S9E12: Roar | Katy Perry and Russell Brand & Roxanne and Peter Pulitzer
When it comes to women who roar, we’ve got two fabulous ones. Stacie has the short story of the marriage of pop queen Katy Perry and British narcissist Russell Brand, who notified her of the divorce by text message. Alicia takes us to 1970s and early 1980s Palm Beach for the wild ride of rich guy Peter Pulitzer and his second marriage and divorce, to the loud and proud Roxanne Pulitzer.
