'YouTube Divorce' Hits Good Morning America


Tricia Walsh Smith made a YouTube video complaining about her husband's attempt to throw her out of their apartment (and about their sex life, among other things). It got three million viewers and has now scored her an interview on Good Morning America.

On the show, she explains her reason for posting the video: "I wanted attention to my plight . . . basically for me it was a life or death situation." She paints herself as the most wronged woman in history, saying, "What was I going to do? Go live in the park?" and "I did it for survival," and "I'm hurt and nobody cared!"

The original video has been removed from YouTube, but there are some excerpts scattered around the web, and at least for now this copy of the whole thing. Some of the best lines:

The headline: "One More Crazy Day in the Life of a Phoenix Rising from the Ashes."

(Crazy is right. This is like the trophy wife's Medea.)

On their sex life: "We never had sex. He said it was because he had high blood pressure, and he was older than me. And I accepted that." But then she found porn and condoms and called him on speaker phone in front of the camera and talked to his assistant about it.

She calls her stepdaughter "nasty and evil," and complains about how his children might get his millions instead of her.

"Why would he throw me out with no money?" she says, crying on the Good Morning America couch.

Uh, we're no therapist, but maybe because she's the kind of person who would humiliate the person she claims to love on YouTube?
