Taylor Armstrong Gets Blue with Russell

BEVERLY HILLS (LALATE) – Taylor Armstrong and Playboy’s Camille Grammer this week and next battle the blues. While Taylor Armstrong and husband Russell aren’t getting divorced, this week’s Real Housewives battles marital troubles. Armstrong went to a White Party and left blue. Meantime Camille Grammer hasn’t seen Kelsey for months; next week she’s reveals he’s asked for a divorce.
For Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans, this week proved that Bravo has matured from the trivial, fabricated, and often silly storylines of previous Housewives series to confront how marriages sometimes just progressively fall apart, need fixing, or suddenly end in a blaze of fire.
Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards celebrates her husband’s 40th birthday. It’s a night that, for Taylor Armstrong, shows something that she is lacking; a husband that can have fun when she wants to have fun.
Armstrong’s husband Russell is portrayed by the show as an outcast, a person who wants to call it night early, and most importantly damper his own wife’s fun. But is it accurate, or something created in the show’s editing?

Despite however skeptical fans might be that the Kyle and Camille feud is staged, Taylor’s tears on tonight’s episode are real. Armstrong knows that her marriage is lacking something, and yet continues, episode to episode.

But for the smiling, swirling, and cheerful Camille, she seems to have no idea that her marriage is falling apart. There rest the irony of this and next week’s episode. While one marriage (Taylor and Russell) seems to be in trouble, another one (Camille and Kelsey) is about to collapse overnight.

In the end does Taylor find happiness? Apparently not on the Reunion episode. “Good Morning! Yesterday was such an emotional day filming the reunion. Hoping for a sunny LA day to help shake off the blues” she tweeted days ago.

Armstrong suicide shakes Housewives Family says reality show 'ruined his life'

 

The mother of Russell Armstrong said her son feared being "crucified" in the upcoming season of reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Three days after the suicide of Armstrong, the estranged husband of cast member Taylor Armstrong, producers were still pondering whether to go ahead with the second season amid claims that the pressure of being on the show played a role in the tragedy.
Armstrong's mother, John Ann Hotchkiss, told cable channel HLN in an interview Wednesday she believed that being on the drama-filled reality show had slowly destroyed her son's six-year marriage to Taylor.
"Before the new season even started, before he took his life, he said, 'Mom, they're just going to crucify me this season.' He said, 'I don't know what to do. I'll never survive it.' I thought he meant business or something," Hotchkiss said.
His crumbling marriage was expected to be a key theme in the second season due to start on Sept.
5. Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce in July. The 47 year-old venture capitalist was also deeply in debt and the subject of a $1.5-million breach of contract lawsuit, according to his lawyer.
Coroners officials said he hanged himself with an electrical cord at a house in the Beverly Hills area on Monday.
Russell Armstrong had come across as cold and antisocial in the first season and was criticized by the five other women on the show.
His lawyer Ronald Richard said this week that the Armstrongs were living way beyond their means.
In the first season, Taylor threw a lavish $60,000 party for the fourth birthday of the couple's daughter Kennedy.
Armstrong's stepmother Gladys Armstrong told ABC's Good Morning America show Thursday that the Real Housewives show "ruined his life."
"Deep in my heart I know that. Russell was not what he was made out to be," Armstrong said in the interview.
Cable channel Bravo has declined to discuss the various comments by friends and relatives of Armstrong.
Bravo executive Andy Cohen said in a blog Wednesday that producers were still trying to process news of the suicide and "looking at how to proceed with the series."
Armstrong's nephew Austin Kelsoe told Good Morning America Thursday that he thought the show should go on, but he added: "Russell should be edited out in respect for Taylor and the family."
