Armstrong’s family has been vocal about their belief that the reality show, and Bravo, the network that airs it, are to blame for Russell’s suicide, and his step brother, Wade Jackson told RadarOnline.com that they are even considering a lawsuit.
“Bravo is at fault and somebody needs to pay,” Jackson said in an exclusive interview. “Russell’s whole family was very close and they’re considering suing Bravo.
the entire season in light of the tragedy.

“Russell’s dad doesn’t want to talk about what happened to him with a lot of people, but everyone in the family thinks that Bravo is to blame.”
Meanwhile, Bravo has yet to announce how they plan to proceed with airing footage of Russell – although they have decided to delay the premiere of the new season by “at least one week.”

If you were truly hurting over the loss of a loved one you wouldn't be threatening to sue everyone involved with this man. She obviously wasn't involved in his life otherwise she would have known. Stop trying to make money mom off of tragedy.

How does the mother think she gets a say? The guy signed a CONTRACT. If any money changes hands, he has 3 minor children. Butt out, "Mom."

Like it or not he made the decision to end his life NO one put a gun to his head and told him to do it. He made a choice all by himself. Blaming others for his decision is rediculous and unfounded

All Russell's FATMOUTHED mother is trying to do is to try to set herself up for some kind of lawsuit against Bravo. And she will be UNSUCCESSFUL. Russell surely signed a release to use footage of him. No sympathy for her or her abusive son.

I think it's pretty lame to blame Taylor for what Russell did. None of us really knows what went on in their marriage.It was his choice to take his life. They're all hurting now & it would be nice if some would show a little compassion.

Yeh, unfortunately she has no legal right to prevent them from airing anything. His WIFE, has some say, due to her relationship with Bravo.
