The next ominous message mentioned Taylor's young daughter, Kennedy: "Turn around bright eyes every now and then, Kennedy's dead," @hardboiledpeggs wrote, to which Taylor replied once again: "Don't ever contact me again."
The Twitter user @hardboiledpeggs has since been deleted. Armstrong has a book signing event scheduled on February 7 in New Jersey, and a source says security has been amped up in light of the threats.

It's been a rocky past year for the Bravo star after her husband, Russell Armstrong, committed suicide last summer because of financial woes. Taylor's new memoir, Hiding From Reality, details the violent beatings she endured at the hands of Russell, the verbal abuse she suffered in front of her daughter and raises allegations he secretly spied on her during their marriage.
The Texas beauty's memoir, Hiding from Reality: My Story of Love, Loss, and Finding the Courage Within, goes on sale February 7.
