Taylor "has been up all night. She is hysterical, and can barely speak. She has no idea why Russell would do this. She doesn't know how she is going to be able to tell her daughter, Kennedy," a source close to the situation tells us exclusively.

Taylor had recently filed for divorce, and their marriage had been in trouble for some time.
The upcoming season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was going to feature the former couple going to marriage counseling in an attempt to save their marriage.
No word on if Bravo plans on airing those sessions in light of his tragic death.
Russell had "been dealing with a lot of financial stress in recent months," our insider tells us.

I really hope the LAPD looks into this sketchy situation because I smell a huge cover up on Taylor's part. She is relentless, delusional & dangerous to anyone who "gets in her way". She will do ANYTHING for fame & fortune. It is sad, but very true.

Taylor was born Shana Hughes (proven by HS yearbook) & changed her name to Shana Taylor, then changed her name AGAIN to Taylor Ford and insisted she was from the Ford Motor Family in Oklahoma. Sketchy.

I know Taylor very well and I strongly feel that she had someone kill Russell and make it look like suicide so she can get the insurance money and a lot of publicity

A suicide is tragic! How very sad for his Daughter! My condolences and prayers go out to his Daughter, Mother & family and to all those people who loved him! I don't watch those shows so I don't know all the details! It is unfortunate nonetheless!

Time to move back to Oklahoma. Beverly Hills/Bel Air are too expensive for Taylor who has no assets.

Hope Taylor/Shana doesn't exploit this tragedy. She seems fake and untrustworthy.
Sorry for her daughter.

The only reason she's "hysterical," is because she's gonna soon inherit a WHOLE LOT OF DEBT! If life insurance is denied because of suicide, I'll personally be LMAO at her and the rest of the gold diggers! Gotti go!

Not that I don't thnk this is tragic, but if he knew he was going to do this, and if there was insurance that would pay even with a suicide, I hope he made sure the proceeds would go to his son.
