Danielle Staub Reveals Her Own Suicidal Thoughts Following Russell Armstrong's Death

Leave it to this one to take someone else’s heartbreak and make it all about her. Deplorable.

Former Housewives star Danielle Staub has come forward to talk about her own personal struggles and how she almost met the same, sad end as Taylor Armstrong’s husband, Russell Armstrong, who committed suicide on Monday. Danielle explained:

“I was very close to taking my own life — not just on one occasion — it’s been several times. And what always saved me was the thought of my children living with that for the rest of their lives. I didn’t want them to have that memory of me. I wanted them to remember me — even if I’m going through my struggles — alive … I don’t have words to describe how alone you feel. And everybody’s coming at you, and judging you, and they don’t even know you … There’s so much hate in this world. And I just hope that his children and Taylor, and his ex-wife as well, all know that my genuine heartfelt sympathy and empathy, especially empathy, is with them at this time and always.”

She’s masking her self-indulgence well, isn’t she?

Look, its not like she doesn’t bring up some good, key points. Being in the public eye probably played its part in Russell’s end. We just hate to think that this woman, as well as Russell’s ex-wife and some members of his family are using this tragedy for their own gain, their own attention. Taylor and Kennedy are suffering far enough; they don’t need to have every person even remotely close to them weaseling out of the woodwork to exploit the situation further.

Just saying.
