Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

[handinpocket]

I really have to question if he did abuse her after watching last night's episode. Someone should make her show proof of that "broken jaw".

What was with the previews? Lisa and Kyle a phone call in Hawaii they looked shocked when they mentioned something about Russell. Did he hang himself while they were in Hawaii? Is that how they found out?

I think the season had already finished filming when it happened.

Yeah. That's what I figured. I wonder what they were talking about.

 

[bjgrazi]

They were still filming, they suspended filming for a day or two and then resumed after a meeting and were told not to speak about it.

I just saw a promo tonight about that ... It had Taylor on the phone saying that her marriage was over ... So I think that is what it's all about ...

Gained MAD respect for Brandi last night. Kim was a hot mess and Brandi allowed her to prove it. Kyle LOVES attention. The way she was crying was ridiculous. Taylor is another one who annoys me. Regardless of what was said, she knows it wouldn't have been said if she hadn't confided in her friends. !

All of this!

One word for last night's show. Awkward! Every part of it!!

The limo ride was the worst part. Russell and Taylor could not have been more fake.

I wondered how many takes it took to get all of that!! All I kept picturing was Andy Cohen sitting on the other end of the limo holding up que cards!!

I liked Brandi last night, even though I didn't in earlier shows. She can be raunchy at times. Kim was a nightmare and loved to listen to herself babble about nothing while finger pointing.

There's not much I can say about the whole fiasco with asking Russell and Taylor to leave. Paul was an active participant which floored me a little.

I hope next week is more entertaining.

Kim made a complete jerk out of herself last night. There is absolutely nothing interesting about her....at all!!! She and her ex-con looking boyfriend give me the creeps!!!

Loved Adrienne and Paul last night. They are on to her and want no part of it. Also, I think Kyle should have let Lisa know Russel had discussed suing her as well. Lisa was defending Taylor and had no idea.

I love Adrienne and Paul...although I think that she can be kind of mean to him but I think it's part of the shtick.

I too was thinking that Kyle should have spoken up too about Russell threatening to sue her. I don't think she would have been quick to defend her.

I may be in the minority but I do think that Kyle felt bad about asking them to leave. However, I think that after she got the call from Adrienne she should have called Taylor herself to tell her that Russell was not welcome.

I find it very creepy to watch Russell. Just knowing that he committed suicide soon after filming, or during filming is just weird. But I don't think that they could have cut out his scenes and explained everything going on with Taylor.

All of the housewives have seemed to be supportive of Taylor since Russell's suicide, but I wonder what they honestly think of her, especially since she got them all involved in a situation that (arguably) contributed to his decision to end his own life. What a mess.

Kyle's blog is interesting. She basically says she isn't sure of what was really going on. Taylor was practically living with her after the split (or so I've read) so it's interesting that Kyle isn't taking on stand more on Taylor's side.

I also read the phone call in Hawaii is Taylor telling them she's left Russel. If that's true then the broken eye socket incident happened between the White Party and Hawaii. The thing about the broken eye socket thing is, I remember a season of The Real World (now I feel old) when one of the guys got into a bar fight. It was in the first few episodes and he ended up with a broken eye socket. His face was a total mess (swollen, bruised)from it for the entire season, which i think was several months.

I hope I quoted right. I'm new.

You did and welcome!!!

I honestly can't see Taylor letting herself get abused by her husband. Let's be honest, even as boney as Taylor is, she probably could have kicked his behind. Remember she could go all Oklahoma on him. Their whole situation just seems so odd to me. To me she just seems like an attention seeker, like she wants people to feel sorry for her. IDK, I am torn on it, because I know you never know what goes on in someone's marriage, but they were high profile, it just amazes me that someone at one of the hospitals or a friend hasn't come forward with stories of abuse. Even Nicole Brown Simpson took picturs of her abuse. I don't trust Taylor, and while Russel gives me the creeps, he is just so weird/odd, You never really see him show any reaction to anything. He seems so oddly calm and even keeled. Then again, those are probably the ones you gotta watch out for.

I hope Kim and Taylor and Dana don't come back for the next season. Can't stand any of them.

There are pictures of Taylor all banged up online -- you can google them.

But I agree with the rest of what you are saying. I think she has a motive for everything she does. Here's an article hilighting some of the Armstrong's business antics which includes Taylor misrepresenting herself to get customers for business ventures.

In the BH producer's blog, they said Taylor lost her cell phone in Las Vegas and that's why no one could reach her.

Here are some pictures that were posted after he killed himself. I think she is crazy.

Anyone else feel like Russell finally saw Taylor and all her lies when confronted by all the other wives and husbands outside Kyle's house? It seems that was his first clue that she was feeding all the wives the abuse stuff. She even said that what Camille said was exaggerated...but it's the same abuse story she gave to Kyle. She was covering her own a$* with Russell. I can't help but feel that Taylor played a very heavy hand in Russell's ultimate decision to end his own life. I remember reading about Russell's death the day it happened. I remember reading that he was living with his friend at the time of his death, no longer residing with Taylor. More like he left her...not that she finally left her husband. She never thought that all the crap she was spewing about her husband would get back to him. She relied on the fact that he was not really friends with these people, nor did he want to hang out with them. She probably thought she could say what she needed to say to get what she wanted out of the housewives, attention, comfort, pity, etc. and it would never get back to Russell, because she was the information/connection between him and the wives.

Every one of the housewives was told the same story by Taylor, then she sits next to Russell wondering who said what about abuse allegations to the media. She sits at the dining room table discussing who Lisa knows at some media publication, and whether she should be threatened with a lawsuit to stop spreading slander and libel about her marriage. Kyle just sits there and participates in the conversation, yet never lets Lisa knows she's being blamed for something she most likely has nothing whatsoever to do with.

The producers, camera people, sound guys, etc. are with all these people way more than we see in the finished product/episodes. I just wonder if the light in which we are now seeing these people is really what goes on behind the scenes. Who they really are. I see Taylor now playing a huge role in Russell's demise. She said vicious things about him to people that have direct access to the media and exposing it to the world. I mean who really sees Taylor as a victim of Russell and his abuse at this point? I know I sure do not. If there are photos of bruising and swelling, I'm going to assume it was due to a cosmetic procedure, not getting beat up by her husband.

I see Kyle playing both sides of everything. Complete attention seeker all the time too. She's very calculating too. Camille is a complete 180 degree from last season. I wonder if she'd be just the same as she was last season if she wasn't fighting for custody of her kids...image conscious at all time for the Court system and against her ex.

Adrienne is Adrienne. Thoughtful, diplomatic, and business like. Kim is, well...unstable, at best. Dana is self absorbed and status driven. Lisa is like Adrienne, busy, hard working and fair. Don't really see her as a problem. She doesn't go looking for problems, but people do come to her with their problems. Lastly, Brandi is a bit trashy, but she is much younger than the rest of the wives. In time, she may realize that she does not have to use such colorful terminology to get her point across, or connect with others. That will come with maturity. Seems funny that Kyle and Kim were just as inappropriate as she was at the party, yet they see themselves so much more elevated than her. Without their sister marrying into the Hilton fortune, those two would probably be just two more has been Hollywood child stars. Doors are open to them because of the Hilton name way more so than anything they every did with their acting careers in Hollywood.

Boy you've saved me a lot of typing! I agree with all of this. I started watching because I was interested in what Kim Richards was like since I grew up watching her in movies. She is so ugly with the way she kept attacking Brandi, she's just horrible. I think Kyle has a real mean streak we're seeing this season, I liked her last year but not this year.

I think Taylor exaggerated about what happend with Russell since all the girls agree on what they were told. I think she's lied to Russell about what she said and is responsible for the lawsuit threat.

I'd also totally believe that he threatened to sue the show. It makes sense now that his email to Camille probably threatened all the girls plus separate emails to the producers. This also explains part of why he wasn't in the show and then he was.

I'm sure after his emailing the producers told her she couldn't be on the show anymore because of the lawsuit threat. Leaving him was probably coming but I'm sure he was tirading at home about the show.

I still think he mostly killed himself because he was broke but this sure didn't help.

The way Kim keeps attacking Brandi is laughable. She has some nerve. I wish somebody would finally tell her about herself.
