Tune in alert: Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hill premiered this week and given the recent alleged suicide of Real Husband, Russell Armstrong, many people are unhappy with Bravo’s decision to air the show. 

HLN’s Nancy Grace spoke exclusively with Armstrong’s sister, Laurie Armstrong Kelsoe, who believes her brother’s death was not a suicide.  Here’s a snippet from their conversation:

Nancy Grace: When you first learned about the alleged suicide, what was your immediate response?

Laurie Armstrong Kelsoe: That it was absolutely not a suicide. And I’ve said that through out this whole thing. And I’m sorry I’m a bit shaken right now I just learned about the autopsy report today. And what I’ve heard is very very disturbing to me, but it makes me feel like I’ve made the right decision to come here.

The toxicology report also came back which revealed that there were no traces of drugs or alcohol in Russell’s system. Many have been blaming substance abuse for Russell’s alleged suicide and the autopsy back up his sister’s case. She doesn’t believe this is something her brother would have done and wants people to know that her brother was not the monster people are depicting him as.
