Taylor Armstrong admitted why she doesn’t watch Actual Housewives of Beverly Hills.
“I stopped watching mostly the Beverly Hills girls because I love them all so much and watching them fight,” Armstrong, 52, completely instructed Us Weekly on the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Middle grand opening in West Hollywood on Thursday, April 25.
“I know what that anxiety feels like when you’re in that situation when you’re fighting with your friends on camera and it’s just so much pressure. And I was like, ‘I can’t watch this.’ It’s upsetting me watching them yell at each other.”
Armstrong was one of many unique forged members of RHOBH earlier than she departed the present in 2016, occurring to hitch Actual Housewives of Orange County as an alternative. When requested why she left RHOBH within the first place, Armstrong shared {that a} tv present that showcased ladies preventing with one another was counterintuitive to the work she was doing for ladies’s empowerment.
“I’m working on so many other projects. I’m really big in the women’s empowerment space, so working on Empowered Experts is a big project,” she instructed Us. “It’s going to take a lot of my time and it’s all courses and retreats and things for women, just kind of building each other up. Sometimes it’s a little difficult when watching my friends fight on TV and then turning around and being empowered. It doesn’t really fit sometimes.”
She added, “I’m doing scripted [television] now, so I’ve been having fun with that. And it’s great to play somebody else and not get yourself in trouble playing you.”
Whereas Armstrong won’t watch RHOBH, that doesn’t imply she’s not rooting for her pals — together with Kyle Richards — from the sidelines. Whereas Richards, 55, has not but chosen whether or not she’s going to return for season 14, Armstrong instructed Us that she doesn’t see an exit within the playing cards for her pal and former costar.
“I can’t imagine her not being on the show,” Taylor instructed Us on Thursday. “I also think it might be good for her just to take a year and be happy and not feel the pressure of the show on top of everything that’s going on in a relationship.”
She added, “It’s nice to step away and take a breather for a minute. I don’t know if she would know how though. She’s been doing it for so long.” Kyle said in March that if she had been to return for season 14, it will be a “last-minute” choice.
