What did Taylor Armstrong say about her ex-husband Russell Armstrong?

In the most recent installment of Hollywood Demons on Investigation Discovery, broadcasted on April 14, Taylor Armstrong detailed the instances of abuse she endured at the hands of her husband, Russell Armstrong.

In her memory, she recounted an alarming event where it’s said that Russell Armstrong shoved her into a pool, causing her to worry he might drown her. Furthermore, she asserted that their neighbors, friends with whom she was particularly close, were aware of Russell’s abusive behavior. Taylor Armstrong also mentioned that one of these neighbors had pledged assistance in helping her escape from Russell Armstrong.

Russell was concealed beside the house, listening to everything that happened,” she continued. “Suddenly, he burst into the backyard.” Later on, Taylor Armstrong disclosed that Russell had assaulted his neighbor by grabbing him and knocking out several of his teeth (as reported by The Daily Mail).

Afterward, Armstrong recounted an instance when Russell had made a threat against her. She mentioned that once, while Russell’s sons from a past marriage were visiting, she prepared pizza for them. The former star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills pointed out how Russell stormed into the house, grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against a wall, warning her that he would take her life if she ever served his children “pizza without vegetables” again.

Taylor Armstrong too remembered discovering surveillance equipment scattered throughout their residence, which led her to suspect that there was no personal space or privacy within their marriage.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share a harrowing experience from my past that still resonates strongly with me. Back in 2011, while celebrating my 40th birthday at the luxurious Four Seasons hotel, an incident occurred that would change my life forever. The man standing next to me then, Russell Armstrong, unknowingly fractured my orbital floor. This fateful encounter took place at the very same hotel where our relationship had begun.

The pain and trauma from this event were so profound that it ultimately led me to seek reconstructive surgery and eventually file for divorce. It’s a moment I will never forget, a testament to the power of love gone wrong.

Armstrong herself expressed her astonishment and disbelief upon learning that her former husband took his own life, mentioning there were numerous issues that troubled him. To clarify further, she emphasized that the thought of suicide had never occurred to her.
