| 10/14/26 | Halle Berry’s Custody Fight, Killed by His In-Laws & a Surrogacy “House of Horrors” | Former judge and attorney Michele Locke, host of the Love Lust Law podcast, is back on Juicy Crimes, and we have so much to get through. We start with Halle Berry’s custody war with Olivier Martinez and his child abuse accusation, and Michele explains what the judge’s temporary order really means. Then we get into the Northlake, Texas mom accused of stabbing her two babies and her husband, and whether there’s a disturbing pattern of moms snapping after the Lindsay Clancy trial. We cover the New York Times exec allegedly gunned down by his elderly in-laws mid-divorce, the Arcadia “house of horrors” couple with more than 20 surrogate-born kids, the Ohio family with 16 children found in one room, and the royal doctor killed during her kids’ sleepover. Plus Chris Watts’ new fiancée, why women fall for men in prison, and Michele’s take on how hard it is for a powerful woman to date. -Go to https://RO.CO/juicycrimes to see if you qualify.

| 10/7/26 | The Cornell Seven: The New Texts That Change Everything with Shannon Goldstein | My sister Shannon McDonald Goldstein, defense and criminal law attorney, is back on Juicy Crimes, and we start with the latest on the Cornell Seven. New text messages just surfaced between the 20-year-old sorority member and the first fraternity brother she was with that night. We go through her original 2024 statement to campus police, the ketamine, the "free" Snapchat sent to 54 Chi Phi members, and the Halloween party she was disinvited from. Shannon explains why New York's consent law made it so hard for the DA to prosecute, and why all seven men are now named in her civil lawsuit. Then we get into Kevin Reddington's new motions to acquit Lindsay Clancy after the mistrial, Caleb Flynn's guilty verdict and the 21-year-old girlfriend who kept pushing him, and the horrifying failed execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee. Plus I share my own sorority rumor story from my USC days, and why I'd ban threesomes if I ran a frat. -Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.

| 9/30/26 | Hollywood Rumors Can Kill A Career | I’m joined by journalist Allen Salkin to dive into his new Hollywood Reporter podcast, Gerbil, which investigates the origins of the infamous, long-running Hollywood urban legend surrounding Richard Gere. We trace my own vivid memory of hearing the wild ER rumor back in the summer of 1989 and break down how pre-internet viral rumors, celebrity gay panic, mass media psychology, and deep-seated Hollywood jealousy fuel these unstoppable urban legends. Along the way, we connect it to the mechanics of public lies, touching on his Vanity Fair work behind Bad Vegan, Hilaria Baldwin’s accent controversy, and even my own personal experience facing a career-damaging, completely false tabloid rumor during my Chelsea Lately days. -For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping, when you head to https://smalls.com/JUICYCRIMES Subscribe now to Juicy Crimes so you don't miss an episode!: https://bit.ly/juicycrimes Subscribe to Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald on iTunes, the podcast app, and get extra juice on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/juicyscoop See me Live: https://heathermcdonald.net/ Follow Me on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathermcdonald/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heathermcdonald YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HeatherMcDonaldOfficial Learn more about your ad choices.

| 9/16/26 | From 10 Kilos of Cocaine to Complete Freedom | I sit down with Sharon Yitzhaki, a guest whose unbelievable life story inspired a bestselling book and a feature film centered around a 10-kilo cocaine setup. Sharon shares how leaving Jerusalem at 18 for Amsterdam's artistic freedom led her straight into a whirlwind romance with an older man named Ronnie, who surprised her with a trip to South America only to abandon her in Bolivia. After discovering ten kilos of cocaine hidden inside the custom luggage Ronnie bought her, she was arrested at the airport and sentenced to years inside the notorious Miraflores prison in La Paz. Sharon recounts her dramatic survival story, from overcoming cruel hazing to establishing herself as a respected prison leader, initiating romance with a high-profile cartel boss, falling in love with her transgender cellmate, and raising an abandoned baby inside her cell for three and a half years. Finally, she opens up about her harrowing escape on foot to Brazil after facing an unexpected 17-year sentence, processing her trauma through writing, and warning young people about the hidden dangers of trusting the wrong partner. -Go to https://RO.CO/juicycrimes to see if you qualify. -Shop now at https://fabletics.com/juicycrimes to get 70–80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.
