Despite growing concern from those close to her and increasingly erratic and destructive behavior, Taylor Armstrong continues to deny she is an alcoholic, bizarrely citing the fact that she is a great mother to her daughter Kennedy as evidence, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.
During a recent trip to Ojai, Calif., Taylor had a "catastrophic meltdown" which left her fellow Real Housewives fearing for her future if she doesn't seek treatment for her drinking. Multiple sources tell Breaking Celebrity News that Taylor's behavior, which was all caught on camera, was out-of-control and frightening to witnesses and was fueled by the amount of alcohol she drank during the trip.
"Taylor insists that she definitely doesn't have a drinking problem," a production source tells Breaking Celebrity News. "Taylor is steadfast that she doesn't abuse alcohol and that her focus is being the best mother possible to her daughter. She doesn't like the meddling that the other Housewives are causing in her life right now. She says the only reason that she drinks is to relax and unwind a bit at the end of the day, and that she never drinks before 6 p.m. and usually will only have a drink or two after Kennedy has gone to sleep."
