Taylor Armstrong shocked everyone when she revealed that her estranged husband Russell had committed suicide. Now, she’s surprising people again.
Taylor Armstrong was one of the original housewives when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills began. While she wasn’t rich like Lisa Vanderpump, her then-husband Russell Armstrong liked to think that he was a successful businessman. They could afford a home in Beverly Hills and Taylor had massive birthday parties for her daughter Kennedy that costs thousands of dollars. However, everything came crashing down during the show’s second season. Here, Taylor started to open up about her husband’s violent tendencies, hinting that she was a victim of abuse. She later wrote a book about her abuse.
Just days before the second season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was to begin, Taylor Armstrong’s estranged husband committed suicide by hanging. This was discussed heavily during the following reunion special, but some people questioned if Taylor knew he was going to commit suicide. Some people also questioned whether it was murder. She left the show after she fell in love with her lawyer, and the two got married. But it sounds like some details are surfacing about Taylor now.
As it turns out, it sounds like some Twitter accounts are guessing that her name is actually something else. Shana Lynette Hughes is supposedly her legal name and she changed it to Taylor Armstrong. Armstrong is her last name from Russell.

It’s actually possible that her last name is different now that she’s married again. Since she hasn’t been on the show in a full-time capacity for years, it’s uncertain what is going on in her life these days. While she moved away from Beverly Hills for a while, there were rumors that she was moving back.
What do you think of Taylor Armstrong having a different legal name?
