The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star sat down with ET for an interview that will air Sept. 20. She shared photos of herself with black eye with the news outlet, and confirms that the injury was from abuse by Russell.

The show's investigation of Russell's history reveals that Russell's first wife filed a restraining order against him in 1997, saying that he slapped her while she was pregnant, kicked her and spit on her. Russell plead guilty to battery that year.

Taylor filed for divorce in July, saying at the time that her marriage was abusive. At the time, Russell admitted to pushing Taylor.
