'RHOBH' Star Taylor Armstrong Shares Shocking Details Of Abuse By Late Husband

Former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Taylor Armstrong has recently opened up about the shocking details of abuse she suffered from her late husband, Russell Armstrong.

In the new Investigation Discovery documentary, "Hollywood Demons," Armstrong recalled horrifying events, including the time she believed her then-partner was going to drown her.

Taylor Armstrong also discussed an incident in which Russell Armstrong punched her in the face, fracturing her "orbital floor," a bone that supports the eyeball, after a discussion turned left during a visit to a friend's home.

Fans of "RHOBH" likely remember Taylor opening up to her castmates about some of the abuse that occurred in her relationship with Russell. She shared bits and pieces with Lisa Vanderpump, Adrienne Maloof, Kyle Richards, and Camille Grammer.

However, in the new ID documentary, the Bravo reality star takes viewers even deeper, revealing more than ever before.

In the episode, as reported by the DailyMail, Taylor Armstrong said the abuse from her partner got so bad she thought he was going to drown her after he pushed her into a pool.

She said one time, when they were staying with a friend, Russell overheard the couple telling her that they would help her leave her marriage, and that sent him over the edge.

“The man said, ‘We’ll help you get out of this because this is not okay, and we’re really worried for you.’ Well, Russell was hiding around the side of the house and heard everything,” Taylor said.

She continued, “He came flying into the backyard. He threw me in the pool. He grabbed the man, knocked all of his teeth out, and he jumped in the pool, and he was trying to hold me under the water. I thought he was going to drown me.”

The reality star, who also appeared on a recent season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County," also opened up about a time when Russell told her he'd k-ll her.

“Once [Russell’s sons from a previous relationship] were visiting us, and I made them a pizza, he came into the house, grabbed me by the throat, and put me against the wall. He said, ‘If you ever serve my kids a pizza without a vegetable again, I’ll k-ll you,'" she recalled.

However, the violence didn't end there. Taylor shared even more, including the time Russell punched her, fracturing a bone in her face.

During an earlier season of "RHOBH," Taylor went with some of the cast to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party. While on the strip, the ladies visited a Chippendales show.

When she returned, Taylor said Russell began accusing her of cheating on him with one of the performers and, despite her denials, punched her in the face. “He raised up, leaned over like this, and punched me,” she explained. “He fractured my orbital floor, and so I went to see the doctor, and Russell went with me.”

After Taylor filed for divorce from Russell in July 2011, he died by suicide a month later. Taylor, who has one daughter, Kennedy, admitted in a previous interview that she brings Russell up in conversation from time to time. Still, her daughter doesn't seem interested in speaking about him.

"I was saying, 'Do you miss daddy?' And she said, 'No. N-O," Taylor said. She went on to say that she tends to remind her daughter of the good times they had together as a family; however, that doesn't seem to work either.

Taylor recalled her daughter saying, "'Why would you miss a boy who screamed at you all the time?'"

The "Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" star also spoke in depth about the day she discovered Russell's body in 2011. She explained how she felt something had gone wrong because she couldn't get in touch with him throughout the day.

"I'd been calling [Russell] all day, no answer, and I just knew something had gone wrong," she stated. "And I went to the house ... and my little girl was in the car with my assistant because I never assumed it was going to be something so catastrophic."
