Tricia Walsh Smith , age 49, is in the midst of ugly divorce proceedings with her rich husband. He is 25 years older than her, his daughters are her age. He wants to leave his money to his daughters but Tricia Walsh Smith is not about to go away quietly. Here she spills everything about her life with her husband on YouTube.
Her lawyer (who didn't become her lawyer until after this video was made) says the video was "the act of a powerless person", and "revolutions are made by powerless people." Looks like we can prepare to see much more divorce dirt on YouTube soon.
Update: Well, pity the people that missed this first video. It was really well done. But it seems it was taken off YouTube by Trishia Walsh Smith herself (because who else could have had the authority to remove it?) ...and below is her second video. Somehow I smell a series coming up out of this. Remember, her husband is a Big Broadway player. I'm beginning to think this public 'divorce scandal' is all just a big YouTube video farce. I've seen some photos of the 'happy' couple from the recent past ( here , here and here and this makes me wonder if we are being duped into a fake reality show. If not, then these photos do demonstrate to me that she was sincere in her role of wife to a man who was 25 years older than her.
Here's part II of the naughty divorce series;
Update July 22nd: The divorce has been settled in court and a New York city judge awarded Tricia Walsh-Smith only 750,000 of her husband's net worth of $60 million. The judge said the prenuptial agreement was valid and now she has to leave the apartment within 30 days but will only get $50,000 in ten days. It doesn't seem quite fair to us. They were married for eight years.
