677. Alan Dershowitz | Early Career and Divorce
Alan Dershowitz is in many ways the sort of person that Alicia would describe as a spider in the spiderwebs we indulge in. He's represented Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson, and OJ Simpson - all three TD alums - and has also managed across his career to push boundaries when it comes to legal ethics and attacks on opponents. Unfortunately, Alan's first wife learned what it's like to be against him in a courtroom when they divorced in the mid-1970s, and it was brutal.

676. Coco Chanel | Another War, Spy Career, and a Comeback
In the conclusion of the life and times of Coco Chanel, we travel through the years 1936 to the end of her life in 1971, and a little beyond too. With the passing of time, more has come to light about Coco’s affair with a German spy, and her associated work with the Nazis through WW2. Surprisingly, there are no real consequences ultimately from this time, and after laying low for a while, Coco has a whole second act and comeback in the United States. She is a lady with a complicated life and a complicated legacy. Sponsors Upgrade your every day! Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com/TRASHY.

675. Coco Chanel | The 1920s, Fragrance, and Love Nests
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.

672. Taylor Frankie Paul Goes to Court
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.
