Francisco Martin and Shana Hughes’ HS photo…
Francisco Martin, Shana/Traylor’s “friend” talked with E.D. Hill this evening, dispelling “rumors” that Russell Armstrong was asking friends for Xanax and that he was broke. More about Francisco Martin… here…. and here. From his websites, Francisco sounds like a younger Russell…
Mr. Martin explained that it was not his home where Russell was found, but that he was with Shana/Traylor when they both discovered Russell.
Russell and Shana/Traylor Armstrong… Russell’s attorney is telling the truth. Shana’s friend, Francisco, is just trying to do some ‘cleaning up’…
Mr. Martin also brought up the fact that he, Russell and Shana/Traylor were investors in beautyticket.com. Interesting… when it was announced that Shana/Traylor was to be involved with this company, SH wrote a post re Shana’s involvement… here.
Beautyticket.com was a fabulous online cosmetics company… until Shana got involved. Per the post, SH has not been a customer since the Shana/Russell/Francisco takeover… here.
Ronald Richards on the Today Show… Russell Armstrong’s attorney and friend.
What Russell’s attorney/friend Ronald Richards says:
“These couples join these shows, and then they keep trying to outdo each other and they end up spending all their money trying to sustain a lifestyle that’s unrealistic and wasn’t there prior to the show,” said Richards. “The weekly social events, the dinners and all the BS, trying to pretend you have unlimited resources in Beverly Hills is tough. When every night is a potential sound bite or posting on a website, you end up getting addicted to it, you go out all the time.”
NOTE: In observing Russell Armstrong’s attorney/friend, Ronald Richards, on various media outlets and then Mr. Martin, Mr. Richards is the more ‘authentic’ of the two… it seems as though Mr. Martin is trying to do some ‘clean up’ work for scammer Shana/TraylorTrash.



Interesting. What is wrong with these women? When they decide to do hanky panky they just stick to their husband’s friends and business partners? Wasn’t Nick Kelsey’s friend first too?
What, isn’t she apart of beauty ticket no more?
I love reading this site! My favorite is the daily updates/news items about the different housewives, it looks like that’s been absent in recent days. Please bring it back- first thing I check in the morning
Thank you
All these rumors just give Xanax a bad name. That HLN video made it sounds as if he was trying to score some crack! It’s basically Valium. A favorite of many 1950′s housewives and the topic of the Rolling Stones classic “Mother’s Little Helper”. Not condoning the overuse of the drug, but geez… They made it sound so shady.
mythunker: Totally agree! In fact, what the hell was the problem with givin’ Russell a handful… just until he could get to his own MD. Geez, the guy was talkin’ like Russell was askin’ him for heroin or somethin’! TFC!!! SH
well hopefully he wanted a handful just to get him by(with a little help from his friends)till his next Dr. appt. and not to take all at once.
Praise Jesus (kisses to the sky) that I am not alone on that one. Thought maybe my drug standards were off.
Russel was broke and probably didn’t have insurance to see a dr for meds! Perhaps it may have helped… Or not! Who knows?!
