Watch: 'Housewives' Star Jeana Keough On Armstrong

Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough is speaking out in a new interview about Russell Armstrong a day after the news of his death hit.

Keough, who is currently with family in Wisconsin, originally found out about Armstrong's suicide through Twitter. "My reaction to his supposed suicide was just horror," Keough said. "To leave a five-year-old child and nothing could be that bad. A relationship can be worked on; a lawsuit can be resolved. To me there is no reason to take your life."

Keough also offered words of encouragement to Taylor Armstrong after her estranged husband's death. "I did send her a text that my thoughts and prayers were with her," Keough said.
