Today, in this Trashy Royals crossover, we meet the last mistress to join that odd club, Hortense Mancini. Born to a big brood in Rome - Hortense was the eighth of ten - the family moved to Paris after her father's death, where her uncle Cardinal Mazarin gave them entry to the French court and planned for his nieces' futures as wives. He chose poorly in the case of Hortense, but her unhappy marriage ultimately propelled her to the shores of England, as well as making her a celebrated writer.

Alicia comes to us with a story we've been loosely watching for years: the slow, apparent destruction of the marriage of singer Justin Timberlake and actress Jessica Biel. According to Page Six, Jessica is near her wit's end with Justin's behavior - drinking seems to be at the core of it - and his absences as she raises their two sons largely solo. Apparently there's been an ultimatum! And Alicia has May jokes. Allegedly. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

After his first divorce and his toxic relationship with Cathy Smith, it would be 16 years before Gordon Lightfoot took the plunge and married again, this time to Elizabeth Moon. It's hard to say if this was a good relationship, but it produced two children and seems to have involved a very long period of separation during which, for once, he was involved in parenting his children. He also had some serious health events during this time. When he married his third wife, Kim Hasse, he was already into his 70s, but the guy was durable. In spite of decades of late nights and hard living, he lived to be 84 years old, passing away on May 1, 2023. Sponsors Today's episode is sponsored by Incogni.
