LynnNChicago Taylor Armstrong  - The Truth

THANKS TO MY FLORIDA GALS… DIVA FOR THE DOC RETRIEVAL AND RESEARCH AND TO  V5 FOR THE TOM FORD ANALYSIS  Lynn~

July 23, 2003: Jennifer L. Wahlgren of 1590 southwest 4th Circle, Boca Raton, FL, petitions the court of Broward County for an adult name change to JenniFUR Taylor Diamond. (See: “Wahlgren Name Change”)

October 7, 2004: Shana Lynette Taylor of 1590 Southwest Circle, Boca Raton, FL, petitions the court of Palm Beach County for an adult name change to Taylor Ford. (See: “Taylor Petition”)

December 16, 2004: PB County Judge dismisses Taylor’s case for nonpayment. (See: “Taylor Dismissal”)

January 6, 2005: Shana states, per attached letter (See: “Taylor Judge”) for name change request was a desire to “put behind a very painful family relationship” so she chooses to retain the surname of Taylor as her first name?

April 5, 2005: Final Judgment, which asserts she’s never been married. (See: “Taylor Final”)

January 20, 2011: “Watch What Happens Live:” “Taylor was my last name.  That’s what I went by with all my friends… S. Taylor was on all my business cards.”  But not on her email, for her stationary business.  And does Baby Universe really give their employees business cards? (See: “Taylor Petition” and “Taylor Judge”)

September 22, 2011: Dr. Phil’s “One-on-One with Taylor Armstrong” per Realitytea.com 9.23.11 (video not available) “I’m a big fan of Tom Ford and he’s a designer.  Tom Ford, Taylor Ford, it’s similar so I just decided to legally change it.”

Tom Ford presented final collections for Gucci and YSL in 2004. In 2005, he launched the Tom Ford brand with sunglasses and perfume. In 2007, he launched a bespoke menswear collection.  In 2011, he launched a women’s line available only at his stores. His ready-available plastic-framed sunglasses (a style Taylor seems to prefer) have a distinctive bridge, horizontal curve, edge detail, and mix of materials. We have yet to find an image of Taylor wearing his sunglasses, or anything from his clothing line, which is extremely limited and difficult to obtain.

What does Tom Ford have to do with a “painful family relationship?”

 

 

 

Taylor_Petition[1]

Jennifer Wahlgren was Taylor’s best friend in FL.  They lived together, both addresses are the same.  She is now Jennifur Diamond in California, and is still taylor’s best friend.

From Diva:  (re:  Wahlgren)  She also was the big blonde that was with Taylor in Chicago for Ciroc new year thing…they SHARED the same address in FLORIDA…they BOTH changed their names..and then went to California together.

Diane Diamond wrote an extensive in-depth article on Taylor and Russell Armstrong:

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office pronounced 47-year-old Russell Armstrong’s death a suicide by hanging last month. It appeared to be a sad, cinematic ending for a man who had been shortsighted enough to allow his wife to lay bare their depressing marital difficulties on a reality-TV show, Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Russell’s tragic death was widely viewed as that of someone who couldn’t come to grips with the very public airing of his unraveling life and his pending divorce from a wife who had recently told People magazine that he had battered her.

But, as anyone in Hollywood will tell you, things projected on a screen are rarely true to life.

On a Season 1 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Taylor Armstrong had bragged, “My husband is a venture capitalist and he’s richer than Texas.” Yet in reality her husband had just struggled through a years-long bankruptcy. Viewers came to see that Taylor and Russell made a handsome couple, but he was a detached and emotionless partner—a man who was all about business, all the time. As the first season played out through last fall and winter, Russell was seen as the cold jerk, oblivious to his wife’s needs.

Devotees of the series were riveted by the Armstrongs’ lavish lifestyle, their lovely home in Bel-Air, their adorable daughter, Kennedy, and the extravagant way they seemed to breeze through life. One of the entire cast’s most memorable and decadent scenes showcased little Kennedy’s $60,000 4th birthday party. Taylor foreshadowed the strains in her marriage when she said to the camera, this “is the age I think a little girl should get her first special piece of jewelry…it’s time to get her some diamonds.” And then Taylor sarcastically deadpanned, “Russell is going to be thrilled.”

Still, in public, the smiling couple seemed like they were trying to stay together, and the TV show appeared to be a launching pad for Taylor, as lucrative endorsements came her way.

But past business associates and current and former friends of Russell and Taylor Ford Armstrong paint a very different picture from the one seen on television—and a much more complicated portrait of their finances than previously known.

Much more, you can read the entire article here:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/09/15/russell-taylor-armstrong-s-business-associates-friends-on-financial-legal-troubles.html

Andy Cohen asked Taylor about this article on Watch What Happens Live but Taylor denied having read it.  I call BS on that one, Andy asked Taylor about Russell’s sister and Taylor told viewers that she was thousands of miles away during Taylor and Russell’s marriage so how could she know what went on?  How does Taylor know what Russell’s sister said if she never read the article?

Here is another really interesting article, very long but has great information:

Thanks again to my Florida girls, Diva and V5 amazing job on the research!  xo  Lynn~

    Thank you for, I’m sure thousand of hours of research, to start to unravel the strange life of Taylor Armstrong.
    I have no idea where her path will lead, I don’t know if she knows either…….

    • theDesignDiva says:

      majnon..thank you… it was lots of work but so worth it to expose her lying ass..spread the word……..

      • majnon says:

        Diva, I have to ask, do you not believe that she was ever hit by Russell?

      • beckygrey says:

        TheDesigningDiva
        I’m interested in what you do for a living and what gains do you have in all of this research? I am truly curious, are you a journalist or are you trying to break into this field? It just seems like unless there is some gain (not necessarily monetary, but some consideration) it seems obsessive. Just wondering, just like in source of information, the mutation behind it.

  2. majnon says:

    Darn, I still had to post it twice to show up

  3. majnon says:

    Yeah, the second one worked just fine. lol

  4. Sydney says:

    http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/345-S-Reeves-Dr-UNIT-202-Beverly-Hills-CA-90212/2123299255_zpid/

    Interesting that the addy she gave for DESIGNS BY TAYLOR is actually just a run of th mill Bev Hills condo. Also, her cell#(310) is an L.A. area code yet she gives th judge her home addy as being in Florida. Can we say scam artist!?

  5. Sydney says:

    KUDOS ! Great research !

  6. Sydney says:

    Just a question……

    Are we believing that the first doc for a JENNIFER WAHLGREN is Taylor !? The mother’s name is totally different. Was that just a name search for women named TAYLOR who petitioned for a name change?

  7. Jenna says:

    What? So these two gals lived in Florida at the same address and BOTH changed their names while living together.
    Taylor Armstrong started out as:
    Shana Lynnette Hughes then changed to
    Shana Lynnette Taylor then she tried to change for the THIRD time to
    Taylor Ford, but denied.
    And BOTH Taylor and Jennifer mothers have the same middle name.
    Taylor’s mother middle name is listed as Jean.
    Jennifer’s mother’s middle name is listed as Jeanne.
    And her friend Jennifer changed her middle name to Taylor.
    Do I have this right? What a hot mess!

  8. Jenna says:

    Sorry for all the horrid grammatical errors above. Ugh! Was Taylor convicted of a felony in Florida?

    • Viewer 5 says:

      Hi Jenna,

      Taylor was NOT convicted of a felony, but her recent statement that Russell had her fingerprinted (?) when they met, was probably really the Florida Department of Law Enforcement asking for her fingerprints. ;) I *think*- by the notation on FDLE doc – fingerprints are not reproducible via photocopy.

      The timeline for Shana changing her name to Taylor coincides with when she met Russell. One might conclude that she didn’t tell him her name was Shana, hastened to legally change it, and then told him afterwards.

      Her name change didn’t go through until early 2005 (due to lack of payment and having to reapply) and was then handled by an attorney. Victory for Shana.

  9. Reality TV Lover says:

    Think a name is left out, I know hard to believe, lol. On stoopid housewives site there is also reference to a married name Sipes even though I have never heard Taylor admit to being married before. Also does anyone know who was the Dad who beat her Mom when she was 2. Was it Hughes or Taylor? If Taylor then why change her name to his after she was an adult if memories were so horrid. I thought I read somewhere her Mom divorced her Dad when she was little, if that was true than she didn’t grow up with abuse. So hard to figure out because she lies all the time. Compare her interviews with Dr. Phil and with Access Hollywood about the black eye, again two different versions of the facts and I understand the version in her book is different and Randy Edwards has posted another version from Russ. My head is spinning from all the lies this witch has told. She should be referred to Child Protective Services so that Kennedy can be removed from this toxic environment of a Mother who slams her dead father day and night, it can’t be helpful. Plus all the drinking and carousing with her pals JenniFur. Oh and let’s not forget her inappropriate hanging with Dr. No Socks Sophy.

    • Pghemtchick says:

      From what I understand, Hughes beat her mom and her mom left him when Taylor was 2. She then hooked up with Taylor and it took Taylor 20 some years to change her name to Taylor.

    • Viewer 5 says:

      Hi RtvLover,

      When you bring up Taylor’s name in Intellius (or whatever) a man with the last name Sipes comes up. You’d have to go to that state and that courthouse to ascertain what relation he is to Taylor. (A step-brother?) Diva did research and couldn’t find where the Sipes fellow was ever married, or left Oklahoma. We came to the conclusion, (could be wrong) per her application with FDLE that states she’s never been married, that she hadn’t. So… either she married and it was scrubbed (and she lied to FDLE) or she was never married.

      Diva found a record stating that Taylor’s mother and father (Hughes) divorced before she was one years old. So the memory of footy pajamas and her father beating her mother must have been a step-father (I don’t think there’s any record of her mother remarrying) or her mother’s boyfriend. Unless her parents divorced and her father (Hughes) still came to live with them occasionally. It’s possible. But given Taylor… not entirely probable.

      Shana Hughes changed her last name to “Taylor” in 1993 to reflect that of her step-father, but her mother didn’t marry Mr. Taylor until 1996. A little weird. She thanks Mr. Taylor for her ‘third and final’ name on the acknowledgement page in her book.

      Diane Dimond, stoopid, and diva (scattered about Lynn’s Shana page) are very, very clear in debunking Taylor’s inconsistent tales about the abuse. I haven’t read Randy’s page – but… poor guy. Seriously.

      I don’t know what’s up with no-socks. Or why he never reported anything. The mind reels…

      • Manny says:

        If you Zillow the first address she claims to have lived at from 1972 to 1989, 3008 W El Paso, Broken Arrow OK, you will see an attractive middle class 3 bedroom contemporary home. Built in 1980! She can’t tell the truth to save her life.

      • Bluebird says:

        Taylor was married to a guy named Jeremy Sipes according to the bloggers that have provided the info. She said she was never married before Russell. And yet another blatant lie.

        • theDesignDiva says:

          So bluebird.. are you saying she was married ?? because I can tell you she was NOT married LEGALLY to Mr Sipes…….

          I have been researching TIT since the beginning of last Sept…. I have provided court docs that are posted here… others I have not posted….. have you read the docs ???

      • Anna says:

        I have one more thing to add. It also says that Shana filed for her name change at the Delaware County courthouse in Oklahoma. I live nearby, and neither Edmond or Broken Arrow are in Delaware County. Shana would have had to be living in Delaware County at the time of her name change to file in in their district court.

        So, when did Shana live in Delaware County? And where? And how did that crucial piece of information get overlooked?

    • beckygrey says:

      Really? I think people have gone too far here when they suggest that someone should petition Child Protective Services because of Taylor’s legal and grifting issues.
      I just everyone who is sitting behind their computer advocating this concept to think about someone you know that has a child/or children who’s parenting skills are subpar. Someone that is neglectful in there duties as a parent or someone that doesn’t believe that the needs of their children should come first.
      If you know anyone like that or are truthful to admit that it is you, what have you done on behalf of that child they have charge over?
      So let’s get off of our high horse and be real here! (pun totally intended) Gossip can be exciting and boredom breaker (it’s even productive in socializing), but to take it to the mean spirited level is unacceptable.
      Charity begins at home….direct all of these “Kennedy” concerns to children in your community who also need your protection! Volunteer to be a foster parent.

  10. Pghemtchick says:

    *stands up on the one good foot balancing to clap* Bravo Diva and Viewer5! Thank you for piecing this part (and 99% of the other part together for us)!! I find it curiously odd that Taylor wanted to take up the name Ford just 3 days after she became involved with Designs by Taylor. Was this the beginning of the Ford (designer) scam. I can see it now. “Hello, Desisgns by Taylor, this is Taylor Ford (pause) Why yes, we are related aren’t his designs wonderful. The talent runs in the family” ugh. She makes me sick.

    • Viewer 5 says:

      Some of the female Ford (heiresses) used to spend time in Palm Beach, but I don’t think their daughters went by their mother’s maiden names. Perhpas Shana read about them while living in Florida, and just psychologically attached her name to them. Cute!

      Overall, Taylor seems to be a person who lies in the present tense, with no consideration as to how the lie will fit down the road. If she were truly smart, she would have taken a platform of verbal and mental abuse from regarding her husband and never exaggerated claims of physical abuse.

      She could have gotten away with it. Verbal and mental abuse are not as easy to prove, but are still very, very serious problems. But nooooo… she had to exaggerate her suffering to her castmates for sympathy and insta-friendship, then Bravo, and finally sell photos to ET and interview with Dr. Phil about physical abuse we all suspect she had little experience with.

      I submit Gallery Books and Bravo both knew they were in trouble the second she released those lasik/droopy eye surgery photos.

      I also submit that Taylor doesn’t understand all the “hate” towards her. Not at all. She believes her lies and fibs, and can’t figure out why everyone else doesn’t buy into it as much as she does.

      This is not going to end well for her. It really isn’t. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that trauma to the head (ie: Russell ‘slamming her head against the car window’) is recordable via MRI and brain scan with those cute little electrodes. I could be wrong. But she’ll have to provide medical evidence of trauma to MMR and whomever else wants to sue her to prove duress. It’s not going to end well for her; not at all.

    • Late2theParty says:

      I am so late finding this wondered why no one is looking at this woman. I think the Taylor name change is for this reason.
      The Business ‘Designs by Taylor’ was indeed her mothers or maybe a family business of her mothers and step fathers. By changing her name to Taylor she can go about and claim ownership and the CEO status as claimed in the court documents for the name change. She makes these claims and still checks the box that says ‘No Profession’.
      I also think she says on the reunion show the second one when she is attacking Brandi something like just go ask the 50 people who are sueing me for being involved or believing Russells lies for the past 20 years. That is what it sounded like to me. She was in TX in 96 and97 and I have read in other places that Russell was in FL sometimes. I wonder just how long Taylor did chase with this guy? Did they scam for years, and could she of chased him all that time? Did she perhaps get pregnant to seal the deal and get Russell to marry her?
      Love your info and site, thanks for all the work and information, I just have so many questions about this woman, she is really a piece of work and I really wish someone could write a real factual book about her. Bet that would be a best seller as she is so full of it. I find it hard to find any factual things about her and often find sites where pictures etc. have just been taken down. Thanks.

      • MelTheHound says:

        You will probably find that sites where the pictures etc have been taken down are usually Pro- Lips McGee (I refuse to say her real names).

  11. RealMinkey says:

    Wonderful job, Diva and V5!

    My, what a tangled web the black widow has weaved!

  12. leighmarker says:

    what does jennifur have to do with all this? I am soooo lost, I admit it.

    • Bluebird says:

      leighmarker, Jennifur and Taylor were friends together in Florida. Both had name changes that had “Taylor” in them. Jennifur has a past conviction for drug trafficking or something like that. (see absurdtosublime site for that info).
      They are also alegedly lesbian lovers. Many people believe that they were running scams and grifts together. Jennifur is the woman seen with Taylor in the pics of Taylor coming out of the restaurant crying. She is also seen in pics with Taylor on New Year’s Eve with Ciroc. She is also the Jennifur who was the friend that Russell had the ninja fight with her fiance that Taylor talks about. Seems like Taylor has friends just like her! How about Dana? Dana was also involved in scamming investors with her ex-fiance. (Dana’s court docs were also on absurd to sublime).
      Taylor’s shady past is coming back to bite her in the butt! LOL !

  13. Ellin says:

    Good morning ladies – I enjoy reading about your research on Taylor. I remember when RHOBH first came on and I researched Taylor and MMR. I remember a company web page (which i can no longer find), which stated a biography of Taylor as having been a former pharmaceutical rep. I can’t locate any of that now, but its worth looking into as one more of her lies.

    Regards!

    • theDesignDiva says:

      Ellin…Pfizer and Medtronic…no years given..and she does state in her docs that is where she worked…she had a Real Estate License here in Fla.from 2000-2004..I beleive she was a sales assoc.for a time share type thing..NOT 100% sure on that… and then if she met and married Russell in 2005..when did she have time to work for these companies…

    • Bluebird says:

      Ellin, I read that she worked as a sales rep for Pfizer pharmaceuticals and also for Medtronic.

      • Late2theParty says:

        I too read that she worked as a Pharmacutical Salesperson, I just don’t remember where, and do not remember the companies being named, but yes I did read that someplace, one of the things qualifying her for MMR or something. Wish I could remember where but yes I have read that.

  14. IDon'tBelieveInUnicorns says:

    Yes, I remember that too. Don’t recall where I read it either.

    • IDon'tBelieveInUnicorns says:

      This should be under Ellin’s post. Ugh… having to refresh before posting is a real pain in the arse. Even worse if I forget to copy before hand.

  15. IDon'tBelieveInUnicorns says:

    This is so confusing… she was born with the last name Hughes, no? So when did she change her last name to Taylor? If it held such bad connotations, why would she change it in the first place? And why oh why if it held bad memories would she use it as her FIRST name now? Yeah… it’s a painful reminder so I want to hear myself called that all the time instead of only when people use my full name. OMG she is more ridiculously nonsensical than Kelly. I didn’t think that was even possible.

  16. LavaLady says:

    I went to Taylor’s book signing in NJ last night. I arrived at 7:40 and left at 8:20. There was a line, but it was not too long. The book cost $25 plus tax. Taylor was wearing a black sleeveless dress, which, when she stood up, was too big on her. She is painfully thin. She had a lot of makeup on, and her hair was parted on the side and was doing that covering the right eye thing. The biggest surprise of the night was that Kennedy was at the signing. She was dress in all white, with cute white books and a sleeveless top. And a really cute headband. She drew a heart on everyone’s book and played with the toys in the store. She is adorable, and it was nice to see her acting like a typical 6 year old. As far as security, there was one police officer standing nearby, looking totally bored. It looked like Taylor had a young woman with her, possibly a nanny, and a young man who stood nearby all night as well. In addition, there were several bookstore employees helping out. Taylor’s voice sounds exactly the same as it does on TV. She was pleasant to everyone who came up, and took time for pictures and said goodbye, always using their name. I have several pictures on my phone, but have no idea how to get them on the computer. I will try to figure it out today.

    The owner of the bookstore mentioned several times how quiet the room was. I, also, did not feel any energy or excitement in the room. I think the subject matter of the book is the reason. When I went to Bethenny’s signing at this same place, there was a lot of chatter and discussion and it was very lighthearted. Taylor’s subject matter makes it difficult to laugh and chat. I tried to listen in on what people were saying. The woman in front of me was a big fan. I noticed a few times, customers spent a long while with Taylor, and she hugged a few of them, so maybe they were sharing similar stories. She told one person she forgot her coat; (it is cold here in NJ in the winter). She told another person to use @bravoAndy so I think they wanted to complain to Andy about something and she told them how. She also said she would be on WWHL several times. When I got up to her, she asked my name, signed my book, we took a picture and Kennedy drew a very fancy heart on my book.

    I think the signing, which started at 7, probably ended around 9. When I left there were only a handful of people left. In all, I saw maybe 100 people. I don’t know if that is a successful signing.

    All in all is was really a non event in my book. I am not a fan of Taylor, so I was not excited to be there, just really curious to see how many people showed up. Bethenny’s signing was huge compared to Taylor’s. Probably 5 times more people. I am a huge Bethenny fan, so I know that has affected my outlook on this.

    I doubt I will even read the book. I glanced at it a little while I was waiting and found a typo on the first page I read.

    • Viewer 5 says:

      Geez. Thanks for the reporting.
      I read about the heart-drawing on Twitter; egad. Pretty sad. :(

      Very astute that you point out your thoughts on the “subject matter” being the reason for the lack of energy in the crowd. Stands to reason Taylor would not give a reading of her book; just sign it. The gal standing off to the side was probably someone from Gallery; or a book publicist, or something. Egad. Sounds like a sad event.

    Wow, talk about a narcissist, and I don’t see Russell anywhere around, But I guess Taylor will just blame editing!

    • critter says:

      Russell was there, he gave K the puppy that T said ruined her gift of jewelry…

    • RabbleRouser says:

      What a crappy party for a 4 year old. The kid must have been bored to tears. Who hires fricking Nymphs for a child’s party for entertainment? I know Taylor has those big clown lips but unless she also knows how to make balloon animals, it’s not going to cut it.

      I though Portia’s party was much better; even though it too probably costs WAY more than most people would be willing to spend (even if they had the money) at least the spirit of the party was appealing to children.

  22. Smiley says:

    So this Jennifur Diamond is the “friend” who is rumoured to be more than a friend to Taylor? I noticed she was engaged to a guy named Mark. Do you guys think this Jennifur is the “friend” who Taylor claimed she was visiting when Russell, who was supposedly hiding in the bushes, beat up Jennifur’s fiance, causing $10,000 worth of dental work, and tried to drown Taylor in the pool?

    • Viewer 5 says:

      Yes. His name is Mark Alsentzer. If you google “Jennifur Diamond Mark” you’ll see lots of info; including the house Jennifur lived in during the faux 2009 pool incident.

      Diva checked their neighborhood watch records (for Jennifur’s community) and the L.A. police reports (I don’t know how she does that, but she can find ANYthing) and there were no reports filed. Taylor’s mistake (among many) was naming the date, which was something like… May 22, 2009. Also, she claimed a similar story, but changed it into Russell knocking a “business associate’s” teeth out at her and Russell’s home, at an earlier date.

      There is no evidence that Mark Alsentzer was ever in business with Russell, that Diva could find. And usually, those things are pretty easy to find.

  23. Catseye says:

    How ODD that Taylor’s “best friend” of at least 9 yrs, JenniFUR wasn’t chosen to be Kennedy’s Godmother. That’s yet another reason to be suspicious of her motives.

    • RabbleRouser says:

      IMO, the whole “Adrienne” is Kennedy’s Godmother LIE was just a ruse to make it look like her and Russell were well connected.

      But I know in the Catholic faith, a non Christian can not be a godparent, technically a non catholic can not be a “Godparent” either but serve as a “Christian witness”. If JenniFUR is neither Catholic or Christian, she would not qualify but again, the whole thing is a lie anyway.

      Not to mention, assuming Kennedy is baptized it would have happened in infancy.

      • Late2theParty says:

        I kind of think Taylor ended the first season and went into the second one wanting what she really did not have. A marriage like Kyle’s and money like the richest of the housewives.
        She approached Adrienne to be God Mother, because it is a very serious commitment. If Adrienne was, then she would have to think about and possibly do something about Kennedy being in a situation like Taylor represented. So I think Taylor hoped to make this connection and get money to set herself up.
        Think Russell was kind of in on it too as a scam, only thing was Taylor was scamming him. She told way big lies about the beatings and did not want him to find out.
        Another thing she did was go to Cammile when her divorce was final knowing Cammile would of come into lots of money, I think she was hoping Cammile might offer her some to get set up someplace.
        Lisa she just did not like, and when she had her melt down at the tea party and no one came to her rescue, she was very happy to change horses right there, go after Camille legally and try to use Lisa and play the guilt card.
        Only thing is her whole plan sort of comes apart at this time. Everyone wants to call Brandi an airhead, but think she had it pretty figured out. Oh well just my thoughts, as I said this woman is really a piece of work, she will use Russells death for all she can get out of it, feel bad for his family and other children.

    If these people are such good friends of Taylor’s isn’t it likely they would back up her story? I just can’t imagine Taylor giving out that much info about them otherwise. What Taylor probably didn’t account for is Detective Diva and her excellent sleuthing abilities. Taylor’s probably pretty confident that she’s “winning” and is patting herself on the back for conning such heavies as Dr. Drew, Dr. Phil and seemingly every member of the media she has encountered to this point, and there have been many.

    I’d love for some of those DV victims she counseled to come forward just to let us know how fooled she had them and how they feel about it… but then again I’m sure they wouldn’t want to “out” themselves. Taylor’s willingness to tell all isn’t exactly the MO of a typical DV victim… shocking. For all Taylor has been through it’s amazing how quickly she pulled herself together… another oddity for typical victims… shocking again. What’s truly shocking and something I just for the life of me cannot understand is how anyone is buying what she’s selling… including her disgusting book. I realize there’s not a whole lot of competition in the non-fiction genre but I truly hope she drops off the NY Times best sellers list and the stores that bought up all the copies that put her there to begin with return them because they’re not selling. Then I hope that book bites her in the butt because everyone suing her will have all of her lies documented and they’ll have all they need to prove she’s a big fat scamming jail-worthy liar.

    I’ve tried to find out what & why was Taylor doing in Germantown TN. She did not mention it in the book either. She was 29 at that time. It ‘s in the list of previous addresses on the document that she filed to change her name to Taylor Ford. Also the address that she has from 1972 to 1989 is not correct, she states in the book that they moved when she was around 12yr old to TN where her Mom had a job in the
    entertainment business. They returned a year later. I wonder what Taylor means by entertainment business ? She tells so many half truth. It sounds like a petty thing but for Taylor it may not be. She is a liar and she tell half truth to keep the scam going.

      Hey there, Kathy,
      “Marla Pugh” is Taylor’s mother’s maiden name. There are a LOT of Pughs in Germantown, TN, but to research all of them is almost impossible. Or maybe we’re too lazy. :D Really, there are billions of them there. Ew. So, in terms of “entertainment business, Germantown is kinda close to Memphis?

  26. AZGirl says:

    Good job Diva and V5! Thank you Lava Lady for the book signing info. I am still amazed how many are believing Taylor’s crap and buying her book. Bravo really needs to step up and not bring Taylor back next season. She is nuts

    Vicki loves her daughter and i think it is unfair for people to judge how she is handling her situation. Everyone is different and handles stress in different ways. Some people choose to not talk about or choose to immerse themselves with things to distract them. I feel that Vicki uses work as a way to handle life situations….she almost uses the office as a refuge from her problems. From the very first season i can tell how overprotective Vicki was of her children. From the way they both turned out, she had ot have done something right. I am not a huge fan of Vicki, but i felt the need to defend her regarding this cancer scare. She is a mother before she is a reality star. I have no doubt that she was scared, helpless, and emotional about her little girl medical issues.

    I know I’m late to comment, but here goes. I think Cray Tay and Russell were grifters and now Cray Tay wants all of us to believe she didn’t know anything about it or she was coerced into it by an abusive husband. I think that’s why she was in such a hurry to get that book out. It’ll be the basis for her defense in court even though the timeline for the allegations of abuse are way off and not substantiated.

  29. Sue says:

    Hey Diva, we here hope that you are not giving up exposing Taylor for the bum she is…reason being, is that it looks like many are letting up on the heat that should be given to Taylor and all her lies, but either way we here have all agreed not only to boycott RHOBH if Taylips returns, but all Bravo shows…we figured that if we are that interested about certain shows we will just wait to read the recaps….TAYLOR MUST GO!!!!!!

  30. Nice post. I was checking constantly this weblog and I’m impressed! Very useful info specifically the ultimate part :) I deal with such info much. I was looking for this particular information for a very lengthy time. Thank you and best of luck.

    Some one else posted the Amy Philips video on their site yesterday and I just found the most awesome picture that explains Traylor’s book that was also on the site. http://photoshoppedpics.wordpress.com/2012/03/09/preview-traylor-trash-just-released-her-book/

    I know this may be yet again another twist to Shana’s history.. but in 93′-94′ I visited my best friend attending UNLV at the time and he was dating, “Shana Taylor” for about 1 year.. she used to talk all about her cheerleading in OK etc.. etc..

    my wife watches the show periodically and I did not make the connection until now.. crazy…

    • IDon'tBelieveInUnicorns says:

      So sorry for your friend… although I’m happy for him that he didn’t date her longer than he did. Anyway, did she seem like she had low self-esteem? Just curious.

  33. Late2theParty says:

    Thanks Diva for all the facts and hard work, sorry I found this site so late. Also thanks to all the posters, enjoyed the reading.
    I really think this woman is such a scam/scum that if someone could sort it all out they could write a very sucessful book.
    So many lies, she has not told a truth in years, maybe that is one of the things that makes finding truth so hard is chasing the lies. The truth is out there though hope you find it and again Thank You

    There is a new article on reality tea featuring a “close insider” on NJ. The article praises Jax and totes how amazing and “real” jax is and how fake and nasty TEresa is……wonder who the “insider” is? (eyeroll).

    Then Jax just tweeted a link to her disgusting blog she wrote about Teresa last season and asks viewers to read over certain pages of her novel to highlight her digs and insults of TEresa….in preparation for tonights show.

    I will say it again….Jacquline Laurita is the must disgusting HW on the Jersey cast ….IMHO. She is obssesive, vindicative, and continues to love inserting herself in the middle of every drama. She claims that she is tired of Tre’s drama blah blah…..yet she takes every single oppertunity to talk about the situation any chance she gets…on twitter, facebook, blogs etc. To the point….she is even telling viewers backstories regarding the gorga/guidice saga. That is the ONLY thing Jax seems to talk about. For someone who is over the drama and wants to live her life…she sure has a funny way of showing it.

  36. Its such as you read my mind! You appear to grasp a lot about this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I think that you simply could do with some p.c. to drive the message house a bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

  37. Superb overcome! I need to apprentice at the same time just like you amend your site, the way can my partner and i subscribe for your site web page? The actual profile forced me to be any satisfactory bargain. My partner and i had been slightly acquainted on this your transmitted provided vivid clear plan
