Later this week, HLN will broadcast Dr. Drew’s one-on-one interview with cast member of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, Taylor Armstrong.

She has a revealing look at her life after her husband’s tragic suicide as well as the abuse she says she’s endured her entire life.

Armstrong is asked if she used the reality show as a form of protection from her husband Russell.

In part, she responds, “You would never think that someone would take a risk like that. But the problem was he has an impulse control problem. It didn't matter how many cameras were around. When he was out of control, nothing around him made any difference.”

Hear more from Armstrong and Dr. Drew in the video clip above.

Watch the full interview this Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on HLN and follow the show on Twitter @DrDrewHLN.
