Taylor and Russell Armstrong Attend Global Green USA's Pre-Oscar Party on February 23, 2011

Russell Armstrong’s family is expressing their displeasure with Bravo after the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s tragic death by suicide Monday.

Russell’s step-brother Wade Jackson is the first in his family to speak out, claiming the Armstrongs are contemplating legal action against the network.

“Bravo is at fault, and somebody needs to pay,” Jackson told Radar Online.

Jackson’s not just blaming Bravo; he also points to Russell’s wife, Taylor, who Jackson says “pushed [Russell] into” doing the show. He added, “He was really upset about the whole thing and told everyone in the family that he didn’t want to be on the show.”

In short, Jackson says, “The whole family is sad about his death, and they want answers.”

For now, the only answers come from the L.A. County Coroner, who has now confirmed Russell Armstrong died by hanging on Monday night, according to his autopsy.
