Wife of Shubert President Does Divorce YouTube Style

Actress/playwright/trophy wife Tricia Walsh-Smith is in the midst of a nasty divorce from Philip Smith, her husband of ten years and president of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway.

And in what will hopefully be a new trend in marital strife, she’s documenting the emotional turbulence with a simultaneously funny and cringe-inducing YouTube masterpiece entitled One More Crazy Day in the Life of a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes. SPOILER:

“Oh, another thing: We never had sex. He said it was because he said he had high blood pressure and was old and I accepted that. Then last year when we went through this I found Viagra, porn movies, and condoms.” Walsh-Smith then calls Smith’s office and tells his shocked assistant, on the speaker phone: “I’m filming at the moment for YouTube. I don’t know if you know but Philip and I never had sex. But he’s got Viagra, condoms and porn movies. Just ask him what he wants me to do with them.” The train wreck continues with a tour of the apartment and an evisceration of her husband’s “evil” older daughter.

According to attorneys interviewed by 1010 WINS, Walsh-Smith’s YouTube divorce flick may be a first. High-profile divorce lawyer Bonnie Rabin says “This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary. People used to worry about getting on Page Six. But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level.” And Walsh-Smith’s lawyer thinks that “this is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well.” If that doesn’t make you laugh, you haven’t watched yet watched One More Crazy Day in the Life of a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes.

Anyone who watched that video is a jerkoff.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: 99.9% of British woman have trailer park-face.

jessecal

After looking at the photos on the woman's website-

It seems to me that she's lived the perfect shallow and wasted life of a New York 'wannabe celeb' circa the 70's!!

However, she is correct in her self-assessment:

She is indeed a 'Schmuck'-

Whammo

Hmm, gee, I can't imagine why any man could have a problem getting it up for such a warm and beautiful human being... she is human, isn't she?

everydaydreamer

...but WHO is operating the camera?

Snoopy

Unfortunately he had two pair and the winner had a straight so at the end of the night he ended up with the blonde.

avatar77

Did he win a trailer park poker tourney? Because she looks like the trophy.

Zing!

schizofriendly

Playwright, eh?

Anyone familiar with anything she's written?

Snoopy

Is she grabbing the poor guy by the balls, therefore having that wild eyed shit eating grin on her face?

Barbj8

Man that bitch has crazy-ass eyes. Don't men know enough to stay away from women with crazy-ass eyes? And why does she call them con-domes and not call London Lon-done? Just wondering.

Spirit of 76

She looks more like the Joker with that crazy wide-eyed grin. Something tells me this video will not help her in the divorce case. I suspect most judges don't look favorably on people airing their dirty laundry in public.

Snoopy

Sticks and stones might break her bones, and obviously some used an ugly stick.

With all that money shouldn't she go to Duane Reade and buy some foundation makeup so she doesn't glisten like a bowling ball? Also blondes look stupid wearing yellow.

ed_Extinct

cancelled! who cares?

Tgirl

"...he wants to throw me out, and I don't know why"

here's a hint: watch the video on this page for starters

bitch must have gone crazy trying to build that god awful website. Her father is lucky the Germans got to him before the british tabloids did...

Rocknrope

No worse than any of the yentas on "The Real Housewives of NYC"

just saying

Call me foolish, but something tells me that this divorce won't be amicable.

You gotta wonder what's his side of this story. No sex with wifey, but stashes of viagra, condoms & porn? Something kinky here.

Snoopy

Step back from this situation a minute. Did she marry this guy for his stud ability, or was it his humor and sarcastic wit?

Actually he is the president, not the owner, of the Shubert organization.

Why might I ask that in the photo above she looks like she was tasered in her butt?

She's a shop worn, typical, very late middle aged, money grubbing, bottle blonde cunt.

Dave Hogarty

Obviously this woman was seriously abused--by eyeliner!

eyekantspel

that woman has serious problems, and her lawyer must be a complete idiot. “this is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well.” lol.

I'm sure Paul McCartney is wishing Heather Mills had done this, he could have saved a bunch of money.
