Hi there. It's Joy, the host of The Worstship, and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be sharing some of my own worstships on upcoming episodes of the podcast. I'll also share more submissions, because some of my story submissions are SO GOOD you deserve to hear them! We'll be back with more chaos next week. I really can't believe what some people have been through. The gag is, life is always crazier than fiction!

Tyler Francis was sleeping with his baby mama Bri, allegedly, while he was engaged to another woman. He also used to have threesomes with his ex-fiance and baby mama. Allegedly. Tyler is a freak and his Love is Blind wife Ashley believes that Tyler was only a sperm donor. Social media pics and videos prove that Tyler loved spending time with his kids. I think he's going to leave Ashley so he can be with his children. I also think Tyler is pulling a long con. Tyler is clearly "too good to be...

Tim is known for dumping his fiance Alex because she took a nap. In reality, he dumped her because he never forgave her for calling him "out [his] God given name." I explain the definition of toxic masculinity and how Tim exhibits toxic traits. I also discuss how ill equipped Alex is to marry anyone right now. She doesn't know how to be a partner. She acted like she was single. Tim makes my skin crawl though and I explain why he's terrible. Avoid men like Timothy! Please.

Netflix's Love is Blind season 7 had some of the worst men in the show's history. I'm dragging Ramses for dumping his fiance Marissa TWO DAYS before their wedding because her "energy is off." Marissa wasn't having sex with Ramses as often as she was when they were in Mexico - you know that's the reason. I also talk about how blaming "energy" is a cheap excuse that doesn't explain the truth. Blaming energy is another way of saying you only care about yourself and you don't want to work it...

Maddie was in a relationship with her boyfriend Renzo for three years when she got a DM on Instagram asking her: "Do you know your boyfriend is cheating on you?" After Maddie learned about Renzo's extracurricular activities, her cleaning lady spilled all the tea about Renzo's cheating! Emotional abuse and complex trauma aren't talked about nearly enough and friends don't want to listen to you talk about relationship drama. Maddie has learned more about addicts and trauma bonding. She says...

When someone is taking advantage of you, they will always find ways to keep the relationship going. If you voice your concerns, they'll do something nice! Renzo was a master manipulator whose alcohol addiction was exposed after he moved into Maddie's apartment. He got into rehab but wasn't serious about his sobriety, so Maddie went on a sex strike. Genius move? You decide. Personally, I would have done the same. Then one random Tuesday Maddie receives a shocking DM on Instagram. Yes, it...

In Part 1 of "Maddie & Renzo," Maddie met Renzo at a parade and they had a great time. Next, Renzo said he couldn't pay for their first date (during their first date)! We talk about who should pay on a first date in heterosexual, gay, and bi relationships. More importantly, the mind games begin when Renzo makes sure to get Maddie emotionally invested. After he mentions being exclusive and tells Maddie he loves her, Renzo ghosts Maddie after she was nothing but kind, thoughtful, and...

When Maddie met a handsome man named Renzo, she was on molly… That may or may not explain everything? What do you do when your first date, who you had great sex with, takes you to a restaurant but claims his wallet got stolen?! In hindsight, that was Maddie’s hint to run for the hills!

We have our very first happy ending here on The Worstship. After Ali suggested opening up her relationship as a way to segue into a breakup, she dumped John. She's a thoughtful girlfriend and bought her white rapper ex-boyfriend thoughtful presents. Very demure, very mindful. Her friends didn't like John and Ali can identify what the red flags were, in hindsight. Now she's been in a great relationship for the past 2 and 1/2 years and we are THRILLED!!

Ali's ex-boyfriend John gave her one of the worst presents anyone could ever give - a picnic in an alley! That's not romance.  When she would talk to John about problems in their relationship, he would blame his ADHD. Sigh. Ali had enough, so she dumped him and he followed her out of state! We get into what happened after the breakup in part 3 of our interview. What the whut?

After a failed situationship, Ali really wanted an official relationship. Relatable. When Ali was dating John, she found out he was full of surprises - the worst surprises! The man sounds unhinged and broke af. I'm surprised by the bullsh!t Ali dealt with. Do not ever have a picnic with your girlfriend in a dumpster - I'm exaggerating, but there are no words! Seriously. I'm still shaking my head.

Amanda and Andy dated for eight months and had multiple dates each week. Andy even had Amanda meet his friends after only a few weeks! He kept making excuses for why he couldn't meet her friends, though. Was that a red flag? We also get into the hierarchy of what emojis your man should post on your Instagram pics, and why trauma bonding is sexy to me. I also learn what “the starter pack for dates” is, according to Amanda. Why ghost someone right after introducing them to your family? My head...

Amanda’s episodes are a good time! Months after ending her engagement, Amanda began dating a rich, tall European. We get into whether or not Amanda was savage for how she dumped her fiancé. We also discuss some of the most important questions of our time, like: Do men look better in person than online? Should you dump someone on FaceTime? Should binge drinking on dates be a dealbreaker, and why do Europeans kiss in a way that scares me?! Enjoy part 1 of our 4-part exclusive interview with...

If you wanna find out if your partner is cheating, their phone will tell you! Vanessa discovered Dan was cheating by looking through his phone. Vanessa then pretty much squatted after she dumped him, so she devised a plan to get him to leave. I still can't believe Dan didn't want to pay rent or cover the utilities!
