Divorcing Husband Gives Wife Who Vilified Him in YouTube Video $750,000, Wife Says He's...

"Basically throwing me out on the street." Yup. Getting $750,000, as agreed in their prenup, is being "thrown out into the street."

You remember Tricia Walsh-Smith--according to the AP, she vilified husband Philip Smith in a "furious YouTube video, which has attracted more than 3 million hits. She makes embarrassing claims about their intimate life and then calls his office to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant.

"On the video, Walsh-Smith also goes through their wedding album, describing family members as 'bad,' 'evil' or 'nasty,' and expresses concern about eviction from the couple's luxury apartment."

Her routine was so over-the-top that the judge actually sided with the husband, criticizing Walsh-Smith for "a calculated and callous campaign to embarrass and humiliate her husband" in order to extort more money out of him than was in the prenup.

They were married in 1999 and, luckily for Smith, they had no children. If they had, I'm sure by now Smith would be a "child molester," a "wife-beater," and a bunch of other things.

Read the full Associated Press story here. The two are pictured.

I think the judge saved him from that fate.

I have heard preachers and pastors frown on couples getting prenups, however, in todays world, you can’t be to careful.

" This seems typical to you? No wonder you sound so bitter "
If I had a choice between being bitter and being taken for a ride, I rather be bitter, at least being bitter it will heal over time.

There could be a few legitimate reasons why a man would lose his job and he was a good worker.
Lay offs, company downsizing ( is that the same as lay offs because of lack of work ).

Yes, there are some outstanding wonderful very attractive beautiful women out there who are honest, decent, loyal, however, for men, the bad ones have left a bad impression on men that carry over onto the good ones.... it’s sad both ways.

Preemptive bitterness...All the hate, with none of the experience.
Good luck with that.

I wish the judge would take away what ever money she was going to get in the first place.

it serves him right for marrying someone based on something other than character... i bet he wouldn't even consider marrying a nice honest woman his own age... while shoe does not deserved the money, he deserves to pay $750,000...

Oh, I agree. My husband was out of work for a year, back in Tulsa in the early ‘00. We had six children then, and the 7th on the way before he found a new job. The middle children sometimes ask if Daddy can be laid off again, because it was fun when he was home all the time.

I was simply pointing out, in my earlier post, that “stable job” and “lost his job” are sort of opposites.

I admit that having eight children and keeping reptiles is a little exceptional, but, if everyone you know is miserably divorced, you’re probably hanging out with the wrong people. Visit a homeschool association!

If the Democrats have their way, it will come to " No more jobs for all of us "..... scary days we live it.
I just hope the Republicans don't let the public forget WHY we are in the mess we are in now, and WHO got us in this mess.
I hope the republicans hammer hard home the fact that it is the Democrats and Environmentalist who got us in this mess.
The Democrats and Albert Gore want us to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels, and power our homes from generators that run off of hamster wheels ( just a figure of speech in how crazy the democrats are )..... because that is what the green energy technology is, hamster/gerbil wheel power generators.....
Green energy technology is not good enough yet to power our nation at this time, and the Democrats know it.
