Taylor Armstrong Releases Medical Document to Prove Abuse

Taylor Armstrong isn't backing down from her story that she suffered physical abuse during her marriage to Russell Armstrong, specifically her claim that he once hit her so hard last year that she suffered a fractured eye and had to get plastic surgery to correct the injury. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, determined to prove to everyone that she's not lying, has just released a medical document that proves she had an eye injury that was due to a traumatic blow and not elective, cosmetic procedure.

"For those who continue to say I'm lying. Ur harming women who suffer n silence making them even more afraid 2 speak up & get help. So... I'm releasing my medical records on my FB page in a few minutes," she tweeted this morning. True to her word, she later posted a medical document from the Beverly Tower Wilshire Advanced Imaging Center. Dated June 22, 2011, the document states that "the right orbit demonstrates a fracture to the inferior orbital wall measuring 5 mm transverse dimension and 4 mm of depression. There is focal herniation of fat in this depression fracture the inferior rectus muscle slightly extends into the depression please correlate for impingement."

While this document may silence some people, her harshest critics will point out that this still doesn't prove that the injury was from Russell Armstrong's hands. What prompted Taylor Armstrong to release such a document so long after her initial claim? It may be the long article by The Daily Beast, released a few days ago, that pointed out all the inconsistencies of her story. She has since pulled the medical document down from her Facebook page, explaining that people's hateful comments will discourage other victims from getting help.

Throughout season 2 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the controversial housewife has been able to keep the support of housewives Kyle Richards and Adrienne Maloof while bringing Lisa Vanderpump, who was hesitant of her at first, to her side. Camille Grammer and Brandi Glanville are still skeptical. Will Taylor Armstrong be able to change the public's opinion of her in time? Maybe so. She's definitely trying really hard to.

Thoughts and well wishes go out to the family of Russell Armstrong and all those effected by this tragedy from http://housewived.blogspot.com/
