Lisa Wu-Hartwell Splits From Husband

Lisa Wu-Hartwell may have quit Real Housewives of Atlanta but she was still a housewife, until recently.

Her and her NFL pro husband Ed Hartwell, have separated.

"Sadly. We are separated but would NEVER be over money," she tweeted on Saturday. "That is so far from the truth. Wish people could respect people's privacy during times like these."

The two have a 3 year old son, Ed Jr.

Taylor Armstrong Talks About Her Divorce

Judging by the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 2 trailer, there is no shortness of drama this year. For Taylor Armstrong, she had some very personal drama unfold on camera.

"Unfortunately for me this year, there were a lot more tears, a lot more pain," Taylor Armstrong told E! News' Meagan Medick about her recent split from husband Russell Armstrong.

"I know it's going to be hard for me to watch a lot of it," Armstrong says of her soon-to-air split. "It's been such an emotional ride for me this year. And it's one thing to experience it, but then to watch it again on television and know that millions of other people are watching, it's going to be tough."

As for what she's doing to keep her mind off the split, she said, "I'm out and I'm spending a lot of time with my daughter right now. We're just trying to really take it day by day right now and trying to keep her life as consistent as possible and make sure she knows that she's surrounded by so much love and we're so fortunate that she really is."

Taylor Armstrong recently spoke with PEOPLE Magazine about her and Russell's rocky (to say the least) relationship and boy, did she drop a bomb!

Taylor revealed that during their regular, explosive arguments, Russell would curse at her and call her names. And here's the bomb -- their arguments often led to physical violence courtesy of Russell, which included grabbing her, throwing objects, shoving her, and pulling her hair.

He denies pulling her hair but admits, "Did I push her? Yes, maybe things happened in the heat of the moment, but it was during a time in our lives that was not characteristic of who we were. This show has literally pushed us to the limit."

"I felt like I was dying inside," she said. "Now, there's some sense of peace."

Even though Taylor Armstrong has just split from her hubby Russell Armstrong, she's getting by thanks to her friends including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Kyle Richards.

"I've been trying to get her to go out and have some fun," Kyle told PEOPLE Magazine. "I've seen her a lot lately. I love Taylor, and I know she's going through a hard time right now. I'm just being there as a friend."

In the end, Richards knows she'll be just fine. "She's going to pull through," she says. "She's a beautiful girl, she's a smart girl; she'll get through it."

Regarding Taylor's daughter, Kyle says, "she's doing great. She's kind of oblivious to what's going on."

This past week, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong filed for divorce from her hubby of 6 years, Rusell Armstrong. Here's what he has to say about the split:

“We had a wonderful marriage and I don’t want you to get the impression that Taylor and I are bitter enemies — we’re not. We have a beautiful five-year-old daughter who we both love. We are very supportive of each other and love each other. I will support her as best an I can moving forward.”

He also hinted of the ever famous reality show curse -- “The pressure of being in the TV spotlight was pretty overwhelming,” he told RumorFix. “It took our manageable problems and made them worse.”

So we all kind of saw this one coming.. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Taylor Armstrong and Russell Armstrong are preparing for divorce.

“We still love each other, but after going through counseling it has gotten to the point that the stress is just too much for both of us,” Russell Armstrong told OK! Magazine. He has moved out their Beverly Hills’ mansion, but says there is still hope that they can work out their differences.

According to Russell, being on a reality show caused the split. “I want Taylor to be the biggest actress on TV, and I want to feel happy not being on TV!”

Sonja Morgan Asks For Privacy During Divorce

Lately, there have been rumors swirling that Real Housewives of New York City star Sonja Morgan is losing her $6M townhouse in New York because of her divorce from her ex-husband John Adams Morgan and now she's setting the record straight -- and asking for privacy during this time.

“I have not made public my financial status affected by my divorce and outstanding business matters as I prefer to keep these matters private. However, it has now become public only due to my Chapter 11 filing, and has raised a lot of questions in the media, along with incorrect assumptions and statements,” Sonja said in her statement. “Many times divorce can be difficult especially when significant assets are co-mingled. Out of respect to my ex-husband, our families, my brand and future ventures, I ask that the media understand that during negotiations with interested parties on all sides I will not be able to discuss any details.”

“I appreciate all the support and professional advice I have received,” Sonja adds. “I look forward to discussing all of this and more as I move forward and my current situation is settled.”

Camille Thinks Kelsey's Daughter Is A Spy

I knew the Grammer divorce would get ugly but I didn't see this coming!

Apparently Camille Grammer is convinced that her ex-husband is having his eldest daughter, Spencer, act as a spy and steal important divorce documents from the couple's Hawaii estate.

TMZ reports, Camille's lawyer was in court yesterday to block Spencer from visiting the residence unless agreed upon by both Kelsey and Camille - now we see why.

Camille to Kelsey: I'll Take the Kids, Thank You

Not so fast, Kelsey Grammer.

Two weeks after the already remarried actor filed for sole physical custody of their two kids, ex-wife Camille Grammer has fired back with her own petition to have the kids live primarily with her, E! News confirmed Thursday.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star supposedly didn't want to play hardball, but apparently she's having trouble getting Kelsey on the phone...

Camille "would love to have a relationship with Kelsey for the kids' sake," a source close to the situation told People, but "Kelsey will not communicate with her."

"She will continue to fight aggressively to keep her kids and keep her kids together," the insider continued. "Kelsey's not been civil. [Camille] has tried to reach out without lawyers on multiple occasions and been rebuffed."

The estranged exes, who were married for 13 years before Camille filed for divorce last July, are parents to daughter Mason, 9, and son Jude, 6. Kelsey then married girlfriend Kayte Walsh, making her the fourth Mrs. Grammer on Feb. 25.

Camille's custody filing suggests that Kelsey went after sole custody "in order to create a false impression to the media and to wrongfully disparage" her.

But if her ex doesn't want to meet her halfway, that will be for a judge to decide.

Camille Grammer Tones Down Her Act

Has Kelsey Grammer's ex-wife Camille Grammer been ordered in their divorce settlement to shut up about their painful split and calm down on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

After hitting the jackpot in her recent divorce settlement with the "Frasier" star -- and facing a custody battle for their kids -- Camille has returned to the show's second-season tapings "subdued."

So much so that Bravo producers are finding her character -- which provided a lot of the crazy entertainment in Season 1 -- "really boring," according to sources, one of whom added, "Producers have told Camille she has to start being more interesting and causing more drama."

"Nobody knows what's in that divorce settlement," says a source close to the show. "But I would not be surprised if she could not discuss certain things. She's checking what comes out of her mouth, and the producers are pushing for the cast to be as naughty and as full-on as possible."

A rep for Camille said sternly, "We have never discussed Season 2, and won't." A Bravo rep also declined to comment.

The network has not announced the new season cast or when it will begin airing, but reports say all original members are back.

Taylor Armstrong & Hubby Secretly Separate

Taylor Armstrong has finally left her icy husband, Russell.

A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has secretly separated from her banker husband of seven years.

"They've had huge marital problems related to finances," the insider says of the pair, who were seen together with daughter Kennedy, 5, at a May 7 Lollipop Theater Network event in Burbank, Calif.

The couple's marital problems are nothing new: Bravo viewers watched them bicker constantly during the show's first season, and Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.

Still, the recent split is taking a physical toll on Taylor. "She's emaciated -- down 10, 15 pounds," a source tells Us.

The Real Housewives drama doesn't end there. New cast member Brandi Glanville, 38 -- Eddie Cibrian's ex -- and Kyle Richards, 42, have been "going at it" since filming began on season 2. "They got into a fight and Brandi lunged at Kyle," a source says. "They had to be separated by producers."

Vicki Gunvalson Melts Down Over Marital Woes

Real Housewives of Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson just isn't "woo-hooing" with as much vigor as she used to -- and with good reason.

As a new clip from Sunday's episode shows, the 48-year-old has had it with pals who prod her with relationship questions.

Recounting a dinner party Gunvalson attended with fellow wives Tamra Barney and Peggy Tanous, Gunvalson's husband, Donn, quickly becomes the lead topic of conversation. But when Tanous brings up how lively Donn was at the bash Gunvalson changes the subject.

"Every time someone would bring up Donn, I'd see Vicki get tighter and cringing," says Barney in a voiceover, as Tanous presses for more and her pal finally cracks.

"The reality is, my world is falling apart," the insurance executive -- who wed Donn in 1994 and filed for divorce in October -- laments. "My marriage is falling apart, my security is falling apart, and I'm miserable within my own mind and my body. I don't know where I belong anymore!"

As the couple's rocky romance crumbles on camera, Gunvalson admitted to Us Weekly in March that she and her estranged spouse were still living under the same roof.

"My love tank has truly been empty for many many years," Gunvalson said. "We stopped communicating. My happiness came from my work and my children," she explained of Michael and Brianna, her grown kids from her first marriage.

"I didn't go to Donn for friendship or companionship, and he didn't with me either," she told Us.

Vicki Gunvalson: RHOC Caused My Divorce

Bravo's hit reality franchise focuses on the lives of "Real Housewives," but is it ending their marriages in the process?

Orange County's Vicki Gunvalson filed for divorce from her husband Donn last year, and claims the reality program had something to do with it.

"Six years ago when Donn and I started, we didn't have 90 percent of the problems that we have now and I truly believe it is the show," she tells CNN.

"[W]e had a good foundation. We really felt like we could battle it and the reality was I got too busy for him. My business in itself - I have 400 agents and 12 employees and I'm at the office a lot because I was trying to film TV in there and then he felt deflated… the center of my universe was not my husband," she says. "I didn't have anything left for him and we grew distant. If I didn't have the show I would have had more time for him. That's the reality."

But Gunvalson cautions that the show isn't at the root of all their troubles - her "Housewives" co-star Tamra Barney also split from her husband, but Gunvalson says that sometimes it's just a matter of life playing out in front of the camera.

“Look there's gonna be divorces and there is gonna be deaths like when Lou Knickerbocker died. We didn't expect that," she says. "[T]his is the reality and if you are throwing your life on a reality TV show, you have to be prepared for the consequences."

Countess LuAnn: Keeping Her Title & Jewelry!

Countess LuAnn de Lesseps of  the Real Housewives of New York has divorced French Count Alexandre de Lesseps but she's keeping the title, she said today on The Talk -- and a few other goodies from her marriage.

De Lesseps noted some of the history behind it, and said the title is part of who she is. "I was married for 16 years," she said. "I'm keeping the title. I'm keeping the jewelry. Princess Di did it and Fergie did it. You know, why can't I keep my title? Do you think any of those housewives would give up that title? I don't think so."

Plus, as Sharon Osbourne noted, it's handy for making restaurant and plane reservations. And it's more dignified than a lot of what comes out of the Housewives franchise.

Tamra Barney Clears Up Cheating Rumors

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney is madly in love with her boyfriend Eddie Judge, but she wants to make it clear that she did not cheat on her husband with him.

"The biggest rumor that’s going on about me right now is that I ran off with my husband’s best friend," Tamra tells RumorFix exclusively. "It was started by my [ex]-husband [Simon] to make me look bad ... it’s a bad one, it’s a horrible one."

Tamra set the record straight on the rumor, telling us, "It’s not true at all, no." She continues, "Actually, the boyfriend that I have, and you’ll see him on season 6, is a very nice guy. He runs a law firm, very respectable and he was a mutual friend of mine, my business partner in real estate, and Simon had met him once or twice, as I did too, but they never were friends"

But the reality star says she has no hard feelings toward her ex. "I have respect for him and he is the father of my children, so I understand maybe he did that rumor out of hurt."

And with all this experience of getting a divorce in the public eye, Tamra says she's writing a book tentatively called The Reality Behind Divorce.

Tamra Barney: Alexis Bellino Will Divorce Too

Tamra Barney told viewers last night that Alexis Bellino’s marriage will eventually fall apart. Tamra Barney said Alexis Bellino’s marriage will crumble apart because Bellino’s husband is just like Barney’s own husband Simon.

While Tamra Barney has attempted to not portray herself as villainess this season, last night she was exactly that, appearing friendly to one Housewife only to trash her marriage to viewers later on.

Barney invited Alexis Bellino to a session of yoga only to insult Bellino for what she wore to the session. Barney jokingly called Alexis a b—ch because her body was too hot. “Alexis has this totally hot body. I would be lying if I didn’t say she is hot … b—tch!” Then she said that Bellino doesn’t dress right for yoga wearing fake eyelashes, even though Barney didn’t own up to wearing fake eyelashes herself during the session (according to Gretchen Rossi).

But the real turmoil erupted after Barney orders herself a glass of Chardonnay after yoga. During the dinner Barney appears to be friendly to Alexis; but during her video narrative taped later, she says that Alexis Bellino’s marriage will not last. Barney tells Bellino that her husband is a control freak like Barney’s ex husband, Simon. Barney even makes a dog gesture that Bellino is a canine pet to her husband that does anything to get pampered with gifts.

Bellino, however, defends herself saying that her husband is not like Simon. “I’ve heard from too many people that Alexis’ husband doesn’t like me” explains Barney. But after Barney calls him a control freak, it’s no wonder.

Barney was not so willing to talk about herself. When asked by Bellino about boyfriend Eddie Judge, Barney refused to introduce him to her.

“I don’t know I’m very weird about this … because my divorce is not finalized yet … it’s just too soon…. I had such a weird issue between Simon and Ryan that … I’m very content with my relationship being private. I’m just taking my time. Everything has happened so fast. And everyone likes to talk.”

Vicki Gunvalson: I Still Live With My Ex Donn

Real Housewives of Orange County fans weren't exactly shocked when veteran star Vicki Gunvalson filed for divorce from husband Donn last October, after much onscreen tension between the pair.

A bit more shocking: Today, nearly five months after that split announcement, the estranged spouses, who wed in 1994, remain under one roof.

"We're still living together," Vicki, 48, told Us Magazine on Friday.

But the Bravo star and insurance executive was quick to clarify that a reconciliation isn't a possibility. "We're [mediating] our divorce," she told Us. "We still have our finances co-mingled [and] joint accounts."

And, she added, they lead completely separate lives, and that Donn plans to move out within the next few months. "We don't know where each other are, ever. He's always going to be in my life."

Isn't that a little awkward? "It's very hard -- but the reality is, he's not fighting for me, he's not saying, 'Babe I want you back.' He's saying 'Babe, I wish you well.'"

What went wrong?

"My love tank has truly been empty for many many years," Gunvalson said. "We stopped communicating. My happiness came from my work and my children," she explained of Michael and Brianna, her grown kids from her first marriage.

"I didn't go to Donn for friendship or companionship, and he didn't with me either."

Things came to a head late last summer, when the couple didn't speak or see one another for six weeks. Finally, during a blowout family argument back at home, Vicki handed him a letter she'd written weeks before. "I said, 'Here, I want a divorce...I'm done.' It was the hardest day of my life."

But the couple remain on cordial terms. Before Vicki headed out to NYC for promotional duties, Vicki noted, "He said 'Break a leg, I love you, hope you're safe in New York.'"
