For the past two days I think I have heard opinions from so many people about whether the ET photos of Taylor Armstrong show physical abuse or someone who just had plastic surgery. ET brought out someone last night who said it looked like assault and that someone took Taylor's head and forced it into a wall or table. Taylor is going to be on the show so presumably will discuss whether it was assault or something else. The additional argument for the abuse opinion is Russell's documented history of assaulting women.
The pro plastic surgery opinions use the two X's on the forehead as marks that a plastic surgeon would make and when you have such such surgeries you can get a black eye. She also looks like she just woke up after being under for surgery. Those in the pro plastic surgery crowd also point out that Taylor has never actually said she was abused and has never actually said anything close. Also, they point out that ET has different photos now which do not have the two X's and wonder if they were airbrushed out. Their final argument is no doctor ever reported abuse to the authorities.
I think it is plastic surgery, knowing this trick's obvious history of it the abuse she puts her own face through, anyway.
ReplyDeleteDang. Picture won't load for me.
ReplyDeleteThe part that's weird is that she only has one black eye. If you have nose surgery or something that causes black eyes, it would usually be on both sides. Who has plastic surgery on only one side of their face unless it's reconstructive? I have no idea what this is, but it could be reconstructive surgery after getting abused if he did any damage, hence the x's. Just a thought.
ReplyDeletethe man is dead....all this needs to stop.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had read a while back that she had to have plastic surgery due to the injuries she sustained from the abuse.
ReplyDeleteBTW-she did claim abuse in her divorce filings.
I also read elsewhere, that due to the damage caused, she had to have Lasik surgery. Umm, isn't Lasik vision-correction surgery? Originally I had read that she had damage to her orbital bone that required surgery - that is not done with laser.
ReplyDeleteI have an eye condition and have had laser surgery a few times to correct the problem - first time out, I asked the doctor if he could correct my vision while he was at it; he laughed and said it wasn't that kind of laser.
And yeah, those markings definitely look like ones a plastic surgeon would make.
When the story about the abuse first came out, it was "said" that the abuse was so severe that she had to have surgery afterward. That it broke her eye socket and her cheekbone.
ReplyDelete"Taylor Armstrong secretly revealed to cast members she was beaten so badly by Russell Armstrong she had to undergo surgery"

Not saying I believe her - but this is consistent with what was originally said.
You can see a hosptial robe on her left side and on her right you can see those white hospital blankets they give you.
ReplyDeleteDon't watch RH, and don't know really what's going on with this, but thought I'd point out that it looks like she is definetly in a hospital bed there.
It's shameful how easy it is to accuse & convict a dead man.
ReplyDeleteI agree Misch. Russell himself had admitted to abusing Taylor but these pictures & stories just feel like exploitation after his death. I wouldn't put it past Taylor to use pictures of injuries from something else to keep the attention on herself, especially when writing a book on the subject.
ReplyDeleteIt's awful the way they are stringing out this story for ratings, but this is what they had to say about her eye last night
ReplyDelete"The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star had undergone Lasik eye surgery just days before on July 5, and the beating that landed her in the hospital was so bad she needed surgery to repair her corneal flap, an unnamed source told ET.

Fame whore.
ReplyDeleteagree, chopchop. I can't believe how many posts Enty's done of this, full of speculation.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was weird when I saw those markings on her forehead on ET last night.
ReplyDeleteOne thing for sure those lips of hers are not real.
Just shows you for someone that was requesting privacy when her ex-to-be was found dead she is sure getting a lot of publicity on him.
Another thing is weren't they getting divorced because he was gay??
I want to say plastic surgery cause of the X's, but why would she only have one eye done? If she's having it done one at a time, then she should have another black eye on the other side eventually.
ReplyDeleteThe glob of swollen skin on the side of one eye definately shows trauma. I believe her, and I wonder if she knew his prior history of abusing women.
ReplyDeleteWow, more than a few here are skeptical beings, which is good on the one hand but to have it go hand in hand with their hate of this woman is so obviously biased with more hate and more negativity, sad.
Its surgery. You can tell by the ripples in the face along the jaw line and ear along with the target bruising.
ReplyDeleteThe body has a way of responding to abuse by bruising along the area in which it was hit. Say with a fist or wall. If her eye was hit by a man's fist, she would have a larger bruise along the eye. If side of her head was bounced off a wall, the whole side of her head would show that trauma with more than just an odd ripple effect. She is playing coy for attention and willing to sell the rep of her husband to do it. What is truly pathetic is that it is working.
Those "housewives" are just a group of sad, attention starved nobodies. If ratings actually decreased anytime they were on screen, Hollywood would drop them in a minute. Wish people would ignore their existence like I try to do but fail because sometimes the attention level reaches a point where avoiding the story means avoiding the internet.
If she was planning to have plastic surgery should should have elected to do something about that trout pout.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry if Russell knocked her around and that he committed suicide but Taylor is such a shallow fame whore that I kind of doubt anything she says. And anyone who spends $50K (FIFTY K!!) on a four year old's birthday party to impress her own friends isn't wrapped real tight.
How pathetically cunty on taylor's part to let this go on.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Sis-
ReplyDeleteI too think it's trauma and I also think Russell being dead or not, if he hurt this woman I dont give an eff. That old tradition of not speaking ill of the dead is ridicilous and out-dated. Nowadays I would say modern thought is more along the lines of the truth shall set you free, or something.
Truth of what happened here trumps a tv show on bravo, a publicity stint, and definitly a dead man.
What, he died and all of a sudden we have to treat him like ghandi? uhhh, right when he killed himself he was in the middle of a divorce and apparently abuse thing with Taylor. I dont thin dropping that will do any good to helping her heal nor does it do any good for victims of abuse in the long run.
btw- did any of you pro-surgery people think that maybe her eye was a few days old and healing and thats when she went in for the corrective surgery?
ReplyDeleteYeah but what did he do to her lips to make them look like that??? Damn. That was some abuse!
ReplyDeleteOr was that part of the plastic surgery?
F it. She's nuts and so was he.
Since Russell admitted to abusing her...I'm not sure why anyone would be trying to refute that?
