Man Wins Divorce From Angry Wife In YouTube Video
NEW YORK — A Broadway mogul whose actress wife trashed him in a widely-viewed YouTube video has been granted a divorce from her.
A Manhattan judge granted Philip Smith a divorce from Tricia Walsh-Smith on Monday on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Judge Harold Beeler said a prenuptial agreement signed three weeks before the couple’s 1999 wedding was valid.
That means Walsh-Smith must leave their Park Avenue apartment within 30 days and Smith must pay her $750,000.
In the tearful and furious YouTube video, which has attracted more than three million hits, Walsh-Smith lashes out against Smith.
She makes embarrassing claims about their intimate life and then calls his office to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant.
Smith’s lawyers said they were “appalled” by the video.
Famed divorce attorney Raoul Felder began representing Walsh-Smith after she made the video.
Smith is president of The Shubert Organization, the largest theatre owner on Broadway.
