Judge Rules Against Tricia Walsh-Smith Do you agree with the judge’s decision to grant the divorce and not give anything more than the amount stated in the prenuptial agreement for Tricia Walsh-Smith

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.
