Aug. 18 2011, Published 9:30 a.m. ET
Bravo TV executives called a mandatory "crisis" cast meeting Wednesday, at Adrienne Maloof's mansion, to discuss the suicide of co-star Taylor Armstrong's estranged husband Russell, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"It was a somber meeting," an insider shares. "Everyone in the room was still in mourning and simply shocked by Russell's death."
We're told Bravo asked the housewives to say little to nothing at all to the press about Russell's suicide.
RadarOnline.com also learned that producers are still trying to figure out how and if they will air footage of Taylor and Russell, especially since the couple were working on their marriage through counseling -- all on camera.
"The people at Bravo just want to do the appropriate thing," the source insists. "Their first priority is being respectful to Russell, Taylor and their families."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Russell, 47, was found hanged in the bedroom of a friend's home in Los Angeles on Monday.
