Seductress. Schemer. Poisoner. Such words (and worse) have often described Lucrezia Borgia, one of the scandalous children of Pope Alexander VI. Though Lucrezia is known as a Renaissance femme fatale, when we cut through the rumors and myths, the truth is much more complicated and somehow even more jaw-dropping than her already-spicy reputation.
There's nothing worse than a chilling betrayal that we never saw coming—but when it happens, there are two options: get mad, or get even.
There are deadly comebacks, and then there are burns so epic that they go down in history. There’s a difference, and these people have firsthand experience.
Plans don’t always work out how we want, and in ultra embarrassing moments like these, all we can do is say, "...I messed up."
Remember in Little Miss Sunshine when Steve Carell said, "High school's your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that!” He was right.
Life is unpredictable. Things may seem fine, but we never truly know what lurks around the corner—and these devastating stories about close calls are proof.
There's nothing worse than that sinking feeling when we know we've screwed up big time—but none of our mistakes have been nearly as bad as these.
