Angry wife uses YouTube to attack spouse
This is a new one, even for YouTube.
The Courrier Post Online reports on the wife of a major Broadway theater operator who has taken to YouTube to spill the secrets of a marriage in an apparent effort to gain leverage and humiliate the other side.
"This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary," said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. "People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post.) But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level."
In a tearful and furious YouTube video - with over 200,000 hits to date, - former actress and playwright ("Bonkers") Tricia Walsh-Smith lashes out against her husband, Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway."
