Posted on Thu Sep 15th, 2011 12:20pm PDT By X17 Staff
Russell Armstrong's family is reacting to news that Taylor Armstrong has given her first interview since her estranged husband's suicide in August.The interview, with ET, will air September 20.
In it, Taylor discusses photos she gave to the outlet -- photos of her with a black eye, allegedly the work of Russell.
Russell's sister, Laurie Kelsoe, said Taylor should leave the situation alone, calling her interview "completely inappropriate." She tells The New York Daily News:
- "It would be one thing if he [Russell] was here to hash this out in court. But my brother is dead. ... Let his three children mourn. Let his mom and dad have a breather. Stop trying to make money."
No word yet on what Taylor was paid for the interview, but her Real Housewives co-stars are defending Taylor's choice. They argue that Taylor, 40, was left in a financial mess by Russell -- who was being sued at the time of his death and had declared bankruptcy in the past. Taylor and Russell have a daughter -- Kennedy, 5.
