Agreed. And wasn't funny how they kept referring back to Lisa telling her "we aren't best friends", but taylortrash kept saying " wahhhhhhh you said WE WEREN'T FREINDS" .... OOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE the reunion is going to be aces.

Either way, the actual argument at Lisa's was ridiculous. And Taylor would not let it die. It was painful to watch.

I don't think it was a set up. Lisa should have talked to Taylor in private about the lack of an invite, and Taylor should have discussed Lisa's "friend" comment in private, these women discuss everything in groups and it turns into a horrible nightmare, I'm sure the producers push that. Taylor is acting irrationally, she seems to be such a mess, there is a huge difference between saying "I'm not your BEST friend" and saying "I'm not your friend," a rational person would see the difference, but Lisa was being totally petty though with her, "I rescind the offer now," that's childish, but I do understand her frustration because Taylor wouldn't let her explain.

I doubt that Taylor would have spoken to Lisa in private, and given her history of lying. I think Lisa was right to confront her in front of the girls so the story didn't become a twisted version of Taylor's since she can't seem to hear anything correctly or tell the truth.

We know the tea was not in response to Taylor not inviting her. Remember, Lisa called Kyle to ask her to tea that same day - before she even knew about the event.

Taylor doesn't want people talking behind her back, but when Lisa asked her point blank why she wasn't invited to the event, that was too stressful? Hypocrisy abounds.

I volunteered in a womans shelter in the past and I saw some violent women and I had a family member lie to get into a shelter once saying she had been abused. People are not always what they seem and tv just muddles the truth even more. Talking about taking Kim out back to go Oklahoma on her ass was a pretty clear aggressive violent statement and women who are abused usually don't physically threaten others.p So to assume we know it all when we were not there is just ignorant. She certainly was punched and violence is never ok. There is no excuse for what Russell did to her. As an adult with a child to protect and having been a child from a domestic abuse situation she was very aware of the damage being done to her child and repeating the cycle voluntarily. She donated and worked at a women's shelter herself. She is still a victim but can you tell me with ALL the money they had why did she choose to NOT go to therapy for her issues? Because she was too busy creating some fake past saying she was a FORD, and changing her name. I just don't feel sorry for her the way I did many other women. If he really did abuse former wives then she intentionally IGNORED those facts to marry a rich guy. She admitted there was little love involved.

Frankly, I'm becoming appalled over some of these posts. People are saying she deserved it, caused it and they may not be against domestic abuse after all. I don't mean to be rude but for shame. I hope like heck that anyone that is reading these posts and is a victim of abuse is not taking these comments to heart.

Does anyone know if any episodes were filmed after Russell's death? It seems from the timeline of last week we are getting pretty close to Taylor filing for divorce and we know Russell died about one month after that. I know the story of her diet pills hit about one month prior to the divorce.

I can't think of what those episodes are going to be like. I guess all the drama over who is talking about who or who was invited to what will seem pretty insignificant. Seeing him on film last week at her event, still gives me chills. I would guess the shame and stigma that indeed he was abusing her and it was going to be revealed was one of the factors, that along with the lawsuits, huge debts etc., put him over the edge.

At this point I am no fan or either one of them but to see how desperate both their lives became trying to live the pretend life in Beverly Hills, and how very far that was from their reality, and it was all revealed in a reality show, really it is just sad.

Did you notice some of the BH cast at Lisas tea party were reluctant to believe Taylors accusations against Russel too in the discussion after Taylor walked out?

The roller coaster cycle of DV can be difficult for outsiders to understand, particularly if they haven't any direct experience. Theres no doubt in my mind shes a victim, even without the pictures. When she said "I don't know who I am", thats about as honest as you can get. Shes really needy and damaged.

It seems kind of silly that Traylor is going on about wanting to be friends with Lisa. Lisa rightfully has reservations about being friends with her. Traylor is a minipualtive bytch. She treated Kim like shyt last season. Traylor is acting very childish about it. It seems like she is forcing Lisa to be friends with her and Lisa is not buying into it and why should she? She has too much class for that Oklahoma pariah.

I have never heard anyone whine about someone else saying that they were never friends when they really aren't. Traylor needs some therapy regarding the relationships she has with the other women.
