#RockStarLife: Coffee Break

Zak Bagans cheated on 👑 Holly Madison how many times!?!? Espresso Shot!!!!

• Zenobia Darling • Season 2 • Episode 32

I may be on a spring hiatus, but when a cheating scandal rocks paranormal pop culture—featuring one of my all-time favorite celebs to stan and my all-time favorite ghost bro to drag—you know I had to grab the mic and get messy.

First, a quick life update: I’ve been deep in the haunted attic art studio and riding the same weird emotional static that feels like everyone is going through it (just me?). Oh—and I finally got my ears pierced for the first time ever, so yes: welcome to the Pierced and Pissed-Off Drag Rockstar Era™, but the ears have never looked punker and more gorgeous. 

Then it’s straight into the ghostly gossip:

Holly Madison, one of my eternal Drag Aunties (alongside the iconic Bridget Marquardt), is DONE with Zak Bagans—and she’s spilling tea hotter than a Vegas parking lot in July. She’s calling out him and the 10+ confirmed cheating incidents she received from their six-year relationship. It's epic and confirms exactly what I have been saying for years about Zak, and proves why Holly is truly a queen!!

 I go OFF on:

  • The cheating allegations and Zak's dark-sided clownery
  • Zak being a D-list celebrity and his thirsty love of dating apps. 
  • How Holly helped shape Zenobia Darling into the spooky drag icon your listening to and adoring
  • Why Holly and Bridget's podcast (and Patreon) are straight-up essential listening
  • What this scandal means for Ghost Adventures (because be real… who’s still watching?)
  • And why Zak has zero respect in serious paranormal communities—especially on the East Coast 👀

Let’s face it: Zak Bagans has been chasing demons for decades, but couldn’t outrun his own ego.

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: I’m a drag queen and stand-up comic, so take everything with a grain of ghost salt. It’s all alleged, and it’s all through the lens of humor, glitter, and pure rage-stanning for Holly Madison.
