Real-Housewives-of-Beverly-Hills-Taylor-Armstrong-Russell-Armstrong-bankruptcy

Radar is claiming that Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce to stay on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Supposedly Bravo didn’t want the couple on the show after Russell had sent legal letters to Bravo execs threatening to sue. So what did Taylor do? She filed for divorce because TV was clearly more important to her than her staying in a toxic relationship. Fame or being battered? For her and her duck lips, it was fame. So in a way she could say reality saved her life…

An insider told Radar,

“During filming of the show, as the season progressed, Russell started sending blistering letters and emails to Bravo and NBC Universal executives threatening lawsuits. Russell was furious that Taylor had discussed their serious marital issues, including the fact that he hit her on multiple occasions, and that the fellow housewives were now talking about it on the show.

Russell would have had no legal leg to stand on because it was Taylor who was telling the girls this stuff. Bravo and NBC decided that Russell and Taylor were more trouble than they were worth, and decided to end filming with them, as soon as it became apparent that Russell was going to continue down that path.

Taylor decided to pursue the separation first, but then she thought to get back on the show, she would need to file for divorce, so that she could appear on the show again, if she promised executives that she was leaving him for good…for a very long time that she needed to leave Russell because of the verbal and physical abuse. Being taken off a show that she loved doing because of his actions was the catalyst that finally made her pull the trigger on her marriage. Russell knew he was going to be exposed and was in full damage control mode. Ultimately, there was nothing he could do to stop it.”

    How lucky for Bravo that they kept her around so they could reap the rewards of his suicide. Wow, Faiylor really has her priorities in order.

    Her face always makes me think of the Stretch Armstrong doll my kids had. Her face looks just like one of his limbs did when you’d stretch it out. Coincidence?

    I still say the whole thing was a smokescreen on both their parts from his financial shenanigans.

    I’m waiting for Kennedy’s tell all. I thought I hated Theresa but this one takes my hate to a whole ‘nother level. This holiday season Failor and the Sandusky/Penn State scandal make my dysfunctional family, hypercompetive friends and shallow materialistic community seem like Godsends. Well those people and commentgasm!

    Happy drunken holidays everybody.

    @maryedith – I think you are exactly right. Especially since his business partner also killed himself. There has to be a business connection and not just a RHOBH connection.

    @maryedith & @ Stewinberri- agree!

    I am REPULSED that Bravo has her as one of the 5 housewives to celebrate NYE with across the country. How can people allow this to happen? Bravo is like the Jerry Springer Show to me now, execept in network form. There is no low, low enough for them.

    There is so much I would like to say about Failor but I will bite my tounge b/c if I don’t, I will cement my seat in hell.

    I said it before and I’ll say it again. I want to see the reunion of this season ASAP. I know it will be smoothed over but still, there has to be some answers to all of this.

    Captcha: CUT4 (freaky)

    omg Gypsy— always love a good cap code. I have TYUL– feels a little holiday-ish.
    What the hell is Fail doing??? And Bravo– you are going to hell–I am convinced of it. Fail needs to go away for long “rest”–She is giveing a smidge of credibility to Michale Salahi and that aint no easy task. I am getting a scary feeling that Fail’s past is all coming out via a reality show— Russell’s creepy family et al.

    I know I said this before but I don’t care. I’m saying it again.

    We’re so used to thinking of abused women as these real sweet ladies that only have the 1 problem of needing help getting out of a violent domestic situation.

    But we’re wrong.

    Somebody that’s got a violence problem (which Russell admitted he had) will beat up on anybody, including fame whores with more mental health issues than Oprah’s got dollars.
