The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong was almost hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, and in true reality TV star fashion, it was all caught on tape, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.

Highlights for the upcoming season of the hit show feature Taylor appearing highly intoxicated, dressed in a toweling robe in a hotel bathroom. The ‘Housewives’ were out of town shooting, and a source says that Taylor was so drunk, she almost had to seek medical attention.

"Taylor was so upset about the state of her then marriage that she got very, very intoxicated,” the insider told Breaking Celebrity News. “This wasn't normal behavior at all for her. She was so drunk that she probably should have gone to the hospital. She is so tiny, and hadn't eaten a lot that day, which only made the situation worse.

“Taylor felt that she didn't need medical attention though and refused to go to the hospital.”

The season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills aired on Monday night, shattering last season's viewing figures and nearly doubling the numbers.

The tragic suicide of Taylor's estranged husband, Russell Armstrong, was addressed by the cast, without Taylor, during a special segment at the start of the show’s season 2 premiere.
