It’s a Wrap: Walsh-Smith Loses Divorce Claims Despite YouTube Pitch

Tricia Walsh-Smith, the divorcee made famous by a bitter and popular YouTube attack on her husband, has lost her divorce claims — with the Manhattan judge expressly criticizing her YouTube videos. Philip Smith, a theater mogul and President of the Shubert Organization, is the winner Judge Harold Beeler upheld the pre-nup in the case –limiting Walsh-Smith to $750,000 and telling her to get out of the luxury condo that was the scene of her YouTube creation.

What is clear is that Hell hath no fury like a YouTuber scorned.

However, the YouTube approach is not likely to be repeated given the reaction of the Court. Beeler criticized her for the video as a “a calculated and callous campaign to embarrass and humiliate her husband” and to pressure him into settling into a settlement. He stated that “She has attempted to turn the life of her husband into a soap opera by directing, writing, acting in and producing a melodrama.”

Her video has attracted 3 million hits. For the video, click here.

She even has a website proclaiming her as Tricia Walsh Smith: Activist…Artist…Woman…Warrior. Click here. It is not quite clear what she was an activist or warrior for — beyond an attack on her husband and his family.
