Taylor Armstrong Says Late Husband Abused, Threatened To Kill Her


Really now, this is just crossing the line. While I'm of the believe that Russell Armstrong was a total creep while he was alive, even a creep like Russell deserves to rest in peace for a little while before Taylor goes off and tells the world what their marriage was really like (he is too the father of her freaking kid). To think I wasn't much of a fan of Taylor's before Russell's suicide, now she's completely on my shitlist:
Taylor Armstrong of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" said in a TV interview that her late husband subjected her to an abusive and frightening life. 
On a segment of "Entertainment Tonight" airing Tuesday, Armstrong talks about her marriage with Russell Armstrong, who committed suicide last month, and its effect on their daughter. 
"He grabbed me by the neck and shoved me against the wall and he said, 'If you ever make my children a pizza without a vegetable again, I'll kill you," Taylor Armstrong told "Entertainment Tonight," according to a transcript from the entertainment news program. 
The couple was estranged when Russell Armstrong, 47, hanged himself on Aug. 15. He was depressed about financial issues and problems with his wife, according to a coroner's report. 
Taylor Armstrong says she explained his death carefully to her young daughter. 
"I just told her Daddy got sick and he died, and that we could pick a star in the sky that could be daddy and that she could talk to him every night," she told "Entertainment Tonight." 
Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce on July 15. Russell Armstrong had yet to respond to her petition when he committed suicide. 
Russell Armstrong addressed rumors about the couple's problems in an interview with People magazine in July: 
"Did I push her? Yes, maybe things happened in the heat of the moment, but it was during a time in our lives that was not characteristic of who we were. This show has literally pushed us to the limit."

  1. I will admit to finally getting a chance to read the extensive, wonderful report The Daily Beast did about Taylor Armstrong and how she was the brains and impetus behind all the Russell Armstrong shady dealings. If you have wanted to know whether Taylor was the victim or the power, the article will reveal that it is Taylor all the way as the leader. Every single person interviewed says Taylor was the mastermind. I also get the feeling she puts The Director's Wife to shame in what she would do to close a deal. Fascinating read.

  4. I believe her. He was clearly nuts, but that doesn't mean she isn't nuts too. She's had multiple name changes, even passing herself off as a Ford. She was in the dirty dealings with him all the way, and put up with the abuse because she didn't wanna be poor.
