NEW YORK (Reuters) - A British actress who earned YouTube stardom after posting monologues about her failed high society marriage was cruel to her husband and must vacate their apartment within a month, a New York judge ruled on Monday.

Tricia Walsh Smith, 49, has until August 21 to move out of the swank Park Avenue apartment belonging to Broadway producer Philip Smith, 77. The apartment provided a backdrop for some of Walsh Smith's video monologues, which have been seen by millions of viewers on the YouTube Web site.

Philip Smith, the president of the Shubert Organization which owns Broadway theatres and stages shows, had sued for divorce on the grounds the videos constituted spousal abuse. He was ordered to pay Walsh Smith $50,000 (25,000 pounds) immediately and, within 30 days, $700,000 promised under the couple's prenuptial agreement, signed before their 1999 wedding.

Or, of course, a musical. At a Shubert Organization theatre.
