Tricia Walsh-Smith is a British playwright and actress. Possibly, now no one remembers that she appeared in dozens of shows in the 1970s and early 80s and her first play Bonkers was once staged at the London's Man in the Moon Theatre,instead, Tricia Walsh-Smith has become best known for being the first Youtube Divorce person.
Tricia Walsh-Smith is the wife of Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway. The couple married in 1999. But the marriage of 49-year-old Tricia Walsh-Smith and 74-year-old Philip Smith became estranged in 2007 after Mrs Walsh-Smith complained to a U.S. gossip writer that her husband gave her a weekly allowance of just £200.
Frustrated over the division of assets in her divorce from her multi-millionaire husband, Tricia Walsh-Smith has taken an extreme manner that nobody ever resorted to--taking to YouTube to share her thoughts, including allegations about their sex life and spilling secrets about their private life, his family and business, in an apparent effort to gain leverage and humiliate Philip Smith .
In a six-minute rant posted on the YouTube website, 49-year-old Mrs Walsh-Smith talks directly to the camera and says: "We never had sex. He said it was because he had high blood pressure.
"I accepted that. Then last year I found Viagra, porn movies and condoms. Maybe I should call him up and ask him what he wants to do with the condoms."
In the YouTube video, Mrs Walsh-Smith moves through their £400,000 flat in Manhattan from the kitchen to an office where she dials her husband.
After being told he is on a conference call, she tells his secretary: "I don't know if you know, but you know Philip and I never had sex...but he's got Viagra and condoms and stuff here and porn movies.
"Just ask him what he wants me to do with them, would you?"
The startled assistant screams: "Wait! Wait! Wait, you want me to ask him this now?"
Mrs Walsh-Smith, who has admitted having a drink problem, goes on: "Does he mind what I do with his condoms and stuff?"
...
The YouTube video, in which Mrs Walsh-Smith claims her husband is worth £30million but fumes that his two grown-up daughters will inherit all his money, immediately became the talk of the theatre world in New York.
Her rant also reveals that a pre-nuptial agreement contained a clause allowing her husband to evict her from the Manhattan flat in 30 days if he had grounds for divorce.
She goes on to say she will get a £250,000 a year pension for life when her husband dies and their £300,000 flat in Florida.
The actress then breaks down in tears as she says: "I am an idiot, I am the biggest ******* idiot in the world."
