S19E16: Send Me An Angel | Corey Feldman
27 August 2023 - 1 hour 1 min80's heartthrob Corey Feldman is an integral piece of film history from the decade. In movies like Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand By Me, and - alongside the second half of "The Two Coreys," Corey Haim - The Lost Boys, he was simply everywhere and seemingly in everything. Behind the scenes, however, his story was a much harder road - an abusive family, childhood sexual exploitation, and increasingly dire substance misuse. His adulthood, including two divorces and a just-announced third, is very clearly influenced by that childhood stolen by Hollywood and fame.
Here's the very odd Today Show performance of Corey Feldman and his Angels (YouTube link).

S30E7: Gary Coleman
Child actor Gary Coleman made a big cultural mark on the 1980s in his role as Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes - "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" was his notable catchphrase on the show. But the young man who emerged from the series in 1986 had a hard road ahead of him. Because of health issues stemming from his earliest days, he retained his childlike stature and appearance, and the $18 million he had earned as the highest paid child actor of the decade had been pilfered by none other than his parents. His life never got less complicated. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

S30E6: Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds
With the passing of Loni Anderson this week, we pulled one of the trashiest divorces out of the vault for an encore this week. Oh, the 1980s were a weird time, and Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds might have seemed like they could have gone the distance. However, it was not to be. It is a much bleaker portrait of a six-year long marriage, and a divorce without an end. It is also a story of surviving and thriving after an abusive relationship, and we applaud Loni for that from TDHQ!

S30E5: Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen
When longtime tennis partners - kidding, they were married - Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen announced that they were putting their racquets down back in April 2024, they noted that they had jointly filed for divorce in 2023. Which raises a question about why they chose to announce their split at that particular moment. Turns out, it might have to do with the release of a memoir from a former co-star - Rebel Wilson.

S30E4: Julius Caesar and His Wives | Cossutia, Cornelia, Pompeia, and Calpurnia
In this Trashy Royals crossover, Alicia reveals all the dirt about the OG of dictators, Julius Ceasar and his four-ish wives. Each of his wives served a needed purpose for Ceasar in their own time, and these stories get trashy! From young love to power alliances, this is a whole Roman Times soap opera featuring our wives, Cossutia, Cornelia, Pompeia, and Calpurnia. But that is not all – thrown in a little Cleopatra too, and this one becomes a legendary tale.

S30E3: Slash
Before he was conquering the music world with Guns N' Roses back in the late '80s and early '90s, guitarist Slash was Saul Hudson. London born and Los Angeles raised, his entertainment-industry parents did not provide the stability that a teen in the '70s and '80s would have benefited from. Consequently, young Slash found himself misusing a number of things, including an early marriage or two, and it took him more than a little while to find himself.

S30E2: Hulk Hogan (A Trashy Divorces Encore)
It was a tough week for celebrity deaths - Ozzy Osbourne, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and, of course, Hulk Hogan, who shook off his moral coil at the age of 71 on Thursday. We covered the Hulkster back in 2019, and in the handful of years since, he didn't stay out of the limelight. Most recently, he ripped his shirt off at the Republican National Convention as he endorsed another very public sex pest.
