Trashy Divorces

Some stories shoot right past “trashy” and head straight for “disturbing,” and that is the case of murdered socialite Barbara Daly Baekeland. In this encore presentation from November 2022, Alicia recounts the troubling life and times of a family beset by mental illness and too much money, and the tragedy that unfolded as a result.

Over the last few years, country music fans have fallen in love with the music and persona of Jelly Roll, a former rapper who spent two decades trying to make his musical dreams come true. And as those dreams materialized, they did it in enormous fashion - while Jelly himself took the opportunity of that success to become smaller and smaller. As his circumstances and outlook have changed, apparently his ten-year marriage to podcast host Bunnie Xo became a casualty of his rise.

In today's Dumpster Dive, Alicia takes us on a journey through a land she is uniquely unqualified to speak on: sportsing! First up, an unsettling story about the NFL's Tyreek Hill and his long history of domestic violence. Then, basketballer Luka Doncic is having some trouble balancing fatherhood and a broken engagement in his native Slovenia. Next up, feast your ears on the soap opera that is the love lives of the women of the WNBA. Finally, in another example of Billionaires Behaving Badly, 49ers owner Jed York appears to be having a serious midlife crisis. He has recently filed for divorce in California, moved to a home his parents own in Ohio, and then been arrested for soliciting a sex worker/undercover cop in a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.

In 2023, Belle Burden, a granddaughter of Babe Paley, published an essay in the New York Times Modern Love column called, "Was I Married to a Stranger?" It's a question a lot of people ask themselves after a divorce, so the column went very viral and a book deal followed. Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage published in January, and quickly became the must-read book of 2026. It's part processing and part cautionary tale, especially to women, about being active players in their own finances, and clear about their marital finances. Alicia explores the story and some of the pushback it has received.
