  • O.J., Hard Copy & the Accomplice Theory That Won’t Die
    2026/11/11
    I’m so happy to have investigative journalist Nancy Moscatel back on the show! Last time she was here we talked about Scamanda, and now she’s back with her new limited series, Lexi-Con. It’s about a young woman in Maryland who blogged about her cancer battle for years and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. The problem is she never had cancer. Nancy tells me how two nurses who listened to Scamanda tipped her off, how Lexi lifted pieces of real cancer patients’ stories, and how she Photoshopped herself into a real support group’s photos and then wrote obituaries for women who are still alive. We also get into Sherri Papini and the questions I still have after interviewing her, Brooks and his cancer story on Real Housewives, and the new claims that O.J. had an accomplice. Nancy was at the Bundy crime scene that first morning for Hard Copy, and she tells the real story behind the Jill Shively interview. Listen to Lexi-Con wherever you get your podcasts, and come see me live in San Diego on November 14th with Chris Franjola!

  • Billy Bush Spills: The Tape, the Today Show & the Billionaire Who Confronted Him
    2026/11/04
    I sit down with Billy Bush from Hot Mic with Billy Bush, and he holds nothing back. He explains exactly where he fits in the Bush family, and he tells me how the infamous Access Hollywood tape got him pushed out of the Today show after just two months. Then we get into the shocking new allegations against Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, and whether this changes how we see Meghan. Billy also breaks down the lawsuit over Amy Griffin’s bestselling memoir The Tell, including the claims from a former classmate and the questions about memories recovered through MDMA-assisted therapy. Plus, he tells me what happened when Amy confronted him at a celebrity wedding in Hawaii! We also cover whether Lindsay Clancy should face a retrial, the Idaho victim’s family going after content creators, and Nick Reiner’s upcoming trial. -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.

  • The Alexander Brothers’ Sentencing, Andrew Luster’s Release & The Gilded Rage Cold Case
    2026/10/28
    I’m joined by Aliza Rosen and Lauren Malloy, the duo behind the hit podcast My Mom’s Murder, to talk about their new podcast, The Gilded Rage. Lauren tells me how she found out her mom’s 1993 “natural causes” death was actually murder, which led to her mom being exhumed and to a statewide cold case unit in Rhode Island. Then they take me inside the 1985 death of 18-year-old CU Boulder freshman Sherri Clark, who was found under a bridge after a frat party. The case was closed within days, the main suspect’s records were quietly sealed, and other women say the same guy assaulted them too. It’s a story of wealth, power, and the good old boys network. We also get into Andrew Luster, the Max Factor heir who is now out of prison, the Alexander brothers ahead of their sentencing, and the ongoing Sandra Birchmore murder trial against former cop Matthew Farwell.

  • The Widower & A Killer Story with Shannon Goldstein
    2026/10/21
    My sister, criminal defense attorney Shannon McDonald Goldstein, is back for another Juicy Crimes! We start with an update on the Cornell case. I respond to some of the messages I got about my take on Shane Gillis’s SNL monologue. Then we dive into Netflix’s The Widower, the story of Thomas Randolph, a serial love bomber who was married six times, took out life insurance on his wives and spent decades working the legal system. Shannon explains why his first conviction got overturned and how the detective came out of retirement to finally get justice. Plus, we break down A Killer Story about Dana Chandler, the couple who dedicated a decade to proving her innocence, and the shocking decision she made right before her third trial that Shannon says no one should ever make.

  • Halle Berry’s Custody Fight, Killed by His In-Laws & a Surrogacy “House of Horrors”
    2026/10/14
    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.

  • The Cornell Seven: The New Texts That Change Everything with Shannon Goldstein
    2026/10/07
    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.

  • Hollywood Rumors Can Kill A Career
    2026/09/30
    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.
