According to a new report by RadarOnline, Taylor Armstrong is “struggling” financially following the tragic suicide of her estranged husband Russell Armstrong.
Sources reveal the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is worried about her future while struggling to make ends meet. “Taylor is desperately trying to figure out how she is going to live and support her daughter,” a source tells RadarOnline. “She is struggling to make money right now.”
The source adds, “She had plans to write a book before Russell committed suicide, but now she doesn’t know what she is going to do.”
We can confirm that Taylor was indeed planning to write a book. In fact, we were planning to post that story the same day Russell’s suicide made headlines. After a fan tweeted to her that they would love to read her biography on August 13, Taylor tweeted back: “Writing my story w a self help book right now! RT.” She hasn’t updated her twitter page since August 15.
As it’s been widely reported, the Armstrongs were having financial difficulties despite their portrayal on the Bravo hit show as being wealthy. “Taylor is scrambling to find a way to earn a living, but she isn’t sure how she’s going to make end meet,” the source added. “Taylor’s salary from the Bravo reality show was not as lucrative as they wanted people to think. Everything is currently on hold.”
Meanwhile, the National Enquirer is reporting this week that Taylor might have had a fling with another housewife. That housewife in question is none other that RHOC extra Fernanda Rocha. The Enquirer states that just days before Russell’s passing, Taylor and Fernanda were “dirty dancing and kissing passionately at a Newport Beach fashion show.”
Taylor’s rep however denies the story to the Rumor Fix blog, calling it “ridiculous.”
RadarOnline is also reporting that Russell might have had a life insurance policy after all, but the beneficiary isn’t Taylor but rather his first son Aiden Armstrong from his first marriage to Barbara Fredrickson.
“Aiden’s mom, is trying to locate the documentation about Russell’s life insurance policy. Barbara believes that there was a policy that named her son as the sole beneficiary at the time of Russell’s suicide,” reveals a source. And despite the fact that Russell’s death was a suicide, the insurance would still be valid as long as it was taken out two years before the date of the suicide, and the premiums were paid and up to date.
And finally, days after her only daughter Pandora Vanderpump tied the knot, Lisa Vanderpump tweeted some more pics from the wedding! Those are below.

Okay folks, here is my solution: I am going to place a magical circle of protection on this board: anyone who crosses the magic line for the purposes of trolling will instantly be transformed into a literal troll. Then they will be too busy dealing with the complications of being a troll trying to survive in a world of human beings to bother us anymore. Trolls be damned!
Lou, Anita n Cherry Popsicle about a month before I went back to the hospital. RT said she was trying to get someone to help her. She could do with some kind of help. I emailed RT last nite, I knew that was not Cherry writings, no way she would change how u feel in the middle of a story. RT NEEDS SOME HELP MONITORING THIS SITE. IF SHE DOES NOT STOP IT. WE NEED TO BAN TOGETHER N DO SOMETHING. let me know what to do. In bed can’t do nothing else
@247 Justme1
Oh you should have stayed. Annoyed was busted with using a plagiarized quote to Joan*sh*Rivers.
A poster becomes suspicious when they use a junior high school argument of “I am smarter and better educated person than anyone else on this board” and then posts a comment that is professionally written. Looks like plagiarism, walks like plagiarism, was plagiarism.
@SAMRA….I hope your feeling good today
and I’m with you 100%. Something needs to be done.
IMHO, that responsibility rests primarily with the owners of the site since they directly profit from it.
I’ve been leaving here when trolls come because they are not worth my time. The more they come, the more I leave. Others are doing the same.
If things don’t stay settled down, if no productive changes are instituted, IMHO, a boycott is in order and we can all meet up on another site. No since in giving up relationships with wonderful people who aren’t trolls.
*sense
Trolls are annoying as hell! They usually hit cause a shit storm of some kind ( post nasty comments using regulars names, or post nasty, ignorant, racist comments) to get a reaction.
Very immature!
Just as posters that call other posters, stupid, uneducated, ridiculous, or anything like that because they do not agree with them about a certain housewife or their opinion about a certain situation regarding a housewife. Very immature.
Just my opinion.
@249 Cherrypopsicle- I see your point…unless he is just playing her and doesn’t actually care about her…?
I question the whole abuse allegation, then i look at Russell’s past and think “maybe”… and then i see another story “leaked” and i think BS. I can’t wait to see what the other housewives have to say in the special….of course it will all be “polite and politically correct” I’m sure…so will it be honest or not?
@257 Stilletto
Maybe he is just playing her.
I think Taylor is sitting on a potential goldmine with this beautyticket.com. Russell’s company made investments in Davi and a Brazilian skin care company, I believe is Amazonia (hard to tell exactly what Russell says on the video of the BRICs conference). Both of these companies products are unique and “organic”–possibly green. These products were going to be marketed through beautyticket.com.
So besides selling name brand cosmetics at a lower price, beautyticket.com would be introducing new, consumer and environmentally friendly products.
Taylor as the Chief Creative Officer (the same title Bethenny has at Beam for her SG line) of beautyticket.com would use the RHOBH as a marketing platform, along with her FB page and twitter account.
This new bf, then, probably figured this out, he is Rob Dydek’s manager, so he has some smarts about markets and consumers, or Taylor was bragging about her business acumen and savvy.
@Cherrypop–good point–if you did change your name, the trolls might just adopt it. I do think it is pretty clear to most of us regulars who is real and who isn’t.
@SAMRA–Hi honey! Good to see you. I hope you are feeling well. I’m so glad you are feeling good enough to post here again. My thoughts and good wishes to you.
Karma has come knocking on Traylor’s door……
I am sorry if anyone else mentioned this, as I didn’t make it through all the comments yet. As I recall, at the beginning of the season she talked about having her own business and how important it was for her to be independent (gag). In fact I recall a scene where she and Russell were having dinner and he asked her “how’s your little company?” or something like that, and she was all in a huff about it. So what was that and why doesn’t she just go back to doing it? As for selling her stuff on eBay, only an emaciated 12 year old could fit in it, so good luck with that.
@252 SAMRA
Thank you so much for sending an e-mail to RT!
@254 Lou….Count me in on that boycott….Actually I don’t nearly visit this site as much as I used to because of this craziness….. Life is too short….
228/Lou…I think I’m in love…I’m glad someone had the balls to say something…I completely AGREE with you….it was absolutely ridiculous…both parties were adding to the problem/hijacking in the post
Anita….as always, I agree with you too
@263 Kim… Hi, how are you? Yeah the craziness is a bit much here but I was thinking about setting up a Google blog in the alternative, if it comes to that.
It would be nice to have a troll free zone or at least one that deleted them right away..lol
@264 Luv…Everybody has something going on their life and people come here for entertainment, not to deal with asshats.
I have a real low tolerance for bullshit these days. I understand that posts go off topic,also. But the OT feeds and troll and becomes nothing more than ego stroking-enough and self aggrandizing- enough.
Boards are about community not cliques of who knows who and who knows what. IM and keep those comments off the board, rather than making others feel left out and less clever.
Thank you for your support, much appreciated, sincerely. I think love you too
Hey everyone on STOOPID HW HAVE PICS OF TRAILER TRASH TAYLOR OUT N ABOUT. They say she’s living in Kyle’s basement. I know she better not have her around her hubby HAHA
Regarding Traylor and her inability to live within her means (whatever that is) I can’t help but think about a blogger that I keep tabs on. Her name is Justine Musk and she was once married to billionaire Elon Musk (he founded and sold Paypal and a couple of other very successful start-up Internet businesses). She was financially irresponsible in many ways. She was and is in no way comparable to Traylor, but her viewpoint on what one thinks they need to have and what one actually needs to live a happy life could certainly benefit stupid Traylor. The link is below for anyone who cares to check it out:
http://moschus.livejournal.com/
Some of you may have seen her on the CNBC documentary last night entitled “Divorce Wars”. You’ll have to scroll through her posts a bit to find her comments on finance, but it’s well worth it.
I think Justine Musk makes some valid points as this economy continues to chug along and force many of us to re-evaluate our standard of living.
@Cherry – See my post on the Bethenny thread. I knew it wasn’t you. That poster wouldn’t know how to keep up with my DIL who has a Masters in Anthropology and is working towards her PhD, but at the same time finds time to pursue her interests in organic farming.
It’s always the most insecure people who latch onto the Internet as a place where they can spew their hostility and venom. Just be happy they don’t live next door to you….been there….done that….had to move. LOL!
tmz has new pics of Traylor out and about — looks like she’s learning to use a parking meter for the first time.
Hope she was able to scrape up enough change for the meter. She can’t afford a parking ticket! bwahahahaha!!

Pity the trolls ….. they can’t help their miserable lifes.
@268 CeeJay – One of my favorite Richard Branson quotes:
Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won’t make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa – and it’s about getting a balance.
Richard Branson
@272 – Sometimes I dream about what I would do with the money if I won a HUGE lottery payout or was successful enough in business to make a billion. At the top of the list each time is charity. I would help family members who need it and I would reach out to causes that I care about. Now that’s a happy life. I’m happy with my little pontoon boat, don’t need a yacht, but a lot of kids in Africa could use a warm meal every day!
I look at the way Donald Trump lives his life and the way Richard Branson lives his. I’d take Branson’s life any day. I’d much rather spend my days doing business in a swimsuit on a tropical island and swimming with whale sharks than in business attire, in an office (no matter how oppulent) and being driven around in limos.
Each seems to be happy with their life; however, for me, Branson’s life seems perfect!
@265 Lou….Well if you set up that google blog keep me posted…… My visits here are getting fewer and fewer which is sad because I do enjoy alot of commenters on this blog…..
I need to take some time to read the avalanche of comments – I apologize in advance if this has been previously suggested -
Wouldn’t it be considered a success for the reality TV public to boycott RHOBH scheduled for this Monday? It would register loud & clear to Bravo, I’m sure of it.
In addition, any RT viewer that has not gone cold turkey on RHOBH yet, could get a quick fix reading RT’s blog without having Bravo’s viewer count go up. Agree or Disagree?
@274, thefamewhoreblog,
A lot of celebrities like Branson, Bono, etc, love to attach their names to charity as a marketing tool.
Just look at all the brag-brag Oprah does.
Regardless, every dollar counts (when the darn village heads are not stealing it!)
@276 Rebecca – I’ve seen two different polls regarding this. One was on People and the other I think was Entertainment Weekly. They asked the same question, Despite the recent controversy, will you still be watcing the RHOBH when it premieres Sept 5?
Both polls had about a 70% yes people would still be watching.
Wow!!! These cucarachas are really causing some posters major anxiety!
Please ignore them! They will go away!
Blaming RT is not fair.
The posters should do their part as well.
I feel RT is doing her best to keep this site hassle-free for ALL.
No one can verify ID unless a card is given or at the very least a paid, work, or school email is used.
Sandra Rose does this and bans posters who start shit ASAP.
No need for all this crap.
Posters & Regulars! Just IGNORE the cucarachas!!!
@279… Ragin…no major anxiety over ass hats. I just don’t appreciate having my time wasted or being bored to death with idiocy.
If I decide that I want that I’ll call my relatives.
Good golly! I’ve been missing some major drama here – are people hijacking other people’s screen names and posting? Isn’t there something here on RT that blocks 2 people from having the same screen name? This board has changed so much over the past year, it’s a shame because this has always been such a fun place to read recaps and comments…hope whoever is causing problems just goes away!
Aiden’s mom, is trying to locate the documentation about Russell’s life insurance policy.———————————-
So, the son is a sole beneficiary of Armstrong’s life insurance policy oh, but the mother is looking into it. He either is or isn’t.
Hi All,
While I have been reading the comments posted here for the past year, this is my first time ever submitting one. I have seen on other sites where comments are posted, at the bottom of the comment there is a spot where it says “Report Abuse”. If anyone reading the comment thinks the comment is mean or abusive in any way all you have to do is click on the “Report Abuse” spot and type your complaint and send it in. If I can remember correctly it was on the http://WWW.RealityHousewives.Com site. Hope this is some useful information for all of the respectful people who should not need it in the first place!!!!!! Im so ashamed of the “mean” posts!!!! Disgusted is probably the right word for what I feel. As Taylor would say “ENOUGH!”
Just read an article on StoopidHousewives that prior to Russel’s suicide, Traylor was dating another man who lives in Malibu and they were inseperable. What a whore!
Only a day after Taylor Armstrong announced she was divorcing Russell Armstrong, reports surfaced that she had been seen out with Hell’s Kitchen chef Seth Levine. Tragically, Russell committed suicide just a month later.
But according to a source for In Touch Weekly, Taylor was seeing another man, 33-year-old Malibu businessman Jeremy Larner, only a few weeks before Russell’s suicide. As for how serious the romance was getting, the source claims Taylor was “always with” Jeremy.
It’s unknown if Russell knew that Taylor was dating someone.
@Cherrypopsicle… True Taylor COULD be sitting on a goldmine if Russell’s suicide and that little thing about a fraudulent lawsuit don’t squash those deals….
Aren’t they still filming a few episodes this season? Guess Taylor will keep the boyfriend away from the cameras, it would lose her sympathy points.
After the first season, I was hoping that Taylor wouldn’t be returning for the second season. There was something about the way she stood up for a charity about violence and turned on Kim that made me uncomfortable about her. Everyone loses their temper but she seemed to sense the one in the group she could bully. Kyle contributed to it too.
@286 Stilletto
Russell made the comment about increasing financing to the Brazillian company in late June at the BRICs conference.
As far as Davi, IDK. If there are fraudulent dealings, then Davi maybe exposed.
I am not an attorney and I don’t know that much about estates and trusts but could it be possible that Taylor takes the interests in those companies–Crescent Financial Partners, I believe was the investor, so would Russell’s share in the company go to Taylor. (I also don’t know much about LLC–but I thought they were more like partnerships that incorporate to reduce liability, although I might be wrong.)
Maybe this has already been addressed, I’ve read most all comments and didn’t see it though – but didn’t Taylor have her own company? The one Russel called her “little business” (or something like that)? What happened to that? Sorry, I’ve been sick and out of the loop for quite awhile.
What is the deal with the Lysol man Did RT sell out.Dont like it at all!!!!!
She hooked up with Matt that should solve her money problems not so sure about the lips…
What should poor dumb Traylor do? How about GET A JOB, Dumb*ass like the rest of us poor schmucks and quit mooching off Kyle by living in her basement. Next time Kyle looks up, Traylor will be mooching (or smooching) with Mauricio. She doesn’t have poor departed Russell to mutually abuse for money even if they lived above their means. Maybe he cheated and lied and skimmed money of the top of his companies to keep Traylor in the lifestyle she always demanded. I mean $65 Grand on a 4 year olds BD party? Come on….She is the poster child for why we need more exorcism’s in this country.
As for the photos of Lisa’s VP’s daughter, PanDORA with the too cute for THAT husband thing. WTH is with her hair all stringy and flat looking? A million dollar wedding, dahling, and her hair looks like she just got out of bed? EEWWW. Then big mama has the nerve to wear a bigger tiara to the event than her daughter – attention ho just like at the Bachelorette Party in Vegas with “the Chipmunks”. The cutest thing about that show lately is Jiggy or Ziggy,or whatever his name is. Only in BH can you drag your dog to every store and eatery in those outfits! HILARIOUS.
What kind of dog is that and just what does Ken do or Lisa to get all their money????
I miss hearing from and about Cherry, Lou and Anita – where did they go??
Happy Holidays to everyone – wherever you are!!
@293 Babson,
Cherry popped in one day I think it was last week, promised not to pop in again even though she was told she was missed. Haven’t heard from the others. If Cherry was still on she would definitely deserve a pat on the back for all her detective work lol.
JustsMe1 – thanks for info. Sorry I missed that. Yes, Cherry was a great detective – miss all of their input. Enjoy the different personalities on RT – just not the mean ones that troll thru from time to time.
Lou was one of the most negative, mean people I have ever seen on this board. Good riddance…as for Anita..she was interesting. Cherrypopsicle…..is an obsessed individual who posted under possum and Observer as well and seemed to have conversations with themselves. Now we have an Observer2 who the other night also asked (honeybun)about Cherrypopsicle stating how they missed all her sleuthing. So….pretty sure who Observer2 is. Why not just use one name only, although it is interesting reading the crazyness here. BTW meinnc is a long time poster here…not sure why someone thinks otherwise. That is all. LOL
I just found this site today and joined because some of the comments are funny and seemed as tho a lot of people feel the same way I do about Taylor.I have noone to share my thoghts with about the shows.I am not out to hurt anyone here and I don’t know what you all mean by trolle.I am just an old widow that likes to voice her opinions.I am not rich by any means so I am harmless.Just wondering if newbie’s are accepted or you all would rather not have them?After reading the older posts I am not sure.
