The judge said Tricia Walsh-Smith has the right to post videos saying whatever she wants to online but he ordered her not to film the rants in the Park Avenue apartment she formerly shared with her husband, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

Lawyers for her estranged husband, Philip Smith, sought the order after Walsh-Smith posted two videos on the Web site discussing her divorce and saying she never had sex with her husband, who is more than 25 years older then her, during their nine-year marriage.

Smith's lawyer, David Aronson, said Walsh-Smith filming the videos in the apartment invaded his client's privacy.

"She had a film crew in the apartment. She showed family pictures, his daughter," Aronson said in court.

Smith has sued his wife for divorce, claiming her behavior toward him has been cruel and inhuman, the Post said.
