Taylor Armstrong to Write Memoir, Profit from Husband's Suicide
She's already given numerous interviews about the suicide of her estranged husband. She's released hospital photos aiming to prove he beat her.
So is anyone really surprised by the following fact? Taylor Armstrong will release a memoir in February.
The 272-page book will be titled "Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within," and, of course, Armstrong claimed she is writing it to raise awareness of domestic violence.
“It will be a memoir and the abuse she endured while married to Russell, as well as another abusive relationship she was in the past will all be detailed," a friend tells Radar Online.
And all profits will go toward domestic violence causes, right? To help with such an important, personal issue? Not according to any sources, no.
As seen above, Taylor and Russel's marital problems have disgustingly taken center stage on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this season. He was found dead in his Los Angeles home on August 15.

After watching the show carefully.. Thanks to dvr.. I believe Taylor's erratic behavior stems from a life of lies. You see that Russell goes as far as suing Camille for the "slandering" comments made about him on previous episodes. A man that beats his wife can not completely hide his abuse to the extent where that person would be confident enough to take action in court. Taylor spoke openly about her "abusive" relationship but attacks others who repeat her own words. Russell might have been a dishonest business man.. But I truly believe the nervous breakdown we see Taylor has is from cracking under the pressure of the constant lies she kept telling her husband and friends..both completely different stories..and when the two worlds collide.. The result is a frantic woman trying to keep her innocent image.. Not only was she trying to ruin her marriage she was caught up in financial turmoil which she blames her late husband..but maybe she should have stopped trying to keep up with her ca

Taylor and her husband have a shady past. She's previously known as Shana Ford, Taylor Ford etc., she and her husband tried to pass her office as a "Ford" heiress to get investors. Russel was convicted of tax evasion. Taylor said she took the name Taylor because she was called Taylor in school, when she was actually called Shana Hughes. Then on the show Taylor does things like talk about being abused to the other housewives, then goes home and tells Russell she told them. Isn't that odd when you are afraid you will be beaten? So then Russel sends CAmile a threatening letter. It really starts sounding planned/contrived. They were building up to this end. This with the current inconsistencies in what she says is why people don't believe her. They were so much in debt that it is a common scenario for Russel to take his life, so the wife and kids can prosper---Taylor could then pursue book deals/tv deals etc. After all she has the background to know about abuse since she volunt

Rowan, I agree with what yousaid but I doubt it applies to Russell and Taylor's marriage. She never had solid proof and if in fact she did have the black eye and broken eye socket there would have been an investigation. Not just believing her daughter kicked her. Wow what a powerful kick from a 4 yr old. Funny the girls didn't think twice about it after having heard the remarks Taylor made to them in the last couple years. Get real she is a poor excuse for a human being.

What's even crazier are the posters defending this cretin! Expect backlash when your're on a reality show putting all this sheet out there!

This chick is nuts. All she cares about is who she can suck dry of money next. I bet it's so easy for her to claim Russell abused her now that he's dead and cannot defend himself. She's a freakin' wack job, fame-whore, money sucking loser. Go drop off the face of the Earth.

Boy, I would hate to know the people casting all the stones...Lest ye have walked a mile in her shoes, you should all just keep your crappy thoughts to yourselves. You people who are name-calling like you know anything are merely jealous, hateful, and bitter. You have no idea what price she paid for anything she endured.
And if the kids posting here have a brain in their heads, they will hopefully be sorry for such vile, nasty words.

I am sickened by the comments on here. If you, yourself, have never been a victim of domestic violence, YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK. This disease is extremely complicated for both the abuser and the abused especially where there are children involved. How DARE YOU judge whether a person is telling the truth or not or why she is speaking out. Being quiet only protects the abuser -- it does not change him. Shame on you!!!!!

Why is everyone forming opinions? We will never know the truth...Sometimes it is stranger than fiction.

Yeah right! She should just dump all those books in the bin because I'm pretty sure no one would want to read bitch fits in a book that would cost a lot of money. Heck I would prefer reading jack and the bean stalk than that crap!!!

Taylor is, plain and simple, a money whore, and she is totally to blame for Russel's suicide. So she didn't like that he never seemed to enjoy himself at parties, that he couldn't dance, was possessive. Big deal! Why didn't she leave him? As long as he provided for her and her lavish lifestyle, he was almost good enough. Sure, she constantly complained to the wives about him, but hey, as long as he doled out the money, she went along for the ride. Amazing that user / loser women like her still exist; I would like to hope that they someday soon they will follow Tyrannosaurus rex into extinction.
