The Courtship of Tricia and Philip
Philip Smith, the Broadway-mogul husband of YouTube star Tricia Walsh Smith, was finally granted a divorce from her yesterday on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Said the Manhattan judge who presided over the case: "She has attempted to turn the life of her husband into a soap opera by directing, writing, acting in, and producing a melodrama." And he wasn't being metaphorical. He said the prenuptial agreement, signed three weeks before the couple's 1999 wedding, which provides Walsh Smith with $750,000 if the marriage is dissolved, was valid. Now Walsh-Smith, sadly only $750,000 richer, must vacate their Park Avenue apartment within 30 days.
World of Wonder reached Walsh Smith today by phone and she had this to say: "Yesterday I did not get justice in the courtroom. I have to leave the home I lived in for nine years without even a stick of furniture. I am saddened at the glee that some are expressing at my misfortune. I loved my husband – never cheated on him and I am being thrown out like the trash. To say I am sad is an understatement."
