ABOUT THE EPISODE: It's the day of the Season 4 premiere, y'all! Thirsty's back, with special guest Gabrielle Stone of FML Talk. She's an author, actress, and podcaster who's seen it all (and lived to tell the tale), with more than a few laughs along the way. Today, Gabrielle's stopping by the Thirsty recording studio to talk about life after divorce, healing from a partner's infidelity, and why she decided to walk down the aisle for the second time. Gabrielle, Heather, and Laura are also covering about how to spot a love bomber, when cheating might not be the end, and how to make the most of the PDHP. #IYKYK.
ABOUT GABRIELLE STONE: Gabrielle Stone is no stranger to the world of entertainment. Growing up on set with her legendary scream-queen mother, Dee Wallace (Cujo, E.T.), she had days of licking off mommy’s fake blood and watching behind the scenes movie magic. Seeing the world with mom and dad gave her the travel bug at an early age—until Gabrielle experienced a real-life horror when she lost her father suddenly at age seven.
After many years in the industry herself, Stone transitioned from meaty acting roles to writing and directing. Her award-winning films It Happened Again Last Night and After Emma gained her awards for writing, directing, and acting—but she had a bigger role in life that would soon present itself: freaking badass.
After the rug was vigorously pulled out from under her when her husband’s affair came to light, she found herself falling into the arms of another man. After a second failed attempt at love and a massive heartbreak, she decided that instead of landing flat on her ass—she’d make a career out of it.
And so came the birth of the book Eat, Pray, #FML, where she shared all the mistakes, all the lessons, and most importantly, how she became a fearless leader from it all.
When fans around the world demanded more, the highly anticipated sequel, The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl, and the podcast FML Talk we’re born—and Gabrielle soon realized that her broken heart had bloomed a movement.
