When the wife of Broadway mogul Philip Smith trashed him before a worldwide audience on You Tube, her motives were obviously to cause him much personal embarrassment by airing their dirty laundry before millions.
It seems that Tricia Walsh-Smith was mighty peeved about the prospect of being tossed aside by her wealthy spouse and, even unhappier about being evicted from their luxury digs. Her tearful tirades on You Tube drew attention from the both viewers and the media, as she lashed out at her hubby by ridiculing their...er..."intimate moments" and dogging out her in-laws. For good measure, Walsh-Smith even phoned his office and let a member of his staff in on these private details.
Many thought that the spurned wife's goal was to humiliate her husband to the point that he would give her a more---shall we say?..."acceptable" divorce settlement.
Unfortunately for Walsh-Smith, matters have backfired. A judge granted Philip Smith a divorce, with grounds being "cruel and unusual punishment" on the part of his wife. The prenup remains valid, meaning she has to move out of their apartment within a month.
Although she does get $750,000, Walsh-Smith is still unhappy and plans to appeal the decision.
Can you say..."GROW UP?"
