YouTube Divorce Queen Scarfs Down Men With Fries 
 Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Tricia Walsh Smith is the self-proclaimed "Divorce Queen of YouTube." Her father was in the Royal Air Force, and Walsh starred in some British TV comedies and plays (as well as over five hundred commercials). She also dabbled in being a playwright. Most notably, though, Walsh-Smith married Philip J. Smith in 1999: Smith is the now 74-year-old President of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway.

Tricia, 49, has gone on The Heyman Hustle looking for some public support for her upcoming divorce case, which she has made YouTube-public, even going so far as to make a video in which she called her soon-to-be-ex's assistant and asked what she should do with his Viagra and porn collection. DivorceMag.com is just one of many media outlets that wince at Tricia's personal smear crusade, saying the British playwright and former actor "sunk divorce tactics to a new low...when she posted a home-made video on YouTube featuring herself trashing her husband."

Yet Walsh-Smith sees herself as a "warrior" and a women's cause. And she wonders why other "power women" aren't rushing to back her up.

"She's going on about misogyny...trying to get in the White House...Where is Hillary?" Tricia asked Paul Heyman. "What if she just said 'Leave Tricia alone?' Not one power woman has stepped forward to support me. What about all the feminists? Where's Oprah? Oprah, where are you? I need you!"

Wethinks you're out of Oprah's realm, sweetheart. First, when you marry decades your senior and it doesn't last a decade, it's not a surprise. Second, when the biggest name you've made for yourself is trashing said marriage in the most humiliating ways possible - to the whole world - this here feminist is wincing at you, too.
