Umm...did you paste the wrong link? That's a link to a video on Mizzou bid day.

Russell Armstrong's business associate committed suicide the day after he did.

This is extremely strange. Not sure if there are ties or what (if any) business dealings they had together but the story just keeps getting weirder.

I say there are ties. If part of Armstrong's suicide was his debt and struggling business, his business associate may have felt abandoned and even more desperate. There is definitely other stuff going on but that's the more immediate assumption that I make.

I agree with your assumption as it was mine as well. Just sad.

I'm also intrigued by the stories now coming out about Taylor and the lifestyle she was so desperate to emulate (a la Adrienne & Lisa) b/c they really do have money and she so wanted to be a part of that circle. I read the article in US Weekly that her initial opening line for Season 2 was something to the effect that she worked to hard to live in that zip code (Beverly Hills) to leave it now. The more I read about her, the more disturbing picture it paints of her.

I think this is yet another dose of reality for reality tv. People are trying so hard to live up to a false reality.

Talk about a lane swerve. I couldn't figure out how we went from suicide to Beyonce's pregnancy.

Huh. I wonder why Camille wasn't present? It seems Kyle, Kim, Lisa & Adrienne were all there for Taylor but not Camille.


Also, BRAVO has filmed & is going to air a special on Russell's suicide with the ladies (except Taylor) present.

LOL!! I was so shocked to see that, I forgot what thread we were in. Anyway ...

I think Taylor's going to need some professional help to deal with all of this (that is, if she's not getting it already). I couldn't imagine how tough this has to be for her. She was abused as a child, ... then she married a man who abused her, ... now she has to live with his decision to commit suicide. And, after all that, another person does the same?? I have to wonder what is really going on with all this.

I think it was quite a noble move for her to start a foundation helping to bring awareness to abuse, but I find it quite disturbing that while she was helping to promote this foundation, she was actually enduring in her marriage the very thing she was trying so hard to help stop.
