So, basically no one has any respect for the dead, huh? Not even the guy’s own family. Sick.
Another person in Russell Armstrong’s life has come forward to talk about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and offer their insight on why he might’ve taken his own life. Russell’s sister Laurie has come forward to speak of his – and her – painful childhood, in which Russell actually shot Laurie with a loaded gun. She elaborated further, speaking of his anger problems:
“My brother had anger issues but he was trying to really overcome his resentments. When I was five-years-old and he was six-years-old he accidentally shot me in the leg with my dad’s loaded gun! He lived with this guilt all of his life and he blamed himself. I was in the hospital for one year, the doctors told me I would never walk again. But I did, I think I started walking again when I was six-years-old. It’s kind of a blur. He was angry at my dad for along time because he should never have left a loaded gun in the house.”
And this story needed to be rehashed because…?
We can’t really understand why all of these people keep talking to the media and further painting an awful picture of this man when he isn’t alive to defend himself. You would think at least his family would give him enough dignity to have his past mistakes – and this story was definitely one about him making a mistake, not his rage – kept privately within his immediate circle.
It doesn’t look like the poor guy had that many people to turn to for help that wouldn’t sell him out for his own benefit. Perhaps he would’ve had a better chance of working out his issues had he felt like there was someone in his life who would look out for him. Sad.
