Husband Wins Divorce From Angry YouTube Wife

Remember the YouTube divorce story from earlier this year? The sad and disturbing tale of theater tycoon Philip Smith and his wife, actress Tricia Walsh-Smith, who posted a series of scathing and demeaning YouTube videos when Philip asked for a divorce? Well, the court case is over, and Smith has "won" -- or at least as much as anyone can win when there's a pre-nuptial agreement involved.

The agreement, signed before the two exchanged vows, states that Tricia must move out of the couple's New York apartment within 30 days of the finalized divorce, the core issue that sent her off on her Internet rampage That rampage didn't win her any points with the judge, who approved the divorce and said of Tricia: "She has attempted to turn the life of her husband into a soap opera by directing, writing, acting in and producing a melodrama."

Though she said she was "really, really disappointed," Tricia didn't come off too badly in the end -- she was awarded $750,000 as part of the agreement. That's more than we would have paid her, for sure. [Source: AOL News]
