Taylor Armstrong has had a rollercoaster of a time in The Real Housewives franchise. First, she was an OG cast member on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alongside the likes of Lisa Vanderpump and Kim and Kyle Richards, during which Armstrong had to deal with the shocking death of her estranged husband Russell by suicide as well as the reality show's usual deluge of drama.
After a brief hiatus from the brand, she returned to TV screens in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2 in 2022 before making Bravo history a year later by being the first Housewife to switch shows in the franchise, joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County as a "Friend Of" for its 17th season.
