Imagine our surprise when we found out that Tricia Walsh-Smith — aka the YouTube divorce lady — actually liked the Judge Judy comic strip smackdown we created yesterday evening. She even linked it on her personal website. At least she has a sense of humor. [Tricia Walsh-Smith]

Judge Judy Vs. The YouTube Divorce Lady, Tricia Walsh-Smith
On Monday, a judge granted a divorce to Philip Smith from Tricia Walsh-Smith, on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Tricia made a name for herself in April when she began posting googly-eyed rants about her divorce on YouTube, complaining that her husband was evicting her from her Park Avenue apartment, and going on about what a terrible person he is. It seemed to have hurt her case in divorce court, as the judge upheld her prenup. So we decided to send her to a different court: That of Judge Judith Sheindlin.

YouTube Queen Tricia Walsh-Smith Says She'd "Be Better Off In Baghdad"
Tricia Walsh-Smith, the playwright who made made headlines earlier this year for posting a series of YouTube videos in which she revealed her husband, theater magnate Philip Smith, to be an erectile dysfunctioning cold-hearted guy, was divorced by said husband yesterday on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Walsh-Smith has been thrown out of the couple's Park Avenue apartment and will receive a settlement of $750,000 — the amount laid out in the prenup she signed back in 1999. Judge Harold Beeler was distinctly unimpressed by Walsh-Smith's YouTube caterwauling, and wrote in his court decision, "[Tricia] has attempted to turn the life of her husband into a soap opera by directing, writing, acting in and producing a melodrama…[it was] a calculated and callous campaign to embarrass and humiliate her husband." Tricia has called the settlement "disgusting" and added "I'd be better off in Baghdad." [Ed Note: No.] More » -

When Did Divorce Become The New Death?
Miscellaneous observations noted the day after seeing Sex & The City: The Movie and reading about YouTube divorcee Tricia Walsh-Smith in 'New York' magazine and the anxieties of the newly-slightly-less-rich in the 'New York Times', vaguely petitioning the godless void to find someone to marry me before I look like this.

New York State Court Says Dishing About Your Divorce Online Is Legal, But "Ill-Advised"
Tricia Walsh-Smith, the playwright and soon-to-be-ex-wife of theater executive Philip Smith who posted a tearful, angry rant about her divorce on YouTube, isn't the only divorcée talking about her plight on the 'net. Today's New York Times discusses the pitfalls of broadcasting a breakup for the world to see, profiling Laurie, a Manhattan lawyer who produces a podcast called DivorcingDaze and was sued by her ex-husband for telling the world he "was having an affair with his boss from e-mail on his BlackBerry." A New York State court decided that, though Laurie's podcasts were "ill-advised and do not promote co-parenting," Laurie had a first-amendment right to continue Daze.
