Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Taylor Armstrong Discussed Ex-Husband Russell During Wedding Speech
Taylor Armstrong reportedly spoke of her late ex-husband, Russell Armstrong, during her weekend wedding to John Bluher.
With WEtv cameras rolling, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star made a rambling speech, discussing her late husband, domestic violence, and even going as far as to make a plug for a weight loss company, all while making many of her guest quite uncomfortable.
“Taylor gave an emotional speech to her guests where she reflected on Russell [Armstrong] and the domestic violence she suffered by his hands,” a source told Radar Online on April 7. “It seemed really weird and out of place and it made some of the guests uncomfortable. While she was speaking about the domestic abuse some of the guests walked to the back of the party so they were out of hearing range.”
Armstrong and her late ex-husband were married since 2005, and welcomed daughter Kennedy Caroline in 2006. But sadly, their marriage was plagued with verbal and physical abuse, according to Armstrong, and in 2011, she filed for divorce. Months later, Russell hanged himself, leaving Armstrong to raise their daughter alone. Following his passing, Armstrong admitted to having a titanium mesh implant holding up her right eye because of Russell's abuse.
Also during Armstrong's wedding speech, the reality tv star, who was filming her big day for her wedding planner David Tutera‘s My Fair Wedding series, seemingly plugged a weight loss company.
“It was like she was an ad for the company," the source said. "She basically said ‘After my husband committed suicide I knew I needed to get back in shape,’ and it was really strange.”
