Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast

Chelsea is joined by Julia Washington to unpack “Phases,” the memoir from R&B icon and actor Brandy Norwood. From her rise to stardom at 15 with hits like “I Wanna Be Down,” to “The Boy Is Mine” with Monica (and the drama behind the song), to her breakout role on “Moesha,” they unpack the highs and lows of being one of the most famous girls of the ’90s and Whitney Houston being her fairy godmother. They dive into her age-gap relationship with Boyz II Men star Wanya Morris, the fallout from her headline-making “marriage,” and the tragic car accident that reshaped her life and career.
