Taylor Armstrong, star of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, will most likely give her first interview in the wake of her estranged husband, Russell Armstrong's suicide, to veteran TV reporter and interviewer, Barbara Walters, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

A source close to the situation says that Taylor has been besieged by media outlets trying to snag the first interview, and although she is more than willing to sit down and tell-all, when the time is right, it’s important to her that she can trust the person interviewing her.

"Taylor would likely feel the most comfortable with Barbara Walters,” the source says. “Taylor expects to be asked the tough questions, and will answer them.

“The interview will most likely happen in the next month or so, and not sooner. Taylor needs a bit more time before she is ready to talk about the suicide.”

Meanwhile, Taylor is trying hard to put back the pieces of her shattered life following the gruesome discovery of Russell’s body, hanging at a friend’s home on August 15.

"Kennedy is very, very excited about starting school,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “It's a prestigious school, and protected so Taylor knows that Kennedy will be okay. Taylor has been advised that the best thing for Kennedy right now, is for her to start school.

People should keep quiet & not give interviews about these tragedies. Elin Wood had enough class to stay out of the limelight. She didn't need the publicity like this Taylor fraud.

I loathe Taylor but, to be fair, Taylor has to worry about paying the bills, Elin didn't.

So now she will willingly accept money talking about her husband killing himself.
Such class.

This stupid tramp is gonna be interviewed on national television? WTF, don't they know that the majority of us sane people don't give a rat's ass about anything she has to say? Unless of course, she hangs herself on national tv.

BRAVO is owned by NBC so Ann Curry should get the interview.

She's done enough damage, it's time for her to shut her mouth and think about her adorable daughter. She'll grow up to hate her if she doesn't shut up about her father!!!

My old boyfriend got violent. Love/Hate. She is dirt poor. If people will pay ...so be it. Killing
myself over money? duh..bankruptcy. But, his abuse, likely self-hatred over it..was too much
to bear. She should have quit the show.

Dirt poor? She's enrolling Kennedy in a $10k-15k kindergarten class & still lives in a $9k/mo. house. She's being sued for signing checks & making $ out from the co. suing her.
