676. Coco Chanel | Another War, Spy Career, and a Comeback

In this continuation of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we take the legendary designer through the Roaring 20s to the mid-1930s. This was an action-packed time in her life, including even more expansion into a fragrance line, an entrée into London high society, a few high-profile love affairs, two bad business deals, and a love nest in Scotland as well. Ride along for this decade plus in her life, possibly the best one as the shadows of war are creeping in for our finale, in which Coco will do a little bit more than dabble into fascism.

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.
