Mad wife takes her complaints to the airwaves
YouTube video of wife upset at husband
Tricia Walsh-Smith is now the poster child of what not to do when going through a divorce. Unhappy with how her husband is treating her in the divorce and unhappy with the prenuptial agreement she signed, this wife decided to make a video where she talks about how she is being mistreated, how her sex life with her husband (or lack thereof), and other various complaints. Then she posted the video to YouTube for everyone to see. While it can make fascinating video for our voyeuristic society, it will do little to advance her cause in court. In fact, it will most likely hurt her case.
Maybe she was after her 15 minutes of fame. If so, she definitely got it as the video has been viewed over 150,000 times and stories surrounding the video are everywhere. The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, CNN, People Magazine, and London Daily Mail have all run stories on the video. However, if she was attempting to help her case, I suspect the judge will be less than pleased with her starring role in her version of the War of the Roses.
Word of advice. Don't make a video lashing out at your ex or soon to be ex--it will not be well received in court.
