, Taylor's ex-husband, as he seeks custody of their two kids. All in all, not at all a comfortable situation for Taylor.

It's a reality TV summer at TDHQ, and we can't stop following the Taylor Frankie Paul saga. If you'll recall, we recently covered her rise to fame as a TikTok personality, and how her cohort became Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Now, her legal dramas are continuing to mount, with her ex-husband seeking custody of their two children, while ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen continues to have primary custody of their one child. But whatever the circumstances, you can count on TFP to always be posting through it! Sponsors Upgrade your every day! Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com/TRASHY.

In the decade since she joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley has been through some things. There are the robberies, but also lawsuits, debts, and a public course of dealing with PTSD - something that her husband PK pretty openly found annoying. Put it all together and it's no surprise that their marriage hit a breaking point.  Here's the Homeless Not Toothless clip we talked about.  Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Dorit Kemsley has hit the ultimate rough patch with her husband of a decade, the potentially shady British businessman Paul 'PK' Kemsley.

As she was idly scrolling Bluesky a few days ago, Alicia (@alicianwonderland.bsky.social) came across the ultimate Mad-Lib of a skeet: "roald dahl's grandson is a former london-based journalist who once freelanced for the daily dot and then married princess raiyah of jordan during covid but then got divorced and moved to the US where he became a cop in south carolina and just married an american tiktoker."  Ask and ye shall receive, as they say, and Trash Pandas, believe it or not, it kind of all makes sense.
