Taylor Armstrong sat down with Entertainment Tonight’s Nancy O’Dell to give her first interview following her husband Russell’s suicide.

In a clip of the explosive tell-all, exclusively obtained by Breaking Celebrity News, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star details the shocking abuse she claims she suffered at Russell’s hands.

"The first time he ever really harmed me physically, I was pregnant with Kennedy and he grabbed me by the throat and held me against a wall. ... I saw his ability to go from zero to 60 that quickly," Taylor says.

"You live your life constantly on egg shells waiting for the other shoe to drop. You don't know if you're gonna talk to your girlfriend too long at dinner and that's going to cause someone to fly into a rage.

"I don't think he saw himself as an abuser until the last time that he hurt me when I finally ended our relationship."

Taylor also talks about the night Russell allegedly punched her in the eye, resulting in the widely released photos that were broadcast around the world.
