Taylor Armstrong's interview with Entertainment Tonight, her first since estranged husband Russell's August suicide, reportedly cost a pretty penny.
Taylor made $125,000 for the sit-down, says The New York Post.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star sold photos of herself in a hospital with eye injuries to the outlet, and gave an interview (which airs Tuesday.)
Russell's family has criticized Taylor for the interview, but her Housewives co-stars are defending her.
They argue that Russell, who had declared bankruptcy in the past and was being sued for millions at the time of his death, left Taylor in a "financial mess."

Dr. Conrad Murray's manslaughter trial is just one week away, and in the interim, shocking allegations about Michael Jackson are coming to light.
A source close to the Murray's defense team is claiming that the King of Pop was so addicted to the sedative Propofol -- even calling it "milk" -- that he drank it just moments before he died, according to the U.K.'s Daily Mirror.
Sunday night a source close to the trial of Jackson's personal doctor said:
“Conrad Murray’s team can’t understand how Propofol got into the stomach. It does not make sense unless Michael drank it. To them that will show the world how much of an addict he was. Michael was acting crazy in his last few hours, demanding drugs to help him sleep. He was always playing with the bottles, who knows what he did.â€
They are also claiming that Michael used the drug for over twenty years and not only knew how to inject himself but also drank it out of tiny drug bottles despite the fact that it would have burned his throat.
MJ died of a Propoful overdose on June 25, 2009, at age 50. The sedative was combined with other drugs, but .13 mg of it was found in his stomach at the time of his death. If convicted, Murray will face four years in jail.

Anderson Cooper interviewed his mom Gloria Vanderbilt for his new talk show. Vanderbilt opened up about her son Carter's 1988 suicide.
The legendary fashion designer, 87, recalls the moment her then-23-year-old son Carter was hanging off the ledge of the family's 14th floor penthouse apartment in New York. She tells Anderson:
"When he went … I thought he was going to come back, but he didn't. He let go, and there was a moment when I thought I was going to jump over after him. I thought of you and it stopped me from [jumping]."
Vanderbilt, who wrote the book A Mother's Story back in 1997 about the tragedy, added, "You never get over it, but you learn to live with it."
