NEW YORK (AP) - An appeals court has sided with a Broadway mogul in a messy New York divorce that played out on YouTube.
The state Supreme Court's Appellate Division on Tuesday upheld a lower court ruling that granted Philip Smith a divorce from ex-wife Tricia Walsh-Smith and declared their prenuptial agreement valid. She had savaged him in a widely viewed YouTube video.
The appeals court said her move to "publicly humiliate" him helped justify their divorce on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Walsh-Smith lawyer Joseph McCaffery says he's extremely disappointed in the ruling. Smith's lawyer, David Aronson, says Smith has "moved on with his life."
Smith is co-CEO of the Shubert Organization, Broadway's largest theater owner.
