Taylor Requests Bravo Edit Ex-Hubby's Footage

After the horrible suicide of Taylor Armstrong's husband, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiere has been somewhat questionable. Rumors that it will be cancelled, delayed, etc., have been running rapid.

What we can say is that when and if the series airs, Taylor Armstrong wants the memory of her husband to be an honorable one and hopes that Bravo will edit appropriately.

A source told Radar Online: "Taylor will be asking Bravo executives to look at what they planned on airing, with the heightened awareness and sensitivity of Russell's suicide.

“Taylor can only request this as Bravo owns all the footage and both she and Russell signed off on having any control with how they were portrayed on the show. It's important to recognize, Russell agreed to appear on camera, no one forced him to.

“Russell agreed to have his therapy sessions with Taylor filmed with the expectation that it would be aired. In the end, Bravo will have the final say if any changes are made at all, period."

TMZ has learned that the entire cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been instructed to keep quiet about the suicide of Russell Armstrong. That means to interviews, no more tweets...

Also, Bravo has cancelled the filming schedule that was to take place tomorrow and opted instead to have a cast meeting.

No word on whether Taylor Armstrong will be at the meeting, we assume she will be taking a substantial break from filming.

The Salahi's apparently still think people care what they are up to.. but Bravo has given them a nice dose of reality by rejecting their plea to be on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

They are renting a $20K/mo pad in the swanky neighborhood where they will possibly be raising a new addition to their family (Michaele Salahi is planning on having a baby via surrogate in the near future).

TMZ sources reveal that the Salahi's manager had been in talks to get them in on the drama filled season 2 of RHOBH but Andy Cohen simply said, "We're not interested." Ouch.

Russell Armstrong Commits Suicide

Russell Armstrong, the almost-ex-hubby of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong, was found dead of an apparent suicide yesterday evening, TMZ reports.

Authorities arrived at his home on Mulholland Drive and found him hanging in his bedroom (a roommate had called 911 and informed them that he had hung himself). He was pronounced dead at 8:16PM. No suicide note was found.

Taylor had filed for divorce last month after claiming Russel, 47, was physically abusive towards her.

This is such terribly sad news. Our thoughts are with Taylor, their daughter Kennedy, and the rest of their friends and family members.

UPDATE: Russell's lawyer has released the following statement regarding what led up to his client's suicide,

"I feel bad because his credit cards weren't working ... He had tremendous financial problems. He was also extremely bummed out about the divorce with Taylor. As far as a will, even if he does have a will, they don't have any assets, so I'm not sure what there would be left to leave. I am extremely saddened ... I had no idea he was depressed."

Taylor Armstrong Talks About Her Divorce

Judging by the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 2 trailer, there is no shortness of drama this year. For Taylor Armstrong, she had some very personal drama unfold on camera.

"Unfortunately for me this year, there were a lot more tears, a lot more pain," Taylor Armstrong told E! News' Meagan Medick about her recent split from husband Russell Armstrong.

"I know it's going to be hard for me to watch a lot of it," Armstrong says of her soon-to-air split. "It's been such an emotional ride for me this year. And it's one thing to experience it, but then to watch it again on television and know that millions of other people are watching, it's going to be tough."

As for what she's doing to keep her mind off the split, she said, "I'm out and I'm spending a lot of time with my daughter right now. We're just trying to really take it day by day right now and trying to keep her life as consistent as possible and make sure she knows that she's surrounded by so much love and we're so fortunate that she really is."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is returning for it's second season next month and Bravo just released the scandalous trailer. Well, Kyle Richards may disagree that the trailer wasn't all that scandalous at all. She chatted with LimeLife at NBCUniveral's Press event earlier this week:

"That doesn't even put a dent in it," she said. "I was thinking, of all of the things they could have pulled -- they used the mild stuff. I guess they didn't want to overwhelm everyone."

"There's been a lot of shift in the dynamic," she goes on to say. "I've gotten to know the girls even better. Some of them at the beginning I knew better than others. Now we all know each other inside and out but the dynamics do shift throughout the season. People that you would be surprised to side with and not speaking and going back and forth. That's definitely prevalent this season."
