Russell Armstrong, Ex-Husband of Real Housewives Star, Dead of Apparent Suicide
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has turned more real than ever, in the most tragic of ways.
TMZ reports that Russell Armstrong, who appeared often on this Bravo series last season and who filed for divorce from Taylor Armstrong this summer in light of abuse allegations, hanged himself Monday night. He was 47.
Around 8 p.m. PST, authorities responded to a 911 call placed by one of Russell's roommates. They found his body hanging in the bathroom of his home on Mulholland Drive when they arrived.
In late July, Taylor went public with accusations that Russell shoved her and threw objects at her during their marriage. She was quick to say he's always been an "amazing dad" to the couple's five-year old daughter, however.
A few days ago, Taylor gave an interview in which she previewed the "emotional ride" ahead for her when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns on September 5, as her failing marriage to Russell is expected to play a major role on season two. It's too early to know how this tragic event might impact how the relationship is depicted on screen.
Our thought go out to Russell Armstrong's loved ones.

Something smells......Russell hangs himself, then his partner shoots himself 24hrs later (outside his parked car, not in the car, house, etc...), and when his so called 'worried' wife goes to 'check' on him, she has his so called 'close friend' meet her there because??????The phone call sounds STAGED...And the self absorbed Taylor heard saying...I need my shrink.....WTF.....They need to take a closer look at that whore and Russell's close buddy....

I don't know who these people are, but it's clear why he killed himself. The blond slut married him because she was a worthless sack o' sh*t and he had money. Then she stumble into this reality show crap and started making her own money. So, she summarily dumped him and began sport F-ing her way from L.A. up to Santa Barbara. Dude couldn't was a heartbroken schmuck. So, he killed himself. But he forgot the very important murder component of the classic murder-suicide.

@Ryan ... Shame on u for attacking her at a time like this. The show clearly depicts problems in their marriage and of course neither party is perfect. It takes two. Both played roles in the reasons for their divorce. U should be ashamed of yourself for attacking her when I'm sure she is regretful right now of things she has said or done. No one i's perfect. But for u to turn around and think saying thinga about Taylor just makes u sink to a lower level then them. Taylor...I am deeply sorry for your loss. I know that it must e hard for u knowing he will never be here in person again. I personally have lost my father and just know that u r the support that ur daughter needs not just now but forever. Don't listen to the bad and the ugly of people putting u down. Yes there are things u could have done differently but no one is perfect. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences go out to u and all the family. Stay strong for your daughter. But be sure u don't hide ur feelings entirely.

I have a major bone 2 pick with taylor. It was discovered that they had major financial problems dating back to 2005 where they filed a chapter 7 yet here she is spending close 2 $30.000 on a b-day party having a personal dress stylist ordering her expensive clothes and bragging about it on bravo all to portray an image that she's as lavish as her counterparts knowing she's a poser i can c why her husband was on edge and distant with her he was trying to work hard to make money while she was blowing it away. Now u hear her talkin about him shoving her and throwin objects at her but u dont hear why he did it or the whole story i bet my bottom dollar money problems were the root of their fights. I hate women who use men 4 their money then claim i was abused by him. She threaten to harm kim last season she's no angel at least he admitted 2 his wrong n the marriage i bet she'll never admit to her errors as a wife but will act like a victim and it was all him she makes me sick. Get off real
