Tricia Walsh Smith YouTube Divorce Video

Filmed in the kitchen of their Park Avenue apartment, her YouTube divorce video (scroll to watch) starts off with a title card saying, "One More Crazy Day in the Life of a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes." Tricia's main concern is getting kicked out of said apartment, which according to the pre-nuptial agreement she signed, can happen in 30 days if her 74-year-old husband has "reason."

Describing their sex life (or lack thereof), Tricia says, "We never had sex. He said it was because he had high blood pressure, and he was old. And I accepted that." Then she found Smith's secret stash of Viagra, condoms, and porn movies.

After that revelation, she tries to call her ex-husband, but gets his secretary instead, telling her that she is making a video for YouTube and asking her what she should do with the sex accessories.

With the caption "Poor, vulnerable Tricia shows the flat she's being kicked out of", Tricia starts a guided tour of her luxury apartment. She even opens up a family photo album and introduces her family with helpful captions like "Nasty, Evil Stepdaughter", who's trying to steal Tricia's pension.

At the end, despite calling herself a "schmuck" for believing her husband's lies, Tricia makes a vow to fight on like a "warrior." Viewers are left with the cliffhanger, "Will Poor, Vulnerable Tricia Be Evicted? Or Will Mean Bad Husband Do the Right Thing? Stay Tuned!"

Tricia has several plays such as "The Last Journey" and "Addictions" scheduled to open in London later this year.

Phil Smith is the president of the Shubert Organization, which owns many Broadway theaters. He is worth around $60 million.

Angry Wife Lashes Out in 'YouTube Divorce' VideoBy Lewis Wallace April 16, 2008 1:04:18 PMCategories: Video, YouTube A bitter wife allegedly threatened with eviction and divorce by her husband has turned to YouTube to air the couple's dirty laundry. In the six-minute, NSFW video, titled "One More Crazy Day in the Life of a
Phoenix Rising From the Ashes," former actress and playwright Tricia Walsh-Smith levels nasty accusations at her husband, Philip Smith, and at her in-laws. She says she and her husband, the president of Broadway powerhouse The Shubert Organization, never had sex, but claims she found a stash of Viagra, condoms and porn. Walsh-Smith also discusses the couple's prenuptial agreement and the $500,000-a-year "pension" she is supposedly guaranteed upon her husband's death.It's hard to quibble with the "crazy" part of the video's title: A wild-eyed Walsh-Smith looks about as sane as Ozzy Osbourne on a three-day coke binge. She flips through the couple's wedding pictures, lashes out at family members and takes a camera crew on a tour of the Park Avenue apartment her husband wants her to vacate."He has no grounds for divorce, but he's still trying to throw me out of our apartment in 30 days for no reason," she says. "I don't know why."YouTube users like obsidian468 have a pretty good idea why Smith, who is 25 years older than his wife, wants a divorce. Smith's office offered a terse "no comment" on the situation, according to the New York Post. The YouTube divorce clip is probably nuts from a legal standpoint, according to lawyers contacted by the Associated Press to discuss Walsh-Smith's strategy of broadcasting the dirty details of her failing marriage."I don't think it's the kind of thing people should be doing, and it's the kind of thing judges frown upon," said Norman Sheresky, a partner at matrimonial law firm Sheresky Aronson Mayesfsky & Sloan.While the YouTube salvo is probably not a savvy legal tactic, it is proving amusing to internet rubberneckers, who have viewed the video more than a half-million times since its April 10 upload.Titillation factor aside, it's easy to see why. In one priceless moment from the clip, Walsh-Smith points out a playbill from one of her works. The play's name? Bonkers.
