I know these things because I would not be put on Team Pretty. Taylor has her own issues with alcohol. We have been subjected to enough drunks on this show. I was done with Taylor when she got rid of Kennedy's little dog. That dog could have provided some comfort to Kennedy following her father's death. The only Taylor scene that was enjoyable involved Russell asking Kennedy if she wanted some soup. Lord knows this show has seen its fair share of substance-dependent women, but what I really detest about Taylor wasn't so much her alcohol benders but her barely concealed con artist ways.
There's just something so unseemly and criminal lurking beneath the surface with her. It's one of the few times where I wish LVP hadn't caved to peer pressure and continued her outspoken dislike of Taylor. I think she could smell the phony like the rest of us. They might not be the most outwardly aggressive like a Tamra or a Kenya, but the grifter element is just as bad, if not worse.
Yes, the real issue is that Taylor is being cast for the wrong show. She needs to be on American Greed or Dateline or Botched. She definitely is not an innocent spouse. I shouldn't judge but her new husband gives me the creeps too. Something in buttermilk ain't clean thank you, Phaedra. It has nothing to do with money. At best, Taylor needs to go over to the OC. We don't want to see her there either. I suppose I could begrudgingly watch Taylor again, but I can't believe even Bravo would be cold-hearted enough to bring back that poor little Kennedy!
Can't the network have the decency Taylor lacks and film the mother and not the daughter? That girl deserves better. God knows, she's already suffered enough! I have read a few articles now about Taylor Armstrong returning to the real Housewives of Beverly Hills and honestly it makes me sick to think that they would cast her again. She clearly only cares about fame and staying relevant.
It is really sick to hear that people actually attack one another about their illnesses. Honestly that does not surprise me! I don't mind her return, it'll be nice to see a familiar face. My disdain for her previously was due in large part to her husband at the time, and she endeared herself to me a bit by acknowledging and laughing off the disaster that is her lips. Don't care if it's a matter of whether she has it or if it's a matter of questioning the severity of her symptomsI don't want it on my screen.
OT, but I LOVE how the internet has democratized journalism so that any ol' shlub can "write" an "article," grammar and punctuation be damned! Various mistakes in those riothousewives. Taylor's plastic surgery cannot have gone well. I can't imagine that she was happy with her lips. She reminds me of Donald Duck. Taylor, to me, has always been a shrew. I know that husband Russell had his own problems, but I always felt that Taylor contributed to his suicide. In that scene at Camille's dinner party, when Taylor stood and yelled "Enough!
I'm terribly disappointed about her return and hope that Bravo shows her the door before long. I find Taylor a fascinating study in sociopathy and cunning. It's at once remarkable and frightening that she has been able to control a narrative that at one time was a whisper away from careening off the rails to the extent that Camille, the woman she literally accused of imperiling Kennedy's safety on national television, is now all air kisses in their appearances together.
And while I think she is an incredible and incredibly talented liar, I don't mind her coming for Yolanda considering Yo's own bizarre fabulism began in earnest when she needed an excuse for yelling "you're a real asshole" to Taylor at a social event.
Taylor's a liar and a con and IMO lied about significant aspects of Russell's behavior. I wish her ill. She got what I think she wanted - I think she wanted him permanently gone and a richer husband, and I think not too deep down, she's very happy Russell is dead and cannot contradict her recall. She's a lying piece of trash. She is worse than Tre G. We see the fake elements of her appearance, but her thinness, ability to sound articulate and ability to control her temper, her awareness that putting herself in philanthropic roles the work for the shelter , the name change from Shana to Taylor, ALL of it demonstrates that she is a long-con queen who has been prepping to elevate herself for all of her adult life.
She is really scary. I always felt Reality TV Taylor was one of the least canny housewives, yeah she tried to play "the game" but it usually blew up in her face - I suspect that Taylor comes across better in person than on TV. To be sure Taylor is a fervid social climber, and does have skills in that area, but I don't fault her for being able to make rich and influential friends because she knows how to stroke their egos.
Russell had a history of domestic abuse and other violence that preceded Taylor. Taylor's history pre-Russell is pretty clean, her biggest crime was getting that lip implant. Hmmm, I do agree that she probably comes across better in person than on TV.
But on the flip side, phonies tend to sniff out their same kind, and that's probably why Lisa disliked Taylor's griftery ass. And yes, I do absolutely think Taylor is a big bad grifter extraordinaire. I cannot believe how upset I am about this when I do not know these people.
For about a minute I liked her and then all her lies and phoniness and gold digger ways started showing. I believe they had a tumultuous marriage n that they abused each other at times. Just look at her expressions when she gets called out n listen to her stutter n try to backtrack n change her story. I am really worried for that little girl also. God Bless everyne involved including that sick monster. When u cry, u have a runny nose and water running down your face.

By Anya I admit it. Related posts:. Celebrity News Roundup. Mary, I read Taylor went by several names, before she married Russell. Bla bla. Taylor was the abuser in their relationship! We all saw the manipulation.. I will not jump on the hate Taylor bandwagon, just because what others think or believe. What anyone buys with their own money is there business. I have never watched any of these Housewife shows. I think that is for the best, LOL.
Jennie, I have seen her interviews on several shows, she seems to agree with whoever is talking with her at the moment. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. Certified Domain Site Seal. Share this Article Like this article? Email it to a friend! I am sorry, Kim.
I wish you happiness and I look forward to putting the past behind us and building our friendship. Thankfully, Russell and I are working on our communication and spending more time together… without our Blackberrys. This experience allowed us to see that we needed to refocus our attention on our marriage and work on being there for one another. We are spending more quality time together having just returned from two weekend getaways and we will be heading to the Superbowl this weekend. The show gave us a wakeup call and for that, we are thankful.
I made wonderful memories with each of the ladies while filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. And, although the cameras have stopped rolling, our friendships and our lives continue to grow and develop.
I look forward to more laughs and more moments with five women who will always hold a special place in my heart. Anyone who watched that awkward scene where they go to a spa together knows that Kim and Taylor will never be friends, and also suspects that Taylor has no desire to even try.
This woman is unbearable. So she and Russell are spending more time together…without their Blackberrys. It must have taken a lot of tequila shots on their Mexican getaway for him to get anywhere near his wife who whined endlessly about their marriage on national television. Oh, and probably some pics of her girl crush Kyle.
Yuck…it was gross hearing that Kyle had those nude pictures of Camille on her blackberry. I was beyond shocked hearing this at the reunion. And why was it not shown on TV, yet they showed Camille with her friends at home after the women left. How disrespectful is that? At least Camille admitted to her struggling days not unusual in Hollywood. But her friend Faye made money off of her murdered friend and why would you consider this a close family friend.
Great example for the kids. If someone was snotty and rude to my friend about posing in Playboy when you know that person has done porn?
Apparently people are buying her brand of crazy. Kyle is passive agressive toward Kim and this is a prime example. You insist that the finale party was all edited out of sequence and manipulated to make, despite no one actually being involved saying anything of the sort. I know, I know, this horrible winter storm gripping the nation is all the fault of Kim Richards and her drinking. It has always been my opinion that editing has been used to create these episode.
We are told that filming can go on for many hours, yet we see minutes of it. I truly believe the finale limo was an unexpected Bravo goldmine and totally out of sequence. And IMO, it was likely Kyle and Taylor who were responsible for this horrible weather that gripped the nation. Does someone know where to find it or is. Spot on recap.
I agree with those observations. Drinking or no drinking, Kim was not making a scene at the party. She was dressed up after getting makeup tips, she was quietly sitting talking to her friend just enjoying the party. She got up because Taylor said can I talk to you. How Taylor came to putting the issues to bed meant antagonizing Kim by blaming her for not speaking up on the spot as a safe bet boggles my mind. Kim said she was done and saw no reason to keep bringing it up.
She was right. Kyle came over stating she heard her name, but she never once asked or listened to Kim. Did it matter who asked the questions in the airport, it was irrelevant, because had Taylor said nothing it would have ended. Andy did take his balls in hand when he said to Taylor you started the fight. She did. Worse was the fact that Kyle was all into supporting Taylor holding her hand calling her a friend, and she showed who she blames for things.
It was a mistake and unfair of her to never apologize to her sister. Kyle never did the same for Kim. Andrienne and Martin who showed character by talking to kim in the limo saw an unfair situation happening. I hope Kim has a happy life and if she needs help with drinking she should do it for herself and her children. Kyle can stop blaming Kim for everything from their mothers death to saying she is a burden. Kim was her sister from the first episode to the last, and Kim deserved a sister back.
I cried for Cynthia because I think she made a mistake. Her sister and mom made a decision that was the right one, by giving her the license.
If she was going to marry him she would, just be there for her. He is scary with those damn red eyes, Visine! That is some scary stuff going on in Egypt. But hey we all know Kyle and Taylor made those people punch Anderson. Just glad he is safe. Ah yes there is that whole revolution going on over there.
One thing that struck me in the first reunion show last Thursday is how Taylor immediately started deflecting regarding Kim i. Taylor seems to weasel her way into these ladies lives. Then they become friends.
Kyle, who is aunt to the famous Paris Hilton, becomes the newest sidekick for Taylor. Taylor then likes to stir the pot with Camille being the ultimate gossip. Kim, in all her Taylor obsessed drunkenness, does not fall for Taylor and neither does Lisa. I just wish Lisa had radar like that concerning Cedric. Taylor staring all night at Kyle and Mauricio at that White Party was soooo creepy. Hi Smartie Stoopid HW U r as mean as me,making calls so evil people will b prevented from doing more evil!
I left all necessary information required, in addition to a company web site that displays via email and tel. That was 2 weeks ago. Go Figure! I want to point out that the Armstrong s made an investment in the rehab, which is very different from a donation. A donation is a generous gift. I is not a gift. On the other hand, an investment indicates some ownership and control. Ownership allows Shana to make demands. In the many charities I have served,all the ladies were volunteers.
U would then b invited to the free preparty at a private home or even Saks or another Worth Ave store. U would b introduced to committee members, with the nudging of the staff person,that some committee member would b friend u and mayb propose u next year IF u stay in touch. Now u buy tickets for the event. I hope u have fun. My point. The Armstrong s also got a press release about their investment and were in the papers. The press release was designed to make the word investment confused with donation.
Investment banker Russell Armstrong and his wife Taylor said their involvement with Malibu Beach Recovery Center reflects their desire to help people battling addictions. Taylor Armstrong, co-founder and president of the implement management-consulting firm, said her past work with domestic-violence victims showed her the devastating effects of substance abuse. First I have to admit one of my flaws is that I am not very forgiving. I can hold a grudge with the best of them. I even have some rules for apologies.
I do not consider it a true apology if: 1 You have to ask for it. So my opinion on the subject is not un-biased if you will. Camille would cease to exist to me in my mind if she had behaved that way towards me.
You can chose your friends. I see similar situations and I am not sure what I am missing. Now, when it comes to family, all rules above go out the window. Kyle on twitter claims she did tell Kim that she loves her, but it was edited out. Who knows! When watching it there was no instant cut away after what Kim said. I was watching pretty close for her reply. Anyone else? I get upset enough just watching the program and reading their fake, nicey-nice blogs justifying all their BS.
No, she told Camille she heard things in her head that were never said. We all operate on a code of civility that makes society tolerable. Anyone who publicly refuses an apology because they suspect the true feeling behind it, are putting their own ego above community wellbeing IMO. Your example above is a perfectly good example of what I mean about not turning it around on the other person.
What Kyle said was not an apology. Good point. I recall hearing some good advice about business and personal communications.
Camille never faultered in her certainty about what Kyle said. But Kyle fumbled every chance at reconciling because of her arrogant way of communicating and fake apologies. An apology is a step in the right direction. When receiving an apology you should accept it and try to move on. It takes two to fight and it takes two to make up. Kyle rubbed it in her face every time. But it shows a real lack of humility on the part of Kyle.
I wrote you to say I agree with you, because I do…. At some moments it even felt like she was being coached even while sitting there. When she heard the question or comment, take a few seconds and then respond.
Bethenny did bring up the things that bothered her about JZ after the apoligy, but eventually just acepted the apology and even asepted the hugh no one wanted to see , and moved on. Oh absolutely, Kyle kept beating that dead horse. There comes a time and their time had long past when you realize what your relationship is and you decide to simply move on. Buffywood, I agree with you about what constitues an insincere apology. Her entire apology was about how Camille heard it wrong, took it the wrong way, etc in a tone load enough to drown Camille out.
I turn the news while I am getting ready in the morning so I can see the weather report. I heard something about the housewives, so I paid attention. They showed part of the reunion, the one when Taylor was talking and crying about her relationship with her husband. Taylor was on the phone line and talked with the news lady.
She said that Taylor has been getting a lot of good comments about putting herself out there regarding her problems, and that many people relate to her, yada yada yada. It turns out that they know each other; the news lady was so sympathetic and nice to her. In other words, she is friends with Taylor?? Why was Taylor on this? I guess the story was about couples with problems. Kyle made snide comments in her talking head interviews about Camille that I thought were uncalled for at the time.
I knew something was off. Kyle thought Camille was showing off at the game because she got up and danced with the mascot. Some comment on the plane about surrogates and very catty looks made behind her veil of hair while Camille was talking about it Kyle assumed Camille did the surrogate birth option to keep her figure.
There was plenty of nasty stuff Kyle said and did prior to NY. Perhaps the Bravo producers were feeding the information to Camille — there you have it.
I agree Kyle could have done a better job on the apology and blowfish should have kept her mouth shut. But Kyle never should have fed Camille with her anger and swearing — this is where Kyle lost it and Kim had nothing to do with how Kyle responded.
The whole NY fight and related fights that followed are all so childish, name calling and hurt feelings, my 5 year old nieces have arguments with more substance.
I wonder if Camille felt that Kyle, being the wife of her realtor, and lower in the BH pecking order should have been more subserviant and not entitled to be treated as a peer. Together they are a catfight waiting to happen. Some people here have apparently not considered this subject with as much depth as you have. The dictionary definition of a bully is: aggressive person: an aggressive person who intimidates or mistreats weaker people.
Since many have agreed that Kim is a weaker person than Kyle and has been both belittled and mistreated by Kyle then Kyle is by definition a bully. What happened in that Limo was classic bulling. As you so astutely observed Kyle came out of the gate going after Camille. I feel Kyle tried to intimidate Camille by being aggressive with her and this also fits the definition of a bully.
I too felt things were off when Kyle said so many things that were negative about Camille right from the start. How mean to insinuate that Camille had no good reason to have her children by surrogate. She adopted and she has told me of mean things people have said to her.
But the fact is that it was Kyle who started saying unkind things about Camille not the other way around. It kind of amazes me that Kyle gets a pass by some for all of that she did and said regarding both Kim and Camille. But for that matter so does Kyle. Thank you PJ, I so agree with you. Even Kim said that was the tenor of the conversation finally — better late than never, I guess , NOT what Camille delusionally, through the lens of her own massive insecurities, heard.
In all of the episodes of this season, I noticed that Kyle was the one with the dirty foul mouth. Four letter words when ever she is angry and always on the defensive. She talks above others to drown them out. Sorry if this has already been posted, however, I just logged on and have not had time to read all the comments. On Inside Edition they are discussing Camille and her life before she married Kelsey.
I think she has just been outed. They showed clips of the movie that she was in and said that she did soft porn before she married Kelsey.
The movie came out the same year that they were married so they said Kelsey knew. I was a little dissapointed as I still think Camille is vile and she is delusional. I might add I came up with that on my own and not because Kyl said so lol. Kyle always sends us a clear signal when she may not be telling the whole truth.
She gets extremely defensive. That creative little Portia! Doing re-tweets for her Mom. How thoughtful. Kids do the darnest things!
I recall a time my three year old got out of his bed, crept down to our bedroom and dialed at 10pm! I brought him downstairs to talk to the policemen and he said he was glad really worked. They were sweet and told him to only call if there was an emergency because I would be charged for calls that were not. Brings back memories! I actually believed Kyle, my kids do all kinds of stuff on our computers like moving files and all kinds of things. Oh gross! I hit into that the other day.
Why would she even allow Bravo to tape somthing like that? Although I guess these are the third set of implants perhaps, so surgeons might be interested. The following is a subset blog of the IHJZ blog and board. Thank you for visiting. Today we are going to look at the differences between the Costa Rica and the Illinois prairies in February. Jill is sitting on the edge of an infinity pool with temperatures in the 90s.
Jill reminds us that nature is beautiful. The sun is shining in both locations, but the sun feels a lot closer to the beaches in Costa Rica than it does to the snow covered prairies in Illinois.
I saw some monkeys in the Chicago Aquarium with Lynn Hudson and a taller and younger friend who is also a member of this blog last Saturday. The monkeys were tiny, shiny and black. I wonder if they were the same monkeys that Jill was watching. Ours were hanging from trees also. Our monkeys have pools of water with fish in them. It was also very warm in that area and very much like Costa Rica.
There was no sun in that part of the Aquarium, but it was warm in there. Jill Zarin is correct. Nature is beautiful even if it is artificial nature inside a very large building. I was worried about my horses and cats in the barn during the blizzard. Ginger went to a water therapy class. My horses and cats watched a historic storm from their stalls and little caves in the hay bales. The kitties used my foot prints to jump through the snow to where I was shoveling. Ginger had cookies for a treat.
I gave my horses cut up apples from our orchard as a treat today and the cats had some leftover turkey. Jill Zarin has not been sharing her concerns about the amount of food she is eating on this trip. I believe that she may still be having problems with her teeth and she does not want to bother us. That is a problem for her fans and friends. Last year, Jill did not share with Bethenny that Bobby was very ill. Bethenny was not a good friend to Jill even though she did not know that anything was happening.
I want Jill to know that I remember that she had pain on Sat. I want to send a flower arrangement to her home, but I think she would call the police if I did that as I am a member of this IHJZ board and we are not supposed to know her address which was listed in every article about her apartment which went on sale shortly after she redecorated it with the help of her gay husband, Brad. So all I can do is say how much I care.
Thank you for reading this subset blog of the IHJZ board. Thank you for saying nice things about Jill Zarin in the reply section of this subset blog. Say something nice about Jill Zarin: I hope that she loves it so much there that she stays forever and ever. You get a weekend with one more in Boston and error in South Beach at the house of horrors. Bring sun screen and a bottle of Skinny Girl Margaritas.
You are going to receive a pair of socks sold by Jill Zarin 15 years ago to a woman who forgot they were in her sock drawer and never used them. They were on Ebay. Jill Zarin is not complaining about her dental problems and the horrible debilitating pain she must be enduring!!! Oh, my… that was the important adjective. No one, not even Jill Zarin, deserves to be sunburned. For this lovely comment, you too will receive an invitation to the weekend at Kramers in South Beach.
There will be dinner and a pool party with floating colored balls in blues and purples. Pool party invitation to the South Beach taxidermy house of horrors. One more in Boston is the hostess with the mostess. You could sent the flowers to Zarin Fabrics. I am sure that Jill would be happy to receive them especially if they are very nice.
Lots of food and Skinny Girl Margaritas. Just watching the housewives on Ellen. So freaking Charlie Sheen and his out-of-control disgusting antics gets treated with respect and sympathy while Adrienne is telling their role in the phone call from his house after yet another bender of coke and hookers, while Kim got nothing but vile shame and disgust from these vipers?
She makes me ill. She really does think she is all that and more. Ugh again! And we were also admonished by Bravo to stop hating on Kyle because things are better because she says so or should I say her PR people say so. She was so flip and laughing in her attitude. Vile shame and disgust? What about her niece Paris then?
Yet, I distinctly remember Kyle going on E! So basically, her spoiled little skank of a niece is just misunderstood when she gets caught with cocaine possession, but her obviously wounded sister gets dragged over the coals for alleged alcoholism? Fuck Kyle. Kyle feels the need to take care of Kim because of a promise she made to her mother. It has nothing to do with her other sister or her children. Q I used to like monkeys.
I am surprised at Jill,on the food report. Mayb she is going to roll out a NEW tweet program. I think your right Katie and I have always felt that Kyle knew that Camille and Kelsey were on the outs.
This imo explains the cattiness. Kyle def wants to be top dog and expected that. I disagree. Was that game suppose to represent a day in the BH ladies life but they do it with blindfolds??? He said that LuAnn and Ramona will have dueling Sweet Sixteen parties for their daughters that causes problems for the housewives. Let us know in the comments!
