Tricia Walsh-Smith, actress and playwright, gave us a new phrase and a new phenomena; the “YouTube divorce.”

Well, somehow we did not think she would be a one-hit wonder.

As she divorces her multimillionaire husband, Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization which owns seventeen Broadway theaters, she continues to turn a legal proceeding into a viral video phenomena with her second video, “YouTube Superstar Tricia Walsh-Smith”… “a response to the responses.”

“How dare you! I am speaking my truth!” she says, and quite a bit more….

Tricia Walsh-Smith and her YouTube divorce saga were recently featured on ABC’s Good Morning America.

While some believe Walsh-Smith’s video was a stunt designed to put pressure on her husband during their divorce proceedings, the actress said that sentiment is untrue.

“I don’t think lawyers and eviction papers — being thrown out with debt is a stunt,” said Walsh-Smith, who began to cry as she described the situation with her husband. “That’s kind of a really stupid thing for anybody to think I’d do this as a stunt. It was either me or him.”

Walsh-Smith said she needed to make sure people knew she needed help.

“What was I going to do? Go live in the park?”

She did admit the video and its public showing was theatrical.

“I knew that I had to get attention,” she said. “This was my survival. And I know that to get attention you are sensational and funny. I wasn’t mean and I edited it. I got the woman with the camera; I edited and I was careful.”
