...Russell Armstrong
Russell Armstrong was the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong. We all saw how their marriage was unraveling on the show thus why when she filed for divorce from him last month it came as no surprise. Sadly he committed suicide at the age of 47. Though the coroner has not done an autopsy, multiple reports have come out saying that he hanged himself at his house or his friend's house. Many people think that bad press and financial stress lead to him taking his life. Taylor previously reported that he pulled her hair and pushed her a few times. A restraining order was filed by his ex wife in 1997 as well. He filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2005, claiming he had less than $50,000 in assets ... and debt somewhere between $1 and $10 million. He was a successful investment banker who made most of his money during the dot com era of the 90's. I remember on the show when another housewife, Lisa, alleged that maybe Taylor was staying married to Russell because she was into "the life", the good life of the typical well to do Beverly Hill's kept woman. It seems life Russell was into it as well and it cost him a lot. I am sure there is much more to this that only her, Taylor and a few other know. Taylor's rep released this statement on her behalf, "Taylor Armstrong is devastated by the tragic events that have unfolded. She requests privacy at this time so that she may comfort her young daughter. Her thoughts and prayers are also with Russell's 11 and 13 year old sons." Bravo also released a statement, All of us at Bravo are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Our sympathy and thoughts are with the
Armstrong family at this difficult time." I am giving this news a Digit Down. Though many viewers of the Housewives' series love drama, this is not the kind that we like.
