625. Hortense Mancini's Wild English Adventure

from Trashy Divorces · host Hemlock Creatives

After escaping her abusive husband, Hortense spent some time on the lam. She published her memoirs, which made her a celebrated author, and then, at the urging of the English ambassador, headed to London to "see her niece" - and within months, was yet another mistress of Charles II. And soon after, Charles II's eldest daughter with Barbara Villiers. There were plenty more lovers to come, so to speak, as well.

The hilarious gal pals take a raw, unapologetic look at the female experience, covering every topic under the Triborough Bridge, from body positivity and self-care, to relationships and dating awkwardness. Is it okay to date someone who rides a Bird scooter? How long do you have to wait to tell your fiancé that you hate his twin? What if your boyfriend only has one ball, but three penises?
