The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

but I mean, how do you faint to get attention......unless you think she just fell over on purpose and played faint......

That's exactly what they do. Have seen it first hand. Usually men believe it and women don't.

Every funeral I've ever attended, the Eulogy was given by the closest person to the deceased.... be it a relative, friend, whoever.

As far as Taylor's emotional break, I can buy it, and I think it may be heightened by the divorce. She was leaving him, it's all on camera, she knows the whole world is going to see it all soon, she probably thinks the divorce contributed to his death..... the guilt must be unimaginable.

We all process grief differently guys. We don't know what the circumstances were that day. I know if I'm really terribly upset I can't eat, and it's happened at funerals before that I've felt faint (I've never actually fainted) but I mean, how do you faint to get attention......unless you think she just fell over on purpose and played faint......

You could be right. I just take everything that has to do with Taylor with a heaping boulder of salt. I don't think she is very genuine and she is more about her image, but that is my opinion. People do fake fainting--I see it in the ER all the time. It is not an unknown phenomenon. We do have tricks such as drop their hand over their face to see if they hit themselves or not, etc. that help us know the difference. I doubt anyone did anything like that there so only Taylor knows what really was going on.

At least she had enough sense to keep her toes pointed.

It is my opinion that IF Taylor (Shauna) actually fainted, or just crumbled, it just might be that it was under the weight of a truckload of guilt...she may just have left Russell because the money was gone and she was going to lose her Beverly Hills dream, her pursuit of television fame and riches put their marriage into a spotlight that Russell couldn't handle, she apparently gave Bravo a LOT of material to use to paint Russell as a villain, and all of that has left her daughter without a father (plus I think she really loved Russell). Not saying that's what happened, but it's very possible. Just a terrible, terrible mess and sad situation.

Who was the man carrying her, security? Where were the EMT?

Who said it was a 'faint'? How about a 'swoon' or "the vapors"?

Bravo to Air 'Real Housewives' Special About Russell Armstrong's Suicide

Um...I don't know why, but when I read that article I was just covered with goosebumps! Just my first reaction, I was shocked...why on earth do this? I'm sure there's some rational reason for it, but it's not coming through to me yet. Anybody who watches RHoBH knows what's happened...does anybody else find it a bit creepy and exploitive? I can't imagine what these women will have to contribute to the betterment of the show by going over Russell's suicide and the Armstrong's relationship. It makes me wonder if Bravo is intending to go ahead with some of its filming between Russel and Taylor. I just don't know what to glean from this Bravo decision. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts, maybe I'll understand a bit more. My gut just says wrong.
