Russell and Shana/TraylorTrash Armstrong… looks are very deceiving
Shana/Traylor covered up for Russell after he punched out a “business associate”… to the tune of $10,000 dental repair bill… here.
“After a recent incident at the couple’s Bel Air, Calif., home, Taylor paid renowned Beverly Hills dentist Dr. David S. Frey more than $10,000 to repair the damage the associate sustained after being viciously punched by 47-year-old Russell, a source has revealed. “The man required a full mouth reconstruction and total teeth replacement.“
Russell and Shana/Traylor Armstrong… scammers together.
Russell Armstrong accidentally shot his sister when she was five and Russell was six-years-old… here. She feels that this incident was the basis for Russell’s lifelong struggle with violence… Russell’s family is deeply saddened.
Meanwhile, Shana/Traylor is planning a memorial for Russell… here. Will Bravo cameras be there? Money is on the Bravo cameras being there… front row seat. It’s all about the ratings…
As soon as the money dried up, Shana/Traylor took off…
Russell Armstrong’s attorney/friend says that Russell spent all that he had to support Shana/Traylor’s role on RHOBH… here.
“The attorney also disputed Taylor Armstrong’s claim that his client was abusive, and said many of the couple’s problems stemmed from alcohol. They often drank too much — including at parties they attended for the sake of the show — and Armstrong sometimes had to physically restrain his wife, Richards said.
“If you drink too much with your wife, and one person goes bananas and you grab them and say stop, I didn’t think that was domestic violence,” Richards said. “I thought that was calming your spouse down.”
Watch as a drunkass Shana/Traylor is “helped” by her husband, Russell…
Came across this video of Kim Richards while searching for the Shana/Traylor video… at the Season One premiere party for RHOBH…
Even Ice-T got somethin’ to say about Russell Armstrong… here. Ice said this about Russell’s death… ”Bad joke.. but alotta those wives would make me consider it.” And this about people trashin’ his wife, Coco: ”Hey! People love to call my wife a Hoe…. Well at least she is a WIFE.”
Good God, note to all housewives please don’t talk to the paps when you are drunk, its sloppy you look idiotic!! On second thought go right ahead its very intertaining.
while I was watching the clip from Traylor my computer was lagging really bad but it was interesting because everytime it would freeze it would catch Traylor in mid expression and she was totally on something along with to much alcohol her eyes look totally wild she is grinding her teeth. I hoped she thanked Russell later for saving her she was about to make an even bigger idiot out of herself, look at Kyle’s expressions everytime she talks or gestures, she is trying to act cool but you can tell she is pushing RHWOBH and she is really afraid Traylors gonna do something to blow it.
Poor Kim she is not a very glamorous drunk is she, someone needs to tell her “if you see a man with a camera, go the other way and for God’s sake never speak to him”.
My computer did the say thing and it made it better by seeing the loony tune, psycho look in her eyes.
Poor Kim. What a hot mess.
I know he killed himself and everything. But I really wish people would wait at least a week before speaking ill of the dead. Its not good Karma. After one week, or at least after the day of the burial, they can say all the want.
I mean no disrespect at all but I seriously cant get this song outa my head when I think of this Russel tragedy given the circumstances
Who is the red faced guy?
Are you guys going to “The Real Housewives Live Tour ?”
I don’t know whats wrong with my puter but it keeps buffering and annoying the heck out of me so I couldn’t watch til the end but so snipets so I get the jist thanks
I saw GMA this am and I think the “friend” that found him is sneaking around with Traylor – just my opinion
I can’t stand it when friends or in this case a lawyer denies domestic abuse happened in a couple’s marriage. Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors but those two people. People always criticize women for staying in a bad marriage but this is part of the reason women don’t leave. It is humiliating to be abused and then to have people question whether it even happened just adds to that humiliation. I am no fan of Taylor but certainly in this case there has been ample evidence that this guy had a problem with anger at the very least. I know this is a lighthearted site and I don’t mean to bring people down but I feel very strongly about domestic abuse and get tired of reading all the ignorant statements by some of these people in the press.
My mother in law runs a women’s abuse center. Nearly every woman returns to their partner. I don’t feel comfortable giving an actual percentage, but I know that nearly all women that go back into the abusive relationship.
She runs the shelter on native American land so I know there is more pressure to return as it is a very patriarchal culture…
As much as my view may be unpopular with some posters here, I want to clarify that this lawyer must abide by the State Bar Code of Ethics and California law regarding attorney conduct (Business & Professions Code).
Therefore, if his lawyer states there was no abuse, then that is true.
Those here who assert that there was abuse based on one party’s statements alone need to provide police reports and hospital or physician reports of domestic violence injuries. By law, these Mandated Reporters must do this or risk a Misdemeanor conviction.
At this point, the L.A. county Sheriff’s Dept and BHPD have not reported (and believe me they would if reports/911 calls existed) any physical abuse to Taylor.
Scarlette: I’m thinking that most on SH would agree with you… TFC!!! SH
I do.
Thank you for your support SH.
btw, to those who *still* think Russell was a certifiable abuser, where are the mug shots of his arrest(s) on domestic violence in California? *Where*?
If law enforcement can release mug shots of Mel Gibson and Chris Brown, then they certainly would do the same for Russell Armstrong.
Further, law enforcement would also release evidentiary crime photos of the victim with wounds as they did for Rihanna.
With the story arc of Taylor’s marriage falling apart and her (unfounded) assertions of domestic violence, I am certain that Bravo would waste no time making certain these photos reached TMZ among other media outlets such as The Los Angeles Times.
Scarlette – you make a very valid point. However there could have been abuse that was never reported. My point is that nobody but those two people know the truth. I chose not to adamantly state one way or the other if abuse took place. Certainly, both Russell and Taylor have some shady behavior in their background and that colors peoples’ opinions of them. I honestly don’t know where the truth lies. What I get so irked about is all the falsehoods that people state about domestic abuse in general. I find it sad that in this day and age that there still is so many ignorant comments made about abuse. In some ways it seems the issue still resides in the dark ages. It really saddens me for all the women sitting at home who are abused to hear these things. It will make it more difficult for them to find the courage to get out of their situation. That is the point I was trying to make.
Do you *seriously* think that Taylor would let an authentic incident of domestic abuse go by without publicity?
Especially since she could capitalize off of it and seal forever her spot on RHBH?
Taylor is not your average example.
She has/had access to the finest prosecutors in the nation for domestic violence charges; she sits on the Board of the 1736 Family Crisis Center for victims of domestic violence.
She lives in one of the most expensive zip codes in the nation with a spouse who she said was “richer than Texas.”
She has/had access to Gloria Allred, Laura Wasserman, Mark Garagos, and other high-powered law firms that could really rake Russell over for everything he had.
She has/had connections to some of the wealthiest people in Los Angeles – people who have huge homes and multiple residences who could have put her and her daughter up.
The fact that she had all of these resources and failed to use them makes her story unbelievable and she has done an injustice to all real crime victims of violence.
Scarlette: Let’s not forget that she and Russell are investors in Malibu Recovery Center… a rehab facility! http://stoopidhousewives.com/2010/11/09/taylor-armstrong-and-husband-invest-in-recovery-center/ TFC!!! SH
All I can tell you Scarlette is that all those points you make go out the window when dealing with abuse. It is a cycle and looking in from the outside it is hard for people to understand. You obviously believe she was not abused. I don’t know if she was or wasn’t but it wouldn’t surprise me if she was. That is the way abuse works. Because she has resources doesn’t mean she would use them. Abuse is humiliating and not something people like to admit. If affects all socioeconomical classes. Very educated people also who live in it for years without telling anyone. If you think she is not abused, that’s ok. You are entitled to your opinion. I don’t neccesarily disagree with you. Truth is I don’t know. That is all I was saying. Again I was talking in general terms about the things I have heard people say on tv or have read in the blogs regarding the way people act or don’t act in relation to abuse. If she wasn’t abused but is stating it, then shame on her for all those true abuse victims. Again, I respect your opinion and would ask the same respect for my opinion. That’s all. I just feel very strong about the subject as you obviously do too but I really don’t see that there is any argument between us. You believe she wasn’t abused and I just don’t know.
OK, so you have just placed yourself into the Easily Deceived category.
You are willing to make an evaluation of someone based upon nothing but hearsay, gossip, or innuendo from “un-named sources.”
This is what scammers and con-artists *count on* when they are looking for people who they can pull a fast one over.
Go ahead; believe without question the “Ford heiress” who said her husband was “richer than Texas” and who claimed on national TV that Adrienne Maloof was her daughter’s godmother.
btw, BravoTV producers asked Taylor point blank at one of the filmings if she was being abused or physically assaulted in any way. SHE DENIED ANY ABUSE TO BRAVO.
One thing: I never stated that I disrespected you for your opinion.
Any idea that somehow I “disrespect” you because we have a difference of opinion (and evidence, and proof, and verifiable, sworn witness accounts) that somehow I “disrespect” you is conjecture on your part.
I haven’t been involved in any discussions about the validity or falsehoods of Taylor’s abuse claims. These are people I have only seen on television, so there’s no way I can ever know what went on when the cameras were turned off. The way I do see it, though, is that either abusing a partner or falsely accusing a partner of abuse are very bad and the lying party needs to be exposed.
If, IF, she was abused, then she should offer up something to back up these very, very serious claims she has made against her husband. There are reports today that she suffered a cracked cheek bone, so there has to be some medical records, and I would expect a physician would have been required to report it. If she was abused and was too ashamed to seek help in the past, she seems to be openly discussing it now, so she should go ahead and provide some proof now. Many victims of abuse have said they kept it to themselves, so it would not be too surprising if she was a victim and kept it to herself, but *now* she’s openly making serious claims against her husband and she should provide some proof to back up these claims being made publicly.
If, IF, she was not abused, then she should be exposed and held accountable. Russell’s family and friends should be calling her out on it if she is falsely accusing him. If these claims are false, it seems like she should be wide open for a nasty lawsuit. I would think that if anyone falsely accused a family member or a friend, every single one of us would go after someone making false accusations with every available legal action.
That being said, I haven’t read all of the comments on this post, but the last comment by Dani seemed like she was pointing out what is commonly said about victims of abuse. They don’t always come forward, regardless of their position in life or “connections”. She wrote, “Truth is I don’t know.” That is an honest and reasonable statement. As a fellow reader new to the site, I don’t know the personality and friendships of many people posting, but I do not like when I see a comment directed at a fellow poster, such as, “OK, so you have just placed yourself into the Easily Deceived category.”
Scarlette, that is an insult to call me easily deceived. No you didn’t say I disrespected you. That was my opinion from the things that you said. You just seem angry that I refuse to acknowledge that Taylor is not an abused woman. Perhaps I am reading too much into what you say. I just think no one of us can say for sure what went on between two people. I am the one taking the heat for that. SH agrees with you and this is her site.
Dani: Woah!!! SH is open to all opinions… and there is zero tolerance for commenters attacking one another. Re Shana/Traylor’s abuse claims, there are a gazillion unanswered questions re her claims. SH is researching/reading/listening to various professionals/other sites/people re Shana/Traylor and her abuse claims… did not necessarily agree 100% with S; however, she makes excellent points. Some things re Shana/Traylor’s claims just do not add up. Will keep you posted re findings. TFC!!! SH
Dani:
You are reading too much into what I’m posting.
Thanks and have a good day.
Who is that pervy midget with the white tie glomming onto Taylor and Kyle? Gross.
