Jill Zarin Exclusive Blog Reunion Pt 1
Posted: July 26th, 2011 admin356 Comments »
Hello everyone. I hope you all enjoyed watching Part 1 of the Reunion. I had a great time watching it with Cindy Barshop and some friends. Firstly, I would like to say that I love hearing from all of you who write me. I have been very fortunate to be flooded with emails from you but it is getting a little difficult to manage them all. So please, instead of emailing me, leave your comments on JillZarin.com. I will see them all more easily and timely. If you have an autograph request, a recipe, a travel tip, or want to share something that is of a personal nature please email me at jill@jillzarin.com and my assistant will handle accordingly.
Thank you all for all the nice compliments last night on how I looked! I very much appreciate them. Many of you asked how I get my hair so straight. Blow dry and then flat iron. Simple. The amazing necklace I wore is from Carolina Amato.
I normally don’t like writing blogs that contain very little positivity. Throughout the season I know our blogs can get very catty toward each other but I always try to add the nice things as well. Bobby and I always say peace and love is the most important thing. I try really hard to stay on that path. When it comes to blogging about a Housewives reunion, unfortunately it’s just not going to be filled with pleasantries. Bravo gets us together at the end of each season to talk about the controversies that went on throughout the season and the ensuing months. Needless to say there’s not a lot of positivity to write about, so all I can give you is my honest opinion on a few of the situations discussed.
When Ramona and Alex set me up early in the season at the wedding I reacted to what they did and called Alex a name. But what did they expect? They did it to get a reaction. The only thing I regret is the language I used. Remember, this was before we made our truce. Alex used this to retract our truce. In the five months since we burned that paper I did not talk behind her back. Every chance she got, she took a shot at me. The things she said about me on camera this season were before she knew what I said about her at the wedding. Everything she said was after we had a so-called truce. I’m an honest person. When I made the truce with her I meant it and I kept it. Yet I watch the show and I hear her telling Simon that she never really liked me, etc… Also in her and Simon’s blogs this season, they never missed a chance to take a shot at me. So why forgive Sonja who never gave an apology, yet break our truce? Alex said something to the extent of “real friends fight and make up.” If that was the case and Alex wanted to be my real friend she would have let that go like she did with Sonja. She realized she couldn’t fight with everyone and still stay on the show so she chose Sonja’s friendship. That’s her choice, but she never should have led me to believe that she wanted to be my friend. It’s obvious that she was playing on both sides of the fence. She was looking for a reason to fight with me and used something I said under my breath once over four months of filming against me.
It takes both people to make a friendship work. When Simon threatened me, I could have done the same thing she did but I chose peace over pettiness. I wish Alex would have done the same. The truth is I did like Simon and Alex when I met them and I would have much preferred to spend the past four years building a friendship instead of tearing each other part. Sadly, I was not surprised to hear Alex condones aggressive behavior from her husband toward her friends or women in general. It was obvious all season as she never stepped up and spoke to Simon about the things he was doing and saying to any of the Housewives.
Did you happen to notice Ramona’s body language when she doesn’t want to talk about something? When it was brought up about Mario confronting me recently, Ramona just wanted to skip it instead of apologizing for Mario’s inexcusable behavior. Andy wouldn’t let it go. This was a party held by a mutual friend of ours and there is also another mutual friend of ours who was witness to Mario shoving me with his hand and getting in my face and saying “I want to talk to you.” Ramona needed to acknowledge that it happened and ask her husband to apologize. She at least admitted that she didn’t see the incident which is different than what she said in the press after it happened. We all got choose what we say in our intros this season and it’s interesting to note how Ramona wanted to present herself. “If people can’t handle the truth it’s really not my problem.” This reinforces her pattern of hurting peoples feelings and not caring about what people think and feel. We all say things sometimes in anger and I’m as guilty as the next person but at least I’m adult enough to apologize.
I honestly got very upset that Ramona continued to bring up Luann’s children. Before season one we all agreed, no kids, keep the drama between us. Ramona crossed the line and went as low as she could go. Ramona has no boundaries for the emotional damage she causes. She can give it but she can’t take it. For the past two seasons she has relentlessly talked about Luann’s marriage. Yet when I commented (what I thought was a private conversation, as you can see the camera didn’t see me only heard me) she thought it was the worst thing ever. She can dish it out but can’t take it. It’s obvious how uncomfortable she made Luann. Ramona wouldn’t let it go, she kept hammering her and I couldn’t take it. Someone had to stand up and say “enough” and I literally did. I walked off the set. Ramona should check her own house before throwing stones.
I want to take a moment to get something straight regarding Bethenny. Ramona continues to say that she tried to help Bethenny and me make up. What she’s not saying is that the day Luann and I went to her house it was 9am and we thought we were going to help her clean out her closet. I had no idea that Bethenny was going to show up, but Ramona made sure that Bethenny knew that I would be there. Ramona knows that I do not do well with surprises in stressful situations. It was the wrong time to get my mind ready. The island was her chance to make things right and yet Ramona threw me out. Despite Ramona and Alex’s efforts to keep us apart I am happy to say that Bethenny and I have since been in contact. Who knows what the future will bring.
I want to end by saying this. The blondes continue to think that just because they say things it makes them true. In answer to that philosophy I have this to say, “You stop lying about me and I’ll stop telling the truth about you.”
Until next week.
Love,
Jill XO

Jill I just cannot stand how Alex treats you and the other girls, keep standing up to her. She just kept butting her nose into everything that was asked of any of you girls. She really has become someone I do not like.
Keep up the great work that you do for charities.
Thanks Raeleen
July 26th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Love you, doll!!! You’re the prettiest housewife hands down!!!
July 26th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
The “blondes” totally embarrassed themselves this season. From showing their butts to drunkeness, it was hard to watch. TEAM JILL!!
July 26th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
i am so happy oto hear that you,you and bethanny have been in contact with each other. maybe you won’t ever get back to where you were, but there will be peace and harmony in your life. when are you coming back to boca? i saw some patients over at your mom’s complex. looks great over there…. fondly sandi… i met you at alene’s
July 26th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
I hope you and Bethenny are able to work things out and become friends again. I was really disappointed with Alex and Ramona this past season.
July 26th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
random comment, but i love how each blog entry you write you have a different fabulous picture of yourself. sorry i am bored and i noticed that
which amused me hehe
July 26th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
You were awesome lastnight! I’m so glad you don’t take any $hit from those who choose to make up things and distort the truth! I love your strength of character and your unwavering support of your friends! On a side note, you looked Amazing! Hair and Makeup A+!!!
July 26th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
I love the show, I admire your honesty…you do “own it” and I can respect that.
July 26th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
Jill,
I was on the fence about you with the whole bethenny thing. But I am team Jill for RHONY now..Those blondes seriously drove me insane last night!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
Jill.. well said… and unbelievable how people lie and MOST importantly REACT! Didn’t these women’s mothers ever tell them ACTIONS speak louder than words! They behave like CHILDREN… that is why they are getting the kids involved because they have NOTHING else to use as excuses! RIDICULOUS! I must say Sonya is the only one that seems to be real with the “brunettes” and truly takes responsibility for herself, actions and comments! Can’t wait to see PART 2!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
hi jill, i was so happy to read that you and bethanny have been in contact. good for the both of you. maybe it won’t ever be the same, but at least you can move forward and have peace and harmony in your life. i was over at your mom’s community the other day seeing patients and thought about you… when are you coming back to boca? i met you at alene’s. fondly, sandi moreno
July 26th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
Jill, I absolutly love you on the show! And I wish you would all ask alex to get off the show!. Ramona is very anooying and keeps the drama going whcih is funny.but I thing ramona needs a taste of her own medicine!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
Jill,
Love u! You have always been a class act. I don’t get why the blondes want to act like they are high school bullies, but let them. I’m proud of you and the friendships you have with Lu and Kelly…it’s REAL. It’s not partying and drunkeness. That’s all the blondes have and that won’t make for a good foundation.
Keep it up! Love you and Bobby!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
love you jill! team brunette ftw
July 26th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
I thought you did great last night given the circumstances. Ramona’s childish behavior is beyond. When ever she’s caught in a lie, instead of answering to it, she attacks someone else. She claimed in her blog after calling Luann a weekend mom, that her Mario and Avery have dinner together every night…of course, a couple of weeks ago, Avery told on camera…a very different story about not even knowing where her parents are half the time!Sonja just follows her around like a puppy…and Alex…well…Kelly is right, Alex acts like she’s on stage half the time. Alex has a totally different personality each year, like she’s trying to figure out which one the audience is going to like…wonder what she’ll do next season? lol So glad you have this blog, they never print mine over at Bravo and the same with a lot of my friends. Team brunette! Sherry
July 26th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
Jill, I have watched RHONY since Season 1 and I have to say that even with the controversy surrounding your attitude toward Bethenny and eventual breakup of your friendship, I have been your fan. You are someone I would love to hang out with. I also love Bethenny and I was saddened when she left RHONY (and you). I am SO thrilled to hear that you’ve at least been in contact and I hope that your relationship with her can finally flourish away from the cattiness of the Troupe.
By the way, you are incredibly beautiful and I love your skin! Gorgeous!
Much love to you and your family.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
Hi Jill,
I have watched the RHWNYC from the beginning and I have been a fan of yours right from the start! I was sad to watch things unravel between you and Bethanny, however I do believe that everything happens for a reason and perhaps the friendship just wasn’t what you had thought it was.. I can relate to that. I admire your strength and courage during that entire ordeal! I must tell you that I was fired up watching part 1 of the reunion last night! I am so tired of Alex pretending that she is a nice person..I find her to be mean and often attacking, I felt a bit of redemption that you called her out on her behavior. I am definitely team brunettes!! Ramona seems to have difficulty owning her behavior, she too can be mean and calculating.. I don’t like it when they both gang up on you! Keep on being true to yourself, I would not want to watch housewives if you were not a part of the show, same goes for Luanne.. love you both! and all the “brunettes” for that matter.. thanks for a great season. Sincerely, carole s. from NJ
July 26th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
I like you the best on the housewives, and I just like you would not take any crap from the blondes either.I cannot wait until part 2.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Jill, I totally agree with you on what you’ve said. We all have our boundaries and I commend you and most of the ladies for keeping the children out of it. From what we’ve seen on the show you have a wonderful daughter and that’s all that needs to be said about kiddos. Mucho respect for you.
The reunions are always going to be heated because it’s when you lovely ladies see everything that’s gone on behind your backs. It’s a shame it has to get to those points but when certain people are yelling over others, it’s difficult. I felt awful for Cindy especially.
I won’t ramble…anymore haha but I will say that I respect you greatly for sticking up for LuAnn’s children and LuAnn in general. You’ve always been my favorite housewife and continue to impress me as to who you are, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Much love and happiness to you and yours! <3

July 26th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Jill,I did enjoy it and yes Ramona has a huge problem..herself!Alex also has a problem…Simon.Sonja has one also…but there is not enough time in my life to write it out! Just be yourself Jill…I like the person you are…God Bless you and yours..
July 26th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Jill watched the renuion and thought you looked beautiful. I can’t stand Ramona. I think she has a drinkig problem and acts ridiculous. Looking forward to part 2
July 26th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Jill, I love that last line, “You stop lying about me and I’ll stop telling the truth about you.” Sorry to say I had to stop watching the show I just could not stand watching Ramona, Sonja and Alex anymore. They started irritating me so badly I had to turn it off. I hope that they watch themselves and see what they are or have become!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
god -alex-is a bitch-get her off the show-shes tv hungry-and simone-why is he on more than her hes a creep
July 26th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
Hi Jill, youre the housewife I relate to the most and I find you the most genuine!
I cant believe Ramona’s comments about Luanne’s children and im so glad you stood up to her. Ramona was a total disgrace and it was obvious she felt insecure and lashed out. She needs to take a long look at herself and what her own children are seeing. I certainly wouldnt want to witness my mother constantly drinking like that.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
HUGE fan! My 8 yr old daughter tells me that you remind her of me! LOLOL – I said THAT’S A COMPLIMENT! Luv ya HUN!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
Jill, since moving out of the city a few years ago I don’t find myself going in too often! If you ever find youself in the beautuful Hudson Valley give me a buzz, we’ll lunch and dish! No bullshit–you are my fave!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Jill,
I am so happy that you and Bethenny have been in contact. I know what it feels like to lose such a good friend or even a best friend because of other people’s influences. Although, my relationship with my friend has gone a year on my birthday since we’ve spoken, don’t lose faith. Keep your close friend just as that close. Don’t let anyone influence or cloud your judgment. Thank you Jill for sharing your life with us on T.V. you are by far one of my favorite housewives to watch!
Much Love from Los Angeles!
Juan
July 26th, 2011 at 11:07 pm
I have been with u since day 1..and u r my fave
July 26th, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Jill I know you were sincere with wanting to start over with Bethany, however Bethany chose not to.. I’m sorry Jill but your friendship is over with her and you know what Jill It’s her loss!!! I can see crazy Ramona and Bethany being friends because they both have smart ass mouths. And you on the other hand have alot more class than both of them!!! Love you Jill. Oh and by the way Alex is disgusting so she and Ramona are a good pair too lol. I honestly have to say I just don’t have a good feeling about Luanne I just never did I don’t know what it is but maybe kind of a two face I know she’s your friend but i just don’t trust her.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
I want to say that I think you are an amazing, caring, strong, beautiful woman and an inspiration to so many of us. I watch the show every chance I get and have seen you grow and adopt more sensible and peaceful ways of dealing with the trials and tribulations that are thrown at you when it comes to certain people. Please don’t let the negativity of others change you or the path you are on!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
wow!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
Jill,
And Alex. Poor Alex. She just wants to fit in. But needs to shut the “F” up!! Ya know?? Anyway, I just wanted to say you are THE BEST. And I am sooo happy you and Bethany have been in Contact. I only can hope for the best for you two. So keep your chin up. You and Bobby have a wonderful marriage it seems, and something to be envied. Take Care and keep being Jill. Love You. Jennifer
I’ve already commented on your FB post, but I wanted to write you again. Honestly, I sooo did not like you the first couple of seasons. But now, You are my favorite. Cindy, has no business being on the show. Seriously, she’s a waste of space. Kelly, I thought she was having a nervous breakdown last season and was concerned for her. Ramona is a plain and simple alcoholic. LuAnn needs to drop this “Countess” stuff. She’s not Princess Diana. So Stop. Sonja, Well, I like. She’s real
July 26th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
love ya, Jill!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
First of all, from the beginning you were a favorite of mine, last year I got a little scared as you seemed to go in a direction that I didn’t care for but this year it was obvious you worked hard to stay kind. I hate the way the whole blondes verses brunettes thing happened, Alex drives me nuts!!! Look at her face when Andy showed the clip of her fighting with everyone. I think she quickly realized after her first season if she didn’t get more :airtime she would be replaced, this whole anger thing and speaking her mind is crazy I’m starting to hate her as much as Danielle Staub (sp?) from the other show. please continue to stay on a good path, and let Ramona and Alex go off to their la la land …. unfortunately it looks like they are being successful taking Sonya with them …. loved her last season and this season she was so snotty!!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Oh Jill, I am totally team “brunette”, I was very impressed by LuAnn, Kelly, Cindy and yourself, though you ALL talked over each other, team “brunette” was honest and open, and sincere. I used to watch the show because I adore you and Kelly, but Miss Cindy Barshop won me over this season. I wish Alex, and Sonja would leave the show, as they dont offer anything of value, except “pecking orders” and “class”less behavior. I hope next season bring much more Cindy and much less Sonja and Alex. It alson seemed to me that Sonja became more and more outrageous the more airtime she got, I actually turned the channel during certain episodes that focused on Sonja and Franken-Alex. Oh well, cannot wait for part two of the reunion, you Ladies(most of you anyway) make me laugh and cry every week, good day and God bless!!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Gotta love you Jill!!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Dear Jill, You look amazing, I love your hair and the color. You handled yourself with class and intelligence. You caught some attitude from Alex and her rude fame hoar and is not a gentleman. Bobby is the poster board for what a real and good man is. I am so proud of the way you handled Ramona (crazy eyes) . I loved how you stood by your true friends and the way you stood up for her children, LouAnn is a sweet woman. You need your own show because I feel that you are the backbone of that show. You carry it and are so well poised. Great job, well done. I admire your candidness.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
ill u were amazing at the reunion last night, i loved how strong and beautiful u looked, u finally stood up for your self and gave those bit.hes a piece of your mind… i hated it last season when u didn’t stick up for yourself while Bethanny and all the girls bullied u… and btw, after watching rhony marathon i realized that u are so much better off without Bethanny she used u and abused u, if it wasn’t for u she would still be a nobody getting abused by men, without a dime on the street. u introduced her to bravo tv, u put her on the show, u were there for her, and when she started making money and met jason she left u… like u said on the show “she emptied out your entire bank account and ran”… i wish u could’ve told her off last year but don’t worry karma is a bi…ch her 15 min of fame will soon be over..
love u Jill and stay strong and continue to open your mouth to bullies like Alex and Ramona…xoxo
July 26th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
Jill,
First, I want to say how beautiful you looked!! Second, I can not stand the “blonde attitudes” Alex is only looking for a way for her and Simon to climb the social ladder..To be honest, I think Simon is in the closet..lol Sonja is a joke…I don’t like the way she treated Cindy at all this season..who gave her the right to say what is right and wrong in business..Ramona, oh please lets not get started with her..She shouldn’t throw stones at a glass house. She reminds me of a guilty person, trying to put the blame on other people so no one looks at her problems.
My daughter loved your comment about menopause knocking on her door, she cracked up..she is 15 and since I am going thru it she found it funny..
You are one of my favorite housewives due to you are true to yourself!! Don’t ever change no matter what those blonde bimbos say!!
Your fan

Hey Jill… I think you hit the nail on the head with all of your points. I am not sure what was wrong with Alex this season. You guys did make your truce yet she had nothing but negative things to say about you in all of her interviews. It actually was difficult to even watch her at times, she seems really awkward and it wouldn’t be upsetting if she was off the show. I agree how wrong it was for Ramona to bring the kids into the argument, it is a shame she would make those kinds of comments. Her comments about LuAnn’s marriage were below the belt too. I am happy to hear that you and Bethenny have been in contact and I wish you all the best with her.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:13 pm

Jill:
I truly enjoyed reading your blog. I enjoy each of you ladies on RHONY, but I have notice in the past few years how Ramona over exaggerates a great deal and likes to twist things around. I know that all of you are good women, but I think that you need to distance yourself from such a poisonous relationship. I have noticed how it has affected you when Ramona and Alex start verbally attacking you. I see the emotional effect and also the physical affect it has on you. I have seen how Alex has discovered her voice and I think it is great, but she has to learn when to use it. Right now she is like a woman who just discovered sex and is having a overload. I think in time (hopefully) she will realize that she is over zealous with her outspokenness. Thanks for sharing about you and Bethanny, I truly think you and her were great friends because you got each other. I think Ramona did more harm than good, and I think she was jealous of the friendship, her and Sonja make a great fit for friends, both of them a all over the place emotionally and mentally. Keep being you and don’t let them women push your buttons. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope it helps you or if anything gives you some type of piece to know that through all the drama some of us see you!!!!
God Bless you and your family

I totally agree with you Jill! EVERY housewife is guilty of talking behind another’s back (that’s the nature of the show) at least you’re mature enought to admit it and move on! LOVE YOU!
P.S. I wish you and Bethany could make up
July 26th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Great job Jill. I’m a new viewer. I’ve seen some of last season and all of this season’s episodes.
I was very proud of you on the show; you’re integrity and honesty was very evident in the way you carried yourself. Good job girl! Alex has got some terrible insecurity issues if she is depicted correctly on the show. Shame on Alex for jumping into everyone’s issues. She and Simon need to move on and focus on their family and not concocting lame and transparent attempts at climbing the social ladder.
Yeah for you and Bethenney!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Jill,
I have to tell you that you have always been my favorite housewife!! My heart went out to both you and Bethenny after your friendship dissolved. As women we have all been through something very similar, and I hope that you and Bethenny find peace in your friendship.
You handled yourself like a classy woman, and the others on the couch across from you should take notes.
I agree that when Ramona is faced with answering questions that she takes the high road to responding.
Stay true to yourself Jill Zarin!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
I have to disagree…Part 1 of the reunion was awful to watch. Most of it you can’t hear what is being said b/c everyone is talking. Aside from the one who can never be bothered (Cindy) you all were totally out of control. I even tried Closed Caption,it picks up words from everyone, still not clear! Why is it so obvious to everyone but you ladies, that Simon is going out of his way to get airtime? Ignore him, his behavior bordered on ridiculous. Disappointing season and I think this year hit rock bottom, maybe its time to end.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
Jill,
Wow! What a crazy reunion show! The RHONY is mine and my mom’s favorite show. I first started watching the show when I had moved from KY to TX. I was 22 hours from home and I missed my family a lot. My mom and I have always been so close and one night on the phone I told her RHONY was on. She asked what it was and I told her… that night we started watching it together and we would talk on the phone the entire show. It was our bonding time and made me feel close to her. Now, I have moved back to KY and of course we still watch the show together. I just wanted to share that with you.
Now on to the reunion! You and Bethany have always been mine and my mom’s favorite housewives. We were sad about what happened last season and am glad that you have two have been in contact.
I can tell a huge difference in your attitude this season. I can tell that you are focused on having relationships with each other and striving to always be the best you can be. I commend you for that.
Last season, I really enjoyed Sonja. I thought she was really funny and she just added a new perspective to the show. This season was totally different. I thought many times she acted if she was better than others and quickly formed a high school click with Alex and Ramona. I have never in my life seen three grown women act as childish as they do. It is embarrassing and annoying to watch. Alex I think has “found her voice” and need to lose it for a little bit. I think Alex comes from a good place but always seems to be seen and heard at the wrong place, wrong time.
Ramona on the other hand is a complete biatch. She always tries to tell people what they need to do, is a backstabber and always talking behind someone’s back. She is heartless and cruel. She only cares about herself and no one else. It is sickening. She reminds me of a kid in school who bullies others. People all over talk about children being bullied. What about adults bullying others? She talks about how great she looks for her age and that she only eats right, works out and uses her miracle skin care. Well, i’m sorry but at 54 you will have a wrinkle or two and that is why she gets botox. How dare her say something about your liquid face lift. Jill, you are gorgeous with or without it and someone needs to point out all the stuff Ramona has done. Plus who cares? Most people have some type of cosmetic surgery or procedure done. Heck, I am 24 and had my boobs done last year! I am sure when I am older I will have all the botox and other procedures done. Oh, and Ramona thinking she is preggo? She really is a loon isn’t she? She just did that to get more air time and to try to get her viewers excited. In return everyone thought she was a blooming idiot! I still laugh when I think about it.
As for Luann and Cindy, I love them. I think they are wonderful. Those women are your true friends. The only thing about Luann that kind of gets me sometimes is she can be condescending but we are all like that sometimes.
Bottom line, my mom and I have always enjoyed watching you. I think you are a wonderful, beautiful woman and you have the world at your finger tips. I went to NYC for New Years in 2009, I kept my eye open to see if I would see any of you ladies… haha but I didn’t. Maybe one day.
I wish you and your family the best. Please don’t ever leave the show! Honestly, if you did, mom and I would not watch anymore!
God Bless!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
Jill always loved you! Big fan, when is someone legitimately going to ask how the world is Alex a model? She is one of the ugliest inside and out people I have ever seen! Keep being real and forget the blondes, not worth your time!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
You are the glue that holds the show together. I am happy to hear that you and Bethanny have been in contact with other.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
TEAM JILL
You Go Girl and get your friendship back with Bethenny! Its worth fighting for :0) and dont let them ‘blondes’ get in your way of your friendship with Bethenny because you two clearly from Season 1 have a special connection which everyone is trying to get in the way. I was soo sad to see u guys part I didnt like Bethenny after the split with you then watching her on ‘Bethenny Ever After’ I definitely see insight into her life now. Both you and Bethenny have a great bond which i feel that you can rekindle. Best of Luck and Many Blessings. This time please dont let the ‘blondes’ get in your way of your friendship. Stay Strong, You are an Inspiration for Strong Willed, and Independant Women xoxo
July 26th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Jill-loved reading your blog concerning last nights reunion,but it seemed as though the “blondes” are in their own little world! Alex and Ramona act like some inmature, crazy, physco beings have completely taken over! lol I could tell you were telling the truth & they were acting completely crazy trying to cover up there lies! I can’t wait til next Monday to watch the conclusion to the reunion-I just can’t even fathom how yall will ever be able to be civil again on future seasons to come! The best part about the blog is the happy thing(It brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eyes) That my 2 all time fave. housewives are in contact! Best of luck to you and Bethenny! I love you two! Thanks for keeping it real! Hope to visit NY one day & maybe run into you-your #1 fan-Linda
July 26th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Love you, Jill. Keep being yourself.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
It does appear you have tried to make truce with Alex. Not sure why there is still so much animoisty between you two.
Luann seems like she can be nice if she lost the title of “Countess”. She may know etiquette rules but she doesn’t live it. I was taught that class was not tied to money and I have known a lot of classy people, Luann doesn’t fit the category, sorry. Some people may buy it but they don’t know any better. Yes Luann may have some moments of class, but that’s it.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
You’re great. Keep being yourself. Oh my, what a reunion…
July 26th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
Something I forgot to say in my last post. I watch reruns of the first two seasons of RHONY and I DO miss “Laverne and Shirley.” Oh how I’d love a show on Bravo that featured just Jill and Bethenney.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:22 pm
Personally I think Ramona is very insecure. She is a huge hipocrate and I am shocked that she sells Christian jewelry. She is all about HERSELF. She could careless about anyone else, its really sad. She also looks her age and her hair is always a mess. I really enjoy you Jill, no one’s perfect but you are honest and have class, as for the blondes, I am really embaressed for them. Personally I wouldn’t show my face in public if I were them.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
Jill — I couldn’t watch last night’s reunion show because there was just too much yelling and screaming. I wished that would stop. It is and always has been obvious that you are the better person and that Alex and Simon are both totally nuts. They remind me of Heidi and Spencer — two no-talent, lazy people that are hungry for fame and fortunate, but not willing to put in the work. You and Bobby built a successful business and became the toast, of NYC. You need to stop worrying about what these leaches are saying about you and stop letting them upset you. And, Ramona? She is just plain stupid and can’t hold a candle to you. You have a wonderful family. You’re so lucky to have Bobby. He seems to adore you. You have an excellent relationship with your daughter step children. They seem to love you very much. You couldn’t ask for more! Hang in there and stop letting those leaches get to you.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
Sorry to see you and Alex can’t seem to mend the peace and move on. I really think you two could be good freinds.
Class it not necessarily tied with money or title and Luann may know the rules but she is not a natural. Her true identity shows up many times during filming. She just has lots of confidence to the point where if she said her crap smelled like roses, she would beleive it.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:24 pm
Hi Jill – I found last night’s reunion difficult to watch. So many examples of bad manners and bad behavior. You looked absolutely gorgeous, LuAnn was classy as ever, Kelly was cute and clueless and Cindy was Cindy. As for the other couch – I’m sorry, I have no words. All three of them are so desperate to be relevant it’s truly pathetic. Rudmeana is a drunk, self-absorbed, attention whore. Sonja just comes off as a delusional skank who doesn’t realize that what might be hot on a 25 year old is pathetic and desperate on someone her age. Her dress, behavior and manner are way up there on the EWWWWW meter. Alex is just a joke. She has nothing to offer the show. She’s an unattractive, unemployed, Brooklynite poser who is married to perhaps the creepiest human being on the planet. I’m not sure I can watch the show anymore because quite frankly I find the three “blondes” so difficult to watch it actually makes me angry! Anyway, I wish you well, hope your family and business continue to thrive and if you’re ever in Phoenix I’ll buy you a drink! You’re my favorite cute little Yenta!

The way you handled yourself in the reunion was admirable I would have not been able to keep my cool that long whilst faced with the immature Ramona and the jealous girl Alex. The things Alex let her husband get away with this season is disgusting, no wife should let their husband speak to one of their so called ‘friends’ in that way. Simon was out of line and his mean tweeting is actually ridiculous, him calling you a hypocrit. It frustrates me so much because Alex and Simon are just social climbers, they loved you at the beginning of season 1 when you offered your contacts (e.g the tour of the school) but now they couldn’t care less about who they offend. To me that shows that they use people in attempt to climb the social ladder which is disgusting and unveils many insecurities. Also the way you stuck up for LuAnn was completley correct, whatever issues adults have between themselves is kept between themselves it is outrageous to bring others children into the situation, that is just low and shows an enormous lack of class. You are my favourite housewife because you are genuine, Alex can’t speak her own mind she speaks on behalf of her ‘husband’, Ramona is an immature child, and Sonja can be pretentious but at least she knows what is right and wrong! Go team brunette, you, kelly, cindy and LuAnn are the best by far and make the blondes look far worse than they do already. I cannot wait for part 2 of the reunion! @daniellecuckill(please follow
July 26th, 2011 at 11:26 pm
hi jill…just wanna say you are the only real person on that show…love u & bobby they make no sense!! lol
July 26th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
I have watched every season of all the Housewives and the I have to say that up until this season RHWNYC was my favorite. I’m not sure what happens to all of you, and it has happened on RHWOC and RHWBH, you all start your series being real and we all fall right in and then as every season goes by you all get petty, rude to each other and forget why you all did this in the first place. Now before all the haters start in on me, its just my thoughts and as long as we are all preaching owning it, I think the Girls should all own their behavior. I don’t think that you all need to be or could be best of friends, but even in the real world there are people you will never get along with but have to interact with either socially or professionally and as adults you get through it and live on, you all seem so set on calling each other out and being mean to each other. Get back to your charities, your businesses, your families and every day living that’s what your regular from the beginning fans want to see, not the tearing each other apart stuff that is now status quo.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
Jill,
The best thing I read in this blog was that Bethanny and you are in contact again!! I am so happy for that and hope the the relationship can pull through to the other side! Good luck!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Sorry – One more thought – Bravo seriously needs to get horse-faced Silex off the show. They add nothing and their behavior is beyond low class. Their language, their attire, the behavior, everything. This is supposed to be a show about wealthy, sophisticated women, not unemployed people who live in Brooklyn!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
I have become very disenchanted with Alex this season. She seams so fake with all of the exagerated facial expressions and the way she has to butt into everyone elses business, even when it doesn’t involve her in any way, at the reunion and in Morracco. And the way Simon has become a bully – how can she not see that especially after seeing the episodes and the conversation she had with Simon and his brother about “class.” It just seems to me that they want more air time and will anything to get it. I also think that Ramona critizing LuAnn on her parent skills is ridiculous. I have a funny feeling that if Ramona doesn’t mend her ways, Avery is going to end up a “wild child” very soon. On another note, I’m glad you have reached out to Bethanny and hope you can restart your friendship again. Good luck!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
You obviously speak from the heart. Very sweet side of you.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Jill, I wanted to let you know, I have been a fan of the show since season 1 and i true fan of yours. I have to say, the reunion was had to follow. I could barely hear the discussions happening through my tv, so bless your heart for being able to hear through the cattiness. I applaud you for standing up for your friends, especially Luann. It was remarkable and commendable. I know i would do the same for my friends. I find your honesty refreshing and beautiful.
Also, I am SOOOO happy to hear that you and Bethany are in contact. I always loved the two of you together. An unstoppable friendship team.
PS – Can there PLEASE be shirts made that say “Wrong time and Wrong Place” I think that totally sums up the season.
Love ya Jill!!!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
Jill, you are amazing. I couldn’t keep taking the garbage that Alex and Ramona dish out without exploding, but you are THE LADY! Poor Alex – she is not in the same elite class as you and Luann, but she tries to keep herself on the show. And Ramona? Aside from the fact that she’s a 55 yr old drunk, she shows her marital insecurity with Mario by always saying how “wonderful” her marriage is. I’ve seen Mario look/lust after some of the pretty gals on the show who are NOT the housewives. She’s a sad person, trying desperately to stay young. I love Kelly and Cindy, but you and Luann are the cream of the crop! Hang in there and don’t let Ramonster get away with her nonsense.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
All I have to say is you have class. The blondes seem to get very defensive especially the one with the drinking problem. Now, Alex seems to be in La La Land in every episode. What’s up with all the facial expressions? I really hope that Ramona will not be part of the show next time.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
I loved you from day….your a classy woman with a heart of gold and allot of people envy that. You and Bethanney were really good friends I just wish Bethanney had not let dollars signs come between you both. She really wanted something totally diffrent out of life and you just wanted to be her friend….she weighted you down. Everything in life happens for a reason and believe me Karmas a bitch…stay strong and true to yourself and everything will work out for the best. Besides you have a new bestfreind….Luann and she is way classy too! Take care and good luck with the rest of the show. Patricia
July 26th, 2011 at 11:37 pm
i dont care what the rest of ladies think of u i think dat u r a woman of class so hold ur head high n stand for what u believe in n dont worry abt ramona she is so nosey in everyones business so lots of luv to u n ur family<3<3<3:)
July 26th, 2011 at 11:37 pm
Alex and Ramona are the two worst human beings on the planet. I wanted to vommit watching those animals on the reunion.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:37 pm

July 26th, 2011 at 11:37 pm
Jill,
I love watching you on RHONY. What a season this has been. After watching part 1 of the reunion I was a bit upset with your comment of how you are afraid of Bethany. I really thought you would be in a better place this year. However, if you keep listening to LuAn you may be worse off than ever. You are a strong person stand up do what is right.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
That last quote is perfection! Take the experiences the “blondes” gave you and learn from them. It seems you already have
You are so strong and an inspiration to women everywhere who still deal with “friends” who are stuck in high school. At the end of the day, you should only feel sorry for people like that (if anything). Their lives with never be filled with as much love, peace, and happiness as yours is. Take comfort in the fact that youve made great friends and have a wonderful family. Lastly, my mother once told me about the company I keep, “if you hang out with pigs you’re going to smell like sh**” You will always be on top
July 26th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Jill, I think we all make mistakes in our lives. But it takes a really big person to admit them and also learn from them. That’s what I saw in you this year. Glad to hear that you have been in touch with Betheny.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:42 pm
You’re my favorite housewife! I love seeing a woman who is not afraid to speak her mind and actually have some class — Take note Alex and especially Ramona!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
alex is SO mean to you, i wish she would butt out of your business, jill! keep standing up for yourself, especially about things that you (and the rest of america know are true) i can’t tell you how stupid she looks everytime andy asks you or one of the ladies a question and she interrupts. HELLO, NO ONE WAS TALKING TO YOU ALEX.
i love you jill! if i can ask anything from you, continue to be true to yourself! you’re awesome!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
i dont care what the rest of ladies think of u i think dat u r a woman of class so hold ur head high & stand for what u believe in
& dont even worry abt ramona & alex they r so nosey al in everyones business . and i still pray dat thing will work out for u & bethenney solots of luv to u & ur family<3<3<3:)
July 26th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
Jill, I loved that you stood up and left when Ramona started attacking Luann’s daughter. How dare she?!! One thing you do not do is attack someone’s child, in ANY situation. She has been hitting Luann below the belt all season and you could tell it really hurts Luann. Ramona acted like a child and that ruined her in my eyes for sure! Good for you for standing up for Luann! You looked great too!!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:44 pm
i just know you and bethenny are going to get back to a good and long lasting friendship…..God bless you both….
July 26th, 2011 at 11:44 pm
I think after you watch yourself a couple times you will see Bravo is making you look bad, try to keep the ulgy comments about others to a whisper or not say them at all will help alot. Just saying
July 26th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
I think it’s funny how Alex has to have Simon involved in discussion amongst the group, I don’t know if he wants his 15 minutes, but he is kind of a drag…Good for you and Bethenney, Ramona is so scared of getting older, as you say “knock knock” mother nature is working her wonders on us all…I just like how the brunettes stick up for one another, and even though I am dark blonde, I pick team Jill
July 26th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Hi Jill,
I’ve been watching RHONY since day one and I’ve always admired your directness and usual integrity. I hope that you and Bethany will again be able to be friends as the two of you are both powerful, dynamic women. As for the nonsense from Ramona and Alex, I know you know not to take either of them seriously. I can appreciate the needs of the show, but I hope you don’t lose any sleep over it.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:46 pm
Hi Jill
I just love you and Bobby
Bridgette
July 26th, 2011 at 11:46 pm
The one thing that stood out to me was how Ramona attacked Bobby. I have watched the show since day one and have never seen anyone pick on Bobby. I’m not sure what she meant by saying her husband is so great, and you wish you had one like hers, but you don’t. It seems Bobby treats you like a Queen. If she was referring to Mario being such a King in the Bedroom, it seems so mich of that is for show. What you and Bobby have really seems to be genuine, not so with Ramona & Mario whether he is cheating or not…. Finally, I don’t know what all they did to your face, but your doctor is the best on the planet. I have never had fillers that have done that for me! ( and I am younger than you). You look amazing,,,Bethenny should be the jealous one. Take care!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
When Hollywood twenty something women are caught without panties on, they are raked over the coals by the press. It appears acceptable for Sonja to expose herself by the two other blondes…
No wonder the blondes couldn’t be in LuAnn’s video, they don’t have class…
Kudos to you for sticking up for LuAnn’s children, Ramona is out of control!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:50 pm
Jill,
I cant believe this busy San Francisco Exec. is web surfing and actually writing on a blog -It’s a first and last! I just wanted to say I was really off you for how you treated Bethany. I just remember her face crying out on the street when you acted like a brat and drama queen and did not want to make up with her. Also when you threw how Bobby and you helped her -back in her face. If its from the heart -You don’t keep an accounting! However, you came back and was a better person! -None of us are perfect. I really like you as my favorite again. I like that you didn’t make excuses about past behavior like the others -you called a spade a spade and acted w/ good faith with these catty women. I think your mother and sister are smart -reminds me of my family. I got to see when you tried to give Sonya legal advise and when you were helping Bobby pick out his clothing that your no schlep yourself. Your daughter looked really pretty when you two went shopping and seems like she is very independent now. Jill you’re blessed! If you keep taking the high road and stay above the fray like you did this past season -You Win! They are the one’s who come off bad on TV for all to see. Btw I love how Bobby had your back and told Simone that he was there to protect you! Also love how you looked in the finally with the tan and that is the perfect hair color -Not that it matters but you were the most attractive hands down! You looked great and showed great integrity standing up to Romana on going so low as to talk about the kids. Good for you Jill!
July 26th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Hi Jill!
First of all, I want to introduce myself: My name is Pam and I’m 26 years old and Jewish. I’m a teacher, sister, girlfriend, friend, daughter, granddaughter, niece, etc. I know we don’t have too much in common, but I somehow I find myself with a complete understanding of you, your decisions and your intentions.
I love how down to earth you are, and that you are the same person that I have watched since season 1. I know you’re really hard on yourself about certain things, but I think if every person in the world had to watch him/herself on tv week after week, we’d all be that way! You remind me so much of members of my family, especially my Aunt who is completely fabulous, stylish and says what’s on her mind. I know that I easily relate to you more than the other housewives. I think it takes a really strong person to speak her mind and admit when she’s wrong and you have done that throughout the airing of the Housewives. I know you always have the best of intentions and I try to live my life the same way. I just wanted to tell you to keep doing what you’re doing, because I think you do it well!
I hope you’re having a great summer.
Sincerely,
Pam
July 26th, 2011 at 11:53 pm
Jill, you are amazing! You own it, you keep it real, you apologize when you feel its warranted and you’re still a good person. The Blondes were ridiculous thus season. You tried so hard to be nice to them but they were so ingenuine to you. Everyone talks ably everyone and the only ones who thjnk they’re “holier than thou” are the Blondes. You’re a great role model and I just love you! Thanks for standing up for yourself. BTW, Alex is an fing b*tch..and not the good kind.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:54 pm
I’m so thrilled to hear you and Bethanny are in contact. I was watching the old episodes recently and it made me sad to see how close you were back then. It seems like Ramona and Alex worked hard to ensure that you would NOT be friends with Bethanny. From the beginning Alex and Simon have been social climbers and only care about being in the news… Good or bad! Such losers! Maybe they should focus on themselves and their children. I still ca’t believe Ramona went after the kids?? What’s wrong with her?? Prob drunk on her crappy wine. I was SO proud of you when you stood up for Luanne. Way to go my Long Island sister!!
. Did you see the sweet 16 espisode? Luanne’s daughter is super down to earth and appreciated everything. Luanne seems like an amazing mom considering what she has been thru. Can’t wait to see Part 2! Peace and Love to you and your family.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:57 pm
love u u are the best… u are generous and classy.
July 26th, 2011 at 11:57 pm
You go giiirl!!! I’m a brunette to, so obviously I am TEAM BRUNETTE!! Keep doing your thing! You’re one of the few who’s got some brains. Don’t mind Alex, her life’s to boring so she’s infatuated with yours. You’re beautiful, smart and warm hearted! TEAM JILL ALL THE WAY!! xoxoxoxox
July 26th, 2011 at 11:58 pm
Jill, I can say that we have seen a change in you this season. What a great way to use a difficult season for the good. I must admit I was disappointed in the language you were using at the reunion. I know that the other woman we being rude but I think you are better than that to respond to them the same!
I do wish you the best so please play the game by your rules not theirs! Dianntha
July 26th, 2011 at 11:59 pm
I think you have evolved into a much more positive person. The show is great, keep up the drama…it makes us ALL watch.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:01 am
Jill, I’ve always been a big fan of yours from Zarin fabrics to RHONY! I am so inspired by the way you handle yourself in crazy situations, and I just think you’re awesome!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:02 am
Jill,
I would like to start by saying how much I love the show and how much I think you bring to it, it wouldn’t be the same without you. But, with that being said, I do have to be honest and let you know that from watching this season I was on team Ramona and Sonja or Team Ramonja as Andy called it. They always seemed to have a lighter mood when they were having fun, and they owned their “catty meanness”. They know they talk bad about the other woman, wish all of you would own it! Is Ramona out of line most times, certainly, but you and the other Housewives know what to expect. I still don’t understand the drama over her kicking you off the island (from the viewers perspective it did seem out of no where that you and bobby appeared) ….I wish we could know more that what you all discuss on camera! It seems you and Ramona have an oil and vinegar relationship, complete opposites but in the end it works. I hope you ladies work things out, especially for next season, as much as you all don’t get along the show just wouldn’t be the same with out any one of you!!! Also, I’d love to read a tell all book by Jill Zarin, hopefully you are thinking up something in the works. Also, it is great to hear about you and Bethenny being in contact. Take care!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:03 am
Hi Jill!
I wanted to first compliment you on your hair which looked fabulous! Also how you stay true to yourself which I respect, you are not trying to impress anyone, you are just being you… also standing up for Luann when the others were trying to drag the children into it.. totally not necessary. Your lives are under a magnifying glass to the extreme who wants to bring your children into it? Keep your head up!! Love the show!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:03 am
Hi Jill,
I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely admire you and think you are fantastic.
After watching the first part of the reunion, it is apparent that Alex does not belong on the show, she never has. She is trying everything to get a story line, whether that means to be mean for no apparent reason and latching onto anyone that will befriend her. I hope she leaves the show soon. I love the fact that there are so many successful women on this show and it makes me strive to be a better person.
When I watch the “Watch what happens” aftershow, the best line was when Neil Patrick Harris said “Alex, you mean the one who looks like Frankenstein and gets into everyones business” It only took him one episode to see the truth.
Just remember you have alot of fans who support you and admire you. Its ok to tell someone to F Off, sometimes that is the only appropriate word to use. Keep up the good work!
A Fan Forever!!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:06 am
Hi Jill,
I think you are the most gracious, intelligent, fun loving and beautiful person inside and out on RHONY, you are the most consistant person, your love for your family, friends and life show through your actions and words, don’t ever change and don’t ever be afraid to be you. You are the reason I watch the show.
BRAVO TO JILL
July 27th, 2011 at 12:06 am
jill, you are definately a class act. at least you are being true to yourself, unlike alex and simon who grab onto the coat tales of the elite social circle in NY. they really do need to get a life. ramona is an immature 50 year old that should be ashamed of her behavior., sonja is just caught up in it and is just looking for friends, picked wrong side. jill you really did a great job sticking up for luanns parenting, ramona looks like she spends more time drinking and partying then with her daughter. My best enjoy the hamptons.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:10 am
I do hope you and Bethenny do try and salvage your friendship. You guys had something special that the rest of the girls did not. The show has not been the same with out the both of you on it. Not saying she will come back but it would be nice to see a few episodes with you and Bethenny working things out or you going on her show. I do watch the show and believe everyone should just take ownership of their actions and move on.
Its a show and people should not send hate mail or e-mails we are all human and make mistakes.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:12 am
So why doesnt anyone talk more about the fact that ramona’s husband cheats on her? he obviously does, you can tell just by the way he looks at other women. ramona should make him take a lie detector test so that she can finally know the truth -since she claims to think he doesnt. ramona really needs to step back and see how crazyyyy she looks during this past season! and i cannot believeeeeee she thought she was pregnant…the wine has gone to her head.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:14 am
Hi Jill,
I just got thru watching the reunion show. {sadly I was unable to watch it live last night}. First, let me just say that you, Kelly, Cindy, and Luann were the only Ladies there. I don’t know how not one of you did not get up and dope slap Ramona and or Alex. They acted like such idiots. They should be embarrassed at the way they acted. You are so right when you say Ramona can’t back anything up. She never has and probably never will. Alex is as delusional and stupid as the day is long. I can’t stand watching her and Romana at all. Please Jill be so proud of yourself. You are an AMAZING, CARING, LOYAL friend and we should all have someone like you in our own circle of friends.
I could go on and on about how much my friends love you, Kelly, Cindy and Luann. May you always know you have more fans that love you and truly care about you.

Jill, last night was truly a disaster and very, very sad. I hope maybe you all can see each other without a camera and find some peace together so that the show can continue. The way it is now, based on last night, I honestly don’t see how you can all work/play together again. It was painful to watch.
On a more positive note, I’m so happy you and Bethany have made contact and I hope you can find your friendship again. It’s amazing what you can do without the camera’s eye. I lost a friend for many years, but we made our way back. Bethany is a class act and I believe you were true friends. I wish you well rebuilding your friendship together.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:16 am
I LOVE your quote….“You stop lying about me and I’ll stop telling the truth about you.” Ramona can’t handle the truth, notice how her eyes bug out when she’s lying or she feels trapped in a lie. The blonds are insane this season. I wish you the best and I truly hope you and Bethenny can make up.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:18 am
I love the show, and just love you! Continue to be yourself, you tried to make amends with Alex and it was a waste of your time. I can’t stand her she is such a follower, and her husband is GAY!!! it will soon come out. He can’t stay in the closet forever.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:25 am
Jill,
You look amazing. Alex is frightening on so many levels and Simon is creepy. They should both climb back into the cabinet! And remember – it is only mean if it isn’t true! Love watching you!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:31 am
I enjoyed the show last night. However, I am in agreement with most that the blondes are very irratating. I have never liked Ramona, and do not understand the need for her on the show. Alex and Simon just seem like the kids you did not want to be friends with in school. They both are just strange. Sonja tries to hard to be interesting so she can get air time. Kelly has made such good progress with becoming likable. Last year she would speak about herself in one way, but did not act that way. I found it interesting that everyone wanted us to feel simpathy for Sonja’s divorce, or the possible problems of Ramona, yet they made every effort to unbury the pain that LuAnn has finally recovered from. What came as such a shock to me, was that I was under the understanding that ladies from NY that were high sociaty had class. And the blonde’s have never show any class. In my option, a RHONY with yourself, LuAnn, Kelly, and yes Bethany would make a much more interesting show. I liked Cindy very much, but just did not feel she fit in very well. For you I just did not think you got enough air time this year. I find you the most interesting, and yet I felt I was stuck watching Ramona and Sonja. I absolutely love your relationship with Bobby, and he is definately the classiest husband on the show. Best wishes, looking forward to seeing the Reunion Part 2. And hope you have a great summer.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:37 am
Jill, I love your hair! Just had to get that across to you. Since the first moment I watch RHWONY you were my favorite housewife. I hope you and Bethenny patch things up….your husband is hilarious and he looks like a very nice nice man. God bless you and your family Jill and screw Alex and Ramona….their just jealous bitches. xoxo
July 27th, 2011 at 12:37 am
I love you guys!!! You were so beautiful last night. My husband even made a comment about how you looked like an Egyptian princess with the jewelry and straight hair. I am proud of the way you stand up for your friends and wish the other girls could be as real and transparent as you. Don’t let Ramona get to you and please don’t stoop to her level (by talking about her marriage). You have a wonderful family that loves you and the most genuine of relationships with your husband and daughter.
Lastly, will you please follow me on twitter. You would be my first follower. Thanks and best of luck!! Counting the days until the next season premieres!!
PS…How are things going with Bethenny? Do you ever see her?

Hi Jill! I thought you were amazing at the reunion and I’ve been an up and down fan of yours. But I thought you were great last night! I have always been a fan of Ramona’s but last night her comments towards you and Luann I thought were unacceptable and she went down several, several notches in my book. I was appalled at the comment she made about being grateful for a wonderful husband like Mario because she knows your’s is not. WOW! I must say one of the things that I like most about you is that you are an AMAZING mother, wife, and devoted family member. I have always thought Bobby was a wonderful man. While I don’t pretend (or expect to know) the details of your relationship with your husband — it was really uncalled for that Ramona said that about Bobby — who has always been gracious and a gentleman in anything I’ve ever seen on the show. I’m really sorry that you were on the receiving end of that comment and so I wanted to post that on your page. Best wishes to you for everything that you embark on. You impress me all the time and I can’t wait to buy some of your new shapewear!! I remember your comment to Bobby when you were getting out of the car at the wedding at the beginning of the season about needing Spanks in better colors. I’m very impressed that you took that and ran with it. It looks great! I hope they are easier to get on than Spanks!! LOL! I have lost 150lbs from Lap-Band surgery so I have a lot of loose skin and I really need to start wearing shapewear until I can get surgery to remove excess skin (then I hope my belly looks like Sonja’s!!!)
July 27th, 2011 at 12:48 am
Jill, I think u and the other brunettes are classy ladies. The blondes are a different story. Ramona is an acholohic, drunk on camera, yet won’t be in LuAnnes video becaus it might send her daughter the wrong message…her drunkeness doesnt? And So0nia, forgetting her panties and flashing Kelly…real classy and what an example for her daughter. Alex is a train wreck..she is delusional and needs help. Stay classy Jill…..let the others self destruct
July 27th, 2011 at 12:50 am
I’m just happy to hear that you and Bethanny have been in contact. True friends can work through anything, and it sure seemed like the two of you were true friends.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:51 am
Alex is so ugly on the inside as she is on the outside it was uzzing right out of her pores she’s disgusting and quite frankly desperate what a loser answering questions that weren’t even directed towards her , I was so embarrassed for her when they replayed the episode were Sonja threw her out of her house like a dog LOL you can forgive that humiliation but you can’t forgive the other ladies? She’s delusional and just desperate to fit in anywhere and since she’s not a Burnett….. As far as Ramona and crazy Sonja I’m lost for words? Sonja needs to move on from the Churchill’s and Winston darling LMAO and cover up your ass seriously your classless thats just nasty your old you might not look it thank to your $$ but you are!!! Act your age and poor Ramona trying so hard to convince everyone she still has a period LMAO!!! That’s why you still look young? Maybe the Botox has a little something to do with that haha, but I was really disgusted by Ramona’s behavior talking about luann’s kids wat a dirt bag!! Cindy also acted a little crazy, but I probably would also if I had to deal with psycho’s, alcoholics and delusional divas LMAO! Jill ur still my favorite and your a good friend to Luann
luv ya darling!!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:53 am
I have been a faithful watcher of RHoNY since day one. I wish you would take a good, long look at yourself and what you have become. I used to be a huge fan and was firmly “Team Jill” after Season one, sadly that is no longer the case. I will be interested to see if this comment makes it to your blog. It seems that only the complimentary comments are published.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:55 am
LOVE you Jill! You and LuAnn are the best.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:55 am
Jill, you are definitely my favorite real housewife. You have made a positive transformation this past season. You handle conflict well and address others with respect. You take the high road far more than the others. You are a role model for the other ladies. I can tell that you totally reinvented yourself and are a wonderful person. Bobby is also a gentle soul who has alot of grace in how he deals with others. What a great couple!
July 27th, 2011 at 12:58 am
Jill what is the deal with Rosonja, are they drunk, high or what. They behaved so rudley when someone was trying to talk? It was madding to watch. Alex as well. Sonja is alway perching her lips shaking her hair and referring to the Churchills? Oh good lord. Can Bravo do something with Ramonas eyes. There scary. Maybe fix her teeth. Shes on TV. She can afford all that bleach for her hair she should at least get her upper lip fix and her teeth. Tell her viewers would rather she her less jittery. They way her husband looks at Sonjohna. Also, tell Sonjohna to dress her age.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:59 am
I am so glad you have been in contact w/Bethenney. My fave episodes were always the ones with scenes of you together, so funny! I especially loved the scene when she was showing your beautiful daughter how to cook. I have to say this season was so different. There were times I liked and disliked the behaviour of every person but I really disliked what Kelly said about Sonja’s home. It was uncalled for & very mean. You looked gorgeous though and I look forward to part 2 of the reunion!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:02 am
I love you Jill but I believe it was LuAnn that kept you from making up with Bethenny and I really can’t stand narcissistic Ramona, the walking infomercial, I think she wanted you to mend the friendship with Bethenny but LuAnn pulled you away at Ramonas and LuAnn was sitting with you when you told Bethenny you were done. Wouldn’t you have loved to have been a fly on the wall at Ramona’s when Avery was watching the episode of her 54yr old Mom in her silky little negligee trying to get her massage on with her Dad. That poor child had to go to school the next day! Ramonas massaging and Alexs’ modeling for Simon in her sexy outfits has been burnt in my brain! Rosie the housekeeper said LuAnn didn’t spend time with her kids but Avery said her parents didn’t either. I love your Bawby he always has the best of intentions!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:03 am
The you wish you had a husband like mine comment made me gasp out loud!
Rameena WISHES she had a husband like booby! If you have to keep saying I have had a wonderful marriage for 18 years now its fine over and over I wonder who you are trying to convince? You say it enough you believe its true?! Thats how it comes across to me!
She needs to stop saying weekend mum it doesn’t matter if your there every day but never see you kid a weekend mum may actually do more and be more consistent than never being home or having dinner with your child!
When are they going to sack alex and her stupid husband? Why is he consistently the only husband in the show!?!? Seriously so sick of seeing him in every episode like he is a show headliner get a job and get a life Simon! Should of been kicked off for using the c word a couple of times how disgustedly low can you be backyard bitching and name calling while talking of class and manners ugh
Glad to hear you made contact with bethany maybe with out people butting in and cameras you 2 can be friends again and not have people meddle for air time!
love to all from the uk!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:09 am
I cannot stand Ramona! She reminds me of a bobble head when she reacts to everything, and thats all she does is react instead of shutting her insesent mouth and listening then giving anything a meaningful personal thought! Sonya and Ramona make me sick the way they just use Alex and Alex has definetly turned into someone I cannot stand either besides the fact she looks like bride of the dead, lol…but anything will do for her you could tell where she stood with relationships among all the women with where she sat which was on the outskirts amoung you. If ramona and Sonya loved her so much why didnt they seat Alex inbetween them? I think her husband is seriously a repressed gay man perpetrating to be straight the way he cares about fashion so much and his wives relationship’s. If my husband cared that much I’d ask hin seriously whats wrong with you!? Ramona gets no points with me for bringing up anyones children! What a hypocrite and she didnt even get LuAnn’s comment about how she is lucky how her daughter turned out the way she supossidly spends so much time with her, what a void! That was hillarious. She’s just lashing out at the shadows, she knows in her heart her husband is having numerous affairs on her and I seriously wouldnt be suprised if it wasn’t with Sonjya the way those two act around eachother. Let me know if I’m right about anything. I think you and the brunetts are just lovely and I’m so so glad you and Bethanny are working twords a reunited relationship. Great job all of you!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:11 am
Jill, you were a class act on the reunion and have been throughout the season, you have totally redeemed yourself from the sad ending with Bethenny last year. You are right on to say that families and children are totally and utterly off limits, it is a mantra we should all live by. Ramona is totally out of order to judge how people raise their children or comment on state of their marriage. She is in denial, plain and simple. I love, love, love Bobby and your daughter is adorable, don’t ever stop being you. Honesty is always the best policy. Love you Jill. Xxx thanks for a great season.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:12 am
Jill,
When you called Alex a f’ing bitch last night I about died, but that was the best line on the show! You’re still one of my favorites…hope to someday make it to the big apple and meet a few of you. Dig you, Jill!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:14 am
I have watched RHONY since the first season. I am team Jill. U r my favorite on the show. The blondes really get on my nerves. Especially,Ramona she really doesn’t get it at all.I really wanted to tell her that she really needed to leave LuAnn children out of it. She really needs to worry about what is going on in her family life.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:18 am
I am for team since season one. U r my favorite. Ramona really needed to leave LuAnn children out of it. She should worry about what is going on at home. The blondes really need to cool it. They act like that they are in high school.Go team Jill!!!!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:19 am
Bravo Jill!
You are head and shoulders above Ramona. The kids are off limits, pretty simple rule but pretty simple Ramona was still too simple to get it and too ugly inside to respect it. Ramona may think her life is great but she is NOT an emotionally sober person. I think she is addicted to the rush she gets from the digs, drama, and conflict, wrongly thinking that making others miserable will make her feel better. Seeing Ramona and Alex’s conversations they had before that wedding made me sick. They were almost giddy and drooling in hopes of what? Hurting their “friend?” I think they are now coworkers, not friends. I will never purchase anything remotely related to that Ramona women.
About three years ago, I was with my three children in a long security line at Newark airport, and I recognized your beautiful daughter with her friend behind us in the line. They were comparing their passport photos, smiling, happy, they even looked and giggled at my teenager, who was visibly miserable being stuck with Mom and two bickering little brothers. I smiled at them, but didn’t talk to them or point them out to anyone, it’s respect.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:26 am
You and Countess Lulu are my Fave. I’ve said it from day one, Alex doesn’t belong with you girls. She’s so out of place and insecure. She just doesn’t have the NY business woman confidence. Her and Simon are both unemployed so they have to create controversy to get a show of their own. She’s such a phony actor. She should be on the housewives of Kansas City.
Ramona…. I feel bad for her. Her husband definitely has a wondering eye. A couple of seasons ago he was having lunch with her and checking out this girl that was passing by right in front of her. She also needs AA. I like her dUghter but she’s a brat. Luanne’s daughter on the other hand is such a sweetheart. So grateful for her party. Ramona is jealous of Luanne. She wish she could have a hot young French lover too. By the way, she can use some fillers around her mouth. You look gorgeous, fresh and rejuvenated. It’s almost as if you just had a facial. You don’t look pulled or crazy like some HW. I love it. In 15 years I may need your dr’s name. He’s dynamite! I’m glad you and Bethenny are talking but be cautious that woman can Hirt you. I’m so not a fan of hers. I hated the way she treated you and how she talks about Jason’s parents. That’s the same reason why Patti Singer stopes being her friend. But stay in the positive but don’t get hurt again. People forgot how Bethenny treated you before all that. And stop saying anything about the other girls behind their backs if you haven’t told them to their faces first.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:27 am
I am a very new viewer, only having seen a handful of shows. I feel like I watched the show very objectively without any past prejudices. In that light, I thought Ramona appeared to be insane. How else can you explain her behavior, particularly the comments to Luann. For the sake of her own daughter, she needs to get off of the show and seek professional help. I hope she understands how low she has sunk.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:34 am
Jill. I absolutely love you. Of all of the wives, you are my favorite. Even though I am 10 yrs. older than you and blonde(sorry), I would just like to see you get up and gag Alex and knock the Pinot out of Ramona. You make the two of them look like gutter garbage. Sorry I held back. XO Cheryl
July 27th, 2011 at 1:47 am
From the onset, the RHONY were my favorites. However, this season and especially last night’s reunion were nothing but a disappointment. I have never witnessed such a lack of manners, class and use of foul language among self-proclaimed “society ladies” or anyone. I suppose it is true that money does not buy you class. Watching you ladies last night was like watching a Jerry Springer episode. Also, it is quite obvious that this show is now scripted, so there is no too much reality. Right now, it would work as a sitcom. Frankly, I think Bravo should consider recasting New York. What a shame. Please advise Luann to choose another career. Whisper in her ear YOU CAN’T SING.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:50 am
Glad to hear u and bethany r communicating. I think u gals can put ur differences aside and progress towards the friendship u and her once shared. In all fairness Jill, after watching the episode again, I do feel bethany was being sincere and honest and had no intentions of ambushing u, with some valid points as well. Just an opinion …
July 27th, 2011 at 1:51 am
Last night was tough to watch – I’m not an Alex fan, but can’t understand why Kelly and Luannes opinions are so much more valuable to you – they both are equally dismissive of others – say things that hurtful and yet are never apologetic or held accountable by you or themselves – which is what you don’t like about Alex this year. Maybe its me – I have always liked you and you’d be a great girlfriend to have – based on your choices of cast mates this season – one seems to be just as obnoxious as the other and I can’t understand why you accept and or condone the bad behaviors Kelly and Luanne display – which I don’t see as being any different than Alex and Ramona – best wishes to you hope you’re all finding happiness
July 27th, 2011 at 1:56 am
Jill, I find it amazing that Ramona attacked Luann’s kids yet YOU were reprimanded relentlessly for making an innocent comment about Alex’s boys. Didn’t Ramona come after you for that also? She conveniently has a short memory. She also doesn’t remember when her OWN daughter told her how lonely it is to live in a NYC apartment BY HERSELF because her 55 year old mother and father are never home. So sad. Ramona really needs to move on from others and take a good look at her own life.
July 27th, 2011 at 1:56 am
Jill,
I was so happy to see you stand up for yourself and also to Ramona about her comments regarding LuAnn’s children. That is totally out of line for Ramona. Seriously it is hard enough being a teenager in this society and then to add to it to have some 54 year old woman making problems. Maybe Ramona needs to get a life! And also…since when is it okay for any man to yell at a woman or shove her? Alex and Ramona think that is okay?? That is not okay! These women are mean and vindictive… They accuse you but can seem to bring any examples. They are plain and simple full of it!!!
July 27th, 2011 at 2:07 am
Hi Jill
, can you please tell us what eye shadow did you wear? It was gorgeous! Thx
July 27th, 2011 at 2:10 am
Jill, I appreciate your honesty more than anything else on the show… And I’m glad to see that your s and bethanys friendship got out of rsmonas manipulative claws.
July 27th, 2011 at 2:11 am
Jill!
First of all, you look great; I think that Luann, Kelly & yourself looked wonderful in the video and you are a good sport and supportive friend. Everyone gossips from time to time,and that’s just the way we are as women,(I hate that he other ladies deny it and act like angels) but I dont think you do anything with bad intentions or to hurt anyone, yet that crew seem to love to rake you over the coals for no real reason possible. I’m convinced that they are jealous of your ability to be truthful and open (as you were in last season’s reunion with everything that happened with Bethenny), and it is obvious that Ramona almost forced you to ome to “crazy” island and then attacked you when it the other ladies couldnt handle your being there…they couldnt handle the fact that you would fly down out of the goodness of your heart! They obviously are jealous and want to have a constant problem wit you with no basis whasoever!
Dont worry what that mutinous crew says, they flip flop opinions because they are afraid to lose social allies (Alex and Simon especially who are desperate to hold onto whatever connections they have)…and PS there is nothing wrong with the word class, and Alex conveniently misinterprets Luann’s song.Sh is ever-ready to snip at yopu on camera and act like she is always doing the right thing by everyone~ mind your business nosy!!
Kudos to Bobby for sticking up for you with Simon! And a true friend says to wear your jewelry in health, they dont make fun of your diamonds just because they are jealous (Ramona)!
Stay positive & I hope you and Bethenny keep taking steps towards a closer relationship!
TEAM JILL!!
July 27th, 2011 at 2:18 am
Im so proud of you u stood up for yourself and your friends.. I think you tried to hard to be so nice to the mean drunk girls and Alex who is just trying to stay on the show and nobody want her on the show and that husband of hers snakes all the blondes are snakes Bug eyes being the biggest Drunk of all.
July 27th, 2011 at 2:23 am
Hi Jill – I want to say I have been a fan…all throughout..even last season, I thought u were given an unfortunate edit…both you and Bethenny did the same things, but for some reason you were given the bad edit….I am glad the public is back on your side this year..and seeing how crazy and fake Alex really is…I agree with Kelly that she is an Alexa…each season we get a new Alex…even on the reunion she is chomping at the bit to be included in the convo, where her input isn’t requested or needed…so glad u put her in her place…You should just ignore her from now on..she is a negative waste of space….About you and Ramona…I am dissapointed in how you both choose to handle it…something about your relationships takes u both to a low and negative place…from blasting on twitter…to taking digs at each other…I am glad you try to take the high road…but please just wash ur hands of it…Nothing is worth compromising your dignity…
Lastly I think you should make this your last season with Real Housewives and shop your own show around to another network besides Bravo…I don’t think Andy and Bravo like you very much, and will try to cast you as the villian as much as possible..you have been the star of the show..and they constantly disrespect you..I would leave on a high note..you can walk away with ur head held high! Best of luck
July 27th, 2011 at 2:25 am
Jill I have truly come to like both you and Luann and Cindy but Kelly is so wrong in so many ways. She hears what she wants to hear and never remembers the crazy mean things she says. Please if she is truly your friend get that girl some help! Btw you did look so pretty last night.
July 27th, 2011 at 2:29 am
Jill,
Loved the show, but honestly here is what I do not get, I have watched from day one…..WTF is going on with Ramona? She has acted since day one….like she is 12 yrs old. Lets remember the renew crap from last yr…to her “not wanting to give her daughter the wrong message?” Does she ever watch herself on the show? Because if she did, she would see how stupid and immature she acts. She and Sonja at Luanns anniversery party with the pregnancy thing…it was just beyond words. I am happy to say that you and Luann, and Kelly and Cindy at least can conduct yourselves with dignity. Yes, we are all cynical, and make comments about one another, but usually they are right on, and what most people are thinking anyway.
Please reconsider your friendship with Ramona, and Alex, she is nothing but a wannabe anyway. I mean really? I would swear her husband is gay. I see nothing that she and her husband bring to the show. They just follow everyone else along, they attend everyone’s parties, they never have anything of their own. You have charities that you throw events for, other than Brooklyn fashion week, what did they do? Marriage Equality? Wow, do you really think it got passed because of anything that they did?
I am baffeled that they are even allowed on the show, they need to go, along with Ramona
July 27th, 2011 at 2:39 am
Jill i love u you are real. Great mother and wife. That was a low blow for Ramona to say that shit about Luann’s marriage, who the hells is she, that was terrible. Alex is trash, i was so glad when Niel Patrick Harris said she look frankenstieny. She is ugly I cannot believe she is modeling its gross. her and Simon are quiete a pair. As for Ramona she said she was pregnant to be in the spot light of the last episode her and Sonja shame on them. Love u Jill, Luann, Kelly and Cindi you are all real.
July 27th, 2011 at 2:50 am
Hey Jill. Its so hard to think these blondes could possibly be accepted in any social circles. Ramona – the liquor just exaggerates her bad behavior and is adding years. Sonja’s child must be so embarrassed by mommy showing all for national tv. Alex and Simon just exude bad karma. Jill, we enjoy watching you and Bobby showing some maturity among those losers. Go team brunettes. Don’t sink to the blondes crude attempts of bullying, and childlike attitudes. Stay strong as you have before.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:01 am
Jill I adore you. Not only are you a beautiful woman wife and Mother you are a great friend. My only sorrow I would say I feel for you is your ended relationship with Bethenny. I hope you both can repair your relationship someday. I can not stand Alex. Who does she think she is? If you ever leave the housewives you should do a talk show. I for one would watch it everyday. God bless you and your family and keep the beautiful smile and love you have for all.
Debi <3
July 27th, 2011 at 3:22 am
Jill, I am so glad to see you return back to yourself. When you held the grudge a little longer than I would have like to see, you lost a few cool points with me, but when you admitted that you should have given her a chance and you actually tried to mend fences with her then you just confirm what I already knew about you and that you are just a great girl. Then I got mad with you when you went over and above what was necessary to befriend Bethany and her and her friends for the season just ate it up in my opinion. Jill, I like you out of all the housewives because you are the only one that functions like a real person. You are the only one that will admit that all of you talk about each other on and off the camera, you seek business opportunities out right as you should because you are a business woman, you admit when you are at fault and you expect certain things when it comes to your friends, which is how real people act. The biggest issue I have with people is hypocrisy and unfortunately, the housewives across the board have it bad, but I am glad you point it out.
I think that you were reasonable with what you expected out of Bethany when your husband was ill. Bethany was always my favorite, but when she started making a name for herself she changed. Just as an FYI, most people with Bethany’s family dynamic won’t have the same appreciation and affection for friends and family. Oftentimes, when they attain a family of their own, they put everything into bonding with that family unit and friends and distant family members cease to exist in their world. Normally, they have a problem with commitment and all relationships including friendships.
This is something that I have wanted to make sure that you guys know and understand. You remember when Kelly had a supposed breakdown on scary island? I really hope that you and LuAnn realized that Kelly did not have a breakdown. If you look at when the whole thing started, Kelly was expressing to them that she did not want to spend time talking behind your back. I think Kelly just got tired of being picked on and hearing rude comments about her friends and because Kelly expresses her feelings differently, when she tried to defend herself against a pack of wolves, of course it did not come out right and her nerves got the best of her and you should appreciate a friend like that. You notice that Alex, Ramona and now Sonja have to gang up on people and I love the fact that the rest of you can take them on solo.
I am a very detailed and analytical person and the people that are giving you grief or that call you a bully are pretty much passive people and those that don’t look at the situations entirely. There is no reason for you guys not to call out each other for some of the behavior on that show. They called Kelly strange but Ramona, Alex and Sonja has acted like they needed to be in counseling. Alex attitude has changed and I really like Simon more although he has his moments, but he is now much more tolerable than Alex.
I wish you much success and I think that you have a lovely family.
July 27th, 2011 at 3:23 am
Jill,
Like many others, I have watched RHWNY from the beginning and you have always been my favorite. I was so disappointed and sadden when I saw your friendship with Bethenny fall apart. I’m very happy to hear that you two are in contact. I hope that you two can work everything out. It was clear from the show that you two really loved and cared for each other. On another note, I thought you looked beautiful on the reunion show. I must say, like I said on FB, I could not believe how you ladies acted with the constant talking over each other and such negativity. I applaud you for standing up for yourself, but I wish that the show didn’t show how such negativity. Even Andy couldn’t control the situation and had to tell you ladies to “shut the F up!” I was a but applauded because regardless of how I may feel about each individual person (I can’t stand Alex, and don’t get me started on Simon!!!), you are all successful women and have daughters. I know that most of you are better than how you ladies were portrayed yesterday. I’m so disappointed that I don’t know if I can watch the 2nd part. While I know that if everything was “great” between all you ladies it may not make good TV to watch, I can’t seem to understand why some of you ladies are friends. I hope that you know that Ramona and Alex are not your friends, not in the true meaning of friendship. I hope that you get rid of that negativity away from you and “cut your loses” as they say. I wish you the best in everything. I can’t wait for your Skweez Couture to come out. Please keep us inform when and where!!!
P.S. I love that you’re a Sagittarius bc I am too!!! No wonder your so fabulous!!! ha haha Muah!

Hi Jill , i like many others have said in their posts , have watched every season of this show! I really love all of you , and all for different reasons i guess! I really thought luanne ( sorry for spelling) handled herself very nicely on this reunion, i wasnt a huge fan of her this season , but seeing her handle everything so nicely ( except for romona who probably had it coming lol) really made me gain respect back for her again!! But i honestly couldnt even understand a lot of what was being said , it literally gave me a headache with all the high pitched shouting going on! lol But , guess thats how it goes when you have a bunch of women in one room with all having strong personalities! I have 5 sisters so believe me i get it! lol The one thing i think that really shocked me the most about this reunion, besides ramona going after the kids ( sooo sad how jealous she is of luanne’s daughter obviously) but other then that was romona coining the phrase ” the brunettes” i just about fell out of my chair laughing , because who the hell says that , like she was back in the 6th grade calling out the different clicks! So i was a little shocked to read that you had put ” the blondes” in your comment above that you shared! You are way above that , i think you have obviously made mistakes and maybe said things you shouldnt have , but i have ALWAYS respected the part of you that is able to say ” mmmm yeah i did say that , maybe that was wrong of me , and im sorry” nothing that the other women seem to know how to do , just keep being you , your my favourite for many reasons ofcourse but mostly because you are so genuine and the most honest person on the show , and probably on any reality television show that i have ever watched!! I think your great!
July 27th, 2011 at 3:36 am
Were we all watching the same show? All I saw were seven women trying to scream over each other and finally Andy Cohen was pushed to the edge! If you call each other friends, it shouldn’t matter if some went to do LuAnn’s video & some chose not to. It’s their right. They are adults. Alex is living the Stockholm syndrome. She has a husband who controls her hook, line & sinker so that explains her poor behavior! Cindy is the most refreshing & down to earth! Jill I’m still waiting to play doubles with you! Can’t wait for the next season!
July 27th, 2011 at 3:37 am
Jill, I’ve loved you from the start! You remind me of my best friend growing up on Long Island. I am disappointed in Sonja. She has gotten herself all caught up in the drama. I think the only reason Bravo keeps Alex on the show is so the show can have the “villian” in Simon. She’s so boring!!! And very insecure. Luann has won me over this season. I loved it when Natalie Cole told her what a classy lady she is! What’s up with Alex and the “c” word? Natalie Cole uses it so how could it be bad? You have class to sweets! Keep being real and true!
July 27th, 2011 at 3:40 am
Hi Jill! Glad to see your blog about the reunion! Again I just want to give KUDOS to you for stepping up and standing up for your friends and for yourself! Ramona and Alex were like the mean girls of high school. With all of Ramina’s “success” it probably went into her head, I’m so surprised how she managed to fit her big fat arrogant head inside the studio-her atrack ob LuAnn and towards her daughter is inexcusable, a dispicable behaviour only “A Ramona” can very well execute, and Alex, I used to like her when she was a bit tamed and had her head on her shoulder, those times where common sense somehow flutters around that hollow skull, she looked ridiculous and tried to make point of petty petty stuff, it is amazing how low she had gone after so much Hanging out with Ramona. I never liked Ramona from the get go, her arrogance and demeanor can only be characterized by comparing her to an illiterate uneducated narcissist, success does not make who you are, you can have all the money in the world but respect and the way the world will percieve you is something you can’t buy. She really has gone the skidrow of classless human beings- try to stay far from her, we don’t watch you catching a “ramona” it’s seems that she is an infectious disease…look at Alex for example.
Best to u Jill, your true friends are lucky to have you.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:04 am
Jill,
could not have said it better myself. That last line described this season perfectly. The blondes continue to run their mouths but your doing the right thing and telling the truth. Continue to be the honest and respectful person you are because it shows. Good luck to you and Betheny!
July 27th, 2011 at 4:17 am
Am I the only one who finds Sonja’s actions towards Ramona’s husband a little odd? (And when she had the meltdown in Morocco about her being afraid ramona’s husband would cheat. It seems to me that every time mario and sonja are together there seems to be some big secret. Secondly Jill it was very admirable of you to stand up for the children! I really like you and like what you portray on the show.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:26 am
I think Bobby is one smart Man, If everyone would follow his lead it would be a better place for all. I don’t know where
Ramona gets off thinking she can say anything she wants to people and “if they can’t handle it, it is not her problem” Yes it is her problem for talking to people like she does. Alex may have found her voice this year but she does get a little dramatic when getting involved.
stay sweet and own who you are, there is nothing wrong with that.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:27 am
Jill! You are my favorite NYC housewife! (and my mom’s too)
I absolutely loved the way you came to Luann’s defense at the reunion when Ramona started talking about her daughter. LEAVE HER KIDS ALONE!!!! That was AWESOME. I can’t believe Ramona, that was so low of her. She really needs to GROW UP!
Team Brunette all the way!!!! I agree with Neil Patrick Harris when he said “the blondes are trouble”. Lol
Stay your fabulous self and I can’t wait for the next season!!
July 27th, 2011 at 4:44 am
Welcome back hon!!! i have missed u!
i have been watching RHWNYC since the very first episode u have always been my favorite! Such a strong, loving, kind woman. Never are u bragging of what u have or who u know. I never liked Alex from the begining all she talked about is where she could b seen, how to climb the later of society and neither her or Simon have class! Simon is Gay they have some kind of agreement maybe to fix his papers, lol 
to become a citizen its something, that i am sure of!! WOW!! hey! maybe Alex is REALLY a man! for reals u can tell she is taking hormone pills,cuz she is starting to look a “little” not to much just a “litte” femine. U were so kind to them and made them a part of the group even though they just do not fit in. Simon really thinks he is a woman. Bethany was more then a friend to “u” she was family. Because of ur kind heart u could not see who she really was!! Sorry,I know u still care very much for her because u r loyal to ur friends! No one liked drunk “crazy coke eyes” so last year she kept saying “i changed” not for the better! crazy coke eyes changed into a bigger drunk!!! she turned into a kiss ass, back stabbing, two faced crazy woman! Luv, LuAnn, Kelly and Cindy good woman! U befriended Sonja she didn’t like Ramona to much. Romona and Bethany talked so bad about Alex, Simon and her children yet Alex kissed thier butts and all U did was repeat what they told u how the kid was climbing someone’s leg!! Now sonja this year put alex down and put her in her place over and over “crazy coke eyes” and bethany last year put alex down, talked about her home, her husband simon!because Ramona and bethany were siding against u last year alex jumped on the band wagon!! since sonja is an old lady drunk it wasn’t long before crazy coke eyes were bestie!! when i said welcome back it was because u were so sad and heart broken last year, u had every right to b “hurt” with Bethany she knows she was wrong! if she doesn’t see it then, she was not a true friend. It had to b so hard for u with ur “husband” in the hospital with cancer very scary!!! Fighting for your “step-daughters” cause,then always worrying about ur “baby girl’s” diabites,and ur daughter going off to college, all of this going on and still having to run a business it really was to much for “anyone”!! and not to have ur best friend by ur side really was to much! But, lets not forget Bethany did flowers!! But never went to visit bobby, not even a phone call to ask did Bobby make it or is he even alive!!! I couldn’t believe after living in BOBBY’S house, not years ago but during that time she didn’t even visit so i understand ur hurt. U r a classy strong woman it was very noticeable u were not yourself last year and all the HWNY did was attack u when u were down. God does not like ugly! I am a true believer of what goes around comes around!!! KARMA IS A B@#%#
July 27th, 2011 at 4:46 am
Jill, I ahve to say you have been my favorite housewife since season one of RHONY. I think I offer a different perspective on how I take people’s personalities when I watch Bravo because I am still only 17. Jill you are really a role model and the way you give advice and love to your friends is a way everyone should act. Ramona disgusted me when she took the low blow to Luann about Victoria. That is something an adult should never do and I think it was incredible admirable of you to make it stop. Trust me, I much rather grow up to be like you then a “functioning alcoholic” like Ramona.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:51 am
Jill…your the best one…just keep your chin up and don’t let them upset you…they are trying to fluster you
July 27th, 2011 at 4:54 am
Ok. I’m going back a bit here, but what made me a “Jillaleader” to begin with is how you handeled the Bethenny situation. Yes, there were mistakes made but I felt with Bobby’s insight (angel of a man that he is)and your own moral compass you sincerely apologized and took the higher road. I will never forget how your “friends” treated you when you showed up to surprise them on their whatever vacation. Jill, I actually cried for how hurt you were. I hate to say nasty things directly about people, but does any one else besides me think that Simon seems creepy? I actually feel sorry for Alex. Bobby=stronger happy Jill. Simon=confused embarrassed Alex. You do the math. By the way, darlin, you look sooooo fabulous. I think you took about 10 years off this season. There are those of us out here whom can see the truth. We have your back!
July 27th, 2011 at 5:12 am
Jill well said. Funny how Ramona can say whatever comes to that lil mind of jets, but the minute someone defends themselves she can’t handle it. She needs to shut her mouth and learn to be a better friend. I am soooooooo happy to hear u and Botany contacted another. Just be a friend and be there for her. You are both very strong women. I wish the best to you and your family. Love ya!
July 27th, 2011 at 5:13 am
I wish the whole team blond/brunette didn’t have to be that way, but that’s just how the chips fell this season with loyalties and rivalries. I’m also glad you and Bethenny are conversing again, but I love your quote at the end that Michael Douglass says in the newest “Wall Street” movie! I love that line! Take care and can’t wait to see Part 2!
July 27th, 2011 at 5:48 am
Dear Jill,
I was so happy that I found your blog. I want you to know that my favorite thing about New Jersey Housewives was you and your entire family & Bethenny. You, Bobby, your mom and sister are so lovable and I don’t think that anything will ever change that!
You and Bethenny went through so much but I still think of you as family. I remember your mom telling Bethenny that she would be her mom and I still cry thinking about it.
Life is filled with so much strife and I do hope that you and Bethenny can reconcile because the love in your friendship is so real- those real connections never go away.
God bless you & your family. I loved how you stuck up for the children on the reunion.
Well done, you!
July 27th, 2011 at 5:56 am
Jill,
Eat Ramona alive! She deserves it and I thought that LuAnn would but I guess not. She is no body’s friend. Either is Alex and her wife Simone!
xo,
Val
July 27th, 2011 at 6:16 am
I just have to say as a fellow Long Islander I TOTALLY get your personality and charm. Keep your head up Jill!! BTW you looked FANTASTIC!!!
July 27th, 2011 at 7:43 am
Jill,
I am glad to read that you and Bethenny are communicating. It may be a slow road, but walk it. I hope in time you are able to rebuild your friendship. It was heart breaking to watch your friendship dissolve, I actually cried because I could see how it devastated you. You are classy yet never arrogant. It seems that you have a wonderful husband who loves you alot. Bobby gave you good advice about Bethenny, and I appreciate how supports you. As a side note, you looked BEAUTIFUL on the reunion show, I LOVED your hair all full and curly! I hope your daughter is doing well. I know you like to help people, but be careful taking Kelly “under your wing”, I don’t think she is stable, and that might not be a good friendship (I’m not saying anything bad about her, just concerned for you).

Alex is a bitch. Simon is an even BIGGER bitch. Hanging around ramona delusional and immature ass, she is beginning to pick up her nasty habits. Ramona and Alex are not your friends. They are not even real friends. Sonya and Ramona always leave Alex out. Yet, she is so loyal and joyous of Ramona’s juvenile behavior. When you and Ramona were having issues in Morrocco she immediately jumped on Ramona side and bashed you.
In regard to Ramona attacking Luann, it shows who she really is. To be frank, i do feel Ramona is in denial about het marriage. Avery even said her parents are never home and she never knows when they are coming home. Shes a drunk and a disgrace to all women. If Sonya and Alex were here friends they will call her out on her bs like u do.
Please please please wash your hands with alex and Ramona. They are only out to hurt u. By the way You look fabulous n ramona looks like shes melting.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:27 am
Jill, I am so happy to hear you and Bethenny have been intouch!!!! I was so proud of you for walking out when Ramona kept bringing up Luanns daughter. How low!!!! Even for her! I was so upset to hear yet another husbent confronting you. He pushed you! Please press charges onboth Simone and Mario if they ever do anything abusive to you again!!! It infuriates me when Alex sticks up for her husbent about his bullying! And just like most bullies she says “show mw the proff!” It is right in front of your face. Alex and Ramona are both in denial! Simone is a cyber-bully and did threaten you and Mario has had wandering eyes ever since day one. (they both know it they just don’t want everyone else to) As for Ramona comment on your marrage, well Ihad to laugh! It is so easy to see how much Bobby adores you! Every time the camera scans on him all he does is give you google eyes! It is one of the sweetest things on the whole show! Much love your fan, Palma
July 27th, 2011 at 8:48 am
Excellent show tonight! You were fantastic. Good lord, can someone PLEASE give Alex some meds?? Does she EVER shut the hell up? She stuck her horse nose into EVERY conversation! I LOVE how LuAnn pointed at her and told her to butt out! LOVED IT! WTH is up with Alex? Is she still that desperate for attention? She needs to focus on getting a proper stylist for her Barbarella hair do and shut up. She makes zero sense. Heavens, she has turned into last seasons Kelly. Get a life Alex. Keep on being you Jill! Without you there is NOT RHONY. Get rid of Alex. All the crap with Ramona is just hilarious. She is a raging drunk who has a cheating husband. Sorry, but that just makes for some good TV. She is such a loose cannon. Can she seriously not see how nuts she is? The Pinot coursing through her veins must distort her memory. Poor Cindy needs a break. She seems like a real New Yorker. Tough as nails and don’t mess with me type a gal. Love it. Sonja? Well she is just background entertainment on how NOT to age gracefully. A cougar with out morals or class. LuAnn is just LuAnn. I can take or leave her. But I DO think she is a great mother. Her kids are fantastic!!! Bugger off Ramona. That was a new low.
Keep it cool, Jill. Keep being YOU. Love you!!
July 27th, 2011 at 8:51 am
One more thing….I realize you and Bethenny were amazingly close friends, but please be careful. I like B and all, but I think she can be toxic for you. She is so full of herself lately. I watch her on interviews and she never stops talking about herself and how wonderful she is. Even most interviewers cannot get a word in. Be careful, she has changed ALOT. Just keep it real. Don’t try too hard to get the friendship back. If it is meant to be, it will be.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:55 am
Jill, I read all of your blogs after each show and love hearing your take and comments about what went on. I watched the reunion yesterday and was pleasantly surprised that although there was a lot of shouting and name calling it wasn’t quite as horrific as I thought it might be – maybe that is because I was so happy to see the burnettes with such big voices.
. When it comes to Alex – a spade is a spade – so they say and she is a f-in B*. For her to allow or even accept Simon’s behavior this year with the lady’s is appalling. I really don’t understand Simon’s role in this show – no other husband is in every all girl scene like he is – he needs to get a job. Speaking of jobs – Alex a model – laughable. Anyway – I wanted to respond to the whole Ramona thing. Have you ever looked back at Ramona’s behavior and wondered why she acts the way she does?!? I think Ramona has really issues in her personal life and she is angry and hurt and she takes it out on everyone else – I think she is unhappy and she acts like if she can make other people as unhappy as she is – she won’t be alone. Well instead of using one of you lady’s and entrusting what is really going on her in life to you – she tries to break all of you down. I think Ramona is in a very dark place and until she deals with her personal issues it will only get worse. I also think all her drinking masks how she is really feeling. It appalled me that she thanked “Jesus” for being a functioning alcoholic – I mean who does that?
Jill I adore watching you and LuAnn and Kelly, I like Cindy and Sonja is okay – but Ramona and Alex are toxic and they just aren’t fun to watch. They do bring drama, but in my opinion most of the wrong kind. I look forward to watching the 2nd half… Though it will be a week late, as I leave for vacation today. I look forward to seeing how it all closes and I hope to see you all (well most of you) back next year!
Love, Angela
July 27th, 2011 at 9:20 am
Jill, I have always been your fan! I just absolutely loved how you stood up to Ramona last night! Good Lord, Ramona, needs rehab quickly, is she still drinking heavily? She sure seemed liked it last night. I am sooooooooo happy that you and Bethenny are talking now, makes my heart feel good. Take care of yourself Jill, and Bobby is just a fabulous gentleman! xoxo to you and yours! Stay strong.
July 27th, 2011 at 9:28 am
Hey Jill – I’m following all the drama from Shanghai, China … LOVES IT!!! But can’t you all just get along ….?!?!?!??!
Love you, and very VERY happy to hear you have been in contact with Bethenny. Fingers crossed!
July 27th, 2011 at 10:59 am
Jill, You are my favorite housewife, I have always loved you,”old Jill”, “New Jill” I just love you, you are a strong woman with such a big loving and caring heart and lastly you are a wonderful friend and mother. The reunion was something all right, but now the world got to see Ramona sink to the lowest level of ignorant B that she can be when she attacked the kids. What did her low blow digs with intent to hurt you with throwing the Bethany thing in your face every chance she could get so old that she had to stoop to attacking her co-stars children?? What a piece of garbage and you are SO MUCH BETTER OFF WITH that DRUNKEN HOT MESS out of your life! I give you great props for putting up with that for all these years with that woman! I also cannot believe Alex this season, honestly up until this season I found her to be a big bore with a weirdo bi-sexual acting husband. This season she turned into this horrible, overly dramatic actress trying everything under the sun to jump on her co-stars coat tails to get air time. Alex and Simon have been taking notes from Ramona must be with stooping to the lowest level of low as long as they can get attention. I do not believe Alex can be trusted, she is out for social status only, even Ramona should look out as Alex likes to keep the pinot I.V. on full flow for Ramona and enjoys the drama way too much that Ramona brings once she is loaded, which this season seemed as if it was every scene. Kelly I believe said it best in her blog, the RHONY is supposed to show real women living in NYC, Bravo viewers can see a group of hot mess drunken blondes anywhere throughout america, but you, Cindy, Kelly and Luann show NYC Women in a good light. You 4 show what great mothers you are and what great, honest and trust worthy friends you are to each other as well. You 4 look out for each other and genuinely care about each other unlike Ramona and Alex who’s goals are to humiliate, embarrass and verbally attack their “friends” as soon as their backs are turned. I really hope that the RHONY continue on but without Alex and Ramona and maybe even Sonja because all she is, is Ramona’s personal little cheerleader. I love how the blondes wouldn’t do Luann’s video because of their children yet one walks around without underwear on all season and the other walked around a drunken mess the entire season, then there’s Alex who is just the sidekick or Ramona’s personal pinot pourer. Yeah those sure are 3 classy ladies – NOT!!! Alex, Ramona and Sonja need to grow up, wake up and get help because what they are portraying to america is utter disgust and humiliating themselves as usual!
I hope nothing but the best for you and your REAL friends and family. Take care and have a great summer!
July 27th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Hi,
I watched the reunion show and to me it felt uncomfortable. The blondes have no insight in how they act or react. Bringing up the kids were not acceptable and I applaud your reaction by getting up and leaving the room.
I’ve been living through some hard times and the last thing on my mind was cleaning and putting Sonja on the spot by Alex was a low blow. Yes, a clean house makes for a clean and orderly inside,,,but somtimes it’s just too much to cope with, not saying it was you who commented on that.
The whole program just felt like honest stabs in the back and it wasn’t fun to watch.
Go brunettes!!!!!

Jill, you are my favorite! I love your honesty! You always keep it real! Alex is by far my least favorite housewife…she thinks she is so entitled and she is a bully. Ramona is a bully too. Alex needs to stop milking the show, we know that she’s desperate for attention and for financial success. I am so happy that you stood up for LuAnn’s children. The comments made against LuAnn and her family were low and uncalled for. No wonder Ramona looks the way she does – she is a mean girl.
July 27th, 2011 at 11:34 am
Ok, where to begin?
The reunion was trashy at best on the part of the blondes, not to mention very one sided on their part. is it just me, or do the blondes get to talk over everyone and the brunettes hardly get a chance to talk. I sincerely thought some vieweres would point out how alex has become so into everyone’s personal lives and business, to the point of obnoxious. why? my belief is air time, air time and more air time. when she made the comment about her “running a clothing business” during the season and not talking about it for publicity, i thought back to her and her husband talking relentlessly about SIMONS business. i thought on that episode to myself, now that is self serving.
as far as ramona..well, there must be some truth about mario. her reaction was unreasonable to say the least. to say those things to luann, were a true testiment to who the real ramona singer is. weekend mom? at least luann is a mom to her daughter. ramona used her daughter (in case nobody heard her statement on the reunion) as her and avery’s show time. wow. it didnt get me to change my perception of her. i think that the only reason any children were involved this season is to show that there are children in everyones lives. they should be left out in my opinion. i can not imagine luanns daughter watching what ramona said. gosh, it makes me cringe.
someone asked it so i am going to ask again..what is up with ramona’s eyes? my husband asked me, since i make him watch this with me. She opens them so wide they appear to bug out of her face. can anyone say eyelift?
as for the show bringing up bethanny..come on ppl..old news. i couldnt believe this was brought up to deliberately hurt you. i belive it was manipulated into the reunion with the question to kelly. i just dont get it. it was meant to open a door to knock you down jill. i hope you see that you have become the new person to pick on for the last two seasons. the only thing i have to say about your fight with her is this. been there, done that. i am glad you had contact with her bc i know it will give you peace. other than that, i do not care for the whole thing. and it was very one sided. nobody cared what you were going through at the time.
listen, ramona and alex are not your friends. if you do decide to do another season, i think it will get worse. i will watch part two of the reunion with the hopes of someone calling alex out (viewer) and i am sure i will be disappointed once again. seems nobody will take a run against the pair.
your stalker will not let me post on her site..figures..i had nothing bad to say about you..argh..the world we live in.

Hi Jill,
Love you and thanks for standing up for LuAnn when Ramona was talking about her kids. Ramona telling everyone what a great married she got but I believe she just talks to make herself feel better. That was really mean of her to talk about Bobby also; the viewers see that Bobby really really loves you the way he looks at you. I think Bobby is a great man and seems to be great at being a good husband to you. There is something wrong ith Alex; she has no story line and always jumping in someene business. Simon is a Bully and wants to be on the show. Sonja need to cover up for she is a older woman – It time to stop showing your nude body. its not cute and it makes her look like a sex crazy person. I am very proud that you, LuAnn, Kelly, and Cindy stood together. I cann’t wait to watch Part 2 Reunion.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Enjoy watching you on the show and loved your “knock knock” comment regarding Ramona and menopause. I used to think Alex was nice, but she and Simon are so press and fame crazy it leads to obnoxious behavior on their parts. During the reunion while Sonja is crying Alex makes sure she is in the camera shot with her hands on Sonja’s shoulders. Nothing they do seems sincere.
Simon seemed pretty threatening with his comment to you during the cyber bullying epsiode.
Have a great rest of the summer! All the best to you and yours.
July 27th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
I think you handled yourself wonderful. Kids should be off limits but the blondes continue to handle themselves poorly! Do we really need to get into how Alex and Simon’s children behave??? Simon gets way too much airtime in my opinion. He is NOT a housewife (maybe secretly he is). Love ya Jill and continue with the positive and let the negative go out of your life xoxoxo
July 27th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Jill ~
you are strong, honest, intelligent and hilarious, and such an inspiration, don’t ever change. I love you and Bobby together (he’s a keeper) and it’s obvious how much he adores you and you him. And your daughter is so adorable like a breathe of fresh air. I am glad to hear that you and Bethenny have been making contact, I really hope things work out with the two of you. Oh, and I luv how you are with Ginger, too cute. Keep doing what you’re doing by just being you. I’m looking so forward to reunion part 2 and can’t wait to see you on season 5, until then, take care and best wishes to you Jill.
I have been watching the show since day one and I must say it is my all time fav show, I am addicted to watching it. I feel like I know all of you girls. Just wanted to say I loved your blog, it was so honest and heartfelt. Jill, you always call it how you see it, you show your true feelings and it seems like it always comes from your heart. You are my fav RHONY. I can see myself in you. When I watch the show I feel like you are my girlfriend and we hang out together LOL. Anyway I just wanted to tell you that I am definitely “TEAM JILL”. You are gorgeous and you have amazing hair
Your #1 fan!
July 27th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Jill, I just watched the finale part I… just had to tell you, your hair looked soooo good..that super straight look w/those bangs..Beautifully polished looked great on you..
July 27th, 2011 at 2:11 pm
I do see a change in you, a good change. I’m so glad that you told Alex off she interrupted every time anyone was talking even her so called blonde girlfriends, she did not show any respect, also this might sound harsh but Ramona is an alcoholic, some people think if you dont wake up in the morning with the shakes then your ok, there are all different types of alcoholics, my step mother is one and she works her ass off all day and drinks after 5pm every nite until she goes to bed, unfortunately I have many alcoholics in my family and have a little knowledge and from what I see Ramona needs help.
All the best to you..and I love Bobby he is a wonderful man…

I seem to remember another desperate renewing of the vows when the Gosselin marriage on TLC was trying to stay on the road. Looks like ‘Ramoana’ tried to do the same last season with their renewals. Mario has had a roving eye since the beginning and the looks that he gives Sonya are very telling. He seemed very uncomfortable when they did the massage scene after the Marocco trip. Maybe he felt that he was being unfaithful to another while filming that fake love scene with his druncken wife. By the way Sonya is just an embarrassment and Alex is the desperate hanger-oner who does not fit in at all. That whole family looks unhealthy. Don’t just love her horsey laugh?
July 27th, 2011 at 3:06 pm
I really have nothing against Alex but, when it comes to her communication skills, she is completely out of her league. IMO,if she was comfortable with what she has to say, she wouldn’t turn read and break out in hives. That’s what makes it so painful to watch her confrontations. There’s nothing in her demeanor that commands respect which is why the ladies walk all over her.
Ramona is just Ramona – she hasn’t really changed that much from Season 1 to now. I think her gesture to help you & Bethenny reconcile came from a good place but her timing was off. I actually think your relationship with Ramona on the show is the closest to a “real” friendship – you fight like cats & dogs but you always seem to make up in the end.
My only criticism of you would be your love of gossip. During Season 1, I thought it was great how you would “interview” new people because that was part of your charm as a connector. But the gossiping thing is really unattractive, Jill – even the Moroccan psychic said you have a good heart but you talk too much.
Good luck with Bethenny – you too were so funny together on the show – sad that you lost her as a friend.

Jill ~ I just commented on your blog and signed it “your #1 fan!” I forgot to add and ask if you would follow me on twitter @debbiealong Although my comment is awaiting moderation status at this time as I hope it gets posted or at least you get to read it as I posted it on July 27th. I truly hope you get both this comment and my prior comment. Thank you and love you Jill. “TEAM JILL”
July 27th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
Ramona is a looney tune!! Perhaps her hormones r out of whack..I don’t know. But she needs some serious help along with Sonja!
July 27th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Dear Jill,
First, Thanks to Bobby for being a good partner and support person for you! Next, I have always liked you because you are stable and self-sufficient. The other comments about Kelly, i support. Kelly is NOT used to the cut-throat behaviors that the blondes display. Alex is a wanttobe but can’t decide what she wants to be! She and Simon need to be ignored. Ramona is a snake, please stay away from her! She will be the next reality show curse victim. I believe that when you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences.(i will post this on RS blog) KARMA is a bitch……
Keep up the good work! Ohio fan.
July 27th, 2011 at 4:25 pm
I am sorry Alex’s husband is GAY did someone forget to tell them??? No wonder she is such a bully! I do not understand why she is married to him (obviously he married her to stay here DUH!) He does not work, is rude, and oh yes pushy. Your a doll!
July 27th, 2011 at 5:14 pm
Honestly this is the first blog that I have ever read of yours and I can say that I am HOOKED! Stand up for yourself as you have always done. As I blonde I hate how the ladies (if you want to call them that) that are blondes act on the show do. They have pretty sad souls. Stay Positive! ~Jill
July 27th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Jill you are the reason I watch the show, I love they way you are. I was very proud of you for standing up for Luann’s daughter. To me you are the only Real Housewife of New York from the show
Love you may God keep blessing you,Bobby, and your daughter
July 27th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Jill I think you are great and remember it doesn’t really matter what others think as long as you know in your heart that you are a good person. I fyou ever come to Indiana I would love to go shopping and have lunch with you.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Jill you are amazing! You held your own against those ladies that night. Alex and Ramona are AWFUL. I’m not sure how you sat there and listened to them speak. I wanted to turn it off at times until they were done! Ramona can say what you want but you are totally right about her – I’m sorry but how is she not approaching menopause?! She needs to get her head checked. I cannot wait for the second part of the reunion!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
I totally get everything you tried to convey at the reunion. I really liked Ramona, but I think she is kidding herself. She knows exactly what is happening but can’t face it yet. That’s why she has turned to drinking so much. Its a shame. I love Sonja and I think she thought she had to choose “sides” so she went with the smaller group! Alex I could never stand and still can’t. She is trying too hard to be “the level headed fair minded one” but comes off as completely ridiculous. I am thrilled with the Countess’ happiness. I love what Kelly is blossoming into. I like Cindy, but I think she needs to let go alittle more.
MY 3 wishes for the week are….Alex is not returning next season
We will not see Simon next season
Ramona seeks the help she desperately needs.
Love you!!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Jill, I absolutely love you! I really wish you would punch Ramona, Alex, and “Madame Morgan” in their faces. They are idiots! And for Ramona to bring up the way Luann parents is BS! Ramona thought she was pregnant at 55 just because her period was late… whatta dumbass. Her poor daughter is probably so embarassed all the time! I am a blonde, but I am definitely Team Brunette! You are amazing and I love your hair for the reunion!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Hi Jill after watching this season and especially watching the reunion I have come to realize that there is no winning with Ramona because it’s like fighting with a 12 year old. She reminds me of someone I know and the only way to deal with them is to actually not deal with them at all as hard as that might be because you girls are in the same circle. When in an argument with them the only way they feel like they can win is going for the low blows and everything they saw you did wrong is actually what they have been doing wrong. Ramona does that to you and the others girls all the time. Her being loud and obnoxious is her way of distracting people from the actual conversation. You and the rest of the brunettes are so much better than that. Keep being yourself your a blast to watch! So glad your talking with Bethenny again !
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Ramona can say what she*** wants. Whoops!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
Jill, you’re a woman of integrity. The loyality you give to your frieds, and famil, demonstrates the walk of love you follow. Here’s to walking in love, with a cattle prod doll!
Sheryl, Central Texas
July 27th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Alex is a non-factor and both she and Ramona have issues. I noticed in Morocco when your friend said what a great husband you have, Ramona rolled her eyes. She’s always been so jealous of you and competitive with you, but insulting your classy hubby is so desperate and low. I also thought it was low of Sonja to not defend Luann from Ramona–they may be bffs, but Ramona is WRONG and Sonja is supposed to be Luann’s friend too. Not cool. I hope you guys have each other’s backs and just ignore crazy Alex and Ramona.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Jill ~ you are and have always been my favorite housewife! I love your headstrong attitude!!!! I love watching you and Luann – you guys state just how it is! How is it that Ramona gets away with the crap that she gets away with? She never listens to anyone and she can’t take any advice/criticism! She thinks she is never wrong – oh honey, so sorry to tell ya – she is always wrong! Anyway, just wanted to say BRAVO to you, Jill Zarin! I look forward to the next season
July 27th, 2011 at 6:06 pm
I was absolutely appalled at the behavior of the “blondes” side of the couch. Mind you, I cringe at what comes out of all the ladies mouths at one time or another in seasons past, and Kelly confuses me at times. However–Ramona, Alex (Sonja appears to be joining their nightmarish clique) are the most despicable human beings I can imagine – more Ramona than Alex but both just the same. Ramona threw out some of the most vile and hateful things against you and Luann I just cannot believe it 3 days later! Also, to constantly throw out what a wonderful wife and mother she is – just unreal. As I reached my 9th month of sobriety last week I just look at Ramona and even tho its only clips, I see myself 10 months ago in her. Alex is a bitch who just wants to be the “in” girl and uses who she needs to to accomplish it. Simon is a pig. Sonja is turning into what I always thougt she was. You, Jill, are at times funny, frustrating, nosy, lovely, caring, charitable, and I just love your realness – do not change a thing – and I love watching defend yourself this year! Keep on keeping it real!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Jill!!!
You looked Fabulous at the reunion! I love that you stood up for the children and that you are so classy!!! I think it’s pretty obvious that Mario is cheating on Ramona, otherwise why is he so miffed at you? Me thinks he doth protest too much!! And Ramona should spend her time with her own child for sure! I was appalled at the way Avery treated the Party planners for her sweet 16, if I had acted that way toward an adult, I would have been picking up my teeth after my Mom slapped them out of my head!! LuAnn’s daughter was so gracious and sweet about her party, obviously no lack of parenting there!!
Anywho…you rock out loud and don’t ever let anyone tell you differently!!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Ok first of all no one needs to say anything about Ramona, her actions speak LOUD and CLEAR. The women is obviously an alcoholic that needs treatment. She does not want to talk about things that she thinks are not true but wants everyone to believe what she says to be 100% accurate. Well news flash , your a moron!!! I think you handled yourself with class and I am so glad that you and luanne did not let crazy eyes under your skin to the point of knocking her OUT! I am not sure I could have held back if she spoke badly about my children or any of my friends children. That is a NO-NO in everyone’s book!! Can’t wait for part2 xoxox Melanie
July 27th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Jill….i know you don’t read any others blogs, however, I did write an article about the reunion show on mine, wholiedtoyou.com. WOW, what a 90 min! I just wanted to share here what I wrote regarding you:
“Jill started off this season quietly, and stayed out of fighting, UNLESS PROVOKED. Last year I think the show got to her head, but after the Bethanny thing, she realized that all the drama wasn’t important- family, business, and REAL FRIENDS were. Jill was so humble and gracious, and only asked about the girls issues, she didn’t involve herself with them. She also gave people the time to explain themselves for their stupid behavior. But when she needed to get her point out, she did- and SHUT EM DOWN!!! Also, a BIG KUDOS for all the “looks” and “appearance” departments…. looking younger everyday!!! ”
Jill you have always been someone who is REAL, and says it LIKE IT IS! Keep being truthful to YOURSELF and to OTHERS! and like I said…. You’re looking GORGEOUS!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
This is the first time i have visited your site, and i absolutely love it. Youre truly a great person. Loved you from the first time i watched RHONY.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:11 pm
Alex is Simon’s puppet, and needs a backbone of her own, and she did look like a dog panting !! lol (sorry had to add that)
July 27th, 2011 at 6:12 pm
i can not stan alex at all. i feel she needs to leave the show. she has found her voice and needs to shut it off. im moving back to our beautiful city in a month. i hope i dont run into her cuz ill tell her to shut up lol. keep standing up to her shes a mennace and needs to stop. and ps sooooo not a model. love ya
July 27th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
Jill, You are the best New York City housewife! You are such a beautiful person on the inside and out! Keep up the good job!
Love Ya Lori
July 27th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
Speechless… Although part of the reason I watch HWNYC is for the drama… and of course, for the most part it is fun… But reunion was awful. Jill, you seem to handle everyone well (for the most part) and I don’t really think you instigate the horrible fights, but really???? Ramona, Alex UGH….. THAT’S ALL!!!! UGH! Please tell Kelly she needs to “tone down” SSSSHHHHING people! HAHA!
BTW… In my circle, we think Mario’s “other woman” just may be Sonja!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:18 pm
Jill you have been my favorit since season 1. I hope you and Bethanny have been able to work things out. Also this season for me seemed that the team blonds where acting like high school girls. I love the show and I love you I hope next season you and Luann come back.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:19 pm
Hi Jill!
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Pam and I’m 26 years old. I’m a teacher, tennis player, sister, daughter, granddaughter, etc. I am also Jewish and I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia (and still live there although not with my family). I am 100% Team Jill. A lot of the characteristics I see in you are similar to members of my family. Maybe it’s the Jewish thing, but for whatever reason I find you to be so easy to relate to. I can’t imagine watching myself through a microscope like you have to do every Thursday. I think if everyone in the world had to that, we’d all be ridiculously hard on ourselves. I think you are doing an incredible job, and you should be really proud of yourself. You are funny, interesting, caring and always want the best for people. Even if some of your castmates can’t see it, I can and so can a lot of other people in the world. I love watching you week after week, and I just wanted to inspire you to keep up the good work! Maybe one day I can stop into Zarin Fabrics and introduce myself!
Sincerely,
Pam
July 27th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
I have always been team JILL!!! Please remember that you don’t always have to add your comments when it comes to the blondes, though they are comical. Ramona, Sonja and Alex always seem to makes fools of themselves as soon as they open their mouths! My other suggestion is not to waste your time with Alex & Simon. Alex interjects herself into any drama for this simple fact… she doesn’t bring anything to this show… how else can she secure her spot? Isn’t the saying “negative publicity is better than no publicity”? Don’t waste your time Jill! Concentrate on your wonderful husband & daughter! Bobby has always conducted himself with such class! He would be my choice over the other husbands anyday!!!! Love you!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Jill, you are definitely a class act. I have noticed over the seasons that you have really grown into a much more positive and happy person. Don’t fall into the need to make great TV by causing or being a part of senseless drama. It really gives women a bad name. How sad that it seems most woemn really don’t like each other and find it okay to talk nasty about each other. I honestly think more people like you because you don’t act so nasty as in the past or as the other women do. You are still a strong woman and still stand up for yourself and are feisty, but a big difference than being two-faced and inauthentic. The Blondes have a lot to prove to redeem themselves! Keep on being the great you that you are!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Hey Jill..thanks for showing the liquid facelift. I work in a Medical setting and we are using your demonstration at our office. Your skin is gorgeous! As for the reunion, part 1, a little over the top for me. You and LuAnn are my favorites, but I could barely take all the yelling. Glad you are choosing the highroad and standing up for LuAnn’s kids. What happened was shameful with Ramona..so sad to watch such fighting. Hope you continue on the show..I love to live vicariously through your lives..God Bless
July 27th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Jill you handled yourself with class and restraint at the reunion. Ramona shouldn’t be given a minute of airtime. She is boring, pathetic and obnoxious. She needs to run a few shows back and see how Mario is checking out Sonja.. I wondered if the talk at the party was that they are sleeping together!! You are always a class act. Nice to see as well that you look like you are drinking diet coke and not PINOT all the time. Keep being you!!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:27 pm
So I just want to say, no matter what people say, I think you are amazing! I pretty much watch the show for you… alex, sonya, & romana are all physcotic & have no argument ever… just bitch and bitch! keep doing what youre doing!!! <3
July 27th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Hey Jill…I have to say all this bickering was quite disheartening…so sad to see people being attacked…especially about their parenting…Ramona is a hot, fidgety, bug-eyed mess, and her insecurity shows through loud and clear…I really hope the show returns with new castmates…Alex and Simon would love to have their own show and that’s why she has put herself out there like she has…found her voice my a**…she just wants to gain enough fans to merit her own (non)Reality show with Lurch…he looks so wasted…what a shame…
Keep up the good work…enjoy your summer with your Hubby and your beautiful little girl…all the best…see you next time!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Also! I want to say you looked GREAT at the reunion! And standing up for the kids was the right thing to do, at least we know your head wasin the right place..
July 27th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Mwah, yer beautiful babe!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Rock on, Jill! I’m with you, Luann, Kelley and Cindy all the way! I just love you and Bobby.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Cant wait for Part 2!!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Hi Jill – You know, Ramona is really pissing me off this season more than ever before. First of all, you were absolutely 100% within your rights to tell her to shut the hell up about the children. She takes such pot shots and is so cruel a lot of the time. Her comments to Luann are consistantly hurtful and uncalled for! Everyone this season has an issue with Luann, I happen to think she is right, and I don’t feel she is condescending. Back to Ramona – if I’m honest, Avery is the one who seems discontent with her home life. She is the one who scolded Ramona at lunch for not being around for dinner and for not answering texts to let her know when she and Mario would be coming home. She is the one who in SEASON ONE had to tell Ramona to dress a little more appropriately! What was she, 11 yrs old at the time? Even Ramona said that she sleeps in, and Mario eats breakfast with Avery and takes her to school.. THAT is sad to me. Luann’s daughter seems extremely grounded and polite. Avery is striking me as a tad spoiled and a little hostile this season. You are never going to get anywhere with Ramona Jill, but I can see how you are always banging your head against the wall with her. If someone else would PLEASE start exposing her big bag of B.S. a little more, then you wouldn’t have to do it! It’s sad, you two have had a long history but that isn’t enough of a reason to tolerate cruelty. There, I said my peace! Love you!
July 27th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I think Ramona made a fool of herself this season, she was kinda corny. she states that everyone else is drama. She needs to look in the mirror before she rates someone else. And also she is so fool of herself. I do not know how you handled her personality for so many years of friendship. I think you came out winning this season and yuo can also tell that you took a step back from drama and let it come to you, thats the best way to do it. let it come to you instead of starting it..
July 27th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Hi Jill, I watch 5 of the Real Housewives shows and NYC is my favorite, by far. On that show, you’re my favorite! I think you are the most sincere, kind and caring of all the housewives. I think you and Bobby have a great marriage and I love how you 2 really are a team and you stick up for eachother. Keep the Faith, don’t change and don’t let the buzzards get you down! Don’t listen to nay-sayers; they are just jealous. Be well, Wendy
July 27th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
Jill, you handled your self with dignity and CLASS. Say it out loud – CLASS! Some of the other ladies only want to interrupt and accuse and you answered the questions asked and replied in an honest way. My daughter tells me I am the “Jill” of my group and I take that as a compliment. Cheers to you for being true to yourself while many of the others live in a fantasy world. Alex is a wanna be and Ramona is delusional. Hang int here and I wish you all the best with Bethenny.
July 27th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Jill,
Wow, I was cheering for you while watching the reunion!! I admire your ability to put up with the BS/drama created by class-less Alex & Ramona. Those 2 “ladies” (and I use that term loosly), are not your friends. They, and thier husbands, will do anything to hurt you, please be careful. I don’t think they are evil, but I think they want to be…
You are a beautiful person on the inside which is why you look so good!!!!
I mentioned this on the Bravo blog comments, but is it just me, or do red heads have super power to see thru the BS?!?!? Kuddos to your mom too!!
Love You!!
July 27th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Ramona has issues, she picks and chooses when she is nice, thats her defense mechanism.She cannot blame you forher looking like a drunk or saying that her husband is a cheat. She knew what that fortune teller was saying and so did sonja.Denial denial denial.You have been the one Housewife that I can identify with and admire the relationship you have with your husband. For Ramona to say that you have a bad husband is a joke, and i know you know that. Keep being you and keep the company you have, because the brunettes come across as the realist group, the blondes are trying to hard to stay relevant…and Alex needs to go away, she is not “New York” she and Simon are DESPERATE! Love you Jill!
July 27th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Why did Andy let the blondes interrupted and shout over everyone? They have got to go. At least Sonya tries to own some of her stuff but is not owning all of it. Keep holding your own and keep the children out of it. No one’s teenager is perfect and they all get into some sort of trouble.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Jill you were so great this season. The ‘Blondes’ were just so embrassing and the way they treated the other girls was horrible. Alex and Simon both are just mean angry people it seems and Sonja while I feel bad for her and the situation she is and has been in, there is no excuse for the awful way she treats other people. Ramona used to be one of my favs but this season she was just strange..
Happy to hear you and Bethanny have been in contact love both of you.
Ohh and I just love Bobby he’s the best housewive husband
Take care and enjoy life can’t wait until next season
July 27th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Jill, I think you are the best. Poor Cindy, first season and she got attacked on every angle. I’m glad near the end of the season she finally opened her mouth & said what she felt instead of taking it. Kelly’s cool & so is LuAnne. But what the heck is with the “blondes”. Not one of them ever let a person speak without interrupting constantly. Alex should watch the season again, she accused you of going after Sonja for her bankrupcy, when she started it as soon as Sonja walked in…Sonja, she’s has alot going on, however thats no reason to be such a bitch to Cindy. And finally Ramona…OMG, between her drinking, loud mouth, dressing way too young for her age, she should be tahnkful her housekeeper does such a great job raising her daughter. She should also learn to just shut up & listen. she is the lady of many excuses.
July 27th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Hi Jill,
It was really nice talking to you yesterday on Lisas show. I was surprised and very touched that you mentioned the letter(pink stationary)that I sent you regarding B. I know you tried your best to resolve that situation, and very happy to see in your blog that there has been some type of connection between the two of you. That is great…and I hope it works out the best for you.
In regards to the reunion show..WOW!! You truly were the voice of reason, and didnt get “sucked into” the madness, until Romona attacked Luanns kids. Her action was totally uncalled for, not to mention the lowest of lows. In my opinion, the is “something” to the Romona drinking and Mario issue. She always tries to avoid the issue, by attacking someone or changing the subject. I guess time will tell. And as for Alex……nothing to say…just pathetic.
I wish you and your wonderful family all the best. Hopefully will see you on next season. When is Bravo going to announce?
Best Always,
Carol Clark/San Diego
July 27th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
I love you Jill! I think you shouldn’t take comments to heart when they are critizing you for expressing your annoyance and anger toward people who haven’t been the nicest to you, and being upfront with your feelings.( Everyone expresses their opinions & everyone gets to a boiling point & flips out-get over it ppl!) Especially silly when people defend those who have said hurtful and mean things themselves. Hypocritical? I think so. Also, people who bash your friendship with LuAnn really don’t know anything about it. Watching a hour of the show every week for a few weeks doesn’t make them an expert. Actually it’s kind of humorous that anyone would think they were involved enough to lecture you on it. Maybe they’re uncomfortable with a women who is strong & comfortable with herself, has standards, expresses herself, and has fun with her title. Just because you can’t relate to them, doesn’t make them fake or a bad friend. You just don’t mesh…it’s not rocket science. Honestly, it must stem from jealously or uncomfortableness. Otherwise, why would everyone worry about it & hate on it so much? Live & Let LIVE. Oh and adore Bobby-he seems to love you and always have your back- a solid rock. You are so blessed <3
July 27th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Love the way you speak the truth and do not hold back anything, your the best and far most Beautiful, stay True to yourself and what you beleieve in……
July 27th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
I really thought you were the best on the whole show , and LuAnn also.. I really cannot stand Alex Shes so phoney ugg and her laugh eww love u lots dont take there sheeaattt
July 27th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
hi jill. love you soo much! i have watched hwony from day one. i have been so confused with alex the past two years. season one, she says she bonded with you imediatley, then this season, she tells her husband, she never liked you. you were nice to her, when ramons wouldnt even go to her house. i think both alex and ramona sided with bethenney for fan support. im just a viewer, i dont do teams. i really liked both you and bethenney. its good to hear that you two have connected. it takes time, but i wish the both of you ladies well. good luck to you jill.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
Jill, you and Louann are my favorites on the show. I wish that Alex and Simon would get the boot, if I never had to look at them again it would be to soon. I think you all should ignore Simon and Alex. It is so obvious that all Simon wants is airtime no matter how he has to go about getting it, he is so obnoxious and so is she, I wish she would lose her “voice”. I cant wait to see the brunettes on part 2.
July 27th, 2011 at 8:52 pm
Jill, you and Louann are my favorites. I really thought you looked beautiful without the bangs earlier this year. I think you should consider wearing your hair that way more often. I really cant stand Alex or Simon. I think you girls should just ignore him, he only wants airtime and will do anything to get it. He is so obnoxious and so is Alex. I really wish she would lose her “voice”. I glad you stood up to Alex, she is so obviously jealous of your success.
July 27th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I had an argument with simon last nice over direct message on twitter about his mean tweeting and him and his wife attacking you, he just makes excuses and has a total lack of class unlike you. You are my favourite housewife please follow me on twitter @daniellecuckill
July 27th, 2011 at 9:58 pm
You’re my favorite housewife too. I always thought you were the prettiest, I don’t know why Ramona thinks she’s so cute, her eyeballs look like their about to fly out of her head all the time. Did you see her doing that on the reunion show. It’s “creepy” as Kelly would say. I don’t know why Ramona is so rude all the time and she doesn’t see it, all I can think is…she’s drunk and in a black out. LOL. As far as Alex, I think all this is too much for the poor girl. I agree she wants publicity and all, but I also think she’s kinda…well maybe not as savy as the other girls. As far as Ramona involving the kids…has anyone seen Avery talk to Ramona….I don’t think Avery really likes her. I mean she’s always trying to get her to shut up. And talk about raising kids right…I’ve never seen Ally disrespect you or anyone else…I can’t say that for Avery. Maybe Ramona needs lessons from you. And who knows if her husband is cheating…I know I don’t care. Maybe he’s tired of feeling like he’s married to a Looney Toons character, with her mood swings and bulging eyeballs. And if she says….”I’m so young…I have young genes” one more time. OMG….she lives at the plastic surgeons office. She’s like “do me do me” OMG. She better watch out or she’s gonna end up lookin like Micheal Jackson (no disrespect to him). Well I won’t babble anymore. I love you Jill. You’re the best!
July 27th, 2011 at 10:25 pm
So Jill you said to Ramona that if she continued to speak bad about LuLu’s kid’s she would ” have to deal with you” ( which Ramona is out of her ever lovin mind for going after kids ) what exactly would you do? What did you mean by that?
July 27th, 2011 at 10:31 pm
Jill, Love you girl. The blondes need to hop off the pedalstol that they put themselves on. Just keep being yourself.
July 27th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Jill,
You are a very classy lady and I respect you very much. Ramona and Alex are absolutely bizarre. I do not know if they think they look and act intelligent but they are very childish. Keep up the good work. The brunettes have much more class.
July 27th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
Jill, I really don’t believe that Ramona and Alex were jealous of your friendship with Bethenny…didn’t they try several times to get you guys to talk it out?
I know you may not like Alex, but that’s no excuse to call somebody an “idiot”. The only way to live a positive life is to be a positive person. It totally turned me off. You should show respect to everyone, regardless, because everyone deserves it.
July 27th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
I’m a big fan of yours, Jill, and have enjoyed seeing your personal growth this season. I do think everyone got out of hand with the name calling and arguing in the reunion, but I can understand getting frustrated at people who are in complete denial and don’t listen to anyone else speak! Keep growing, and I hope next season to watch you rise above all this drama and not engage in the childish antics the blondes seem to crave non-stop. Much love to you and your family!
July 27th, 2011 at 11:52 pm
Loved you this season it seems you have grown alot since season 3! Why does Romona ALWAYS say I look great for my age I haven’t had work done? Does she need to be reminded of season 1 where one of her first scenes showed her havong work done to her face? What because she hides it from the camera now she can “claim” she doesnt have it done!
You did amazing work with charities this season, you have so much to give and you never ask for anything in return that shows what a truly amazing person you are and that you use your fame for good things unlike so many others! You stand up for your friends and their children and have shown where lines should be drawn!
I find you to be a true inspiration.
Congratulations on your friendship with Bethenny. You two will work this out as long as people stay out of it uinlike last time!
Can’t wait to see what next season brings for you.
XOXO
July 28th, 2011 at 12:02 am
I just want you to know you and the counters are my two favorite housewives. You both are beautiful and classy ladies.
July 28th, 2011 at 12:10 am
Jill,
I thought you looked absolutely beautiful at the reunion. I find you to be so funny. I loved the way you told the dentist how to fix Cindy’s teeth(and you were right) you fixed Luannes hair for her music video(and you were right). You were absolutely right to walk off the reunion when Ramona spoke of Luannes children. You say what we all are thinking. you bring a sense of humor and truth to show. very admirable
July 28th, 2011 at 12:24 am
Hi Sarah..of course I post things that I may not agree with as long as it is with respect. I am appreciate you taking the time out of your day to write on my blog. I agree , it was not “classy” to use vulgar words and to tell the truth..when Ally was little I had to put money in a jar if I said a bad word and she can buy a car now! ( just kidding..) I do apologize in part 2 of the reunion…to err is human…to not forgive? Not human. Enjoy the show!
July 28th, 2011 at 12:34 am
I honestly think Alex has lost herself due to Simon’s poison. I don’t think she truly means you or the others harm – I think we’ve seen enough of the real her in the past to know she’s a nice person. I think because Simon seems obsessed with you and hates you she’s been doing everything she can to rip you down and your friends, too. It freaks me out. She seems to want to be peaceable, and then Simon tells her he doesn’t want her to be nice, and she coos to him that she doesn’t like you guys, and he’s appeased. It IS weird. I don’t like to see families split up but for the good of her and her kids I kind of hope she gets rid of him.
July 28th, 2011 at 12:45 am
I played “catch up” on past episodes before the reunion show aired and I’ve got to tell you, Mario seems to have “Perv” eyes for Sonja. Every scene they are in together he’s either oogling her butt or her boobs. Kind of odd for the husband of her Best Friend to be doing!
July 28th, 2011 at 12:46 am
I was saddened that a grown mother of 5 would say such nasty mean things to virtually a total stranger. I guess I expected more from someone who i am sure wants to set an example for her children and family. This is a TV show. Yes..you are entitled to your opinion, but making personal attacks “at” me on twitter is not nice.
@Jillzarin no one cares, you are so rude and a bully. I found you disgusting inside and out.
@Jillzarin DEFINITELY NOT YOU YOU DISGUSTING PIG
How would you like someone saying that to one of your daughters or grandchildren.
Think about that next time, before you write HATEFUL words on someones twitter or facebook.
July 28th, 2011 at 1:33 am
Jill, i think you are such a great person….i just adore you! you are a great mother, wife and friend….i am deffinitley team jill and team brunette’s all the way!!! you guys are the best. you handled yourself with such class at the reunion. I have lost any respect for ramona that i may have had (and there wasn’t much respect there in the first place) after the comments made about luann’s mothering skills….she took it to an all time low and i aplaud you for standing up for your friend like that. Luann is a wonderful mother and ramona had NO right to say those things! and i just wanted to tell you thank you for that! I have so much respect for you. may you and bobby and ally have a great life together. xoxo
July 28th, 2011 at 1:37 am
I honestly got a headache from watching the reunion. TOO MANY PEOPLE TALKING AT ONE TIME. How old is everyone? Alex should have kept her mouth shut through the show AND on the reunion show. That was ridiculous. Not only would she stick her nose where it didn’t belong but she made NO SENSE. I honestly dont understand how, at times, you ladies kept your composure and didn’t slap her. She is ridiculous and a poser. I don’t know what she is trying to pose as but its not real. As for Ramona, Im sorry, but you can watch her relationship with Mario from the first season to this season and KNOW that something is different. The scene in the hotel where she was trying to be sexy for him……I felt awkward FOR her. It was just WEIRD. I could say much MUCH more but I what is the use. I love you Jill. you are my FAVORITE. You are beautiful, funny and real. What more could you ask for?
Take care Jill Zarin and enjoy every minute of who you are. You are loved and adored by many! CP
July 28th, 2011 at 1:57 am
You were great Jill. Keep your head up and keep on being the better person. Aloha……
July 28th, 2011 at 1:58 am
Jill, Keep on doing what you do….Always be the better person. Best of luck with you and Bethhany….Much Love and Aloha,
July 28th, 2011 at 1:59 am
Bravo -great season. You looked incredible on Mon. Glad you called Alex out finally! You’ve been apologizing far too long. She’s the most disingenuous individual on reality TV. If she couldn’t stand you from day one then she CLEARLY used you the first two seasons as she pretended in order to develop contacts etc..Now she’s trying to use Ramona and Sonja. Simon is vile and he and Alex have become the resident bullies behind everyone’s back. Stay positive and stop help spreading the rumors about Mario-whether it’s true or not (it probably is) there’s no reason for you to perpetuate it. Cheers
July 28th, 2011 at 3:01 am
Jill, love love love you! Heard a rumor that you were leaving the show, please don’t let that be true!
July 28th, 2011 at 3:30 am
Jill –
I have been on “Team Jill” since the first season, and while at times I’ve cringed when you’ve said things that you later regretted saying, I continue to applaud your generosity of heart and spirit that you’ve always shown. What I appreciate about you is the fact that you have never claimed to be anything you aren’t, and you don’t set yourself apart by acting better than others. It is completely apparent that you like helping people, and this generous nature always shines out from you. The three blonds seem only to like and help those who can help their own self-promotion or make themselves feel more self-important, while you are truly concerned about making the world a positive place. You have opinions and you like to dish. So what? At the end of the day I believe you can say you have made the world better for others instead of only working to make the world better for yourself. Let the haters keep hating because they will never understand the inherent goodness in a person like you.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
July 28th, 2011 at 3:53 am
Jill,
Let me start out by saying that you are human, and nobody should expect you to be perfect. With a camera in your face, and in compromising social situations, it is inevitable that you will make mistakes and say things you don’t mean. With that said, I don’t think your behavior at the reunion can be chalked up to simple human error… it seemed premeditated and malicious. I think, if anything, the blonds are guilty of being brutally honest. The brunettes don’t seem to know how to truly apologize for their mistakes or any misunderstanding on their part. Especially Cindy. I don’t know… this whole season was hard to watch. Do you think there will be another season? I feel like all you ladies have had enough. How much more drama can ya’ll take?
July 28th, 2011 at 4:03 am
The other housewives should look up to you for guidance and understanding. Alex flew off the deep ends many times, Sonya is plagued with fiancial issues. She has lost her way, and is trying to climb out of the mess. She is a fighter and should stay away from Ramona. Ramona made such a fool out of herself, saying she might me pregant. good lord, and thinks she will stay young forever. god help her please.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:06 am
Jill you are a good friend to these woman. They need to respect you more. Life is too short for stupid nonsense. Ramona is so jealous of everyone including her own daughter. She needs a therapist, she states she’s young. please grow up Ramona.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:07 am
Recently there was a R.H of NY marathon. I had never watched the before this season until now.
In the episode where Alex meets you (Jill), Bethenny and The Countess, she basically admits to being a social climber and wanted to meet you all for what you can do for her. The higher the social status the better is how I remember her phrasing it but I won’t quote. From there on out I noticed Alex had a little visit with the various housewives to deliver not-so-nice news EVERY SINGLE TIME there is something she could use as a wedge. If you play the series back and simply look for these visits following gatherings you will see what I mean. Example- when you did not invite Ramona to the meeting after Morocco, who ran straight to Ramona to let her know she was excluded? She also kept running to Bethenny while you and Bethenny were in turmoil. She likes to instigate in a passive way and make it seem as though she is not involved. Also- She tries to make it sound as though she is defending random housewives (as she did in Morocco) when she is clearly stirring the pot. Simon is just as catty but scary. These are my observations from watching the marathon.
Alex, was my first favorite the very first time I saw RH of NY and now I completely dislike her and I feel she is undermines your whole group and she is the catalyst.
I heard someone once say that their definition of evil was chaos and that a person with a dark soul loves to spread chaos. Watch the series over and just take notes on how Alex loves to cause chaos and sit back and make faces as though she is in awe. When she gets itchy, she should be wishing to avoid confrontation- unless she is enjoying it. Once ALL the housewives see it for themselves then maybe you all can vote her off the Island.
Last thing- I have a lot of respect for your husband. He looks like a great guy and shows maturity and restraint. At the same time I would love to see Simon approach a New Jersey Housewife the way he has approached you. I erased the rest of what I think the outcome would be… Simon needs to take a step back though.
I hope things get better for you. I understand you and your personality. I know you never meant any harm and it is terrible the way it seems to come down on you. It is unfortunate that people spend more time talking about the negative things more than the positive things. You are tops and everything will be fine for you. God Bless and be well.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:07 am
Ramona is a total wackadoo. She’s lost it, pretending to be this young girl. oh please grow up, your fifty five. get a life.
July 28th, 2011 at 4:54 am
Jill, I feel you on that. I deal with rude, nasty people for a living, and sometimes it does get me down. Yes, sometimes I feel foolish for letting non-entities who suck at life get to me, but I do have feelings. So I completely understand why it can sometimes ruin your day to have some crazily overinvested person send some nastygrams your way, despite how great your life is. I mean, it’s a TV show. You guys are not criminals, and we don’t know you. None of you have done anything to deserve the level of vitriol.
July 28th, 2011 at 5:01 am
Jill…you are the best! The blondes were so tacky and fake this season. Love,love, love your hair and the necklace was fabulous! You look amazing, I’m jealous of your liquid lift ? Keep on being you!
July 28th, 2011 at 5:18 am
Don’t pay Ramona and the other two dud bloondes any mind. They are just haters, plain and simple. You are you, and that is what your fans love about you. Don’t change for anybody!
July 28th, 2011 at 6:54 am
Jill please let us know whether or not you are as appalled as the viewers are over part 1 of the reunion show. Has fame gone to all? There is no way a group of woman act like this and can be proud of their behavior. I loved loved this show but now it is all about a bunch of wealthy woman who only care if they look good but could care less about their character. The only two that seem to stand and say what is real is Sonja and Alex. They own it. Jill you have been dishing and dishing and when it comes to you, WOW. Why did you walk off the show when Ramona made a comment about LuAnn’s children. Isn’t that LuAnn’s business. Obviously her daughter is giving her a run for her money and Ramona should not bring it up but you and LuAnn would if it was Ramona’s daughter. You did it about her husband but could not back that up and that is just as mean. You always claim to have sources but never say who, Jill are they in your HEAD????? You used to be the favorite but lost that after you refused to talk with Beth. How could you be afraid of her, you are the BULLY of the show. The more the season went on, the more you seemed to have lost your FANS.
July 28th, 2011 at 7:37 am
Holy cow you have so many messages. Being new to twitter I am up late trying to figure it out so I’m watching the third season reunion. It is clear that they went for the jugular. I love that you own up to your mistakes. You are a good friend and that’s a great trait. Have you seen the movie James and the Giant Peach?
Doesn’t his aunt Spider remind you of Alex?
July 28th, 2011 at 10:00 am
I don’t know how any of you guys stopped yourself from laughing, that was the most delusional thing I’ve ever seen. Alex was turning red and getting all agitated about things that had nothing to do with her, then tells Cindy to calm down when Ramona attacks her brother. Ramona says it’s different when she means because she has no malicious intent, then attacks Bobby and says she doesn’t need a liquid face lift. She brings the kids into then denies bringing the kids into it! Sonja laughs hysterically and calls you “Dr. Jill,” when you bring up menopause, as if you need a medical degree to live in reality and comprehend that 55 year olds cannot conceive naturally!
Seriously, what is up with the blondes? Are they honestly that delusional or do they play crazy on TV?
July 28th, 2011 at 11:27 am
Kudos Jill!
Your blog was well written. I thought it was extremely below the belt for Ramona to mention the children on this show. Another thing- how she was hitting below the belt, about Bobby and your relationship- AND…Luanns relationship. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with this lady? I was waiting for someone to say “Place the wine glass down and watch the show again Ramona!”
Is she on meds? Only you ladies would know, since you are in her inner circle.
I was going crazy with Alex CONSTANTLY throwing in her two cents. What the ham sandwich is wrong with her???? I really do not understand why Bravo has her and Simon on this show. I never understood, what made them part of this show in the first place. They live in Brooklyn, and they are fame..ummm..seekers.. to put it nicely. This season watching her frakenstein facial expressions was EXHAUSTING. The viewers could see a mile away, her setting up this scenes, grabbing for her last year model phone, to speak to Simon- ( was it to speak to Simon?? She was giving you HER take- LOL!) Tricks are for kids Alex.
Sorry, but Bravo does not post ANY of the real posts…too bad soo sad!
Kudos to you and Bobby for showing class on this show!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:37 am
Hi Jill, I think you are amazing, have a lot of integrity, very honest and you tell it like it is. My favorite line of the whole show was “back it up baby!”. I don’t like to hate on people, but I do dislike Ramona’s lieing and her avoiding anything unpleasant about herself, and Alex’s BS. And yeah, why IS Simon in all of the shows on camera….I don’t get it. Out with Simon!
I am grateful that you read these comments because I haven’t had success reaching you on twitter.
You so did the right thing, defending LuAnn’s children. Boy I could see how hot that made you, and with every right! Yes, the blondes were definitely on a different plane that you, LuAnn and Kelly (Cindy didn’t say much). I think they were vicious. I don’t think that’s too hard a word.
I love you Jill – you are my favorite housewife of all the shows! I surely wish you would follow me on twitter. I had 20 people, but two dropped out and now i have 18! help a girl out, a huge fan
Love you and take care!
July 28th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Jill,
Kudos to you for standing up and leaving the room when the children were brought into your incessant fighting. That being said, don’t you think all of you are guilty of bad behavior and not just Ramona? Gossiping on TV about people’s parenting skills (Alex and Simon), drinking (Ramona and Simon), marriages (Luann, Ramona), etc. can have a serious and negative impact on each person’s families as well as their ability to provide for those families. Don’t you think that YOU ALL have crossed lines that should have never been crossed. If you guys are still with the cast next year, I hope it returns to Seasons 1/2 where there was cattiness but a lot of fun. As a viewer since Season 1, that was far more entertaining than the reunion show which was horrible and difficult to watch. Lastly, Bethenny has publicly stated just a few weeks ago that you guys are not friends. What’s the real story there? Would appreciate a clarification in your next newsletter. thx
July 28th, 2011 at 4:08 pm
Hi Jill,
Can I just say as a 19 year old girl I am shocked by the behaviour of the “blondes” on this season on rhony. Me and my friends would certainly not act like this (although coming from Ireland, controversy and drama is not what we like over here). I cannot believe that Ramona, although funny some times, would stoop so low to bring someone else’s kids into the mix. I think that as very rude and disrespectful and I think she needs her head checked if she thinks she is a good mam because if she actually was a good mother, she would know that talking about someone else’s children is an absolute no no! I only got to see the reunion today because I have to watch it on the internet as we don’t have bravo.tv in Ireland. I have much respect for you and Luann but I find that the other ladies are all childish and idiotic sometimes in their behaviour, especially Alex who needs to learn that you don’t always need to say what is on your mind. I that people will realise that you seem like a wonderful person and you remind me a little of my mother, funny, caring and honest. Glad to hear you and Bethenny are beginning to move forward and hope to see that you will be back friends soon. Hi from Ireland!
July 28th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Jill, you were AWESOME in part one of the reunion. Every woman should have a friend as loyal as you are to Luanne and Kelly. I hope you are still a part of the cast for next year. RHONYC wouldn’t be worth watching without you.
July 28th, 2011 at 5:42 pm
Jill,
You have a genuinely friendly manner and are a true friend to those you cherish. That said, I didn’t think Alex’s attendance at an acquaintance’s wedding to be “setting YOU up”. That thought is not logical. Alex was a guest, period. Get over it. The other recurring matter that you won’t let go of is the missed opportunity to re-friend dear old Bethenny at Ramona’s. How can you complain that Ramona wanted to get you guys back together when you pulled the exact same stunt between B and Kelly? AND – you “SURPRISED” Ramona et al on St. John’s by your unannounced drop in. Whatever you expected by that faux pas didn’t work out. Last season, it was dealt with ad nauseum with various blow ups and apologies. Why continue to beat THAT dead horse? You hold grudges until the cows come home. Obviously, so does everyone else on the show. Clearly, Alex bated you to call her an effing bitch on the reunion. She blurted out so many things like the thug she claims LuAnn is. Silex both wish you ill will and don’t stop yapping about all things Jill. However, if you are the bigger person, then please stop engaging with them. They aren’t worth your time. You might as well count Ramoron off your holiday list as well. She is no longer a friend to you, LuAnn, Cindy or Kelly. She is just another dumb blond with no boundaries. btw: What was the issue Mario had with YOU that he got physical and loud? You didn’t disclose that. And what was it that Simone had to discuss with you prior to his “Watch Out” comment? That never came out… Inquiring minds want to know.
Stay well.
July 28th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Jill I just watched RHONYC and i have to say you, Luann, Kelly,Cindy did show some class…Ramona can say what she wants about other people and parenting but most of the events she went to she was drinking like a fish but its funny Bravo never showed all those clips. Sonja for me has no class and thinks sex sells all the time..News flash for her SEX DOES NOT SELL ALL THE TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR FUNDS ARE SLOWING GETTING LOW…For alex..she is the most weird person i have ever watched on tv and simon should be ashamed of his self for being involved in women affairs. You sure he is not wanting a sex change.lol
July 28th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
Jill,
You looked absolutely beautiful on your appearance in the White Collar Show! I know i thought it was you at first glance and then you came back on screen with a few lines and did a great job.
For most of us hard working women in NYC it is offensive to see how much attention the (and i hate to use the divided titles) “blondes” get. Of course not everyone is going to see eye to eye and for those viewers that are all for the “other coach” obviously have very similar traits. Otherwise any caring self-respected person are not going to be fooled or surprised by their catty behavior. All of them are absolutely fake. From not wanting to support LuAnne’s video because they didn’t think it was appropriate. You can only laugh while you think back on…
1. Ramona her condescending ways towards her friends and especially her tri-fecta – what a joke! Maybe that’s why Mario is always looking at Sonija more than his wife. (hasn’t anyone noticed)
You can obviously tell how unhappy a person is when they feel the need to always have a glass of wine in hand. How dare she comment on you or anyone else for that matter when on that girls trip last season she acted like such a sl*t and flirted with a ton of other men. She new she was on camera, but then proceeded to make herself believe it’s acceptable behavior if you cut loose with friends and family. Sad thing is she always crosses that line and doesn’t realize it. She is very delusional and I’m glad that people are seeing her true colors. She should NEVER have brought the kids into it on the reunion show!
2. Alex and Simon are really pathetic self-absorbed individuals. Period. End of story. She talks about how her marriage is so great, but I have a lot of gay friends as well and a straight friends and we all have agreed that it would not surprise the world in the least bit if she ever caught him with another man. People need to stop using her as a “model” for their brands. She is in no way an attractive lady. And just because she in on the RHNYC doesn’t mean you should use her for the name. It’s really getting to her ego in the worst way possible. Not all models are gorgeous, but at least the professional ones who are not, have a beautiful bone structure where they photograph well and really sell the garment.
I wish you, Kelly, Cindy, LuAnne the very best in life!
July 28th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
Jill-
Seriously, I am so tired of hearing about the blodes and the brunettes. All of you acted and continue to act like spolied children. It is time to grow up and act your age. I am same age as you, and If I used that language, or acted so entitled, my children would be mortified. You call out Mario about cheating-knowing full well you have a microphone on you-that was low. I could go on and on about the entire cast, but in a nutshell-all of you need to grow up!
July 28th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
Loved you hair on the reunion!! I noticed Ramona avoiding things by her body language as well. I really enjoy Sonja (away from Ramona)…Alex…NEEDS TO GO!!! You’re fun to watch and I looked forward to the episodes. My girlfriend and I will text back and forth during the show and then talk about it on the phone after! I can’t believe how addicted I am to RHONY!! I don’t think Cindy is cut out for it…she lets the blondes get to her…id she stays for another season, you need to show her how it goes!!!
July 28th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
I wish I had a friend like you!You’re beautiful outside&inside!(I didn’t mind you say f-word to…)!!XO♥
July 28th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Jill,
I am so frustrated with the “selective” post replies on the Bravo website. I am happy to be able to post to you here at JillZarin.com
I don’t know why you even try to maintain a friendship / relationship with either Ramona or Alex.
From day 1. it’s been obvious that Ramona is insecure and jealous, and that she has to put others down in order to feel good about herself. She has cut you down every chance she gets, and enjoys seeing you squirm.
As for Alex, well let’s face it, she has no relevance on the show other than to cause trouble and drama, getting involved where she doesn’t belong. To completely dismiss and ignore her would probably be the best (and worst) thing you could do regarding her new-found voice.
I’m happy to hear that you’ve been in contact with Bethanny. I hope you can find a new and better place in your friendship with her.
Greetings to your wise mother “Gloria”.
I’m sure she would tell you to place your energy on those friends who are worthy of your time and efforts.
Good luck to you in your future endeavors.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Jill,
I think you are wonderful. I deal with a group of ladies each day for my job. Some I have been friends with for years and some just recently. I have watched all the episodes and I think the Bethanny incident was handled by all parties wrong so I am pleased to hear continued efforts are being made to possibly mend fences. It seems to still hurt you in talking about her which proves she was a great and true friend. As far as the other ladies. There is no reason to discuss someones husband and children. We all know that cuts below the waist and I dont care if its good tv or not. Its harmful and hurtful. I see some good in all of these ladies however there are a few that like to keep the pot stirred and want to try and fix everything. Luann and Alex there is no reason to have these lunches to try and fix others friendships and take up for people how old are you guys? It isnt high school you can take up for yourselves. Next Kelly is out to lunch. She absolutely is beautiful but she is extreme with everything she does. It is like a child when they do not want to do something they will put their fingers in the ears and scream or sing lalala to keep from dealing with anything. Sonja is just not secure she just needs good friends that she does not have to prove anything to. She needs to know its ok to grieve over a divorce and know she doesnt have to have lavish parties to keep friends. Cindy ( doesnt need to be on this show) she seems very nice but the show is about drama. She doesnt do it. Alex wants so very badly to fit in. She is eccentric and most people dont get her so she will never fit in. Simon crosses over to what I would call a gender bender. He is a man with children but very much in a womans world. He doesnt fit in well so therefore they are wonderful for each other but not for the group. Jill you are a beautiful woman with a great husband and beautiful daughter. Be who you are. I would say I would take a hard look at your friends and move on accordingly.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:28 pm
My comments don’t show up on bravo, just wanted to tell you that u ROCK girl. Don’t let the hater’s(blondes) get u down. I think Ramona is on crack, she is the most 2 faced person on the show , and Alex, I don’t even know if she’s really a woman, why is she even there. Simon is just a bully. Keep being u Jill cuz u r awesome.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
WOW. I just watched the reunion on Bravo on demand and was overcome with the urge to tell you thank you for putting your foot down about talking about the children. As a viewer I have no interest in seeing people’s children dragged through the mud. The angel on my shoulder is whispering hopeful words to the wind that you and Bethanny will find a way to re create friendship. The devil on the other hopes for Ramona’s swift karma. You have taken your lumps, owned your mistakes and I thank you for being one of the only people left on this show I still enjoy watching.
July 28th, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Jill,
It was enjoyable watching your progress this season. You maintained the same “in-your face, call-it-like-it-is” attitude (which I appreciate), but you avoided the gossip/meddling that got you into trouble last season. Kudos!
Stay away from Alex. She and Simon are the epitome of wannabes, and they are more toxic than a nuclear meltdown. The more you interact with them, their stock value increases because they don’t have much in terms of connected friends with wealth. It’s so evident they want to be part of the NYC high society, but their backgrounds prevent them from understanding how it functions and how to play. It’s amusing to watch them aspire to be like others, but at the end of the day, Alex will always be a country bumpkin from the suburbs, and Simon will be…well, whatever the hell Simon is. “Strange” comes to mind. Oh, and “gay” too. (And I am gay so I say that totally without malice but with quality input from my gaydar.) They are forever doomed to being middle class which, for most people, isn’t a bad thing. But for them, it’s the worst nightmare ever. Such a shame.
Enjoy your summer and I look forward to the next season!

Jill, you are an amazing person!! DONT let anyone bring you down. You are the way you are and that’s why we the fans love you. You are not fake like the others and you def say the truth to everyone in their faces. Don’t change! CANT wait for Reunion part 2!! Is there going to be another season? I really hope so!!! TEAM JILL = ]
July 28th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
Hey Jill,
Since day one you were my favorite!!!!!!!!!!! Ok just to clear up last season Bethenny was a super Bit h!!! And I believe you really tried. I always thought your comments were and are sooo funny, it just comes natural to you. Bethenny on the other hand tried way too hard to be funny. I feel Bethenny is insincere and I did not watch her show. However with that said I am happy to hear you have been in contact with her. Your honesty, sincerity and compassion shines through! Ramona is just pathetic, she needs to go! Sonja is just as pathetic. Ramona is an alcholic and I feel so sorry for her daughter. Alex and Simon are despicable!!!!!! Fame whores!!! She makes absolutey no sense when she speaks, neither does he. What the hell was she talking about when she said she couldn’t even say the word class??? That she considers it a bad word???? What really Alex you are just a dumb ass! But why are they still on the show. They are like watching a train wreck!!! Don’t even waste your time on them. I love your whole family!!! And you Jill, you have more class in your pinky than they have between them. For Alex to say to you watch out??? Again what the hell. I seriously can’t stand them! You need your own show Jill Zarin, I am a fan and you have my heart. I love team brunette!!!! Lu Ann is fun and I love Kelly, and Cindy is real!!!!! Team brunette tells the truth it shines through!!!! The Blonds just look soooo bad! And Ramona thinking she was pregnant what a joke. Again Jill no one can touch you sweets you are the bomb diggity!!!!!!!! And gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!
July 28th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Dear Jill,
I actually find that all of you women have your pluses and minuses (as do we all). But, instead of embarrassing Ramona about her husband’s supposed affairs I think that you should have waited until Ramona attacked Luann about her marriage. Then ask Ramona how she likes to hear about her husband? Maybe then she would have realized how she was making Luann feel. Instead Ramona felt attacked and lashed out.
Anyway, I think that many of the arguments are surprisingly petty and very ‘high school’.
July 28th, 2011 at 11:53 pm
i would have knocked ramona out. i think she needs a session with dr. drew for her drinking….
July 29th, 2011 at 12:56 am
Alex annoys me no end. She talks to the rest of the women as if she’s talking to her little boys, with the most annoyingly patronizing tone and shaming comments. And frankly, she’s diffucult to look at… how anyone thinks she is model material, I can’t fathom. She looks like this guy: http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/Achmed_00/achmed.png with skin. Ramona – I pegged her as a drunken pseudo-sophisticate the first time we saw her on the show. Kelly is no nutjob, and there seemed to be such a serious attempt to paint her as such, last season. At least this season didn’t continue so much in that vein. I know several people who are completely content with, and committed, to being peaceful and peaceable in their lives and they sound just like Kelly; she seems to insist on at least trying to maintain her balance, and when the housewives’ pettiness begins to overwhelm her enough to threaten that balance, Kelly rightly bails on them. Jill, sometimes you’re abrasive, sometimes you lack self-control and your behavior doesn’t always rise to high behavioral standards you claim and were clearly raised with, but you and Luann are my favorites – you two and Kelly are the genuine article, in terms of knowing who you are and being real. Sonja seems to be very real, as well, but unfortunately she came off this season as self-absorbed and snooty… but I am going to guess that most of that is simply the fact that she had some really self-absorbing personal trials going on. No question that, as everyone has said since they appeared on our screens, Alex and Simon are far out of their league and come off as desperate wannabees. Other than seeming ridiculously driven with regard to her business, Cindy was a genuine breath of fresh air this season, and I love her tough, no-nonsense self-assurance… while Ramona’s “tough, no-nonsense” attitude is manifested in nasty put-downs of others, but Cindy’s is more like Luann’s — actual self-assurance and a “comfortability” in her skin. And it seems really obvious to me that Ramona’s life isn’t quite what she wants everyone to think; I think she’s falling apart slowly and no wonder she drowns herself in Pinot — and if I have to hear her grating voice pronounce it as “peanuh” one more time, UGH.
July 29th, 2011 at 1:05 am
First of all I do think you look wonderful. Ok there was my positive. The show presents you as a know it all and busy body. You are not a nice person. You obviously want to try and get Alex off the show….How disappointing that you can’t accept others. You see things one way…your way and refuse to see things through other’s eyes. Bethany saw you for what you are and I don’t believe she will be your friend after you spoke about her again at the reunion. She is too real and honest.
July 29th, 2011 at 1:06 am
Jill,
I have to say…. i wish you and ALL of the other girls would listen to Luann’s song….Money can’t buy you love!!!! I think you have a good heart…but actions speak louder than words…. sometimes your words are so hurting and attacking…and you do a lot of charity but you don’t need to brag about it….I wish you would go back to being Humble….I think some of your remarks regarding Bethenny and then talking about Ramona’s husband….even it it is true….just because you are mad at someone you don’t have to retaliate….let your actions speak…kindness, forgiveness, and gentleness…..you don’t have to go to their level. You should set the example for some of the other ladies….you can still have a juicy storyline but why does it have to be so two-faced and mean? I pray that you will not take this as a mean comment, but rather think about it….I did it with good intentions.
July 29th, 2011 at 1:46 am
Go Team Jill! I find your personality refreshing, honest and real! You never say you are perfect, and I really believe your heart is in the right place. Thanks for a great season!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:23 am
Hi Jill – I recently joined your newsletter and I am glad I did. I am checking on here all the time now. I watched reun. part 1 and I can’t believe how people get sometimes. We are all guilty of saying things and doing things we regret yes, but Ramona can’t seem to take i t and it’s sad. I also feel that the part with LuAnn and the kids was terrible. As for Alex I think she needs to go to a new show. Her and Simon do not belong on RHONY they belong RHOBrooklyn. I love the show though. I watch most of the RH shows and my favorite is NY and Jersey. And my favorite gals are you, LuAnn and I like Sonja and Cindy. For NJ Caroline hands down favorite. I hate when the seasons ends then I feel like I am left out and don’t know whats going on.
I will say I live in N.California over here in Wine Country (Sonoma and Napa County) and you go to a nice place here to eat and you WILL NOT see Ramona Pinot here. We have the most highest end wines out here and that Pinot is YUCK compared to what we got here. I want her to come down here and try to get a winery to take a look at hers. Ughh.
thanks for keeping the RHONY fun and exciting. I love you and your personality and family.
I wish you and Bethany the best in trying to work your way back into each others lives. I miss you both together. Would love to see you on her show or see her make an appearance on RHONY.
Your goregeous Darling!
July 29th, 2011 at 3:54 am
Ramona is crude and deep down rotten. The way she acts is horrible! I don’t know how some of you ladies don’t reach over at times and give her the good punch she has earned! Between going so low and talking about other children and mother skills is like the kettle calling the pot black!
The number one pet peeve I have is all her politically incorrect just downright rude comments and behaviors she had when in Morocco! It makes me so angry because as a traveler myself when a grown women (in reality a 5 year old with no impulse control) behaves the way she does it makes traveling hard because there is already a negative view on American travelers and she just reinforces the negative image. I myself am only just 21 and I would never behave in the ways that she does.
I believe that when people do, say, and generally be selfish that in the end it will come back to them in one way or another.

I find it hard to believe that you enjoyed watching the reunion. As a viewer it was hard for me to watch. I didn’t like all of the bickering. I think the show has taken such a dark tone. I just wish that things were not so ugly. I have yet to watch more than a few minutes of this year’s reunion. I won’t b watching on Monday
July 29th, 2011 at 4:40 am
Ooooh. The reunion was truly a hot mess.
The best line was said by Cindy, “Are you a lap dog?” – to Alex (who asked why). Continuing, Cindy replied, “because you’re panting” (which she was). All things considered, that was an astute observation. Alex IS Ramona’s, Sonja’s and Simon’s lap dog. She barks and pants and licks her master… T-Shirts could be made up for Alex with that logo, “Are you a lap dog?”
Ramona was a completely insensitive fool. She actually insulted Bobby (who never did or said anything terrible to her) and LuAnn’s daughter (who never did or said anything to her). She actually maintains that her comments are in defense of what is said to her. The nerve. She picks on innocent people because she can’t think of a proper retaliatory response and then commends herself for it. Obviously, she’s permanently soused on her Pinot Grigio. She’s a disgrace to businesswomen.
Sonja disappointed me this season. She seems to think that everywhere she goes, her T & A can just hang out for everyone to see. She can name drop all she wants. That does nothing to keep her on the social register if she struts around without her undies and moons the world. Those 3 amigas are really the Three Stooges at this point.
July 29th, 2011 at 5:38 am
Hi Jill,
I just want to express how much i respect you and the girls not the blondes of course! it is awful how evil Ramona, Sonja and Alex are, they can say whatever they want but they cant take anything?? and the way Ramona attacked LuAnn is just classless like her! she is jealous obviously of the classy LuAnn. Of course you are a lady and look more beautiful every day!!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:09 am
Jill,
I am definitely a Bethenny fan. I believe you allowed LuAnn to come in between you and Bethenny’s friendship. I love the show, but that’s all you ladies do…talk about each other. So, with that said… Kelly is a nut case, LuAnn is a has been(with no class), Alex needs to have a backbone to put you ladies in check, Ramona is very real who say’s whats on her mind, Sonja is living life to the fullest, and well, the other one shouldn’t even come back next season. I think you and your husband have a beautiful relationship. You need to focus more on you family and less on these so called friends of yours. Don’t allow LuAnn to make you loose another good friend… Ramona really cares for you!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:53 am
Glad to hear that you and Bethenny are communicating. Alex is purely pathetic, Sonya broken, and Ramona needs a psyc exam, and to get real about how old she looks. She looks every bit of 54!
Of course Mario is trolling the babes! Love your new look Jill..
July 29th, 2011 at 7:18 am
Jill,
Without a doubt, it was a year of finger pointing and awkward moments which I can only imagine the behind the scenes or the edited clips that didnt make the show. Its become the Bickering Housewives now and I wonder if the cameras, producers and fame have altered, hindered, enhanced or destroyed relationships? Just seems that there is so much more tension in the air.
I have to agree in regards to the Countess being a bit condesending this year. She had a different confidence about her perhaps due to her relationship but she was less passive in her demeanor and quick to become verbally assertive. She denied her involvement in any comment towards Ramona during the Reunion in regards to Ramonas marriage swearing she said nothing whatsoever and to roll the footage so to speak, I knew what Ramona meant, the comment about “Hows that trifecta going by the way” it was said in that tone that was present the entire season.
Ramona, yes far to outspoken, out of line with bringing up the children I agree 100 percent. It was a direct insult but what had me most concerned was you jumping in so defensively at that heated moment it just gave a very verbal Ramona an opening to suggest the same about you and your daughter so I just sat on the edge of my seat hoping it would just end which it did.
Cindy, sorry not a fan. She may be amazing and a best buddy of yours now but there is something about her that sends up the red flags. Bethenny legitimately was a dear friend that you exposed her to whats become an amazing windfall of wealth and fame. With that all in place, I’d bet anything shes still that same person she was with limited money. Cindy on the other hand, she to me seems like a coat tail rider. I just say caution on that one.
Taking up too much time here, in the end, you were amazing this year. Seemed very calm and receptive to most situations. You are the biggest influence of why I watch RHONY.
Enjoy, be well and keep Bobby healthy. Best of health to the rest of the family as well.
July 29th, 2011 at 7:22 am
I wish that I could find a blog that I knew for certain that it would be read by Ramona and Alex. Sonja I’m beginning to paint her as a follower, however, I like Sonja some but nearly as much as before.
Ramona says the worst stuff to the face of others and behind their back. Out of everyone, she would be the person that I would probably have the most fun with but would be scared that she would stab me in my back. She is a bad sport. She can dish it but she can’t take it. I am not sure why Ramona even has friends on the show. She has talked about every one of you guys. Alex is a wannabe. Alex is trying to etch herself in high society. I love the way somebody at the reunion kept telling Alex to stay out of it. Alex has constantly jumped into everyone’s business this season and she is doing it at the reunion. Alex is a nutcase and as I said before, that was proven when after you called her an effing “B” to her face, she bet that you wouldn’t say it again to her face. LOL
I cannot believe that Ramona went there with LuAnn about her family.
Jill I love the dynamics of your family. Your daughter is a nice girl. I think your mother is the best and I just love Bobby. Bobby is an awesome guy and he needs to write a book or hold seminars on being a man, husband and a father. Jill, I don’t ever want you to change. Of course we all can improve on some things but I think that you are a good person and there’s nothing wrong with you sharing your wisdom. I am a harsh critic and if I say you’re good then others must think that you are a saint. LOL….The only advice that I would give you is to treat others how they treat you. I’m not implying that you treat others bad, but what I’m saying is that you are a loyal friend to people. You go out your way to support and to be a friend to people and when its not returned, your feelings get hurt. That has happened to me too, so now if I have a so-called friend and she does not treat me how I treat her then I treat her how she treats me. If she shows no effort in our friendship, well I do the same and by doing so, my feelings aren’t being hurt and I don’t have high expectations for those friendships. Try it!!!
Can you please tell Cindy to calm down a little? I Cindy has bad nerves and everything gets on her nerves. She needs to learn to be more tolerable. Can you please tell LuAnn to keep delivering those one liner’s? She did it the best this year. That one when she told Alex about her Herman Monster shoes was the best. Can please tell Bravo not to film anymore discussions between Kelly and Alex? OMG, its like being stuck in mud. I actually got an headache from watching that discussion between those two in Morocco. Its like Kelly dominating the conversation and Alex is following her lead. Kelly won’t even let her say anything and if Alex manages to get a word in, Kelly then starts directing her breathing patterns. Its the strangest thing to watch.
Just like others, I can’t wait until pt. 2 of the reunion. Blog you after the show.
July 29th, 2011 at 7:40 am
As if I needed to write anymore, I forgot the most important thing that I wanted to say. Jill, I like the way that you try and support everyone.
Can you also tell Ramona that it does not mean that your child is a juvenile delinquent and that LuAnn is a bad parent because her child changed schools? Are they really watching the show? I am not the one to talk about anyone’s kids but I’m sure that Jacqueline’s daughter Ashley from NJ Housewives is the most hated kid out of them all. Avery is not a bad kid, but she does not talk to her parents sometimes like they are her parents. Ramona’s excuse for that is that Avery acts just like her. Well, I don’t think that a kid that acts like Ramona is necessary a good thing. Avery treats Ramona like Ramona is the kid. Alex’s kids are off the chain. I’m not sure why Alex ever got mad at you about the comments made about her kids because the comments were true. The kids were jumping all over you. Her good friend Ramona even ask Alex if she discipline her kids. I’m not talking about their kids, I’m just stating the facts. You shouldn’t get mad over comments that are true.
July 29th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Jill – I think you are amazing! Ramona is off her rocker and Alex is delusional! It’s amazing to me how they don’t see how they are acting! You have kept your class and composure all season and I truly wish you Bobby and Ali all the best! You have a strong family and these other women are jealous of the life you have. The saying of why are girls/women mean for no reason? because they are jealous! Yuck – I have 0 respect for Ramona after this season and how she conducted herself! It started off with her interviewing people and being down right awful to them to her ONLY child saying I don’t know when my parents are coming and going! Her daughter is crying out for help and her pino grigrio eyes don’t see it!
July 29th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Someone needs to introduce Ramona to the concept of “kindness.” To be *kind* is the sort of 4 letter word you DO want associated with who you are; sadly it never will be with Ramona. Honesty is important and a great attribute, but honesty is NEVER an excuse to be unkind.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
Jill I love how REAL you are. I love that you stood up for the children on the reunion and asked that airhead Ramona to STOP. I love your respect for family and how devoted you are to yours. You can clearly see that you and Bobby have mutual respect for each other. Mario seems to just tolerate his wife and I noticed he seemed to be saying … “get pregnant” how? It was sad watching Ramona this season. She seems to be spiraling downward. Enough about her…You keep your fire and your positive attitude and putting it out there for the whole world. You are a wonderful human being, beautiful inside and out. I admire and respect women who empower other women! Keep on keeping on
July 29th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Jill, I have to say that I didn’t get to watch the reunion show yet (I will see it tonight), however I am glad to hear that you, and Bethany are headed in a positive direction. I know how painful it is to break up with a BFF, and wish you both the best, as it broke my heart for you both when it happened.
July 29th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
I have watched RHONY since the beginning and can’t believe the way that it has evolved. Ramona is quite obviously an alcoholic!! Denial doesn’t make it not so!! Alex is simply the “VICIOUS MOUTH OF THE BLONDS”. They don’t seem to know how to speak for themselves – much less do they have manners of any kind – always interrupting. I don’t know how Cindy can stand it. You, Jill, have taken enough from Ramona. She is a vicious, manipulative woman who considers herself sheer perfection while TV observers see her and her peers on the panel as pathetic examples of “mature” women!!!!!
Jill, keep up your chin. Kudos to you and LuAnne and the others for always being the ladies that you are!!
July 29th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
Jill, I’m confused. You say you don’t like surprises when Bethenny was at Ramona’s and you had no idea, but you expected everyone to be kind to your surprise of showing up on the island. You can’t have it both ways. If you’re going to complain about being “surprised” by someone’s appearance, you cannot then surprise someone else with your appearance.
Otherwise, keep doing you!
July 29th, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Jill, please stay true to yourself. I bleieve you let the COuntess come between you and Bethenny. LuAnn does meddle! Kelly is insane!!!!!!! If you should stay away from anyone, it is her. “Nice” ????? She think’s she’s “nice” Hilarious!!! I sing this little ditty to the tune of Chic C’est La Vie…. “She’s a Crazy Freak, Kel-ly Ben-Simon”!!!!!
July 29th, 2011 at 11:59 pm
Jill Zarin – You are a classy, sophisticated, smart and savy woman. You handled yourself with such dignity on the reunion show. I was extremely proud of you. You challenged Ramona and Alex’s and for that you stand number one in my book. You could not have said anthing better than what you did on the reunion show. Challenging them was a good strategy. Thank you for everything.
July 30th, 2011 at 12:42 am
Hi Jill,
From the beginning you are the one who really understands what it means to be a friend. It is clear that you have had a strong upbringing with your Mom and your family. Please don’t apologize or change who you are. It seems that you, Lou Ann and Kelly really seem to understand that true friendship does not bring stress and unrest into the friends life. Rather is is an affirming relationship with true happiness for your friends successes. The idea that friends have fights all the time and then have to make up is really not correct. For most of the time fiends don’t fight. It is a rare thing to have a fight with a true friend. Don’t change or apologize for anything. Some of the other girls are very insecure and want to be a part of things that you were already a part of. Just be Jill. Although I am not Jewish, you are and you know what is right and how to be a real friend. I have many jewish friends and they are all really fabulous. Just be Jill Zarin, the fabulous person that you are. I would love to have you for a friend.
Jane
July 30th, 2011 at 12:58 am
Jill, I am so happy to hear that you and Bethanney have been in contact. You two deserve to be friends. You are both really, really REAL people, very honest and nice. I hope the two of you make up. Also, I need to ask this, why is LuAnn friends with Sonja when Sonja dissed LuAnn’s music video? Did Sonja apologize? Another thing, did you see Watch What Happens Live Thursday night with Ramona? Um, can you say “FACE LIFT”? She insulted you at the reunion saying she didn’t need a liquid face lift. No she needs major plastic surgery and she got one ! OMG, you are so much prettier, real, honest and kind than thoese blonds. I love you, LuAnn, Kelly and Cindy. I heard rumors that Cindy is not coming back. Tell her to come back next season ! Keep up the great work. I would love an autograph from you. Is there anyway to get one?
July 30th, 2011 at 1:05 am
I thought you had more class, you are unbelievably mean. I liked you before reunion. You have no class, mean girl!!!!!!!
July 30th, 2011 at 4:09 am
Take the high road, Jill. Doesn’t matter what the others do. Do it fir yourself and Bobby. I’m happy you’ve been in contact with Bethany. I hope you can repair that friendship and that piece of your heart.
July 30th, 2011 at 4:09 am
jill, you are beautiful and witty and funny, but iam very disappointed in bravo, i have commented on the blondes bravo blogs and of course they have not been nice comments and not once has bravo posted my comments to alex , ramona, sonja, and andy mentioned at the reunion that the blondes were his favorite and when ramona came on after the show with denise he also said that ramona is his favorite, how unfair is bravo? very onesided and very unfair. please say something to bravo about this.
I sent sonja a comment about enough with the pecking order and explained to sonja that the words PECKING ORDER originated from the behaviors of chickens. that a chicken would peck/attack another chicken of lower class to gain dominance over another chicken and that it was nothing short of cannibalism. well that must not have set well with andy or bravo because it did not get posted. also i mentioned in ramona blog that she needed to clean out her back yard before she tried cleaning out luanns and that she was attacking luann about her parenting skills because luann gave her husband a wonderful compliment and that ramona insecurities were showing by going off on luann about her parenting skills and that avery did a good job of telling all of the bravo viewers that her parents left her home alone every nite and never called her but that never got posted. and that ramona feels threatened by luann because of that compliment she gave ramona about her husband, and i sent alex a comment about her being a bully and that her blogs did not match her lack of intelligence on the show and bravo never posted it. but i have noticed that bravo post alot of negative haters on your blogs and kellys and luanns and cindys, it is not fair. i also sent sonja one saying she lived in a make believe world with statesmen and aristrocrats and that ramona looked every bit her age or older and how hard ramona tries to convice us all she looks younger, and she really believes it but we dont. so just wanted to know the viewers have your back but bravo does not. and we are getting so sick and tired of andy and ramona and alex calling kelly crazy and doing the crazy sign, she is not and it is getting old. next time they do that to kelly please tell them something like it takes one to know one. although kelly is not one. or when ramona is doing the coocoo sign when referring it to kelly, just tell ramona when she does that, it looks like she was just released from the funny farm and that you will help her find her straight jacket when you get a minute and will be glad to send her on merry way back to the funny farm. but they really do need to put ramona in a straight jacket because she is crazy! and when alex is making those ugly faces at the brunettes just ask which funny farm she came from so that you all can get her back there safely. (lol) next time alex says cindy needs to get laid just tell her she needs to mind her husband store by keeping her man happy because he looks so unhappy all the time so alex must not be doing her job in bedroom (lol) best of luck- hope all the brunettes come back
oh and next time ramona calls you a loser, tell her she is just saying that to make her feel better about herself and dont let the blondes get away with bullying you again. and when ramona brags about herself please tell her that she is so insecure when she does that and when she says she looks younger please for us the viewers tell her that she every bit of her age or more.
ps i forgot to tell you jill that i also sent ramona a comment about mario laying a hand on you and that she should not have swept that under the rug and i hope you call the local police next time he touch you and i also sent told ramona not to worry so much about luann trying to get her man but that she should worry about sonja and also told her that the cameras dont lie that mario had his hands all over sonja and that his eyes popped out and jaws dropped out every time he saw sonja or another woman. they did not post that one either…..and when ramona thought she was pregnant that she tells mario that hadnt he noticed her boobs had gotten bigger and he didnt say anything. no he didnt notice because he is tooooo busy looking at other women. and she said the other nite to andy has long as he doesnt touch, he has touched sonja and held her hand. jill what is up with mario and sonja? so let bravo know you know that they are not posting our comments to the blondes. luv ya

Jill, as much as I love watching you weekly,it is becoming more and more difficult to stay tuned when I have to look at Simon and listen to Alex. I wish Bravo would wake up and see that – it’s stomach turning. I don’t know how much more I can take. BTW, as usual, you look gorgeous!! Please share – what brand makeup do you wear (foundation) and are you wearing lashes?! Please tell!
July 30th, 2011 at 5:00 am
Hey! I’m a huge fan of the show and loved the days when you and Bethenny were BFFs. Now the show is becoming a little TOO crazy and petty believe it or not. As I was watching the reunion I had a hard time actaully supporting or liking a housewife. One thing that bothered me was your reaction to the kids being brought up…didn’t you insult Alex’s kids all last season? I’m not an Alex fan, but don’t be a hyprocrite. Peace, love and stop fighting with all these crazy women!
July 30th, 2011 at 5:56 am
I MADE my husband watch the reunion with me and he asked who my favorite was and I said your name. After a few minutes he asked who you (not knowing you were my favorite) were because you seemed to be the class act and held your composure.
I adore you and love the way you stand your ground, have a huge heart and say what is on your mind! If you are ever in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area – let me know and we will be happy to show you some southern hospitality for our favorite housewife – or least let you know our favorite places!
Can’t wait for your shapewear to come out!!!
Hugs & Kisses from your southern ladies!!!

I meant to say one more thing that made me laugh out loud was the Ramona pregnancy scare! I about fell over my hot flash fan, laughing about that poor delusional 54 year old woman who thought she might be pregnant – Get Real Ramona!!!
July 30th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
Salutations,Jill. I am an ardent fan of yours since the beginning of rhony. I’ve attempted to connect with you on Twitter to no avail. Perhaps it is because I am ten years your senior or most likely because I am a retired person.
Please do not discont the abilityof women my age who still look ,feel, and contribute well to their communities. Your viewing audience consists more than what Bravo stats will reveal. just becase we are older does not mean we are not sexy or desireable…just sayin’ thanks for reading this post (I hope)

Jill, you are my FAVORITE housewife!! You and the rest of the brunettes are by far the more sophisticated ladies of the bunch. You hit the nail on the head a few times this season and on the reunion show when you said Ramona can dish out but she can not take it. How true. What’s her opening line, if you really can’t handle the truth that’s not my problem, really Ramona when you can’t handle the truth you change the subject or say I don’t want to go there. As for telling Alex that she’s a F’ing b@&*! I loved it. She really is, that woman needs to get a like and pay more attention to her sophmoric husband. Really Simon red leather pants. I believe Billy Idol just called and he wants his pants back. Looking forward to next season.
July 31st, 2011 at 12:53 pm
I, along with a group of 12-15 people have met up weekly to watch the show. We have never missed an episode since the beginning. However, due to the train wreck of this past season and the tragic part one reunion show, we have decided to disband our weekly dinner with the RHONY and vowed to not watch part two of the reunion. We all are deeply saddened how far the show has declined. I fear unless either there is a change in casting or somehow you all go bact to your roots, the show is going to be cancelled. Best of luck!
July 31st, 2011 at 1:43 pm
Jill ~ You are the center of the show and it just wouldn’t be the same without you. You are real which is what we all love. Thanks for owning up to your mistakes. Please keep being you and we will keep watching. Love your look, smile, hair, etc.! Loved your menopause knocking on the door comment. So made me laugh. Honestly, in the bathroom on the boat checking at 54 to see if she’s pregant?!?! She still doesn’t get it. We so understand your frustration with Alex. Next season, if possible, just let it go. She’s so not worth the stress. She’s in a league way below the rest of you (in all ways including looks, intelligence, class, etc.). Trying so hard but it’s just not working. Don’t worry. We all see it. Thanks again for being you! Have a great next season! We’ll be watching!
July 31st, 2011 at 9:52 pm
I love, love, love you Jill! You are right – Alex is an effing bitch! She constantly accuses others of things she’s just as guilty of; notably talking about others behind their backs and interupting others. She’s a rightous witch and I hope she and that sexually confused wackjob husband of hers are kicked off the show.
July 31st, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Love, love, love you Jill! You’re refreshing and real. Keep that witch Alex and that wackjob husband of hers in their places. She has turned into such an arrogant bitch. I’m glad you are no longer trying to be her friend. She’s no friend!
August 1st, 2011 at 1:14 am
Jill,
You have been my favorite from day one.I am so glad & proud of the way you did not take any crap from the blonds.You know that you were as genuine as any person can be this year. You really showed them that you are a good person,& could only learn from your mistakes.Unlike Alex, it is so pathetic -low how Alex and her wife Simon are constantly making obvious negative comments towards you, on their blog, their twitter, etc. Oh my,they are so jealous of you. You are smart, intelligent, well respected,generous, and all the charities you are a part of is amazing.I love watching the show because of you, and I pray Simon -Alex are not on next season. I dont think i would look forward or want to watch it. love you xoxox
August 1st, 2011 at 1:33 am
i have to say that when all the stuff happened with you and Bethenny – I waited to see how you would work things out. Then i watched you this season with total disappointment. I was embarrassed for you that as a grown woman and Jewish at that – you continue to play the victim with everything that happens in your situations. I was embarrassed for ALL the housewives – you guys brought the show to a whole new low! I will hope that all of you will just suck it up and stop with all the meaningless drama – its sad the kids are more grown up than all of you. As for you reaching out to Bethenny – I feel you will now that she has become a HUGE success but I think she is doing fine on her own and the best thing for her and her new fam is to keep all RHONY out of her life. Sorry for the negativity but i really expected more from you more than any of the ladies. I wish you the best always and hope you will work harder on being more productive for charities and positive things next season.
August 1st, 2011 at 3:53 pm
So happy to hear that you and Bethenny have been in contact! From watching the show over the past few years, it is obvious how much you two care about each other. Good luck!
August 1st, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Jill,
You are, by far, my favorite Housewife of all. You are gorgeous, educated and funny. Your mannerisms and body language is awesome as well. You and the rest of the brunettes are very mature New York women. I find the blonds amusing and unbelievable. Anyway, congratulations on your massive fan base and all your accomplishments. You remind me of my mother (I think you are both the same age actually), and I definitely agree with you on the Mario incidence. You should not put up with stuff like that. Pushing, shoving and manhandling is wrong for so many reasons. Stay strong and look forward to watching Part 2.
August 2nd, 2011 at 1:17 am
Well, I have to say, I was not impressed that Alex broke her pact, but can you blame her after seeing the name calling? Maybe you should have let her know you said that. And to that, I would also be upset if I felt my friends were being gossiped about every turn, so you can’t blame her for standing by Sonja and Ramona. Maybe next season you will tone it down a little. I’d love to see more about your fabulous life and less about your anger of others.
August 2nd, 2011 at 2:18 am
I think Alex and Ramona are low class BITCHES Jill Luann Kelly you all rock love you guys you keep it real and have a ton of class i truely believe Class is something you are born with and lets just say there something money cant buy
August 2nd, 2011 at 2:44 am
Jill, I have enjoyed watching you so much throughout the seasons, I think you are honest, sincere, and you own who you are without letting anyone’s opinion affect your attitude. I was disappointed with how much of a diva Ramona was, and very critical of her attitude towards you. I think she has no idea what a functioning alcoholic is, but you can’t help someone who doesn’t think they have a problem. I hope and wish you and your family the best, and I hope you NEVER change!!! You are one of my favorites, and I love watching you!!!!
August 2nd, 2011 at 3:06 am
Jill, I really used to like you in previous seasons and I’m sorry but I really think you’re blind some times to the feelings of the other housewives. And I would “watch out” for Luann because honestly I think her relationship with you is only when it’s convenient for her. You’re a mean girl, and act like you’re still in high school, but you are who are. People can’t judge you from a TV show, and I understand that must be frustrating. I still love you xoxox
August 2nd, 2011 at 4:03 am
Just watched the 2nd finale, yikes! It’s clear that Ramona was counseled to say all those things (you guessed it, by her sidekick Sonja)! Ramona is too simpleminded to think of all the comebacks during the 2nd finale. The blonde’s are true to form, all three have major issues. Man, I’m happy this season is done with! I couldn’t of taken anymore of it!!!!!
August 2nd, 2011 at 2:32 pm
Hey Jill, I felt bad that you got ripped apart at the reunion. It seems that no matter what you do, the other girls will find something wrong with it. I am glad that you continue to be you, and have the strenth to ignore it. Don’t bother with their comments, they seem to have nothing better to do. And what is with Alex this season? I think she needs to be medicated..lol. Take care!!
August 2nd, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Jill, I think you have the most real personality on the show. Your philosophy, “You stop lying about me and I’ll stop telling the truth about you,” is absolutely perfect. This applies to my life in so many ways. Thank you for being a role model and knowing when to say things, even if they may hurt someone, to help benefit themselves because a true friend is never afraid of telling the truth even if it does hurt. You are nothing like Ramona and for that I am proud because you say it how it is because you honestly care while she just does it to be mean and get a reaction! Thanks Jill and I can’t wait to see next season!
August 2nd, 2011 at 7:56 pm
Jill
When this show first started I thought you and Bethenny were like Lucy and Ethel. What a breath of fresh air the two of you were! unfortunately you let your jealousy get the best of you and ruined a truely great friendship and a potential powerhouse of a moneymaking partnership. Well, live and learn. I think you are smart and attractive and I will never understand how you can be lead aroung by that snotty, condascending , classless troll Luanne, let alone actually giving breathing space to Kelly. WHAT A WHACK JOB!!!! You and Bethenny played off of one another so well you guys made that show hilarious and an actual pleasure to watch. You need to learn that things cant always go on your time schedule and you sometimes have to seize the moment! I truely believe that Luanne did not want you and Bethenny together because if you were you two would have overpowered her “singing career” and she never would have gotten the time of day. Please dont be taken in by Kelly, she is an accident waiting to happen and no one wants to be in that fall out! If it is indeed true that you and Bethenny are talking I think it is great but that dynamic duo that you two were can never be duplicated.
August 2nd, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Jill You did great tonight. I loved the way you stuck up for Luann when that nutcase Ramona attacked her daughter, who does that? I really can’t stand Alex. Why is she on the show?
Love you Jill!
August 2nd, 2011 at 8:52 pm
OMG I love you so much Jill. You are so wonderful!!
August 2nd, 2011 at 11:08 pm
I want you to know that I feel that you and Ramona have changed alot from the 1st season of the show. The first season I really liked you and thought that Ramona was a real pill. But over the last 2 years the two of you have changed. I feel that Ramona has really worked to renew herself. Yes she does still have an unfiltered mouth and should think before she speaks. But I really don’t feel that she is mean spirited. Now as for you I thought that you changed but not in a good way. It seems to me that you intentionally tried to hurt others inparticular Alex. I have never understood why you are so hateful to Alex. To me it seems like you are acting in jealous of the other women’s successful business ventures. I’m not trying to hateful to you in my comments but I really would like to see you actually work on you attitude to others. I really would like to see you go back to the way you were in the 1st season, because that is the Jill that I really liked. By working on this I really hope that you will become successful in your business ventures. If the women of New York Housewives became more supportive of each other you would find that you would become alot more successful in everything you do. Women should build each other up not tear each other down. Best Wishes for you, your family and friends for a happy and successful life.
August 3rd, 2011 at 12:04 am
Hi Jill,
Actually you are the only one besides the brunettes I would Blog to in RHONY. The Blondes acted very low class and extremely mean not to mention ignorant. You will noice I said acted. Ramona needs to examine her conscience, if she has one, amd ask her little eveil self if it is worth it to belittle and put lies about you and Lu Ann etc. to make herself look better? Who would use someones children to do that? I applaud you Jill for telling her to stop it or she would deal with you!!! Good Girl, you and Lu Ann have lovely children as do Kelly, Cindy(they are so cute). Oh and we cnnot forget your child Ginger.LOL. I think Ramona is crafty, and underhanded and mean as is Alex. I have watched what we are allowed to see on TV.(Would love to see some out takes, and I see two women who are insecure,and new money wannabees. Alex’s family may have had oil wells, big deal every piece of property in Oklahoma has oil rights( I know she is from Kansas) Oil rights out there are not a big deal. If she came from money she certainly did not acquire the midwest manners and kindness I’ve heard about. Ramona has always reminded me of one of the mean girls in HS, you know the cheerleader that played mean practical jokes on the less popular and then denied it, pretended to be your friend and comfort you and then when she learned something in confidence would use it to hurt you or use it as ammo…..Sound familiar? She is a little blonde BULLY who needs to close her mouth before someone lets her have it right in the kisser. She acts like what she says is common knowledge but she is crafty. I wouldn’t tell her the time of day, as is the same with Alex. Sonja is pretty vulnerable right now but she wants to show her bottom on TV and claim she forgot her underwear, and shows off her bottom at the baseball game thing, ten won’t do a video with Lu Ann for the message it sends? Is she kidding? or Bi-Polar. And Ramona doing a preg. test on the yacht? That was again atention getting away from Lu Ann. Who cares. Lu Ann had a lovely time, her gentlman friend is a cutey pa tooty, and you all were there for her, except for the 2 school children in the bathroom taking a pregnancy test. Just Juvenile, Please tell Ramona, Alex, Sonja to GROW up and be real women like you,Cindy,Kelly ,Luann and you children, because even as young as they are, they are far more the ladies at their tender age than the blonde crew can ever hope to be. Love you,and your family, Bobby is a doll I’m happy for you all. YEA JILL!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 12:12 am
Jill,
You might be happy to know that I DVR the show BECAUSE I have to be able to fast forward through the bug-eyed blonde and her high school antics.
Please consider NOT apologizing for who you are; it cheapens you. I think you’re fabulous and positive and it pains me to see the girls attacking you (because they know they can) and to hear you respond with apology after apology. They need to take their fair share of the blame when things go wrong. You have a sharp tongue. So what? Keep doing your good work and bringing the joy. I’m rooting for you.
P.S. Alex is an idiot.
August 3rd, 2011 at 1:33 am
What a difference a year makes. You owe no one an explanation about changing or not. Good people get thrown into bad situations and look how it turned around for you….
I am glad you mentioned Cindy. No one else does…PLEASE try and get Cindy to come back. You she and Kelly are so good for eachother. She is kind and patient. She took a lot of unecessary crap this year and shame on Morticia for being so cruel.
The company you keep remphasizes the fact that you are an amazing kind hearted women who has been thrown into the dragon’s lair. If you can count people like Cindy and Kelly as your friends you are blessed.
How soon Morticia forgets what it’s like to be the quiet one, the one Ramona seethed at ad nauseum and even this year the one who thinks she’s G-d ripped her to shreds.
I hope after the way Morticia and Grizzly Adams treated you in front and behind the camera that Bravo finds a good reason to give them the axe.
He sabotaged her relationship with others on the show, soon enough he will sabotage her modeling career as well. Seriously she is the one who needs to watch out….
August 3rd, 2011 at 4:39 am
I wish somebody would of put a muzzle on Alex so others could actually answer questions. She had to put her 2 cents in for every question and Andy just let her. Alex is a bully and likes to create drama for others. Also, if Alex and Sonja are Ramona’s true friends, they would be trying to get Ramona some help for her drinking.
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:35 am
JILL YOU ARE AMAZING!! You have been my favorite since day 1!! You are real, you speak what u feel, and you really do care about other people and their feelings! Real friends like you are hard to find, so in my book the dumb blondes are the ones missing out!! Let them act like babies and treat each other like crap, YOU don’t deserve that crap!! You know who you are, you know your husband loves you, you have good friends, and a wonderful family.. Who cares what those bimbo’s say or think.. they are so annoying.. the show would be much better if they weren’t on it!! Stay who you are, stay true to yourself and your REAL friends, and piss on the negative people!!
LOTS OF LOVE!!!!!!!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Jill, Just have to weight in on the Alex thing. She really needs to get off this show, in seasons before when she shut her mouth, the show was so much more enjoyable but since she has been so hateful I have a hard time watching. My vote is to get her off the show and it would flow so much better. I can stand Ramona because we all know she is full of it. Alex is a liar and back stabber and it pains to watch her and her weird husband. I am sending you prayers of peace and love. Continue to be the lady you are. Hugs and love ya!
August 3rd, 2011 at 11:56 pm
Love the reunion show even though it gave me a headache. I think there was a lot of backstabbing from both side but think it must be hard not to get caught up in all the drama. Ramona is mentally ill or the alcohol has damaged her brain. She is the worst roll model for her daughter and watching her body language, she knows there is truth in Mario cheating. Alex and Simon are low class nobodies trying to be somebodies. creepy couple!
August 4th, 2011 at 4:25 am
Jill – I’ve never commented before but I wanted to say that you looked BEAUTIFUL at the reunion – your hair was gorgeous and that necklace is stunning. I love your blunt way of speaking – it is obvious that it comes from a good place. And really what woman doesn’t enjoy some gossip now and then? Your husband comes across as a very nice man and it is obvious that he supports you and is protective of you – just as it should be! I wish you all the best and hope you are on the show next season – RHONY would be nothing without you!
August 4th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Jill, Me again,,did not read yours before my first comments. Peace and Love…thats it. Cannot believe the people you have to film with. Bobby so says it all…and do not mess with his wife…love it…but anyway, you look and act wonderful and like the lady you are. I wrote to you in old-fashioned letter, I know, because it is such a stretch between you, your family, and the others represented. You guys are real, big hearts, no pretense, and sometimes you are going to have to use a big mouth like the others “ladies” because you do not deserve the treatment you get. You, Bobby, Ally are a class act.. some day I hope to meet you….the great people of New York…not the clowns. Keep mopping the floor with Ramona on reunions. haha God Bless..
August 4th, 2011 at 11:11 pm
Hi Jill, I am from Australia and watch the show online. I just luv you and LuAnn. You are both very classy ladies. I love your bluntness and LuAnn’s gift with how she words comments, lol….it cracks me up……..Ramona drives me nuts, can’t stand her and well Alex is just an arse licker……..I can’t stand her or Simon. I reckon get them off the show…..you should call Alex (Toenails as thats all you’d see coming out of Ramona’s arse being that Alex is so far up it.)….haha……….anyway, I hope there is another season. Just also wanted to add that I loved you hair on the 2nd reunion show, it really suits you. Goodluck!!
August 4th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
Jill, are you worried about NY housewives being recast as a result of all the negativity surrounding the reunion shows?
August 19th, 2011 at 7:09 am
I <333 NYC …. it make me so pround I live here …. of course Jill is my fav …. Like all the others are rude , fake people !!!
