Divorcing Husband Gives Wife Who Vilified Him in YouTube Video $750,000, Wife Says He's...
GlennSacks.com ^ | 7/22/08 | Glenn Sacks

"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 am sure the gold digger will find another sucker with which to bump uglies with. IMO the woman was nothing but a high priced prostitute that didn’t get paid for what she believed she was worth for the trick.

The hilarious thing is that while she’s trying to show how put-upon she is, her actions show EXACTLY why her husband is getting out of the marriage!

Don't get married.
If you do decide to get married, think about it long and hard.
It's better to remain single and lonely than to be married and living in hell.

Men ? ( who have lots of money ) don't believe a woman when she tells you :
“ ohh now now honey, don't listen to them, why of course not, I am not marrying you for your money, they are just trying to break us up “
Men ? listen to your instincts, your family and friends when they tell you a certain woman is no good and a GOLD DIGGER.
Do yourself a lot of good and get as far away from women like this as you can, they are trouble.

I am glad the judge sided on his side, now, that is what I call equal Justice, serves her right.
We need more judges like this who see through lying women like her. I wish the judge would take away what ever money she was going to get in the first place.

Although a case can (and is) made that young women are attracted to older men based on other things than money, I've never, ever, witnessed a younger woman being attracted to an older man that didn't have money.

If women get mad when men say women are only after money, then ?
Their argument does not hold water and they are hypocrites when they argue that men are only after looks, women who are slim, trim, model types......

If you are getting the koochie for free, don’t pay for it. If you are old, don’t marry the young blonde.

I’m reminded of the conversation between two old rich guys

“She was young, willing and blonde so I married her. Our sex life went downhill fast after that until I discovered this magical little pill”
“Viagra?”
“Roofies”

Money is certainly part of it — but why not? Money equals security, safety and the best opportunity for offspring.

They used to say, “He’s a good provider” in order to put a warmer face on it.

That’s not entirely true, since most men are not of significant wealth. Money and power are attractive to a woman, sure, but there aren’t enough wealthy men to go around to make your statement true.

Women also appreciate and admire good looking women with great bodies. Men aren’t similarly impressed with handsome, well built men though.

Women are also much harder on very good looking women than men are, imputing all sorts of moral failings (golddigger, stupid, slut, etc) to them, which isn’t very well founded.

“Never trust a pretty woman, especially if she’s interested in you.”

That's not a good viewpoint - you can't be so superficial to hold a woman's good looks against her. Sure, many women use their looks to get things out of a man. I fight that by just not being responsive, unless I am already having sex with the woman regularly. Otherwise, she is on her own.

>>I’ve never, ever, witnessed a younger woman being attracted to an older man that didn’t have money.<<

When I was a senior in high school, my friends stepmom was 19. I thought she was pretty hot for an older woman. ;) They lived in a tiny, unkempt dump of a house.

An older man should never marry a woman that is as young as his children or younger. One reason is that it is a “father figure” sort of thing. And as her “father figure”, once you have sex with her, the relationship doesn’t work to her, on a psychological level.

When I was “cast out” myself at 43, a couple of “twenty somethings” stepped up to bat. But I just could not relate to them. No shared cultural experiences; they saw me as a sort of “wise sage” and there wasn’t the sort of “equality” that I would look for in such a relationship. They were older than my children, but not by much.

My wife now is six days younger than me (we’re both 54) and I am celebrating the beginning of the 11th year of our honeymoon. The last ten years have been the happiest of my life, even with the financial strains brought on by the costs associated with the dissolution of a previous life.

Young women are for young guys. They can have them.

Oh, a second reason a man should stay away from younger women is that, assuming a 20 year age difference, at 40 he can keep up with her physically. At 50 as well. At 60 he will definitely be slowing down, no matter how “fit” he is. And if he is fit, she probably is too, but she is only 40, which is almost 30, while 60 is almost 70.

And then he turns 70...

I am talking about women who marry for just that, Money.
Of course there are not a lot of wealthy men around, and yes, some women do marry your average Joe.
" Money and power are attractive to a woman, sure, but there aren’t enough wealthy men to go around to make your statement true. "
I have seen women leave their ( not so wealthy husband, but has a stable job ) husbands because he i.e. lost his job, got a physical disability......

WHEN YOU’RE IN LOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
DR. HOOK - 1979
(Even Stevens)

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman it’s hard
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman you know its hard
cause everybody wants her, everybody loves her
everybody wants to take your baby home

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman it never ends
you know that is crazy and you wanna trust her
then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Maybe it’s just an ego problem
problem is that I’ve been fooled before
by fairweather friends and faint hearted lovers
and everytime it happens it just convinces me more

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you’re in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies
cause everybody tempts her everybody tells her
she’s the most beautiful woman they know

When you’re in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

I'm not holding her looks against her. I'm confronting the reality that attractive women who are interested in me are probably so interested for reasons other than an honest relationship. It's related to that 'too good to be true' rule. I know for a fact I'm not the greatest catch, so when a good catch of a lady shows interest in me, I have to wonder why.

The main argument I was making is ?
Men ? think about it very hard before you get married.
The other part of the argument is ?
If women don't like it when they are told they are GOLD DIGGERS, then, don't complain about it when men are seen to be only going after trim, slim, models types.

Well now at least we know the going rate for old dudes getting into the matrimony sack with young vixens is $750,000.

Unless you can marry a Paul McCartney type then it ups to $40,000,000.

YouTube - Tricia Walsh Smith - The video that started it all!

I'm noticing that the last text comments at that page were from 19 hours ago.....just about the time of the judge's verdict.  hmmmmm.....

Unmarried gents take careful note....this is what you want to avoid at all costs.
