Taylor Armstrong kept photographic evidence of beatings that she allegedly endured at the hands of her estranged husband, Russell Armstrong, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
Taylor began having pictures taken of what she alleges are proof of the physical abuse she suffered, several months prior to her decision to file for divorce from Russell.
“Taylor kept the photographs to document what was going on in her marriage,” an insider reveals to RadarOnline.com. “She didn't plan on including the pictures as part of her divorce proceedings.

“Taylor was too ashamed to do so. She began taking the pictures in the spring of this year, and there are recent pictures of a badly beaten Taylor. The most recent pictures were taken about a week and half before Russell's death.
The source goes on to say that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star "has always had problems dealing with any sort of conflict in her life. Taylor will do anything to avoid conflict, and this is one of the reasons that she stayed in the marriage.

“She kept thinking that Russell would change, that she could help him. Taylor is now realizing that by avoiding conflict, she made the situation worse.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Russell was found hanged on August 15 at a friends home, the coroners office ruled the death suicide.

This is just getting pathetic. Disparaging the dead father of her 'beloved' daughter. It'll all come back on her.

OMG, Bravo and Taylor are sure milking this man's death! It doesn't do any good now to scream foul, she didn't fight back when he was alive so get some therapy and move on. Let Kennedy's father rest in peace.

Wow, again! I bet she's trying to sell them to the highest bidder. Just say no, ROL.

NE1desperate enough for suicide...should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand & start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try.

She was doing the legally right thing by archiving the evidence. Yes, it doesn't do her any good now that he's dead but if she were my daughter or sister I'd encourage her to take photos and of course keep them hidden from the abuser.

If Kennedy was grown and her husband was beating up on her would Taylor tell her to do nothing but take pictures? This woman is either lying or she's a fool. Let's see the picutres!!!!

Since it sounds like Taylor's itching to show the pics, I'd like to see the face she had when she went to the doctors/nurses for facial reconstructive surgery. I want to see why they thought it unnecessary to call the police.
