Louise Élisabeth, Duchess of Berry was the 18th-century French princess whose scandalous—albeit short—life had the city of Paris completely enthralled. From her six unsuccessful pregnancies to her exhaustive list of lovers (including, maybe, her own father), she was the train wreck that no one could pull their eyes away from.
Queen Victoria ruled over one of the most dazzling moments in history—but her reign was full of personal scandal and tragedy.
The perfect date could lead to everlasting love, but for most of us, dating is just a shortcut to awkwardness, drama, and occasionally, complete chaos.
Marie Antoinette is as famous for her chilling and tragic end as her brief yet twisted life—but few know her even darker history.
We have one piece of advice for the poor people who shared these stories of brutal backstabs and horrific secrets: find better friends!
Even the best of us can't help but eavesdrop every now and again—but sometimes, we hear things that we never wanted to know.
I was a lifeguard in high school. It was a great job, except for my lazy co-worker—but that changed after the wildest prank ever pulled.
