A very reliable source close to Bravo and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is stating that the premiere for the show in wake of Russell Armstrong’s suicide has been delayed indefinitely. In addition TMZ is reporting that Taylor Armstrong was beaten so severely by Russell before the filming of Season 2 that he broke bones in her cheek and that her resulting injuries delayed production. Read on for the latest information in regards to this ongoing story.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Russell Armstrong apparently committed suicide via hanging and his ex-wife Barbara Frederickson is not mincing words in regards to who she feels is to blame. She has told Radar that, “I don’t care for her (Taylor Armstrong) at all. I think she’s the reason for this.” While this may be her opinion the fact that these comments have come so quickly after the horrible news they seem ill-timed at best.

Russell Armstrong is staking his claim as possibly the shadiest Housewife husband. In a previous 2-post breakdown we revealed that he’s a convicted felon and that he’s been accused, among other things, of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, statutory securities violations and breach of fiduciary duties. The latest chapter now involves Beverly Hills Housewife Taylor Armstrong as well as the two are on the wrong end of an alleged internet scam lawsuit.

The tenuous marriage of Taylor and Russell Armstrong was a major plot line for the first season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Behind the constant back and forth we saw on camera was a more harrowing reality as Taylor has told People that Russell was often verbally and physically abusive with her. Read on for the deets including the surprising confession by Russell that he indeed DID get physical with his wife.
