Taylor and Russell Armstrong had been living in a rental house when filming began on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

While fellow housewives, Lisa Vanderpump and Adrienne Maloof live in mega-mansions in gated communities, the Armstrong's lived in the Bel Air Crest area of Los Angeles, which isn't Beverly Hills.

Russell's attorney, Ronald Richards, tells us: "The house was no more than $9k per month, at the most." The Bel Air Crest isn't considered as desirable as Bel Air or the 90210.

Debt that Russell accumulated during his marriage to Taylor, could be her responsibility. Richards says: "This was most likely going to be a no asset divorce because neither one of them have any. There just isn't any money, period."

Prior to her marriage to Russell, Taylor had been a surgical sales representative, and a source says, she will have to go back to work. "Taylor has to go back to work, period. She has a kid to feed, and Taylor has very expensive taste. Taylor has family in Orange County so she might move in with them. It's just to soon to make those decisions."

It doesn't appear that Russell had a life insurance policy. "I asked that question and no one I know is aware of one," Russell's attorney says.

Russell's body was discovered Monday in the bedroom of a friend's home in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office Wednesday ruled his death a suicide by hanging. He was 47.

The couple has a 5-year-old daughter Kennedy.

She is responsible for his debts. When my dad died, my mom was responsible for his debts. She was able to get them halved because she basically had no money. We had to take out a home equity loan to pay them off.

They claim they were broke, if that was the case, how could they afford $9,000 a month in rent. She must have been earning something for doing that show. Something is fishy about them being so-called broke.

Even if he did have life insurance, I don't think they pay when someone commits suicide. At least every policy that I have seen states they will not pay when someone commits suicide.

Taylor could pose for Playboy, yeah. Hef will take anybody these days, even a skeleton woman who needs a bag over her head. I realize this is mean, but I don't feel like being nice to her. It'd be fake anyway.

If the Bravo network have any decency they should edit Taylor and Russel out of the upcoming season. Russel deserves to rest in peace.

Obviously her gold digging ways drove him to kill himself! What a selfish biitch. I hope she lives with that pain for the rest of her fake life.

She could follow in the other Really poor "Housewives" footsteps and start a tacky clothing line, ugly purse collection, junky cosmetic line, cheap jewellery line, or write some bad books. Sick of fake people living like something they aren't.

I've read that some reality show participants receive up to $150,000 per episode. I'm not saying that's what Taylor receives but even if she receives only say $50,000 per episode, she'll have to downsize but wouldn't be penniless.

Not for the "Real Housewives" franchise. Real Housewives veteran's do not even make your lowest estimate of $50,000 per episode. Besides, Taylor only has 1-Season under her belt.
