Taylor Armstrong writing tell-all book about marriage to Russell, domestic abuse


Radar Online has a source saying Taylor’s signed a book deal to write about her marriage to Russell Armstrong, who committed suicide 3 weeks ago. Before Russell died, Taylor had come public about suffering from physical abuse at his hands.

The book is slated to be out by Noevember and will allegedly feature photos of Taylor’s wounds from her abuse. It’s also supposed to talk about other celebrity accounts of domestic violence, and if this book is real, will no doubt follow the self-help-through-memoir format that most Real Housewives books take on.

Radar’s source says the main motivation for the book is to help Taylor support herself and her daughter Kennedy, who are reportedly having financial difficulties. Russell had a long past of legal trouble surrounding his financial dealings, and filed for bankruptcy in 2005. Their financial troubles had continued since the bankruptcy, with both Taylor and Russell being named in an $1.5 million internet scam lawsuit. To make the tangled mess worse, Russell’s business partner in an elite investment group, Alan Schram, took his own life just hours after Russell’s body was found.

Taylor’s book hasn’t been officially confirmed.
