Recently widowed Taylor Armstrong is back on the dating scene and one report has revealed that her new beau, reality star Matt Nordgren, has anger management issues. Taylor had suffered from abuse and even death threats from her late husband, Russell, and now it appears The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has fallen into a similar pattern.
According to Star Magazine, the Most Eligible Dallas star was arrested in 2003 and also charged with causing almost $1,000 worth of damage to a car after flying into a rage.
At the time, the star quarterback pulled his Lexus SUV behind another car in a parking lot at the University of Texas at Austin. Apparently, after Matt flashed his lights at the driver who was waiting to pick up a friend, the reality star literally jumped out of the SUV and started yelling and violently kicking the parked car.

Trying to provoke the driver, Matt asked, “You want to get out of the car? You want to take this outside?”
Well, the driver immediately called 911 out of concern for his safety and “in fear of imminent assault.” Matt was charged with criminal mischief, but the charges were later dropped when the driver withdrew his complaint.

She added, “Taylor should definitely be careful, because Matt is not who he says he is. In more ways than one.”
