Taylor Armstrong: Russell Said Sex With Me Was Like Sex With a Skeleton

Every revelation from Taylor Armstrong about her life with her late husband Russell is just a little more horrifying and sad, and makes us wish we could get both sides of the story.

But Russell's 2011 suicide insured that isn't going to happen, so we're left with Taylor Armstrong's new book, Hiding From Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within as the most complete, if one-sided, account of their relationship.
In promoting the book, Taylor Armstrong shared yet another Russell-sucks story on Entertainment Tonight: That Russell wasn't happy with her thin frame. In fact, he was so displeased with her body that he liked to mock her about it, telling her that sex with her was like having sex with a skeleton.
"Well, it's hard because I couldn't seem to gain weight and I was doing everything I could," Armstrong said on ET, as quoted by the Daily Mail. "And he would remind me constantly that he didn't find it attractive, and he would say critical things to me about it. I was such a bag of nerves all the time. It made me feel very unattractive."

Armstrong also told a story about Russell's accusations that she was cheating on him, which led to one incident of him demanding she take a polygraph test to prove she wasn't having an affair with an NBA player.
"I took the test and after, I felt filthy like I needed a shower," she said. "Filthy, like disgusted and heartbroken and sad. I felt worthless. I felt like a criminal."
