About two weeks ago, former playwright and actress
Tricia Walsh-Smith expressed her frustrations with her current divorce proceedings in (or on) a very public place --
YouTube. Ranting about her husband Philip Smith, Walsh-Smith alternated between pleas for mercy, cries of idiocy, and bouts of petty mud-slinging. Today, she actually heads to divorce court and, in preparation for that, has
posted another bonkers video for all to see.
In this
new vid, Walsh-Smith pulls much the same act as last time -- clad in a red kimono, she pleads her case (somewhat calmly, for a change) to a constantly growing crew of Internet surfers who had no idea who she was before all this, but now can't look away from the train wreck. Count us in that last group. [Source:

Wow, what a nut, but very cute!

I don't understand why her husband doesn't just give her a couple million dollars and make this go away. The legal bills will be well in excess of a small payoff.

Another irritating ex-wife.

abusive emails? What do you expect when you air dirty laundry on the internet? Sympathy? Sympathy is found in the dictionary between sh!t and syphillis!

You go girl!!! I hope you stick it to him big time.

Years ago hearing this I would of called you an idiot. But I've been down a road that I thought I would never be down. You married an asshole, and now he wants to destroy you. And as of everyone elses shitty comments, just get strong from it. People don't understand that your bitter because he is destroying you and winning and now you want people to understand. But, the problem is, they always side with the man until he actually kills someone. This exact situation is the reason woman look like their physco. Men suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Ms Walsh had a real job then she would have some money to fall back on. Since she claims she has a real job, where is the money? I dont doubt that the husband is being a true A--hole but Ms Walsh needs to get ready to move on--- maybe back to the UK. And by the way trish, at your level most of the world doesnt look at what you claim to do as a job. Since it won't support you.

Obviously you do not know how fickle the entertainment business can be... And, do you have $100,000 laying around from your job. Do you know the going rate for a studio apartment in New York City, let alone a house??? We are talking High hundreds of thousands. NYC is one if not the highest rated city for cost of living in the U.S.A.

Tricia, good luck to you my dear. I don't agree for one second, with what your husband is doing to you. Many of the people posting nasty comments are men... who have never had to worry about being on the street. Furthermore... you are not a nut... you're doing what you must do in order to survive.

I have no sound on my computer, so I do not know the "specifics" but have only heard about this case. I am a woman and a mother tho, who has been treated unfairly (to say the least) by the judicial system and my ex as well. When I told him to leave for the millionth time because he was verbally abusive and bi polar, he took everything from me. Because he knows how to "work" the system, and can "appear" charming in public when he has to, apparently everyone believes the lies he tells. I went to 14 marriage counselors with him over a 20 year period, all of whom told me this will end in divorce, but I hung in there for my son and started to work to get away from him. In the end, they held that against me, imputed me income I never earned, believed his lies about his business going under, and gave me 5 yrs alimony when I am 54 YO after a 22 year marriage. This all depends upon who you know, how good a liar you are, and how much money you have for a lawyer, not at all on the truth. I was too honest and trusting, stayed too long and didn't keep good records, and the lawyers made it "all about" money, but to me, it was my integrity, but the court doesn't care about that! Sometimes you have to go public when the system does not work, and it doesn't, alot!! Bravo for any woman who stands up for herself when caught in this maze of corruption, power, lies!!

You stinky little brat! Money, money, money! "Look at me! I'm so great!" Shut up! Stop consulting your cards and go mingle with the middle class to see how we live! Get out of your silk kimono, Get a job at Starbucks so you can put skim milk in the working class cup! I hope you don't get a dime from your X, as your a spoiled little Barbie, who needs to wake up and smell the coffee brewing...And as for the Wheat Grass habit you have, better give that up since you'll have no money to sneak in anyone elses veggie juice....It costs about $4.00 a shot! OH MY!
AS for your tent... Bass Pro Shop has some nice ones at very good prices. Looks like you'll need the best one. Probably the 6 man tent size would be good for you! UGH!!!!! enough already! But really...It's nice to laugh at rich people being Red Neck dumb!

I pull my previous support of this "woman". She is nothing but an "attention whore", just like any female from her generation and younger. There needs to be a men's liberation movement soon to take our balls back! We need to use women the same way they use us. We need to manipulate them the same way they manipulate us.

Jump back jack. Don't generalize. That's a sign of ignorance and hatred. Sounds like either someone did you wrong or could it be that you don't have it all together? Seek help before you go around hating a whole species. That's not normal. As for video Trish, she needs psychiatric help. There are two sides to every story but for the life of me I can't understand what purpose she thinks this will do to help her. Can you say crack pot?
silver @ Apr 28th 2008 5:00PM

hotrodman34 @ Apr 28th 2008 11:38AM
Another bipolar nut job. Most people with money have some serious issues.
Tager @ Apr 28th 2008 11:40AM
This lady is truly nuts. The court should rule that he has to pay for a straight jacket and then have her locked up in the looney bin. She chased an old rich guy and thought everything was great when he was paying for everything. Now she expects him to buy her a parachute as well.
carrie @ Apr 28th 2008 11:42AM
you go girl..!! dont give up .. give that ungrateful a** a good fight
sherri freeman @ Apr 28th 2008 11:44AM
Stand up for yourself. Don"t let him get away with treating you like dirt. Airing your laundry on youtube is a bit extreme, Dont you think?
Debby @ Apr 28th 2008 11:44AM
LoL.....U GO GIRL......Take that old geezer for everything you can get! Don't back down...
