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.
