Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - I'm not the only one that doesn't believe Taylor right?

I'm kind of disgusted by this story line. She's a known con artist who has changed her name multiple times. Why is Bravo editing her to be the victim? If anyone was abusive in that relationship I'd put all my money on it being her. That "bruise" on her face was obviously from cosmetic work. Or perhaps she actually hit herself.

That scene in the therapists office and probably the one at Dana's house last week were obviously taped after Russell killed himself, so she could make her story seem more believable. And ugh, who brings their therapist to a restaurant opening? How inappropriate is that relationship?

Yes, yes, I know. It's trashy "reality" television. But I love me some trash.

No doubt Taylor has some deep seeded problems of her own, but I believe Russell was crazy, controlling and abusive.

Here's my take.

I do think Taylor was being abused, but I also believe she was emotionally abusing Russell. Now, in no way shape or form does her behavior make it okay for him to physically abuse her. They were obviously toxic together and he should have walked out the door the first time he wanted to hit her. But after watching the season and paying very close attention to their body language it is pretty apparent she was afraid of him. I don't think she's an angel and I think she's demonstrated on more than one occasion that she is emotionally manipulative.

I have not watched the episode from last night, but I will say the promo scenes with the black eye did raise the flag for me: I think she made herself up to look like she had a black eye. I say this because on last weeks episode there was no sign of abuse. I will add that there is the chance that he abused her even after they separated, but I find this less likely as I'm assuming she or her lawyer would have taken some precautions to prevent them being in a situation where he could have done this.

See I don't think she looked like she was afraid of him at all. Now Kim's behavior last night and that scene of her crying a few weeks ago is of someone who is in an abusive, controlling relationship. Russell once admitted that he had shoved Taylor when they were arguing and she had done something to him. Bad enough and definitely toxic. But no way he broke her eye socket, or whatever it is she claimed.

And conveniently for her, he cannot defend himself now.

In TA with PP.

Not sure why I am so into this salacious smut but I am.

To me, Kim seems like the only one acting out as if she is in a controlling relationship (also mixed with substance abuse)

Tayloe did not AT ALL seem afraid of Russell. Not in the slightest. I don't buy it for one second. It bugs me bc it really seems like Bravo is spinning this to portray her as a victim even though I don't believe she fully is.

Angelina looks a helluva lot better than Demi Moore does right now. She looks disgusting.

Oops. Wrong thread. I shouldn't try and listen to a conference call and read DCUM at the same time.

Agree with everything you typed. Taylor has never appeared afraid of Russell. Taylor comes across as an abuser. I will take you out back and go Oklahoma on you, Taylor. I believe Taylor physically abused Russell. There are pictures all over the internet during the alleged timelines of abuse. The pics show know signs of abuse. There are no black eyes, busted eye sockets, nothing. I am with Camille Grammer, where is the evidence. These women were with Taylor always and they never saw any physical signs. None. Her BFF, Kyle, lamented two weeks ago that she was having doubts about Taylor's accusations, her quote was "God forbid, what if Russell is innocent". Remember that Russell threatened to sue Bravo about Taylors accusations and Bravo told Taylor that they were going to stop filming them. The next time Taylor is calling Lisa in Hawaii and mentioning divorce. Taylor is a famewhore and she created a line to stay relevant. Unfortunately RHWOBH has now become the Taylor show and frankly I am sick of the editing.

Kim in her drug induced state peeped Taylor's card last season. She warned her sister about Taylor to no avail. In Hawaii, without thinking about it, Kim piped in that Taylor was leaving Russell so that she could be invited to parties.

Kim's reactions to Ken are systems of an abused person. Funny, I think Kim has been abused before in previous relationships. Unfortunately, many people who are abused tend to gravitate to the same type of person. I actually like Kim, unfortunately, I don't think she was in rehab long enough. She has deep emotional issues, she supported her family as a child. She reminds me of Michael Jackson in many ways.

Bottom line. Taylor Ford, aka, Shana Hughes, aka, Taylor Armstrong is a fraud.

Yes, which is why I made the point of questioning why Bravo was editing her as the victim.

Kim is an abused druggie plain and simple. Sad to have so much going for you and then to throw it away.

I actually thought Kim's "disclosure" last night was all fake just to create drama and sympathy around herself. The way she mentioned she might be pregnant and was 3 months late (not 3 weeks - but months) and how she all of a sudden started telling people about Ken where a minute earlier she was saying how great they were?
Kim's definitely on something - the complete personality change from while she was in the bathroom - getting extremely agitated to when she comes out ready to dance.

I do want to ask what symptoms pp are saying are typical of a victim of abuse that Kim is displaying? I'm really not familiar with it so don't reallyknow.

I think the whole I might be pregnant thing was her in her drugged out mind being dramatic. I can believe that she'd create that drama on her own without Bravo being involved. She may actually believe she is pregnant.
