NEW YORK – We’re the YouTube Generation, living in the YouTube Era, in a YouTube World. And now we apparently have a YouTube Divorce.
Some prominent New York divorce lawyers couldn’t think of another case where a spouse — in this instance, the wife of a major Broadway theater operator — had taken to YouTube to spill the secrets of a marriage in an apparent effort to gain leverage and humiliate the other side.
“This is absolutely a new step, and I think it’s scary,” said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. “People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post). But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level.”
In a tearful and furious YouTube video with close to 150,000 hits to date, former actress and playwright (“Bonkers”) Tricia Walsh-Smith lashes out against her husband, Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway.
She goes through their wedding album on camera, describing family members as “bad” or “evil” or “nasty,” and talks about how her husband is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment. She also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant.

I think she should have hired a script writer and a director; she didn’t generate much sympathy from her performance
gosh, i wondered how long it would be before some idiot brought up the starving children in the world,, crap does everyone have to stop their life, their own problems because of the starving children,the starving animals, the russian orphans, the crumbling enviorment, the plight of the aged? i mean, such a stupid stupid response… let her fat old rich husband or that pumpkin face kid give away some of that 60million, i hope this women gets the cash, she is cool
She truly has a sad life. If she does depend on her husband’s wealth to live she truly does not know what living is when she does have her health, she can walk, she has her mind, she must have some kind of knowledge? Go back to a life before marriage, wasn’t she working or surviving on her own? But this is a desparate attempt to reach out for help. Since her husband has a lot of resources, she is using You tube as her avenue to fight back and have the public agree with her that she is the victim. IAnd she is more of a victim because she runs her life on Tarot cards. And not making her own decisions on her own!
What an idiot!!!! She looks like a total drunken fool…After accomplishing nothing but trying to promote herself…she also admits the marriage was never consumated!!!! What do you think a lawyer will do with that? What a MORON!
