"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills'" Taylor Armstrong will write a memoir about her marriage to her late husband Russell Armstrong and domestic abuse, The Wrap reports.

Due Feb. 7, Hiding From Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within will detail the abuse Armstrong says she suffered at the hands of Russell during their five-year marriage and her quest to help other victims of domestic violence.





Russell Armstrong committed suicide in August, a month after Armstrong filed for divorce and claimed their marriage was "abusive."

"Did I push her? Yes, maybe things happened in the heat of the moment, but it was during a time in our lives that was not characteristic of who we were," Russell told People at the time.

"This show has literally pushed us to the limit."

This is terriable!!! He's dead now and can't defend himself from these allegations. Was he abusive? Sounds like he might have crossed the line by his own words above...but to the extent that he abused her....now we only have her word for it. I'm not saying it didn't happen or that she is in any way making things up/exaggerating but...
