On last night’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills…
Guests at Kyle Richards’ White Party confront Russell and Taylor Armstrong upon their arrival…
Watch as Shana grins and smirks as Russell defends her… not knowing exactly what she told all the other Housewives…
… staying cool while all around her fight!
NOTE: Interesting… toward the end of the video, Russell can be seen taking off his mic. Kind of a strange thing to do if he were “in” on everything going on! Shana seems very sure of herself.

STOOPID HOUSEWIVES
What. the. HELL!!!! If I think Kyle was a bit over dramatic in crying but what I WOULD be crying about what might happen to Taylor now that I have been confronted by my friends about what I told them in front of my husband who beats me. I would feel bad for Taylor that she would get yelled at or worse when she gets home. But that whole thing about suing…they are sue happy in that town! Taylor would be caught in a huge lie because all her friends would say what she told them and she would deny it out of fear of Russell and so she would loose them OR she would say that the lawsuit didn’t have merit cause it was the truth and then everyones time and money would be wasted. But Traylor doesn’t care cause she is the center of attention
GAH I cannot STAND her. I think she is the first ‘victim’ I have had NO sympathy for.
Russell keeps repeating “if what I was told was true.” Loved the way Adrienne shut Taylor up though. Called her out on her BS. Loved it!!!!
Yes, I caught that too. I was so happy that Adriene & Paul shut Taylor up and called her out on her BS, Luv Luv Luv it! Agree with you melissa
LOVE!!!
“Love” is special. xxo
I find it odd he didnt say, if what Taylor told me is true. He never came out and said she was the source of the “rumor”. Like it could have been the camera man that told him what happened. I think he was afraid to out her in front of her friends or he had some reservation about what she had told him happened.
Didn’t cameraT say that it came up in a therapy session with Soxless and R? If so, as I’ve said before, all she has to do is authorize Soxless to release the notes.
Good point. I wonder if the therapist’s head is spinning seeing Taylor spin it on the show. Hopefully as a professional he’s recognizing by now that Taylor is s sociopath and plays everyone for fools.
I know… He’s thinking, “WhereTH are my freakin socks?! Damn she’s good!”
No such luck, according to his Twits he is riding this for all the fame he can wrench out of it.. scummy sockess wonder.
Hey MP!! How are you!!
Hi Dani, I must have had to jump off right after I posted. I just now saw this. Big Howdy to you and I’m doing fine.
I want to know what is “SoberHouse” girl doing there? Hell, I can’t even remember her name. She can deal with all the addicts behavior on Dr.Drew, but she let Kim and Brandi just go on and on? Brandi should have walked away…Kim would have found another target, what with her showing off and all in front of her boyfriend. If her behavior didn’t bother Ken, then there is a problem. He thought she was cool?
cc/mc: Ya gotta be quick on SH!!! LOL!!

Click, I think Brandi handled it as well as she did _because_ of sober house chica.
I don’t think Brandi was prepared on game night and now she gets it, with sober chica’s help.
Obvi she didn’t handle it perfectly, but I thought she did pretty well! You know, for a reality show show down anyways.
It seems a shame that with all the women out there who are seriously abused and in some cases with their lives at risk to have this story line. It’s one thing to shine a light on a very real problem all too many women endure. I would like to think that Taylor/Shana would not fabricate such a story to ensure a spot on a reality TV show but I am afraid that it seems that’s exactly what she’s done. What a dis-service to the many who legitimately suffer. Bravo needs to step up and end this farce of a story line. The man is dead and there is no one to refute these claims. Enough already
P.S. yes I’ve sent me emails to protest to all parties.
I agree! The extent that Taylor has gone with all of this is just too much. Manipulative witch! Bravo doesn’t care who they hurt, and the fact that they continue to air Russell is just really sad for his sons and family. Shame on Taylor! It seems she will never learn. She needs to stop playing the “victim.” There are so many women who deal with abuse every single day, and for this despicable woman to make herself look innocent as if she has never done anything wrong is just upsetting to see. Kennedy is gonna have an even harder life knowing that her mother only cares about fame and money. Taylor’s mentality is not all there, and I feel she has bipolar disorder or personality disorder because she can just switch in just 1 second and charge at anyone, and the next she’s smiling like a crazy sociopath. She’s really frightening & strange.
Who is Shana? I have been reading her name here and “Taylor/Shana”…I’m confused. Can you help me understand? Thanks!
Shana is Taylor – read some of the archives here on this site – she has a bunch of names as she is a grifter…for real – we’re not playing. A real honest to goodness grifter.
Thanks! I went back and read some and just REwatched the last two weeks episodes.
That is a look of a man that knows not of what his wife said. This is sad. Shame on bravo for airing this.
Exactly Delia…Viewers are not as dumb as Bravo/Taylor think we are. I mean when we here watch as Taylor spins her web it literally gets us stomach sick. I really believe that we as human beings truly do get a gut feeling, ya know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you just know that a person is “bad news”, just plain evil. Well that is how I feel about Taylor Armstrong. I had that feeling with Kelly Bensimon, but that was more of a “yuk, strange’, something was/is mentally off with Kelly, but I’m sorry there is something just “pure evil” wrong with Taylor and its time for Bravo to get her off and also she should be asked to show proof of her abuse claims with the pictures she put out there. I cant believe she is keeping this lie up, I mean there are pics every where on the internet that prove she did not undergo the extensive surgery she claims.
Why was Dr. Paul looking at Taylor’s jaw that day through the gate at Lisa’s house? I assumed she did have surgery by the way he was looking and talking about healing. ???
He had injected face fillers in her “naturally thin face” and he was checking on that. She didnt tell him about her broken jaw because he would have told her to her face she was a lair liar pants on fire.
So true. I’m thinking maybe he and Adrienne cooked up some ploy (the beauty night at his office) to give him a chance to really examine her and determine whether or not her story of a broken jaw was true. I really think the two of them have discussed T&R at length and may have been looking for any opportunity to distance themselves.
You are absolutely right, Dr. Paul would know if her jaw had been broken at sometime. I am so disgusted with Taylor. I feel such great sadness for Russel;s sons. Not only do they have to deal with the stigma of suicide and loving/missing their father forever, they have to be subjected to this crazy woman’s lies about their father. Those boys have way to much to deal with. I pray they have great support from family, not only right now, but forever because their pain will never go away, it will change, but will never go away.
If I remember she had some lumps in her face from filler that were supposed to calm down. I could be wrong. Who knows since her face has been done so many times. That black eye was probably from a cheek implant.
Yeah pause this video at 1:45 It looks like her old cheek implant is about to burst out of her face .. so she obviously needed a replacement.. hence the titanium cheek.
Until Shana and all involved have stepped forward to cleanse themselves, it will feel like evil has won. It may not have taken a pure man, but it took a father, son, and brother.
amen!
AMEN to you both.
Rip Russell.
Amen.
Everyone alive is eligible for redemption, no matter what. He didn’t get the chance at that, and it makes me really sad.
Justice is hunting down Shana Hughes now. She will be running from this for the rest of her life, unless she repents.
I felt bad for him because he was literally mumbling “if what I was told was true.” like a chastised child
Oh my god. I can’t watch it after you’ve described it like this. It’s too heartbreaking.
I think it was a mighty long trip back to vegas It takes about 4 hrs from LA TO LV
can you imagine 4 hrs of silence.
I bet this is when the pushing and shoving started
They said they flew. Not a 4 hour flight.
I think its only and hour flight.
Taylor had Russel fooled so bad, Imagin how that man must of felt? O0o, how can she even sleep at night? I guess this is what evil looks like.
He sure was fooled alright! She knows how to work her way around him. Of course she’s evil. She’s a crazy nut job, and acts like a sociopath. Ya can’t mess with crazy! I felt bad that Kyle was crying because she really cares for Taylor, but she should have been harder on Taylor because Taylor’s bullshit has gone on far too long!
I think it poignant that Russel is removing his microphone in the car. He was done and was chased down for more and it is just so unfair for that camera to be in that car and for him to really see what the deal was. I seriously think this was his A HA moment and its just so sad.
ITA DMB!!!!
I think this was his a-ha moment, too, when Adrienne, Paul & Mauricio basically told him it was what Shana said, not a fabrication and not an exaggeration, but what that unholy sucubus sitting next to him said about him behind his back.
Yea, it looked that way – didn’t it? They all have her “number” don’t they.
Yes, now they need to stop emotionally and financially supporting her, tell the truth and lose that number. Right now on the show, it’s obvious they don’t believe her , but since Russell’s death and in real time they have all been giving her “their support”. Still playing victim and still and still friends with them. I just don’t get it, I don’t. After all of that going down and Lisa finding out about the emails that Taylor knew about, the ones Kyle didn’t tell her about and let Lisa sound like a fool defending Taylor, I would have blocked her out of my live forever. Are they doing this til the season is over and they are going to call her on it, or are they really standing by her??????????
The witch was quick with her reply wasn’t she ? “She (Camille) told an exaggeration of the story I told her”..and then the smirk on her face in the car when Russell repeats, “if what I was told what she truely said is true”. This was sickening to watch. And since those creeps at bravo were showing this , why didn’t they continue to film what kind of conversation Shana and Russell had in the car after leaving the party.I am sure he had lots of questions for her. Ohh.. that’s right, then we would have proof on film of how she was BS’ing Russell.
Well, they can’t because they Bravo and Taylor are covering their asses. If Bravo thought she was being beaten at that point, of course they would have tried to help her wouldn’t they? Unless it was all bullshit drama, of course.
@ kas – They did continue to film and will air what happened in the drive home. There’s a bit of a preview of it on bravotv’s website. Russell says “That’s an out-and-out lie” then Taylor kinda smirks.
Taylor said what Camille said came up in therapy and that Russell knew all about it. From that we know they were talking about Russell having abused Taylor because no Therapist would treat them together after that or recommend them not separating.
Taylor’s lies caught up with her.
Agree, ‘specially considering that moment too way longer to film than what we saw. By the time production “got their shot” he was finished. Haunting”just let us go”
I keep thinking back to what Russell told his Mother before he killed himself: “Mom, they’re just going to crucify me this year.” He had no idea going into the Season what the Hell was going on, but drip by drip he’s getting it (as we are seeing).
I think he, at some point, figured out what was going on, how naive he’d been and that he was married to a sociopath.
And beyond that. I’m one of the many who isn’t really watching this season (I see only clips here when posted from time to time) and the reason for that was the whole Russel debacle but I gotta say, a bit of me is happy it is playing out. There is no way any normal human being can feel any sort of sympathy for that woman seeing this footage. It is vindication in a strange way.
That’s exactly how I feel about it. I’m sickened that Bravo is airing footage after his tragic death because of the children he left behind however I’m thrilled that this is exposing Taylor for the vile creature she is. I hope she gets the boot and is ousted from the BH social scene she covets so.
I so agree, and I hope for Russell’s sake and the sake of the people that were taken in scams by Taylor hold her accountable for everything she did to that man. His family can have a lawyer get all of the footage of the dangerous game she was playing with this man’s life and take her to the next level and expose everything about her. Had Bravo not shown this footage we could all be still thinking she was abused. I have do doubt that something may have happened after Taylor and Russell left that nite, because she is announcing over the phone that her marriage is over on the Bravo site preview clips while the rest are in Hawaii. Loved that Paul threw that ” oh and there is a problem with the Hawaii trip” just before they left. Yeah Paul. I heard that that was the reason filming was stopped for a short period of time over the summer, when the lawsuit against Camille hit the fan, not that Taylor couldn’t film due to injuries suffered at the hand of Russell’
This episode was profoundly sad on so many levels. Russell was being “played”.
I know there has been a load of information discovered about Taylor – other than his previous marriages, does anyone know more about Russell and his history? I am wondering if he had legal/ financial troubles prior to hooking up with Taylor.
Another question I would like to put before everyone is… have you considered the fact that Russell did not commit suicide but rather was murdered? Here is what puzzles me:
*The autopsy report indicated wounds on his elbows/arms (I really shouldn’t even know this – TMI)
*His partner in Tiger 21 committed suicide outside Russell’s home a few days later.
*Is Tiger 21 a legit group or did they scam the wrong people. I read somewhere that you had to have 21 million to join. That is a lot of wealth and maybe wealth earned by unsavory means. Maybe they scammed the wrong person.
*In the area where the “suicides” took place there was that high-profile alleged suicide where the wealthy guy’s son died and his girl friend took her own life…. only they think it was murder. Several news stories have mentioned the poor coroners office in the area which would be the same one that took care of Russell and his friend.
*one other crazy point to ponder – suppose if he did take his life it was because Taylor cleaned out the off-shore accounts that they allegedly had. Right before it happened, his lawyer said he was having problems with getting his money/ credit cards…… or Taylor could have just charged them up.
Thoughts?
He got into major legal trouble for a scam business deal in the 90′s I believe. He was never the successful entrepreneur/investor he claimed to be.
Graceloved: That other case you refer to, “wealthy guy’s son died and his girlfriend took her own life” is down in Coronado in San Diego county. Russell’s death was in LA county. Not the same coroner, not the same county, over 100 miles away in fact. In this case the son (a child) died from falling down the stairs, the girlfriend from hanging. These deaths may indeed be suspicious but not in the same way Russell’s may seem. Just an FYI.
I believe Russell was murdered. Take a look at his autopsy again. He had more injuries than what you stated. His biz partner was too. Who decides to shoot… outside of their car? If suicide, why didn’t he just sit in his car and take care of, it? Tiger 21 is legit. They def scammed the wrong people. Traylor called said people to tip them off and let them in on where R was living… Maybe got a cut. Who knows? Wouldn’t put anything past Miss “Keep Looking”. Why was Schram, the other guy just up the street when he died? Maybe they had R call him, but Schram tried to get away…
Kyle herself is a piece of work.
If she “believed” in her good friend why would she confront both Taylor and Russell when it could have led to Skanko getting another beating from this man?
They all got together in a group and made a beeline for both of them without giving any thought to the effect this may have on Russell when he was being “exposed”.
And Kyle’s “breakdown” was just over the top. All she had to do was to keep Camille and Russell from each other by giving them each a warning of the other’s presence since that house looks large enough to get away with that plus she had 200 invited guests that would make this possible.
But no, we had to be treated to Kyle employing her fake acting chops with tears and heart palpitations. Along with Kim playing the role of Clint Eastwood the entire episode was bizarre.
I loathe the whole cast. ( Well, maybe not Paul.)
So true Katie…Dont you just “love” her acting ( Kyle that is)?…NOT! And did you see her looking at the camera ( on accident) when acting at the limo crying??? So Fake and bad…very bad acting.
I think this is proof that none of them believe Taylor’s abuse allegations
I loved the, “Does he?” part of Kyle’s “fake acting”. Classic
Me too Romo, ” Does he” in that voice… excuse me , have to heave now! LOL
I totally liked the implication of Kyle’s “Does he?” question. Was it a freudian slip?
Because it showed that regardless of what Kyle says, she really does not believe Taylor tells the truth.
I guess this is as good a place as any to post this. I cannot stand watching Kim on this show. The woman is such a skank. And her threats of violence toward Brandi are repulsive. Seriously, she’s gonna hate on someone because they use the “f’ word? Well boo, hoo, she’s gonna hate millions of Americans then. And her boyfriend looks like Shrek. Disgusting. And she maintains her boobs are real? Hahahahaha!
Hopefully she stays in rehab for the next year. She has no business being on this show; they should can her.
Remember when she claimed ” she hates people who use FOUL words” and then she turns around and uses them herself? hmmmmmmm????
I felt sorry for her daughters. She actually tried to drag one of them in to say more nasty things to Brandi. As I said, a skank.
Me too and your right, she did try to drag one of them in to gang up and say more nasty things to Brandi. I cant even say on Ms SH site what words I have about her… skank is a good one thou
Aw. I wuv my glamourous ray of sunshine testing the boundries of obscene un-sobriety while shining like a disco ball of insanity! I can’t help it. She’s like a lonely little petunia in onion patch.
Oh Kim, I still love ya even if these folks don’t!
Mythunker, I am sorry I missed your comment ( really I am) I luv your comment ‘ boundries of obscence unsobriety while shining like a diso ball of insanity, while like a lonely petunia in an ONION patch. Hahaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Bless your heart, and I do not hate Kim…. we want her to get help and stay with it. I love ya… and so do many, folks do!
“my glamourous ray of sunshine testing the boundries of obscene un-sobriety while shining like a disco ball of insanity”
Cracked me up Mythunker! Thanks for making me laugh!
Did anyone else notice Kim’s high ponytail doing the splits while she was bobbling her head? It split right now the middle while she was attacking Brandi, All i could think of was kyle doing the splits all of the time, lol
Perfect description! She just seems so lost and crazy that you have to love her. Plus she did an awesome impression of Brandi during their fight.
And then the “Damna touch ma tt’s” scene was right in front of her teenage son. That woman talks out of both sides of her mouth. Who is she to blast on anyone’s “trucker mouth” when she is acting like a busted up lot lizard in front of her kids that are her …ahem.. life.
Exactly! I kept thinking wtf last night watching Kim and Dana. Awkward!
I want to hit Damna in the head with a frying pan. Why? 2 reasons: to shut her up for at least 30 seconds. I also hope to rid her of that annoying laugh.
Is that bad?
Sorry I’m posting late on this thread but I watched this episode again last night & what killed me was when Kimmie is having dinner with her daughters before the white party telling them about proper manners when you do not like someone & giving it to GOD, etc then she goes to the White Party & does the exact opposite but she obviously had a few coctails (1 or 2 or 12) which generates the finger pointing, head bobbing, pony tail swirling freak show….then my favorite…”if Brandi likes that broken leg then she’s going to get another one” or something incoherent like that. Zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket!
I know Kimmy was just wanting her girls to suck it up and shut up about her boyfriend. And I cant remember the exact words but she was sorta telling them not to tell everything they know about the situation if someone brings it up … very telling and not exactly “I live for my kids” material. Bad secret-keeping behavior( I hope she has learned not to do that in therapy) Neither was the “my daughter has something to say to you” to Brandi at the White Party. The daughter looked stunned. Would have been funny if she would have walked right up to Brandi and said “Yeah I do have a thing or two to say to you…. Thank you and can we come live with you?”
*live with you
Duffy, I hate to break it to ya, but that wasn’t wine!
MT, you are correctamundo!….I had a momentary lapse of reason and forgot who we were talking about for a minute! She was mixin’ her uppers/downers/sidewayers……..
I’m not sayin’ her diet coke wasn’t spiked though!
I have read in the past that it is in the housewives contracts that they are not allowed to sue one another. Was Russell’s threatened lawsuit against Camille creating problems for Taylor? If Russell was innocent of spousal abuse, he would (rightfully so) want to defend his name. But Taylor, knowing she disclosed abuse to her castmates, must have been FLIPPING when Russell took this action. Was separating from Russell Taylor’s only recourse to make sure SHE was not part of legal action against Camille? Did Taylor leave Russell so that she could keep her spot on the cast?
I would expect that all of the cast members had to sign a waiver of litigation clause in their contracts. Russell was a cast member, so he would have been bound by this also. But after watching tonight’s episode, I could almost understand why he offed himself. If he didn’t beat his wife, this story line was one helluva defamation of character, no? Then again, I believe he had a conviction for domestic violence against his first wife in Texas.
Just because I drank like a fish when I was in my 20′s and drove drunk (I’m sorry to everyone) doesn’t mean I’d do it now. I use that example because I don’t think we can just assume that because Russell had the abuse claim (or conviction – too lazy to look it up right now) against him that he also abused Taylor. There is such a thing as learning from your mistakes if you chose to take that path
Agreed!
AGREE!
I think the fact that he had visitation with his other children says a lot. I don’t think either of his Ex’s would put their children in an abusive environment.
Yes Mimi, I read a couple of days ago that when all of this was taking place production had to shut down and Taylor was threatened with being kicked off of the show right then because of the pending litigation threats. I know everything you read on line is not the truth, but it rings true about this. This would be the time frame when Taylor was claiming the busted eye or jaw as well I believe. I think it was on Brandy’s blog last week or the week before, she started her blog with “we’re back”, or something to that effect and thought, that sounds like an odd thing to say. Then I read the article about production having to shut down because none of the women wanted to film with Taylor. I guess that was when she decided she loved the camera’s more than Russell and separated from him and used abuse as the excuse. When Shana chose the camera’s and the show over Russell it must have hit him hard because that was along the time when he claimed they would crucify him, wasn’t it? Still have to put my disclaimer in and say I don’t believe it was suicide, In my heart I strongly believe that he and his business partner’s death should be looked into as homicides. Maybe Taylor knew that they had all gotten involved with the wrong people and there were known threats out there (a couple of articles have mentioned Russell and Taylor were dealing with people and that it involved Vegas money, ) Perhaps Taylor’s fear of losing her life was more about those people coming after her if she couldn’t convince them to buy into the Russell forced me to do it , he abused me and made me be involved??? Just a thought.
They have clipped and chopped so much of this season you really can’t tell what took place in which time frame as far as dates go and trying to come up with a timeline.
I know our wonderful SH is researching all she can to come up with an accurate one for us as she has said she working on one, it will be interesting to see how the real timeline of events occur as opposed to how the events played out during the season. For all of Shana’s cries of abuse and feeling her life was threatened she sure did spend a lot of time with Russell after the announcement of the separation and divorce filing came out.
Taylor has lied to everybody – She lied to all of the ladies and then she lied to Russell. She stirred that pot so much that it all bubbled out on her. Taylor is sick. While Im on the subject of sick so is Kim i know she has a drinking problem and probably a drug problem also, I hope I do not see either one of these ladies on Bravo again.
SH: your next post should read… Did Bravo Finally Expose Shana. This episode was very telling. What I took from it is that no one, not the cast, not the husbands, nor the producers believed Taylors story. But Russell did something unexpected, and very unfortunate. But they still had to tell the story but paint Taylor in a less harsh light.. So they let her dig her hole in the PR campaign and edited the footage accordingly. They have hundreds of hours of footage. Yet we as veiwers are all drawn to not sympathize with her story. I dont think that is a coincedence. Taylor will be exposed hopefully on the reunion. But if you watch past episodes you can see all the lies building, and all her interactions with everyone including the husbands. and tonight the shit hit the fan
Does anyone know why Taylors pic is not on Bravos RHOBH blog like all of the other ladies. I have been trying to find out. its driving me nuts!
I have no idea, but it seems people sure want their comments about her posted.They are commenting under her last blog from season 1, which you can still read on the Bravo page, if you click on season 1. There are many posted about this season .
Out of respect for Taylor and her grief losing Russel no doubt! LOL
She hasn’t blogged all year but if you go to year one, or season one, people have been leaving her some not so nice comments on last year’s final post she had put up.
Dr Paul said something at the limo about “there was a problem with the truth”I think he looked directly at Russel at that time Perhaps the one moment when he was trying to man to man let the dude know.
@madepiley – yeah, I’ve been thinking about that. I think Paul said “The problem is that you [Russell] were lied to” or “the problem is that she [Camille] was lied to.” And he said this as he was looking at Taylor, and she sat there & took it.
Fed up I agree 100%.
I agree with the theory that Bravo might be slowly unraveling Taylor as the scammer she is. It certainly appears to be the case because if they wanted to make her more of the victim, they might abide by Russell’s families requests to not have him shown, therefore, we would only get Taylor’s words and reactions. Not show the telling Russell reactions to the web of lies she’s spun.
This is one reunion show I think I will make sure to catch. I wonder if it will all come out.
That is exactly what I posted a few days ago, Bravo knows that people are thinking badly of them for allowing Russell’s scenes to be shown, but I strongly believe that it is with the intent to show that it wasn’t Bravo making Russell out to be an abuser, that is was Taylor that was making the allegations about the hardcore physical abuse and doing it ,, BEHIND the cameras, They may have been told that their marriage problems would be aired, but then Taylor took it to an entirely different level without his knowledge. Taylor is being edited as cold, ruthless, threatening others with physical and verbal abuse, and a big mouthed LIAR She took out words from what Lisa said and made it into something totally different, then tried to get all of the other ladies to back her up when she confronted Lisa, EPIC FAIL. Russell is looking like he withstood some serious abuse from Taylor and altho he was no saint, I seriously don’t believe a word out of the widow Armstrong’s Big Billy Bass mouth.
How ungracious to treat someone that way when you have told them you are being abused and Lisa opens her home to her if she needs help, yet they were going to try to sue her ( which no one even told LIsa about!) Letting people go on and on about oh you poor thing, you need to eat, you are wasting away thru all of this, and the truth is she is taking diet pills. How diabolical this woman is !!!! I would love to read a REAL story about her life, I can only imagine the things she has had to pull off in her past. Maybe one day a reputable television show or writer will dig alllllllllll the way back and find out just who exactly this crazy woman is cause she probably has hundreds of horror story skeletons in her closet about what she has done and the ways she has treated people in her past. As long as no proceeds would go to her, I would read or watch that just to know how many victims she left on the side of the road.
SO TRUE!!!!!
Poor confused Russell
I know lisa, that poor manipulated man
Here’s another hole in the whole damned story:
Russell was being confronted by the “mob” about the e-mail and his explanation was that he merely asked why she would say those things. Yet they kept yelling at him about his referring to a lawyer and he kept denying it.
They all went on to say that they all read the e-mail. When? How? This was supposed to have happened to Camille the day of the White Party and Russell and Taylor were in Las Vegas. So how did all these people get to “read” the e-mail?
Then Paul said “I believe Camille”. Believe what? What she repeated at the Tea Party or what was in the e-mail.
It wasn’t enough that they all blocked his passage into the house but then felt it necessary to chase him into the back seat of the limo still demanding answers.
Sickening since we know the effect it had on him.
Meanwhile in anothe part of the house Kim was threatening to break Brandi’s other leg. Have they ever had a get together when threats of violence weren’t on the menu?
As we can see now, Traylor set him up BIG TIME and had everyone against him! And Kim was a little 12yr old biotch threatening Brandi and mocking her, WHO DOES THAT AT her age? She was pitiful!
When Paul says “I believe Camille.” It was my understanding the context was that Camille was repeating what Taylor had told her and NOT exaggerating as Taylor claimed. Because it was discussed in front of camera, Taylor told Russell (because it was going to come out eventually) and convinced Russell that Camille was spreading dv rumors. The fact that Taylor could try the “exaggerated” line is repulsive.
I also noticed, that when the car was pulling away, Russell graciously left the party but Taylor was nasty and unpleasant. She has a real mean streak and temper. Like a true narcissist (sociopath?), she only thinks of herself and has no consideration for others. She is truly angry at the hosts and Paul & Adrienne that she is being turned away from the party, she doesn’t “get” it. I’m not saying the Russell was innocent. Sadly, we will never know that, but it is clear from the footage this season & last that Taylor has a violent temper and is liar. I know this is so wrong, but I could see how Taylor could drive a man to do horrible things, as only remembers what other have done and refuses to own her part. She is a very toxic person. Makes me feel sad for Kennedy and Russell’s sons.
I am slow like a turtle…but I had gone back WAAAYYY back to all of Ms SH’s posts of Shaft and earlier one, if I remember correctly, the reports were that Adrienne & Shaft were going to get into it big time this season so I’m wondering if this was a part of it because Paul & Adrienne do not buy into this either? Sorry I was down memory lane the other night so I did not post the links……..
Also, Ms SH posted the post beautiful picture of Russell & Kennedy (a black & white) on a post way back when…..it was great…actually….cuter than any picture I’ve ever seen of Shaft & Kennedy……I am sorry that I cannot repost because Ms SH knows better than anyone when I try and do that, huh, Ms SH???? I just mess up everything! Can the great and wonderful Ms SH do it?
It probably would would put things in perspective of what we all know…he was a good dad!
duffy: That will be a job for my Becky! BECKY!!! It will be included in a near future post! Just for you!! TFC!! SH
Thanks Ms SH…and Thanks Becky! I know the newer posters will love it, well, all of us will love the pic…it’s really a beautiful pic of a father & daughter together….it fits perfectly with what we’re talking about and MAN! you so had SHAFT pegged early on! Thank you for being the Voice of reason & giving us a place to voice our opinion!
I remember seeing it too. I was looking around the sight for more stuff on Taylor, myself. It shows her smiling away and she looks so cute. Usually she has scowl on her face.
Oh, I almost forgot. The reason I was looking at pics in the first place. I think I saw it here, there was a pic of the Armstrongs meeting with Princess Diana and Prince Charles. For some reason it bugged me, now I know. It HAS to be fake since Princess Diana passed away in ’97 and the two were separated for a while before that even happened. Taylor and Russell have only been together since about ’04 right?
Shaft & Russell met Prince Charles in June 2007…Shaft wrote a $20,000 to his charity after Russell had declared bankruptcy (you know, that’s how it works…ahem)
Uh, one can forward an email.
Katie: Adrienne and Paul talk about the email at the beginning of the show, which for some reason I can’t remember right now, seems to be at least two or three days before the party. Then we’re supposed to believe that Adrienne didn’t call Kyle until two hours before the party?!?! Yeah, I don’t think so.
And if they wanted to get to the bottom of it why didn’t they all just pile into the limo and ask Russell OK, what the hell did Traylor tell you, and then tell him exactly what Traylor told them?? It’s not like Bravo hasn’t had big confabs in limos before.
I think they may well have. I ‘spect that one limo scene took 2 hours or more to film.
MP: I think you said this on another post, about Paul saying there’s a problem with the truth, which is what I thought too. But on replay, I think he says problem with Hawaii. He is really way too concerned with that Hawaii trip!!!
I would be concerned too. Who wants to go on a vacation with a feuding couple? especially when threats of lawsuits are used as a silencing scare tactic?
Shana thought people would embrace her the poor wittle victim but her plan exploded in her face.
And she got nasty fast didnt she? I paused my tivo right after Russel said “so what do you suggest” the look of evil on Taylor’s face was spooky. Could almost hear her thought bubble. “yall better play ball!” When they didn’t she got all passive aggressive with the We will just fly back to vagas, love you!” Nasty woman.
Madepiley I thought the same thing. Look at her getting all pissed because she got caught. Then she turned it right around on Kyle with the “go have fun at your party” while Kyle was crying about having to turn her away. She is def a nasty woman!!
I don’t know why but this stuck in my head. At the birthday party when Taylor was talking to Kyle about Camille instead of saying “she was done with Camille” what she said is “Camile is done with me.” I think that is why she is so angry and resentful of Camille. Russell was a tool in her arsenal to be used when needed.
Ya I don’t think “love you” is what was in that bubble of hers… There was a “you” in there, but not the love.
Evil Woman
@ madepiley – Yeah, it’s weird that she wants to go on another vacay with Russell after what happened in front of Kyle’s house. You’d think she’d be too scared to be anywhere near him in that emotional state of mind.
Ikr. She was too skird to leave him there much longer because the more they talked the more Russel realized what was going on.
Oh thanks for clearing that up. Obviously Hawaii is gonna be a big deal . Ya reckon they are gonna be staying at Camille’s'? Dr Paul did seem to be enjoying him self a bit too much during this whole thing. He is worse than a chick when it comes to delighting in drama. Ken just hung back and kept his mouth shut.
Well ken wasn’t about to give his opinion on anything after Taylor and kyle’s a$$holio reactions at Paul and Adrienne’s dinner party
True.
I’m wondering when Kyle will finally ‘get it’ ? Everyone else seems to be catching on and they’re all just really getting to know Taylor well. Kyle’s been besties with her for HOW long?! What a great judge of character.
Lisa and Ken might have had a different reaction if Kyle had told them about the dinner with Russell and Taylor, their threats about suing Lisa over the Magazine article about their marriage. I know Lisa would have had something to say!
Kyle must have never told her about that either because as they were going inside Lisa commented to Ken that it could be him next or her next. Kyle is NOT being a true friend to Lisa at all this year. She should have told Lisa about that immediately.
Bahaaaa MP! I like Dr Paul, and I think he does not take himself to seriously. I luv his personality, and humor!
I am so glad that Paul finally just said I think you should go, everyone else was dancing around coming out and saying it. Russell asking what do you suggest was a moment where I thought, are you really not catching on at this point that they aren’t letting you come in??? He must have simply been dumbstruck because he sounded like he truly did not realize they were being “uninvited” Taylor with her hands on her face looked like she was thinking OMG, what have I done, are they really siding with Camille, what about me, I am the victim. Then when she realized that someone had stuck the vacuum up to suck up the web she had spun she tried to get them out of there pronto before anything else could be revealed and Russell was too close to filling him in on Taylor’s betraying him by lying to everyone.
I am so happy they went to the limo and said what they did about Camille not exaggerating what Taylor had told all of them. I simply don’t understand why after all of this has taken place why any of the housewives are still her friend now. I heard so many times that she was staying at Kyle’s , yet Taylor denied it on WWHL with Ms Andy and I also read that they were helping her out financially. I wouldn’t want anything to do with the she devil. I along with many others on here wonder where Taylor’s family is during the time period after Russell passing away. I hope and pray after all that has been revealed that Russell’s family attempts to take custody of Kennedy away from Taylor. With all of the scenes from this season and her tell all book that is going to be released they will surely have enough ammunition to use to gain custody of that poor innocent little girl.
Once all of the show airs I seriously hope that all of these housewives come forth with the real story because the fact that they are standing with her after Russell passed away makes me feel literally sick to my stomach.
I’m not so sure that he was enjoying himself as much as he was looking at the rest of them thinking WTH are you all doing. It’s simple, watch me. I think you should leave. Now that wasn’t so hard was it. There was a party going on and they were saying everything but , leave. It was like they would all say something and then wait for them to offer to leave on their own, except then Russell speaks up and says, So what do you suggest?. By then Paul must have been thinking -here let me spell it out for you……. LEAVE, nobody wants to be around you.
You’re right he did cut to the chase.
@ Katie – IIRC, Russell didn’t deny that he would seek litigation if Camille kept spreading lies about the Armstrongs. (I know, I know that Camille only repeated what Taylor said, but this is what’s going on in Russell’s mind cuz he doesn’t know the truth yet).
I think that they all were forwarded the email by Camille. It must not have been a long one, since they were able to read it b4 the party.
IIRC, When Taylor said that Camille exaggerated & that she never said what Camille said, that was when Paul said I believe Camille as in “Camille didn’t make ish up about what you said to her, Taylor.” Because after that, the last thing Paul said was that either Russell or Camille was being lied to by Taylor, if I heard correctly, & he was looking at Taylor when he said this.
I can understand why more than one person had to be there to confront Taylor, since she’s known for throwing crazy, hysterical fits. I think the group thought that Taylor wasn’t telling Russell the whole truth. I think they collectively thought that Taylor was lying to Russell. That’s why Kyle rushed over to the limo & told Russell that Camille repeated only what Taylor said, nothing more. That’s when Taylor lied & said Camille embellished on the truth about Taylor’s statements to her. That’s when Adrienne said NO, that’s how Camille heard it from Taylor. That’s when Paul said he believes Camille’s story over Taylor’s.
So in the end, the group was trying to get Russell to realize that he was suing people for repeating what his own wife has been spreading as malicious gossip against himself! I think they were trying to explain that to Russell & I wonder if Russell believed it? It must be hard for him when his wife is saying one thing & everybody else is trying to tell him that it’s his wife who’s been making him look bad. All season long, the HWs keep saying that Taylor says stuff that makes them want to dislike Russell. I wonder if Russell ever knew why nobody liked him.
Is it wrong that during this I just kept thinking that Mauricio is so freaking hot?
Yes.
Not at all. I’m pretty sure you aren’t alone there either.
Nope… Is it wrong that I thought badazz Dr Paul was hot?
I thought Paul was looking GOOD too.
are you icknoring me ROMO
I take that as a yes, Romo. I dont know why, but I consider you my friend and I hoped that you did too.
No Deb, I’m right here. Sorry if it seems that way. Have you been talking to me? Just saw this post… I’ve been skipping around different pages. I wouldn’t diss you, boo!
Thanks Romo, yes I have been talking to you…cant you hear me, LOL! I would hope you wouldnt didd me, boo!
diss me, but didd me sounds good also!:)
There u are! Looks like everybody is talking about Ciroc… Here’s an idea, let P Diddy have Shana. She can be S hitty. Or something like that. Maybe he can give her a name? Just take her and they can drink Ciroc for all I care and go away with those damn commercials every 5 seconds!
Drink Grey Goose people and Don’t forget to send your hate emails to Ciroc!
Shitty? LOL….so true.
Hey u, caught me. Got your idea and think it is GREAT!!! “Just take her so they can drink Ciroc” OMG, I am LMAO and allmost wet my pants/britches at that comment………………….I had to backspace so many times cuz of you. haaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaa and maybe she can be S hitty or something? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant see from laughing so hard you!
Still wiping my eyes!!!
I do drink Grey Goose when I want to drink Vodka and of course I have sent my emails to Ciroc, and Bravo.
You should pass that on to Ciroc. Great promotional tool. Think of it Shiddy Ciroc Vodka !
Forever burned in my mind. Go Grey Goose!
One thing I did like at then end of the night…. Somehow, Mauricio ended up with the bottle of Ciroc that Russell had planned on gettening “hammertime” drunk on throughout the evening! Nice move Mauricio! You are a Smooth Operator, My Man!
Lol!
I noticed that . I thought it was a pretty sad moment. Russel must have handed it too him as he said “Just let us go” I will never drink Ciroc.
Bloink!
Looks like Estella no likey Kyle’s style after all … She looked a lot better in the dress she ended up wearing. Not that ugly “vintage” frock Kyle was trying to make her wear. Lol
I think that Taylor left Russell because no one believed her anymore because why did she stay if it were so horrific. She left him to cloud the issue so they wouldn’t focus on the white party. It’s like the shell game. Keep them busy and distracted so they don’t have time to stop and see the lies and cracks in her stories.
And he probably realized what a snake she was after the white party and wouldn’t go along with her nonsense any longer.
Taylor filed first but who’s to say that Russel didn’t leave first.
Taylor is such an obvious liar and she wasbso Rude to Kyle. “Aw came all the way from Vegas for your party and clearly we should have stayed.”
Bravo fire Taylor already.
Was the Ciroc product pimping? Seriously… There were so many Ciroc commercials that I was thankful to fast forward through them. I fell off my chair to see Russel bring this to the party and then see Mauricio KEEP it after they were told to leave!!! Ha! I think I’ll stick to Grey Goose.
Yep, they sure were pimping C Vodka! Ill stick to Gray Goose or as my grown Daughter & Sons would say Belvedere is good too. Bravo is all over Ciroc vodka bc the chosen housewives are promoting it at the cities they will be at on New Years Eve!
So I read none of the earlier comments so as to NOT be influenced…
Never have I felt such compassion and sorrow for Kyle..I am not a Kyle fan for sure…but this episode made me feel sorry for her. She was genuine in her feelings to kick Traylor out.
Traylor did NOT care about her BFF Kyle’s feelings..albeit yes Bravo would have interjected with a “Kyle dont call Traylor this afternoon to tell her you do not want Traylor and Russell at party..WAIT till the party so we have a BIG AZZ spectacle”…Bravo..I am a SAHM out of choice..after working ten years after medical school and being a doctor…your high school dropout prodcs cant fool me alright…yes in this instance ladies I am being a lil bit hoity toity..sorry…you made Kyle wait till the PARTY for drama…yukk!!! sick sick sick..
I can’t imagine what Russell felt at that moment…sadness, confusion,,,despair..its repulsive…poor poor soul
I thought that both Kyle and Lisa had tried to call her to warn her and SHAFT pulled a Salahi and didn’t answer the calls. We know now that this is because she was hoping f they couldn’t get a hold of her they would just tell Camille that she was coming and Camille would be the one to leave. SHAFT gets rid of people… SHAFT gets rid of people…SHAFT gets rid of people…..SHAFT gets rid of people who don’t play her way. She was unsuccessful with Camille but she sure nuff took care of Russel.
Or maybe, BRAVO told SHAFT to TURN OFF her phone for the day, playing them all!! SHAFT needs to crash and burn for real, get that evil out of here!!!! I too noticed M had the bottle of ciroc when they walked back in the house, R taking off his mic, that said to me that he knew what SHAFT had done, or at least was putting 2 and 2 together….did anyone catch in the preview for next week when SHAFT calls them when they are all on the beach, (makes me sick how all of a sudden LISA is LIS now!) is that the part where SHAFT is the ungreiving widow, does she actually tell them on the phone for crying out loud!!!!! Her fugly uggin face needs to get out of here!!!!
Hawaii was towards the end of June, and R&T were in Vegas. My IBS guess is that the shocked looks resulted when T tells them she’s preggers!!!
with twins
IBS
She told them her marriage is over, It is in the previews of the Bravo site. Kind of like my marriage is over , can I come to Hawaii now went thru my mind but all the preview said was her saying “my marriage is over” and Camille has dates up on her blog and i don’t think it was the 15th of July when she made the call to Leese. So much edit was done it is really making it hard to come together. Would love to see the original
Don’t you find it funny that Taylor Blamed Camile for coming to the party. Has Taylor forgotten the Pecking order in BH. At this point Brandi is higher on the list then Taylor. She at least has a famous ex if not more money than Taylor.
@ Cyn1 – I’m beginning to think that when Taylor said Camille shouldn’t have come, she was still playing it up in front of Russell, making him think that Camille was the guilty party & lying about the Armstrong marriage. She was making it sound like Camille was the bad guy. After all, we know that the truth is that Camille only repeated what Taylor was saying. And we know that Taylor told Russell that Camille “exaggerated” Taylor’s statements. So in Russell’s mind, he’s probably thinking why do we have to cave in for Camille when she’s the trouble-maker? He doesn’t realize what Taylor was up to.
Yes good point! Makes perfect sense..or as perci said Bravo made her turn off the phone
@ lelesmom – SH updated the blog about Taylor’s phone. Seems a Bravo producer is saying that Taylor lost her phone in Vegas so she couldn’t get her messages. Imo, bull crap. I think Taylor knew full well that there would be flack over Russell threatening to sue a 2nd member of the group. I think Taylor just wanted to ignore everything & just show up & dare them to kick her out of the party. I think she was thinking this would be another Mohammad party situation where only she would be allowed to attend (if she plead ignorance), but only Russell would be banned. And she’s shown she’s ok with doing that.
Russell did write the email because of what Traylor spewed to him. Camille only repeated what Traylor told her. Now Russell is dead & Traylor gets to play the poor widow and pal around with Texas hunks. Seems so unfair.
I agree with you, Russell may writes the email andWINTHISWWY< PLEASE STOP
I agree with you and Russell may have ” written ” the emails and the WINTHISWWY but PLEASE Stop!!!! Let him Rest In Peace… forever find heavens peace.
“If Camille was that upset, she wouldn’t have showed up here” so that was her intent. She wanted Camille to feel too uncomfortable to come so that she would have an unhindered audience for her “whoa is me” bs. I am posting this video again because Russel was abused by SHAFT not the other way around. Please take note of the “wave in enough truth” part because that’s how people like this hook you. Her wicked smile is because her sadistic butt is enjoying this.
Thank you. Very informative video.
i think you’re absolutely right on.
Russel was abused by SHAFT, not the other
way around
I know, right. You made a very good point madepiley, Taylor probably thought Camille wouldn’t show up or Camille would be asked to leave, especially after Kyle and Taylor has been kicked out of Brandi’s party.
What I was mostly troubled by was the fact that Kyle and Adrienne were actually saying “here”s the thing, Camille is in there and she is upset”. Camille was upset, but she wasn’t letting her ruin her nite. Then they went in to the litigation aspect of weelllll, not of us want to be sent an email threatening a lawsuit, I think that was what Mauricio spoke out about first. The look on Taylor’s face was priceless at that point when he said now it has gone past just being about Camille and they were all involved because she knew then she better start tumbling the marbles in her head so she could do like she asked the marriage counselor , can’t we just wipe the slate clean and start new all over again?
Cutting Russell loose and saying I am divorcing him girls, thank you you all saved my life probably got her back in their good graces. Why , I don’t think I will ever understand. They have to know about the ponzi schemes and scams that Russell and Shana had done, especially since Russell wasn’t even allowed to go to Mohammed’s party for Pandora. Between that and all of the other lies she told all of them, why in the world would they even want to ever talk to Shana again, EVER.
Last night was SO telling. The chickens came home to roost. I thought Russell’s comments were odd…but on point. This broke my heart. To see his face, the face of someone being in a downward spiral from where he thought he had no options. I am writing BravoTV AGAIN! I don’t want to see anymore Russell footage.
It would have been fairly easy for Paul and the others to read the e mail on the day of the white party. All Camille had to do when she was on the phone with Adrianne and Paul was to forward it to them as they were talking so they could see it. Also, it would be great if an investigative report on this whole thing be done on 20/20 so the world can see what a scammer and liar Taylor is. Those reporters would be more believable than the one sided stories and PR interviews that Taylor has been giving on shows such as ET, Extra, E, and Dr. Phil.
that would be awesome! Email the story suggestion to all the shows
Can we point out that it is highly unlikely that russell would show up at this party if the allegations Camille restated were true? And all happy go lucky on top of that? He clearly believed Camille was spreading slanderous lies about him and therefore everyone would back him up. Even when they’re all standing there breaking it down for him, he still doesn’t get it and asks, ” so what do you suggest we do?” so sad…
Poor guy
my heart broke hearing that line..
She lies with so much ease. She told Rusell she only said one thing to Camille and Camille made it bigger. This woman is so vile. I can’t stand watching her. I hope, I really hope that if there is a season 3 she gets fire before that.
Obviously not one of the housewives believes Tay-Tay’s claims of a broken jaw. All of these women are kind and compassionate and they would have offered her hotel accommodations rather than shove her back into a car with a potential abuser after this explosive confrontation.
Traylor’s expressions were CREEPY! She wasn’t afraid of Russell. If she was so afraid and he was so abusive, why in the world would she have gotten back in the limo with him? Puh-leeze! Russell was blindsided last night.
When Camille called out Traylor at the tea party, it was on camera. How did Traylor expect her lies not to catch up with her had Russell lived? I would love to read the email that was sent to Camille to compare what Russell was told and what Camille actually said. It must have been extreme for her to lawyer up.
Thanks, SH, for everything you do! I’ve never posted before, but I try to check out your site every day or at least every other day. Traylor’s expression made my skin crawl and I had to post. LOL!
Ooooo….I love my avatar!
And all Camille really said was you told us all of thes things and names them off but goes on to say, we don’t see any bruises or proof of what you are telling us. Guess Taylor forgot to mention that Camille was more or less siding against the abuse theory.
Howdy Mimi. No doubt SHAFT knew once the season aired her lies would be exposed(right in time for her divorce/custody battle) and so….Russel had to go. The man had unexplained bruises on him when he was “discovered” SHAFT is a dangerous liar.
Not saying I believe the whole abuse allegation, but how do we explain Russell’s past violent history with his former significant others?
Apparently he’s all better now! Just cuz he did it in the past, doesn’t mean he still does! IBS
Pfft! there isn’t really an explanation. He has a record. He admitted it on multiple occasions.
I wish everyone would keep that in mind… That AND he had a pretty long track record of scamming people outta money. RIP Russel.
Just keep in mind Tayliar knew of his past its not unresonable to think she didnt use that against him when she started making things up. she knew people would bring up his past and thus making her lies more belevable and well it has worked because for some thats all the proof they need.
Oh and her past of scaming people is just as long as his
Exactly. I think it was here that leaked the stuff about him abusing her ex. When Ms SH gets that timeline together, I think we will see that that little nugget came out at the most advantageous time…for SHAFT.
I agree people are ignoring the photos taken after her alledged assualts with no bruises no marks and every other piece of evidence support the fact taylor is lying and believing her based soley on his Prior bad acts some even ignore the fact she is a long term scammer to.
SH has already posted that Taylor was going thru all of the paperwork and found the divorce papers with the accusations of abuse and that Taylor most likely released them to the media because the 1st wife did not . Those papers also included the information about the life insurance police where his son was the beneficiary and that Taylor called and tried to gain access to the policy.
There is no gutter low enough for Shana to wallow and rut around in, she is trying to swim in quicksand cause all of her “truths” are really surfacing and showing everyone who she is, not who she is pretending to be. ( thank you for that line Kyle, still think you have done Lisa wrong by the way, now slither away with your friend )
I agree with both of you. There was alot of editing in that fight and during that fight he went from it’s okay Kyle to lets go really gruffly. And I wonder also if it hasn’t has to do with what you said Soccermop59. I caught onto Traylor not allowing Paul or Adrienne or even Kyle especially to tell Russell anything about what was said. Do you remember Traylor telling Kyle that HE ALREADY KNOWS, HE ALREADY KNOWS, and Kyle couldn’t explain to Russell. And then when they get out of the Limo and are confronted about the Email (I love Paul in this one especially he told him it was a nasty email along with Mauricio), Traylor says emphatically that she didn’t know about the email. And then they couldn’t get in contact (both Lisa and Kyle her best friends) with Traylor, she wasn’t answering her cell phone.
The reason to these few but pivotal points is she knew that Russell sent that legal email, she was lying and she didn’t want to be kept away from this party by one of them calling and saying don’t come and so she didn’t answer. You mean to tell me that your husband or spouse sends a legal document to one of your friends without telling you so you could walk into an embarrassing moment. Then finding out that this email that “she didn’t know about” was sent, she doesn’t question her husband at all and in fact tries to do two things, separate herself from Russell to look like she’s with them and defend/ protect Russell so that he doesn’t get a story that hasn’t went through her.
Remember we don’t know what she has been telling Russell, remember the therapists session and the limo ride with Kyle and Mauricio to Adrienne’s house for the shoe party. He kept referencing to the problem his wife is having with Camille (after she outed her for lying about abuse) but not saying what Camille has been saying about him or Traylor. She’s been lying on Russell to the Housewives and been lying on the Housewives to Russell.
What I waited for all that time during the fight was one of them to say, “we where just repeating what Traylor told us”. Then Traylor must have told Russell that Camille exaggerated about incidents, well what incidents. She straight up lied all Camille said was we don’t see any bruises on you. So I guess she should have said that Russell was putting bruises on you from abuse. I mean to be honest with you the wives where Russell’s best friend in all this but he had a wife that was manipulating him and playing him like a fiddle.
Also the reason why Paul was touching Traylors face after she walked out of the tea party was he was wanting a closer look of all this damage she’s been telling his wife and others. Paul was finally at his wits end and Adrienne knew it (remember him saying that I believe Camille over the email and Lisa turning around to look at him but it cut away). I think Adrienne and Lisa and Camille and Even Kyle know that Traylor is unstable and lies about everything. As one person said on a show I watched, “this woman is unstable and she’s dangerous”. Not so much violence, just by doing what she’s doing know and just making up stories to complicate their lives. Adrienne stopped Paul because she was afraid of him telling the truth and having Traylor suing them (remember Adrienne has the money).
I think everybody is going to wipe their hands clean of Traylor and keep away from her.
I haven’t watched this weeks episode. i just read Kyle and Camille’s blogs, along with this one. if in fact Russel was beating Shaft, why would her friends confront them? why wouldn’t they separate Shaft from Russel first(for safety reasons), then confront him? Did she not accuse him of the worst beatings? Why allow her to leave with him? Wouldn’t the next step for an abuser be to beat the crap out of the abusee for repeating the abuse tales and having people confronting him on tv? Why wasn’t Taylor afraid? What kinds of friends are these who care more of a law suit than the possible beating of their very good, nonscarred nor bruised, friend? Why wasn’t Bravo protecting her from this vicious animal? (Russel obviously was not this, just going along with Shaft).
As for the first wife, it has been known that when someone wants out of a marriage, they can say they were hit by their spouse. I am not saying that abuse doesn’t happen, just that people sometimes lie, right Shaft? (Notice first and second wife got along with Russel after divorces). Just wondering, sorry for stating the obvious, but this has been bugging me for a while. Why haven’t her friends whisked her and Kennedy away?
Maybe they were all afraid Russel would sue them if they whisked his family away?!
And I think you know the answer to the rest of the questions.
I had said before that the airing of Russel may be the only voice that he has left. While many disagree, I thought (hoped) that we would be able to see for ourselves the truth and that Taylor was a liar. I am so glad that it IS playing out this way.
I think Kyle was upset, not because she had to tell Taylor to leave, but because they ALL knew that they were going to let Russel know that it was Taylor who had said these things. I think the plan was, to spill it to Russel in front of Taylor, not so much to kick them from the party. THIS, would be emotional for any of us.
I agree wrt to giving Russel a voice.
I actually think Kyle believed Taylor and was super worried about her safety after the confrontation. Weird, I know but it helps her emotional state make sense to me in a crazy way.
Taylor was caught red handed by her lies and she is acting indignant. The sign of a true sociopath. Serial killers can pass lie detector tests. So could Tray-whore.
Here’s the deal….all this “suing” thing is actually funny….you can sue whomever you want to but to win, you have to MITIGATE a loss (show that you were damaged)…so the whole bunch of them are a bunch of dumb asses or as MS SH likes to put it “STOOPID”…no wonder Camille was in there “la ly la-ing away!…her lawyers told her “aint no way this is going to happen because it’s all on tape, baby doll!–all you did was “record, rewind & play”…All any of them had to do is show the email to a lawyer and it was over…Although Mauricio might be hot, he’s a puss…Kyle & him deserve each other…she does not have to worry about any worthy woman stealing him from her…remember, Big Kathy taught the girls to lure men so he might not be to bright up top….Dr. Paul might be okay…if Adrian let’s him complete a thought or a complete sentence (man, she bugs me with the shussh! business!)…why does Adrienne think she knows or has to finish everyone’s thought or sentence? or feels she can finish it in a more proper manner (probably because I just killed that sentence structure! MEH!).
Notice in the above clip, when Russell and Taylor are in the limo leaving the party; Russell is looking out the window and Taylor is watching him, it’s easy to see the rocks rolling around in her head and she is trying hard to think up a new lie! She knows she’s been caught.
Advice to Taylor: 1) change your name (again), 2) cut off your straggly hair and dye it, 3) sew up your big mouth, 4) leave the country!
oh you are right. Also notice how she once again tried to flash her who-ha for the cameras. This deranged chick has been trying to get that go-to attention whore move worked in there all season long.
I just REwatched RHOBH last week’s and this week’s episodes. Since I’m fairly new here please excuse me if I bring up questions or comments that have already been discussed. I love this board!
Did you notice that Brandi’s friend, Jen, was the House Manager on Sober House, a spin off of Celebrity Rehab. I think they even filmed right there at the same beach house the girls were at for Brandi’s belly dancing party. After being clean and sober for so many years, I don’t get why Jen would allow that wine-fest to go on in her house. I believe it was Jen who told Brandi to ask Taylor to leave.
I really liked Kyle but the more I watch this season, the nasty comments are becoming worse … the butt of her jokes seem to be always be at someone’s expense (never her own or Kim’s).
Thought the wedding planning was a snore.
TAYLOR! She’s fooled many people! I am one of them, I admit. I still cannot tell if it’s too much medication or a malfunction of the brain. Sad and scary like Kelli on RHONY.
Is Kim just plain evil or on drugs? Either way, it’s serious!!!! Sister or not, Kyle needs to be true to herself and let Kim go bye bye with Ken. Is Kim really sobbing over losing her kids? Don’t even say it’s a big case of the kids hate him and she has to choose between MAN and BABIES?
Does Kyle want Kim to dump Ken who controls her so Kyle can continue controlling Kim? LOL!
Kim’s behavior at the White Party was uncalled for, immature, over-kill and red neck! Just like 9th grade showing off in front of new bf! Shame on Kyle for not demanding that Kim back off of Brandi. Kim was looking for a fight and the MEAN GIRL went directly to other girl to bully her. Kyle knew Kim was using, I mean in one of her moods so she should have at least told her to jump Brandi another day. I get that Kyle was a wreck already cuz of having to throw Taylor out but Kim needed to be shut down! Even Ken was looking at her like…..STFU!!!!
Camille is much better this season. Hopefully stays that way. Lisa …. not quite sure of and Adrienne….hope she doesn’t get pulled into the pit…my FAV by far!
For the love of Jove! I just saw something that TOTALLY blew my mind, and it goes hand in hand with the spirit of this post.
I was just rewatching the ‘beach party’ episode, and at the 49th minute there is a scene when DD keep yelling to SHAFT ‘Just don’t say “You Outside”.’ Adrienne is pulling SHAFT out onto the patio, so is Kyle, Brandi is trying to calme SHAFT down. SHAFT is standing next to the Zen Nutcase (‘the ocean is sooooooo biiiiiiigggg…). They are all fricking out because SHAFT was just screaming, crying, shouting, bit@hing, yelling and fake crying. And as they all turn away from her to walk thru the door onto the patio there is this 2-second shot of SHAFT, and that’s where my mind froze! She is stading in the doorway, with the biggest SHIT EATTING GRIN EVER on her face, fricking EXTATIC over what she’s just caused, and in that idiotic smile also sticking her whole shovel-like tongue at Zen Nutcase. She is ENJOYING HERSELF like never before, apparently, as all around her goes to hell in a handbasket.
This Bit@h is INSANE!!!
I seriously wonder if this was the point that Bravo had decided to stop filming with Russell and Shana and had Kyle be the one to give them the boot. When Mauricio said something about it having gone further than that and spoke of no one wanting to have threats of litigation and lawsuits if he was speaking of only their group or Bravo as well. Would make sense.
Since Shana alleges the photo she released with the black eye happened in late June, I wonder if we will see her on the show with a black eye now that the information is out there that she separated and filed for divorce from Russell because of the threat to stop filming them? Did Shana use abuse as a reason when she filed the divorce papers???
According to Russell lawyer Taylor didnt mention abuse or pictures in the divorce complaint
IMO This rumored “break in filming” had nothing to do with black eyes but in what is now being reported Taylor and Russell were kicked off the show and she only filed to get back on. Hopefully we dont see anymore of her the rest of the episodes
Do we know for sure that the phone call is “real”–that it actually took place when Lisa was in Hawaii, and wasn’t filmed well after the fact??. And as for a break in filming, aren’t we getting pretty close to the end? Could the break in filming have just been limited to R&T?
I know I read that they had to stop filming but the reason then was because none of the housewives wanted to film with Shana and Russell at the time because of the threat of lawsuits, this story came out after the one about the reason they couldn’t film Shana was due to her eye injury or her broken jaw, but Camille pretty much threw the broken jaw out of the window.
I agree Lisa, that is why I am wondering if the black eye will show up, because we now know why filming was stopped. I watched a video today where Kyle, Camille, and Lisa were all talking about the photos and agreeing that she was abused because of the pictures Shana showed them. Lisa said in the video that she had been with Taylor and Russell until 1:30 in the morning the “night, which I am thinking she means early morning hours, that the abuse happened and that everything was fine between them.
They all three said that they had seen the black eye in person and that it looked as bad as the pictures. Shana could just have easily fell into something in a drunken stupor too instead of Russell hitting her. I am sorry , I just feel if any abuse occurred it most likely happened with Russell trying to get her off of him from her beating on him.
when did they say they saw the black eye I was under the impression they never to this day ever saw anything on Taylor no bruises or anything.
I was going thru some old posts and found it, i was rather shocked but it was a live talk with the three woman. I will see if i can refind it and let you know where it is at. I was always under the impression no one saw her with it either.
I can’t find the video now but the picture of the interview with an article is from Access Hollywood on Sept 14,2011. In the article is says nothing about them seeing her with a black eye, I could be mistaken but I swear she asked them if it looked as bad in person as in the photo’s and they answered yes. I am not as good with finding things on the computer as others so maybe someone else can find the video of the interview and double check. It was Lisa Vanderpump , Camille Grammar, and Kyle Richards chat with access hollywood, Camille is sitting in the middle. I don’t want to post any links because I am not sure what SH rules are about that, but what I just now typed in to find the written interview was, Kyle Richards, Camille Grammar, and Lisa Vanderpump video interview about Taylor’s abuse and a link came up with the exact picture that was on the video, but no video, only the article.
gail: Found the video you are looking for! It is on the SH masthead under “Shana Interviews”… click on “Shana videos”… you will see them chatting at Kyle’s house.
The pages are still being assembled, but I knew I had the video you were describing… TFC!! SH
I think there was some editing there. It doesn’t make sense because they refer to seeing the photos. When asked if they saw for themselves Kyle says Taylor shared with them and then the next response was that she saw the photos. Confusing. Why would you need to see pictures if you saw for yourself?
Maybe they were answering to if they saw the pictures in person , not the black eye, but if it happened on a nite when they had been with Lisa, how could they not see the black eye on her? Very confusing. The more information that comes out, the more confusing and muddled everything becomes.
Thank you SH. I couldn’t find them, when i went to search it said i needed a google account , so if i need one I have to make one. You are amazing with all of the information and research you have done on here . I am so happy not to be a lurker anymore and finally get to comment about this, cause screaming at my tv is not very fulfilling.
Well early on the Taylor cheerleaders used a break in filming to prove the story about the black eye was true because she had stopped filming well we are now at that point of that break and it looks more like the break had nothing to do with a black eye or any injury but Bravo trying to protect themselves from Russell threats. I am not sure where the show was suppose to end
But i do remember Lisa posting on FB that Pandoras wedding wasn’t going to on the show but that has since changed. I do believe that filming had stopped at the time of russsells suicide
It’s hard for me to believe that Mohammad,Bravo or any of these people’s attorney’s didn’t run a background check on these two when litigation was being tossed around.The email sent to Camille was sent the night of Pandora party in Vegas that was at least a week if not days before the white party. Do you think that they were informed about more than Russell’s email and that was why they were uninvited not by Kyle but by Bravo?
