ShanaBanana… “Taylor Armstrong” was on Drew’s show (he may have a medical degree, but the title “Dr” somehow does not fit this guy any longer) yesterday… and tonight Drew had Laurie Kelsoe, Russell Armstrong’s sister as his guest.
Laurie attempted to get her points across re Shana’s appearance, but Drew seemed to be set on knowing that Shana was being 100% truthful about her abuse story… not because Drew researched her claims, but simply because Shana told him!
Laurie’s appearance on Drew’s show will be on SH soon.
The following are comments taken from Drew’s FB page:

Fran Sing Dr. Drew.. this young woman does not know anything that went on in this household. She did not live there, did not kow her brother as well as she thinks she did, and all of that family is just looking for as much money as they can get on this matter. I am sure if they were offered money from his estate they would not be saying anything at all. Since Taylor was the next of kin, unless he had a will, they did not get a dime and for this they are angry. This sister was across the country from where they lived, and claims to know all that happened in that other world called Hollywood. No one knows what happens there, not even the people that live there.about an hour ago · Like · 2 -

Michael Smith What is the evidence of a connection between Taylor’s abuse and Russell’s death? Who kills himself ’cause he punched his wife once or twice? Where is the nexus? Ostensibly he had some bad business dealings, which seems to be more of a reason for suicide or the possible murder. People hate on Taylor because she was supposedly living the ostentatious BH good life with no money, and she threw a $40,000 b-day party for her daughter (regardless if the show paid for it).59 minutes ago · Like · 1 -
Marie Claire We are not judging “ALL” the women on reality shows..I guess that is your way of deflecting the harsh feelings expressed towards Taylor. The instincts that point to her dishonesty are the result of her behaviors over two seasons of programming. She revealed herself clearly as a troublemaker, a behind the scenes agitator and a liar. She has been accused of lying quite a bit by several of her castmates, and not in connection with her Russell “situation”. This is why she is disliked so intensly by the public.58 minutes ago · Like · 1 -

Dina Barrera Dr. Drew, Being that Taylor has years of experience working with abused women, is it possible that she has enough knowledge from those contacts to be able to conjure up this whole charade as well fool you?

Also, she fumbled when speaking about telling her daughter the truth. So we know she lies!52 minutes ago · Like · 4 -

Darla J Carlson Laurie I agree with you. If Taylor was a “battered victim” as she claims she seemed fine until Russell’s death. Does Taylor get paid to be an advocate for Real battered women…I and the general public want to know. I work in a place for displaced/battered women and I do not see any resemablence with Taylor and these women. I hear of an eye socket injury…no bruising! I hear of a broken jaw…was this for facial reconstruction for her lip implants or cheek bone realignment? Dr. Drew..Taylor has told you what you are “looking for as a Dr” But her facial expressions snickering/smirking/smiling…is too much! A true victim doesn’t show” how proud” like she won a prize or Taylor is finally getting attention attitude selling a one sided book with no social worker, no battered women recovery person she spoke with while Russell was alive no proof…getting famous maybe getting money she doesn’t have or something now that Russell is gone. Taylor is hiding behind the truth..it sounds like two (2) times Taylor had incidents..one involving her eye…and another her Jaw bone. xrays show that Taylors Jaw is broken…it doesn’t say RUSSELL DID IT! It’s catching up with Taylor and her inconsistentsies are surfacing…She is not the one we want advocating for us real abused women thats for damn sure. Taylor is making money from her acting career and her shameful book. Just stop Taylor. Please.32 minutes ago · Like · 2 -

Marie Boylan Dr. Drew: If I may, I wish to make one last comment on Taylor Armstrong and why I find nothing about her to be credible, likeable or believable. Please watch past episodes of the reality show. You will find that from the beginning of this reality show, Taylor Armstrong has exhibited explosive outbursts on a consistent basis. She has verbally abused the other women, she has trashed the other women and she has climbed over furniture trying to attack the other women. Think you could ask Camille Grammar about that. It frightens me to think that she is in a leadership role at a battered women’s shelter. She can’t help anyone else until she helps herself. This woman is frightening. Personally, I think it will be something else next year. She isn’t going to change. She is simply to evil to do so.20 minutes ago · Like · 2 -
Diana Mello Dr. Drew – Unfortunately, Russell’s sister offered nothing to the conversation. It remains a “he said / she said” conversation. It appeared that you didn’t find her very credible. Perhaps you and your wife could watch both seasons of Beverly Hills Housewives, in their entirety, and see, for yourself, what might have everybody so upset. Then, you can have a segment on your show and share your observations and offer some suggestions that might be beneficial to all parties concerned. I, for one,was not a Taylor fan and thought that Russell was rather strange. When she threw the $60,000.00 birthday party for her daughter, viewers were outraged. It seems to me that if you are being abused, you would not demonstrate behavior that would enrage the abuser — or, would you? I also believe that people do not believe she is credible because she was very deceitful about everthing, including the eye injury, and then, when Russell was dead, and it was convenient for her, she started “beating a dead horse”. I feel confident in your ability to extinguish the inferno known as Taylor Armstrong.12 minutes ago · Like -

Dr Pooh stinks! (See what I did there? Allz kindz of playz on wordz!)
Shana Hughes resembles Casey Anthony on so many disturbing levels. I am surprised that McPsychiatrist BS didn’t pick up on that. He must have got his certificate in a Happy Meal.
I have been reluctant to compare ShannaShanaLynetteHughesSipesTaylorFordArmstrong to Casey Anthony, until now.
ShannaShanaLynetteHughesSipesTaylorFordArmstrong got as much time in the media as Casey Anthony and her defenders did. Laurie Armstrong Kelsoe got as much time as Jeff Ashton and Linda Drane Burdick did. Apparently, common sense and logic are lost to ratings these days. It’s just disgusting. Children should be protected and mean a heck of a lot more than money, lies, slander or a front to subhuman activities. Scribbling/ sticking hearts on it makes it even worse.
Shame on you, Dr. Drew. And every other interviewer. The preponderance of the evidence has been handed to you all. In both cases. Pass the blame, spin the wheel, and see where the $bucks$ land, I guess. SMH, RME and pass the Mylanta. Look where OJ’s defenders ended up…..
Dr Drew was taking Casey Anthony’s side in the beginning too, saying he thought she was abused by her father. Seems he has a soft side for sociopathic liars.
Either that or hopes they are sleazy enough to give him a little greenroom delight…
Sistah, I agree completey!! You need to tweet that comment to Dr. Drew.
if something ever happens to Kennedy, he should be one of the doctors answering the hard line questions, especially since he was putting words in her mouth and giving her the answers to the questions he asked.
Kennedy will be six this month, I wonder how long it will be that she starts talking to classmates or teachers. Hopefully she will have a compassionate teacher that will notice her sadness and question her to find out why she seems to be in so much pain and so unhappy that it is visable even to the people that see clips of her here and there. Having her draw hearts in her mommy’s book total trashing her Daddy is beyond abuse.
Well I left my comment
I saw it- good for you and your faithful posting – I will keep trying.
Maybe Russell’s sister didn’t stand a chance because she does not have the same cotton candy eating skills as Taylor does. He was apparently more interested in the segment where a man makes love to his car than giving Laurie a fair shot at being able to say what she needed to say.
Hey – I was thinking along those lines. He seems enraptured with Taylor -he was fawning and cooing all over her On Celebrity Rehab he would do the same things with women he found attractive. Encourage them to embrace their victim status and excuse them from heinous behavior. Never so much with guys. Rachel Uchitel rings a bell.
On the plus side I am delighted those FB posts got through because the Twitter censors are killing me , but I did see Irish Lisa’s.
Dr. Drew was in NY Minute as the Olsen Twins dad, who represents Taylor now…and of course he is close colleagues w/ Dr. Sophy. What did we expect?
bh: Another tie-in: The Olsen twins were represented by Robert Thorne… who is now Shana’s atty and manager: http://www.etonline.com/news/114498_EXCLUSIVE_Taylor_Armstrong_s_Manager_Clears_Up_Rumors/index.html TFC!! SH
You correct SH about the man representing Taylor as her manager and atty. The one thing I keep reminding myself is this; once the harpie’s money runs dry, no one will want to represent Failor-Whailor for anything. Perhaps then, she will head back into oblivion, or the rock from which she crawled from. The thing about Hollywood, once your time is up (when you are out of money) no one will associate with a has-been any longer, with the exception of hanger-on(s). Tick-Tock, (hear that Shana?) the time is running out for this despicable woman. In the end, Shaft, will reap what she has sown.
This is really the truth, look at Danielle Staub, did a few things after the housewives and now she’s in housewife purgatory. Jill Zarin, nothing. Even Kate Gosselin, who other sites seemed to devote their sites to, now sponsoring cruises and parading around all dressed up going nowhere, just to get photographed. Taylor will get a blurb now and then, and Taylor’s headlines are all going to involve court proceedings and lawsuits. Oh yes, I am channelling Allison Dubois, I see many more drunken Taylor pictures to come. In a few years, she will be completely insignificant, and broke. Karma will deal with Taylor, one way or another.
Anyone who has the power to diagnose can become the object of affection and fantasy for someone like delusional taylor. Her people pleasing ways would tend to make Dr. Drew the narcissist, enamored by her, stroking his already large ego. Enough already Dr. Who!
Maybe that wasn’t all she stroked
LOL
Don`t forget that sociopaths are vvvvery charismatic. We forget that because we have distance between us and Shana and we see her for what she is, but a lot of sociopaths have that something extra that people are drawn to…for awhile. They are very attractive while they are snowing you with their jedi mind tricks. I`m grossed out that Drew P. seemed to fall for her charms but oh well, he`s not a real psychiatrist anyway, or a person with real authority anyway. He`s gonna look like a goof when shana is outed. Can you imagine him bumping into her twelve months from now? I bet he pretends he doesn`t know her. But I will remember that he believed (or pretended to believe) her and that he defended her and that he actually said – with a straight face – that shana hughs is a love addict and then made her agree with him. I kinda felt that even shana was holding in a big fat laugh at that one.
How nervous Laurie was really made me think. It is totally NORMAL and HUMAN for a person to behave like Laurie in such circumstances. Compare that to how smooth and at ease Shana is in her interviews. Shana is the one that should be given the side eye here, she is the one that isn`t acting like a normal human being. She`s unnatural.
waves, thank-you for writing and sending such a thoughtful stunner of a letter, and then sharing it with us. I really hope that Drew P is able to set aside his ego and understand the truth that your letter expresses.
god i wanted to wretch when dr dweeb read tayliars statement
hello he was close to his sister he loved her ect taylor is trying to claim they were not close yet her kids went to the house it sounds frequently TAYLOR PICK A SIDE STAY THERE
God that blanky blank pisses me off
I know, him reading that letter with Laurie sitting there was a slap in the face to her.
and kudos to laurie for calling taylor a drinker
too bad the he didn’t give a crap about anything she had to say, will NEVER watch him again. He annoyed the crap out of me during the Casey Anthony trial and haven’t watched him since til tonight, won’t watch again. I don’t care who is on there,
Dr Drew is every bit as big a media whore as Shana. Look how he exploited d list celebrities and their ‘addictions’ for fun and profit on Celebrity Rehab. I won’t watch him, he is the worst kind of scum.
Good point and look how nice he was to them. Evidently Laurie does not deserve civility because she’s not famous.
I’ve never thought of Dr. Drew as anything more that a snake oil salesman.
You people are being really mean to “Dr.” Nancy Drew!! Think about it. What would YOU do if YOU were voted top ten gray haired men, or whatever his publicist has posted so proudly as one of Nancy’s biggest life accomplishments?? You have that going for you and yet you are faced with interviewing Laurie, who apparently was a whole “half a country away” [See how easy it is, Nancy, for people to be in touch these days and to know what is going on somewhere else in this huge country w/o actually being there??] and who apparently was all by herself and was not a polished “star” “thrust into the spotlight” like her always-giving-a-performance SIL.
Contrast that with having to “interview/diagnose/treat” ShaBana (who likely was accompanied by a PR prson and other assistants and, oh yeah, Kennedy, most likely) who was less than–well, she was within touching distance as we saw all too often. The very same ShaBana that threatens to “pull an OK” on anyone’s ass who crosses her; the same ShaBana who chokes her husband while he’s driving a car with “her child” in the back seat; the same ShaBana who is a skilled, lifelong manipulator/liar/scammer/performer; the same ShaBana who has gone totally ape-shit crazy on camera more than once and has demonstrated that she’s pretty good with her fists.
Who would YOU treat with kid gloves and who would you be dismissive, arrogant, accusatory argumentative and petulant with?? Nancy was a-scared of ShaBana ’cause she’s…well, she’s just scary!!
I really think that DDP(doc drew pinsky, but I like hdgurl’s p name better) needed to do a little more research on who these people are that are not buying traylair’s bs. Everyone that post here seems to have found SH after searching for a place to air our feelings on the matter of traylair. We come here with our own stories that allows us to “hear” her lies. I am not impressed with people who spend money on a lavish lifestyle they cannot afford as traylair did to get on the show just like the Salahi’s before. None of us here dislike traylair because she “lives” a BH lifestyle. Listening to Randy talk about Russell helped me to understand the pressure taylor’s material needs had put on him. Both Doc no soc and now DDP do not have the psychology backgrounds to work with someone as disturbed as traylair IMHO
Pinsky is a fraud, where does he get off diagnosing a dead man he has never met? This media whore has zero credibility, hope CNN cancels his show.
I look forward to the day a real interviewer asks her the really tough questions about all her lies.
What in the world was Taylor doing at the Grammy’s and being interviewed about her book for?
I am totally dumbstruck.
We are very unhappy with reality dr’s so I do find comfort in the fact MMR court case! I will assume that will have TRUE professionals that will testify about TayLip’s and her con games! The fact a woman has changed her name five different times and lied about on WWH live last season – one can just start there. There are public documents as proof as well as copies of TraLips checks and accounts for proof, etc., Traylips has had access to all the hollywood reality want-to-be “experts” that many real professionals laugh at. The gross connection inall the circus of actors representing and treating this con can be easily discredited when the TRIAL BY JURY gets to actually See, Hear, Read, Touch, and Dissect ALL of this ugly woman’s EVIDENCE of SCAMS! KARMA us coming-TraLips knows this, she tweeted herself positive book reviews, got busted and erased them!! She lies and cons SO MUCH that she leaves a trail of mistakestakes (evidence) everytime she speaks! Be patient, these idiots will be exposed for the scam, reality hoes that tgey are-Dr Sofy, Dr Drew, TraLip’s pr team, manager andcwhoever slse associated with her. The IRS alone could probably take Taylips DOWN and land her in the pokey for a couple of years! Patience….
@drdrew I have lost faith and respect for you after tonight’s interview with Laurie. I guess you would rather ride Taylor’s gravy train. Laurie didn’t seem as fabulous as Taylor. Go for it Dr Drew!!! Excellent example for recovering addicts. The smirk was priceless.
both interviews were disgusting….I hated how he fawned over Traylor and put words in her mouth talking about the little Shana being abused (or something like that)….it was like a lightbulb went off in her head…like…”what? oh yeah! I can add that to my abouse stories too! yeah Dr Drew YEAH!”
I wouldnt be surprised if she did do something with Dr Pee Pee…I mean, he does have $$$…he’s a step up?…..He was acting way too defensive of her…sickening!
Then the poor sister! How the h*ll do you get that they were bipolar? Did he talk with Traylor about her perception of their family history or real family history and Dr. No Socks? Because didnt Dr No Sock “prescribe” Russell meds? (although I think it was Traylor) Dr NoSocks was their therapist & Dr. No Socks & Dr Pee Pee are friends…..Did he say something that was doctor/patient info?
i read in one book review that she states Russell’s mother as having a mental illness. Where is Ronald Richards in all of this?
