    I love you, Jill, and RHONYC will never be the same without you. Now onward and upward to a talk show of your own!

    Hey Jill,

    Kind of Happy for your departure from Housewives. Your better than them Jill, sweeter, kinder and normal! I will no longer watch RHONY will not be as dun without ur presence.. Ur hubby, Mom and Daughter are more valid in ur life. I thought Bethanny did u wrong. A friend is a friend is a friend. She was not tour friend. Ya can’t disconnect from a person that loves you that quickly she had her own agenda as painful as that was for u I’m glad u saw thru her.. Finally.. I wish u much continued success in all ur future endeavors! Much love Jill, take the high road cause it a terrific lady!

    Too bad bravo made a Huge mistake! Viewers are pissed!
    Many blessings… Always,
    Lisa

    I just have to say Jill….u are my favorite housewife!! I would be a bit sad, if you did not continue with another season.
    I think you & Bobby are a great couple!!

  6. Helen Hunter said:

    Dear Jill

    Please don’t think I am being forward but I would like to leave my love and support for you. You have made an impact through being on the show. You have a quality which is of kindness and wisdom which shone throughout the series, but with all the terrible consequences came the bad press and attack of your charactor. What people don’t seem to realise is that you are part of a reality show that needed conflict and you gave as good as you got. The difference between you and the other “ladies” was that you had the love and support of Bobby who only wanted to be your champion and not like the other men who desired the limelight. I know you will rise above the show like a pheonix from the ashes, shining brightly and taking on the next challenge of life with dignity and honour. Good luck and shine brightly in your next endeavour.

    With love

    Jill I am absolutely appalled that they fired you and kept Ramona. She is a sick human being. She is disgusting. I cannot watch the show without you!!! How did Andy let this happen?!?!?!?!?!

  8. Carolyn Aldrich said:

    Jill,

    You are my favorite Housewife and Bobby is my favorite husband! Never miss a show. Keep up the great work!

  17. Kimberly Moir said:

    I am truly sad that you are leaving RHONY. You add so much color to the show. I wish you and your family well.

  18. Tanya said:

    I REAAAALLLY hope it isn’t to say you aren’t returning to RHONY. If that’s the case, I definitely won’t watch any longer.

    Jill
    You and Bobby were the best thing on the NYHW’s. I hope you find something that will showcase your great personality and pinasche as well as Bobby’s stealth (strong but quiet) sense of style and presence. You should do a show that features your store and maybe interesting clients/homes, etc. Also, definitely include Brad. He is hysterical! It would be such a great mix.
    During one of my trips to NYC I visited your store a couple of years back. Bobby was there with his son. He was so gracious and welcoming. I know he probably sees many people every day that watch the show. That has to be tiring.

    It was time to move on but take advantage of your standing and do something better like the above. I watched the housewives out of curiosity at first. Then I loved seeing parts of the City in the episodes – the first few seasons were the best – I loved the outdoor gay party you, Brad and Bethenny went to and were dancing. Brad was so funny – or when he was remodeling your apt. The last 2 seasons were not so great. The fighting and such was not cool. Separate yourself from that and reach for something more – it will be a big hit.

    Best of luck to you and Bobby! I’ll be watching to see your new show…hope you do something soon. Even if it’s on Oxygen or one of the other cable networks – then run it in same time slot as NY Housewives.
    Have a great day!

    RHONY will not be the same without you. That said, it seemed to be too toxic so I think it is best you are moving on with better projects. Looking forward to seeing you on your own show in the future! Stay positive and true to yourself. And know your fans adore you…..

  24. lori said:

    jill, Would love to hear your take on the newest development.

  25. Debbie said:

    Please tell us you will be coming back next season!

  26. Tracy said:

    Jill–So sorry to hear you will not be returning to RHNY. You were always my favorite. And, even though the Countess is still on there, don’t think I can watch it anymore. Would have been better to rid of the blondes and keep the brunettes! (And, I’m a blonde!) Can’t wait to hear what you are up to!

  27. Linda De Nardis said:

    Whats the real truth about you not coming back to the show

  28. Deborah Long said:

    Hi Jill, just wanted to let you know that I cannot wait to receive your personal letter via weekly newsletter. I have a feeling that it is the news regarding your contract with Bravo RHONY. I honestly and truly hope to see you for season 5. I am sitting on the edge of my seat awaiting this letter. But I have no doubt that your contract will be renewed. RHONY would not be RHONY without you. You are truly the star of the show. Luv ya Jill. TEAM JILL. PS. I just seen the news via Facebook that Alex & Simon are not returning which saddens me but like I said I’m anxiously awaiting your news. I don’t even know if I can continue to watch RHONY if you are not on it.
    Much Luv (you’re #1 fan),
    Deborah Long

    jill, you are my favorite housewife, you to me are the most sincere. i will miss watching you.

  31. Margie christian said:

    I really am so sad that rhony has ended for you and Alex. I really believe if you original girls would have talked things thru and listened to eachother, it would have been fine. On the first season we felt chemistry and comfortable. When the others were brought on it seemed as though it changed, too much. There really is a difference between gossip (which all girls love) and being mean and malicious! Jill was beloved as was Alex. It’s such a shame. If anything, I have always felt LuAnn was the catalyst for a lot of the problems. A lot of the problems she used to her advantage, and then would stand back and play innocent. Gonna miss Jill but we all know she’ll do great.

  32. Christine said:

    Good luck

  33. Tim said:

    Without you I am done with the show and hope that one day you and B make up.

  36. Vicki said:

    Just heard a rumor that you, Kelly and Alex would NOT be back next season. Is that true? Alex just confirmed her dismissal on her own page, and I was heart-broken. What is going on Jill? :(

  37. Jeff Kramer said:

    The best mover Bravo ever took was firing you Jill! It’s time to celebrate the vile viper has been defanged and fired.

  38. lydia brown said:

    So mean and two-faced. Finally you and Kelly get axed. Since you loved making fun of Ramona, maybe you can give bob a foot massage while others are filming. After you treated BF so badly, thought you would learn. All you are after is fame. “Surprise, surprise” “money can’t buy YOU class” I will miss alex and your sweet daughter.

  39. janet said:

    Dear Jill,
    I will miss you on Housewives. You were the only one that brought class to the show. Now on to bigger and better things for you. Wishing you all the best!

  40. Jamie Biering said:

    Jill, I love you! You are such an amazing Lady! XOXOXOX

  41. Judy A said:

    If rumors are true and you are not on the show next year I will not be watching anymore. Hope they are just rumors although Alex needs to be fired.

    Jill you are fabulous and I loved you since the first time I saw you on tv. I think you are always 100% on everything you say and do and I do feel that you are real to yourself. I watched you struggle with who you are this last season and I think you shouldn’t have. All the arguments with bethanny and the other girls were never caused by you and you deserved to be upset.You were backstabbed once they did not need you anymore. Sometimes I would have to change the channel because there were so many things that I wish you would have said to some of them. My husband thinks I am crazy because I get so upset, but he doesn’t understand because he is not a NY Jewish mom but watching you does make him somehow understand my crazy. Mazel!

  49. Teresa said:

    Jill, I will miss you. While it may seem crazy, you feel like one of my real friends. You have been an inspiration to me.

  50. Barbara Sliwoski said:

    Jill, I adore you and Kelly, and it pains me to know I’ll no longer be able to watch you on the show. I can’t stomach Ramona, so shame on Bravo for keeping her. I don’t use twitter but enjoy following and reading about you. My very best to you and Bobby. I know you’re taking this well and will be ok, but the show won’t be the same without you.

  51. Barbara said:

    Just sent a message: I don’t want it displayed on internet, it was meant just for Jill. If it can be deleted from general public, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

  52. Edgar Dworsky said:

    Jill, my darling… you will be missed greatly.

  53. CadEddie said:

    Really going to miss you on Real Housewives of New York City. You absolutely made the show. Andy Cohen made a -big- mistake letting you get away. I have no intention of watching the show as they have now decimated it (getting rid of Alex however, was long overdue).
    Rest assured other opportunities will come your way. I know we haven’t heard the last of Jill Zarin!

  54. karen said:

    without you on RHON i wont watch. to me you DO represent NYC. you have a business, family and are successful. I wont miss Alex she is fake and her husband, well fill in the blank. I wish you the best. Lots of love! Karen

    Hi Jill,

    So sorry to hear about housewives. You where the reason I watched. You kept it

    Have a sweet, happy and most of all a healthy New Year.

    All the best,

    Thanks for your upcoming letter, we appreciate it. I’ve been twittering @bravoandy @bravotv @bravopr @andycohen and i’m NOT the only one… ANDY’s response: “some decisions hurt, but the show must go on”. I thought I was going to puke. #TEAMJILL. love you and alex and kelly, i thought NOTHING should change. Cindy wasn’t even given much of a chance.

    Hi Jill,

    Please tell me it’s not true about you returning to Bravo. If it is true, I’m so disappointed, because you are my favorite on that show. I’m sure you have good reasons, but I wanted to let you know how much I admire you, Bobby, Ally, your Parents, and your Sister. If you are ever in Vegas, my family makes the best Italian food, and would love to have you and your family over for dinner…(not kidding). I wish you, Bobby and your family best Health, and may God bless you Always! Love, Joanne

    Dave

    The RHONY will NOT be the same without YOU?!?! What is Bravo thinking?! The ratings are going to crash :(

  71. Lisa Romano said:

    Jill Zarrin -

    You totally rock – You are my favorite housewife on RHNYC. I love your down to earth – say it like it is – no nonsense approach to life – you are very warm and genuine and you don’t put on airs . Its very apparent that you have a really big heart and you go above and beyond to help your friends. Yet, you say it just like it is – no beating around the bush – I love that about you – I hope you come back for season 5 – in my social circle – we love you!

    I caught you on Fox News talking about the Obama administration and you really held your own – I was very impressed with how you handled yourself considering you were dealing with some pretty hard core news people that are very intense and intellectual and take themselves a little too seriously.

  72. Kim said:

    wish you all the best and will not be watching Real Housewives of NY any longer.

    Jill, I have enjoyed your journey with the audience since your first season!!!! I too, have had a “break up” with close girlfriends I thought would be my friends forever. As you know, life goes on. I cherish the memories and let the rest role off my back. I hope yoy are at peace with everything and having a great summer!!! Hi to Bobby.

  75. Tina said:

    Love watching you on the Real Housewives of New York. I think that if you are not on the show it will just not be worth watching. The show will lack that something special without you.

  76. Tina said:

    you are my favorite housewife. I just cant watch the show if you are not on it.

  77. Tina said:

    love you on the show

  79. Terry said:

    I was sad to hear of Bravo’s decision. I have enjoyed wayching you. Since Ramona makes me too mad to watch, I will no longer watch New York Housewives. I have no doubt you will hold your head high and be the lady you are. Best wishes now and in the future.

  88. Laura said:

    Dear Jill,

    I already posted on the Bravo blog that I hoped the rumors weren’t true. You were the one who started up the New York franchise. I even heard that you hand picked every cast member the first season. I honestly think that you received terrible backlash from all the Bethenny lovers. I understood where you were coming from. You were hurt by her. As soon as her SG line took off and she got a man, she dumped you. I don’t understand why people don’t see that. As for Ramona, she bullied Alex so much and then all of a sudden when Ramona wants to befriend her, Alex forgives and forgets and they’re besties along with Bethenny. You got a raw deal. I see the truth. It’s their loss from your ex-friends. Bethenny and Ramona are the ones who are missing out from having a wonderful person and friend in their life. I wish you only the best in the future.

    XOX

  89. Laurie said:

    And, pray tell – why the hell is the “countess” still on there – she is so pretentious and phony – If anything they should have axed her and the stupid airhead model (maybe they did axe the model) — I don’t know – but I liked Alex and You and the dynamic you had — they can do without pantyless what’s her name, the model and the idiotic horny countess and the mother of the twins that looks like a horse – Whatever, Andy Cohen – you are a douchebag

    Not sure of the proper wording, but I believe my Aunty Ruthie used to say somthing like “gay gazunta hey”…I think the translation is something about rubbish? My yiddish/hebrew is not so good. They’re loss honey, you’re gain!

    Jill you will truly be missed, and I will no longer watch the RHONY. I am still Team Brunette! I can’t believe that Ramona is still on the show. I am so disappointed in Bravo’s decision. At least Alex will not be let back :)

  92. CDDOUGLAS said:

    Hi Jill,
    Just read the article and I am very sad that you will not be on the show. I will not watch the show at all. I do not watch the The Bethany Ever After either. They should have taken Ramona off the show. I am glad that Alex is leaving and her husband. A fan for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks For Sharing Your Life with the Viewers.

    NO JILL NO HOUSEWIVES I WONT BE WATCHING ANYMORE BIG MISTAKE FOR BRAVO! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???

  105. Linda said:

    Well, Andy has done it again – made a horrific mistake. Just the thought of them keeping Rameana and Sonja makes my stomach hurl. I told my husband this morning (after hearing the announcement) that this just what our family needs because this will be one less reality show that I will be following. They should have kept Jill – not the other two poor excuses of human beings. They are so mean, immature and totally without class. Without Jill on the show, the show has no interest for me. My husband was sooo happy to have his wife back. LOL
    Great Job Bravo – ANOTHER BRAZEN MISTAKE!!! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. Ratings will definitely go down!!!

  106. Wendy said:

    I quit watching the show last year because Alex, Ramona, Sonya and Kelly are nuts! So I will say Bravo got some of the firings right. No need to start watching it again. I was surprised that you were one of them. I could never figure why you would ever be associated with such a group of famous wannabes. Good Luck and can’t wait to see what your next adventure is!

  107. AndrewRP said:

    I am sorry you won’t be back…I feel bad that I am glad that the Alex person is gone…but it just won’t be the same without you. I doubt I shall be bothering to tune in. The entire housewives thing is a real bore now, your so much better than that….I wish you and your family the very best!

  108. Kassandra said:

    Jill, very sad to see that you are leaving the show. It will not be the same without you. Although I will be happy that we will not have to see you get attacked anymore it is heartbreaking to see what you have had to deal with over the years. I hope that this is not the last we will see of you but that you will move on to bigger and better. You are an amazing wife mother and business woman.

  109. Candace Campbell said:

    I think you got bushwacked Jill…clearly how Bravo posted nothing but negatives about you and all glowing comments we sent about you were just trashed, foretold the future. This situation has clarified the manipulative, predatory method Bravo uses to skew a show. I am done with Housewives period…although I am elated Alex is axed. You don’t need them and never did. We only love you.

  110. Cats said:

    Jill,
    You made the show, I will not watch the new season of anything on Bravo! The favoritism that this network shows to some is just mind boggling, you will be greatly missed. Please for the sake of your family, DO NOT RETURN EVEN IF THEY BEG! Too much drama, lousy edits and the twisting of words spoken just leads to garbage tv. You are so much better than anything Bravo has to offer! Can’t wait for the newsletter! Love Ya

  111. in Idaho said:

    Jill: Just to thank you for all of the entertainment you have given to the viewers. I for one would like to say a special thank you because I will now have lots more time watching another show because I will not watch the show again

  112. Marjorie said:

    I have absolutely loved you in the show! You’re the most down to earth and genuine of all of the housewives. Cannot believe they’d let you go in the first place, but for them to keep Ramona and Sonja over you is ridiculous! I can’t stand either of them, and I’ve really tried to like them, but I can’t. As far as LuAnn goes, she’s so-so, but she’s so caught up in her own little world, and she’s blown the “duchess thing” WAY out of proportion. And bless her heart, she CANNOT sing! Reminds me of fingernails running down a chalkboard! Will not watch the show any longer, and I really don’t see how it can make it without YOU!!! Good luck in all future endeavors, and I really hope to see you on TV again!!! And by the way, I can’t imagine Alex and that idiot husband of hers actually getting their own show…..can’t stand them either. What is the matter with him? He is disgusting, and the way he dresses is appalling, and I think their relationship is sickening.

  113. Lisa L said:

    OMG…BRAVO has totally just lost it.
    Jill you were the one that started it all and stood by
    them through think and thin. You allowed them to put your most private and hurtful moments out there for all of us to see and this is how they repay you. Well I will never watch another House Wife Show again. RHONY was my favorite and the have taken that away from me. I know that you will continue to fill our lives with new endeavors and look forward to them. Good luck and give Bobby a hug. Please add me to your newsletter!!!

  114. Christine K said:

    Dear Jill,
    I’m sorry to hear they fired you, Cindy and Kelly from the show.
    I understand and am VERY Happy they fired Alex.. happy to see her and her husband go.. Kept asking for them to do that.. I loved it when Bobby stood up for you and let Simon know he knew what Simon was doing to you. I hope you and Bethany will find a time and place to fix the relationship..
    If this does not make the post that is ok, I just hope Jill will read it.

  115. Sara Ann Smith said:

    Jill;
    Now that you are off the show I will no longer be willing to watch it. You are a lady of class and dignity and you were the main reason I was attracted to the show in the first place. I wish you well in all that you are planning and I hope that your family is going well also. Bobby is such a gentleman and more men could learn from him. I can’t wait to see whats next for you and wish you many blessings.

  116. Ali said:

    I just got in to watching the show and you are by far the best bit of it. What a shame you won’t be on it anymore. Good luck on whatever you choose to do next, you just know it has success written all over it.

    Well I am so disappointed that you will not be on the housewives anymore….The only reason I watched the show was because of you…I did always think that you were way to good for it though…I will not be watching new york anymore…no reason to watch now. I hope to see you on another show and am excited about your shape wear coming out! Hugs Jill…Dont let them steal your joy!

    I am so upset that you are not returning to ny housewives. Your are the most real and genuine one of all. I am so glad that I met you and Bobby and your parents when you were at Macy’s Aventura during fashion week .. I would love to know what brava tv was thinking when they let you go!!! Keep your most loyal fan posted.

  119. Donna said:

    Jill, you will be missed. I am very unhappy with Bravo’s decision. :(

  120. IVEL said:

    Hi Jill,
    I know whatever you decide to do it will be awesome. If you need my help here in Miami call on me. It was an honor to meet you in Aventura Macy’s. Gloria signed my book too. I will always treasure the key chain Harry Zarin sent me when I ordered your book and you signed it too. Thank you for making a difference for this Miami Mom Fan! Baruch Hashem for Jill Zarin and Family crossing our paths.

    Jill, I will so NOT be watching RHWNY…. I have been a big fan of you since I first saw the show….. It will be nothing without you!!

  122. Shanna said:

    Jill I love you and the show won’t be the same without you. I can’t believe I am left with Ramona and Sonja. God help us all.

  123. Vinny said:

    Dear Jill,

    What can I write at this point. I was quite shocked and displeaded to hear and read that you were released from RHONY. In my honest opinion, you gave the show its heart and soul. You are generous, kind, beautiful, loving, and most of all the epitome of class and elegance. Thank you so very much for leaving your mark on reality television. I want to especially thank you for writing your fabulous and helpful book, Secrets of a Jewish Mother. At least I’ll always have something to remember you by.

    You will always be my Queen B of RHONY and the outher housewives, as you were my absolute favorite. May G-d continue to bless you and your family. Many blessings to your next endeavor!!!

    May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year!
    Love,

    Vinny!

    Jill! Best of luck in the future! Love you!!!

  125. Leslie said:

    Jill, you are the best, I wish everything good for you and
    your family!!!!

  126. Vinny said:

    Dear Jill,

    I am greatly displeased and saddened by Bravo’s decision to release you from RHONY. I thought that was quite unfair, as you were the heart and soul of the show. You were the glue that held it all togehter! You are also generous, benevolent, loyal, loving, and beautiful! Thank you for your fabulous book, Secrets of a Jewish mother. It will be a souvenir for me to remember your impact on reality television!
    May G-d continue to bless you and you family! I am eager to hear about any subsequent endeavors! You deserve the best in life!!
    No matter who replaces you, you will always be my Queen B of The Real Housewives of NYC and all of the iterations combined!!!

    love,
    Vinny

    GOD SPEED

  128. Debbie said:

    I am surprised and saddened to hear the news about your departure from RHONYC. In my opinion, they retained the real problem person. I think you are great and appreciate your candor and straight forwardness. God bless

  129. Patti Silva said:

    Dear Jill,
    Appalled that they fired you from the cast. You are truly the best business woman of all of them. You have never changed. You have kept your dignity when those around you showed their true colors. I’m going to miss you girl. I guess you didn’t get drunk enough, or show enough skin, or just be a lousy “Friend”, like a few of your cast mates.

  130. Diane said:

    Jill, I will no longer be watching the show. It was you and your lovely family that made it interesting. I wish you, obby, Ally and the rest of your family only the best. Maybe you shoul do your own show. You could be a matchmaker. It would be so cute. I love your style. I am livong with cancer and used to look forward to watching you on TV. Now I can only hope to see you on your new ventures. They got rid of the best. Too bad for Bravo. I know Andy will miss you bunches. I look forward to your newsletter.

  131. toni said:

    Jill, you are my fav I will not be watching this one anymore. I’m glad Alex was taking off though. Andy was always trying to get the rest to say something about you on the after show so I’m sure he was one of the ones helped push you off. Take care may good things come your way.. From oklahoma!!

  132. Terry said:

    Wow! I just heard you got fired, along with Kelly, Alex and Cindy! I really don’t think that was fair… I was looking forward to you developing the typical plot with Kelly and Cindy, not to mention Sonja… Bethany and Ramona had pretty much run its course and I was looking forward to more redemption… the more you “changed”, the more interesting the show got! Alex is too easy and not a lot of fun to watch her and her husband play the fool, but I was waiting to see you go at it with the wannabe Countess… sooner than later! Good riddance to Kelly the whacko airhead and Cindy the self-absorbed narcissist, but I am sure that you would continue to “change” and do a good job with the smarter “girls”! No one has the “class” to take LuAnn to the mat!

  133. Gerry said:

    I will no longer watch Real Housewives of New York. You were the only reason I watched the show. Hopefully it will fold. There is something drastically wrong with Ramona. Good luck with whatever road you follow………….

  134. Nancy said:

    Jill,

    You will see the best thing Bravo ever did for you is to release you from all the negative energy that show was bringing into your life. I truly enjoyed watching you and will not EVER watch NY housewives again! Can’t stand Ramona. Something great will come to you know. Best of luck look forward to seeing you on your next chapter in your life. Best to you and your family.

  135. Edward Maldonado said:

    Jill you were the only reason i watched RHNY and now i dont know if i can , i hope to see back on TV soon, untill then i will watch my dvds of past seasons. RHNY will never be the same!

  136. Jayne said:

    Hi Jill, RHONY is officially OFF my season pass without you. I am choosing to believe this was your choice and not a firing. You were the only one on that show that told it like it was without attacking. Please know you are admired. I think you are one very classy lady. A great role model!
    Best wishes for the future for you and your family!

  137. Lisa Shinn said:

    So sad to hear that you will not be returning to RHONY…Don’t know if I really want to watch it without you! Ramona and Sonya should be the ones departing…you, Kelly and Cindy will be missed, not so much Alex. Many believe she has changed over the years and to the better. Much success on your future endeavors and will be watching out for the ‘new’ beginnings in your life!

  138. Rachael G said:

    Wow! Gonna miss Bobby and Allie. And maybe the dog….no, scratch the dog..the nostril thing was just too gross.

  139. NBuon said:

    Jill.
    I would much rather see Ramona and Sonja go. They both prance around insisting they have class, when really, they have none. You were not one of my favorites either, but you did not put on heirs. You are who are as you say. Good Luck to you.

  140. Penny said:

    I can’t believe Bravo finally wised up and let Alex go, but kept Ramona! What is Andy Cohen smoking??? I would have loved to have seen a fun season with you, Cindy, Kelly, and the Countess without Alex, Simon, and Ramona’s fakeness, meanness, and drama. I do feel sorry for Alex, though, I’m sure she’s spent the summer practicing making crazy faces, stomping around, and coming up with “clever” catchphrases.

  141. Tonya Helms said:

    Jill, I would love to read your letter. I must say I was surprised by the decision.

  142. Jodi said:

    You are my favorite housewife of ALL the housewives (Jersey, New York, Beverly Hills, etc). Bravo just made a HUGE mistake. I’m done watching. Hey, Regis is leaving…It could be LIVE with Kelly and Jill!!!!
    Love you BUNCHES!

  143. Tricia Sheehan said:

    The show will surely falter without you, I always considered you the central figure on this one. I must admit I am not sad to see Kelly, Cindy & Alex go. They needed to. You were a shock. Love all the RH shows, but even as a New Yorker, I will not watch this one any longer. Bobby is by far and away the best husband, and as you know, you are blessed. All the best in your future endeavors.

  144. Christina said:

    I am so p—-d off. What is wrong with those idiots at Bravo?

  145. Pattie Powers said:

    why, why, why are you leaving. Andy has got to be kidding. It won’t be the same without and I won’t be watching/ I can’t stomach Romona much longer. That woman has some serious issues!!

    Love you Jill

  146. Erica said:

    I am at a loss for words… I adore you Jill and your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing all of you with us. I am deeply sadden by bravos decision. I have a feeling they will be regretting it and will be begging you to come back. You are the show!!
    You need your own show! Sending you BIG Hugs & best wishes.

  147. Erica said:

    I am at a loss for words. I am deeply sadden by the decision Bravo has made. I believe it is a huge mistake. You are the show!! I believe they will have a wake up call, and be begging at your feet to return. Thank you for sharing you & your beautiful family with all of us. I hope to see you on TV in the future. Hopefully your own (much deserved) show. Best Wishes & BIG Hugs!!

  148. Rollie said:

    Well, I’m so sorry you won’t be returning to housewives, I won’t be either now. you have always been my favorite and i will miss you. You truly have grown and its sad that some people couldn’t see that. I saw it.But like you said, more doors open so I hope you go on to bigger and better things and get the happiness you so much deserve. (this news comes on a sad day for me, you mentioned you have a best friend named Ginger, my younger cousin Ginger, a police woman, committed suicide so please, no more bad news today) please let me know when you will be in Vegas, i would love to meet you and Bobby. Take care Ms Jill, it’s not goodbye, it’s just moving on to something better (have you ever thought of hosting a talk show…just a thought) all my love, Rollie

  149. Linda said:

    Will miss you Jill ! Sorry things turned out this way !

  150. Debra said:

    I am very sorry to see you leave the show. I had doubts about watching Season 5 due to Ramona, Alex and her husband, but I will NOW, no longer be watching. Bravo has made a big mistake, a mistake I believe will show up in the ratings.
    I wish you and your family all the best.

  151. candida said:

    where is this letter with you side of this story

  152. Michelle said:

    so sad about this…really let go of the wrong folks (with the exception of Alex). i wish you the BEST and will be following along here with your adventures.

  153. Carol said:

    Jill, I can’t imagine watch the Housewives without you on it. I will have a hard time watching Ramona and Sonja…ugh. I hope the replacements are interesting to say the least. They have big shoes to fill, you and Kelly. I am really sad that you are no longer will be on the show. you brought lightness, kindness, humor and most of all, compassion. I think Ramona has issues and Sonja needs to realize that she is middle aged and not a young, hot thing. It’s a sad day for us in Philly !
    I heard a rumor that you are getting your own show and I hope it’s true. Good luck Jill. Please come to Philly and make an apprearance. You really do have people that love you here.

  154. Beth said:

    Jillxoxo. You had a great life before Adrienne Rhonh…you will have a great life after. Happy to have gotten to know u and your fam. Adore your sister Lisa Wexler too. Stopping by Zarin Fabric next month. Love to all.

  155. mindy said:

    I AM SO SORRY NTO HEAR ABOUT YOU NOT RETURNING TO THE SHOW LOVED YOU THE MOST THOUGHTN YOU HAD COURAGE FOR SPEAKING YOUR MIND AND NOT PUTTING UP WITH THE OTHERS COMMENTS I THIUNK BRAVO MAD E A BIG MISTAKE AND THE SHOW WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WISH YOU THE BEST WITH YOUR SKWEEZ AND ANY NEW DEVOLPMENTS YOU HAVE KEEP YOUR FANS POSTED

  156. Nicole said:

    Dear Jill, i am sorry to hear the news, however i believe that there are far more greater things coming your way! you are a true inspiration to me! stay true to yourself! and never change:-)
    kind regards,
    nicole

  157. Laura Hoffman said:

    Jill, you have always been my favorite, and I hate the thought of that program without you. As a Jewish mom of your mother’s generation, I have loved that relationship, the book, your relationship with your daughter, and Bobby. It may be the best thing for you, so we’ll deal with it, BUT PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FANS. You have incredible talent. L’Shanah Tova!

  158. FWingate said:

    Start your own reality show!!! You’d have lots of people watching!!

  159. Theresa Maresco said:

    Jill: I don’t know what BRAVO is thinking, wanting to create more drama…Although I watched RHONJ the last few seasons, this season stinks because of all the family drama. People have enough drama in their own day to day lives without creating any more on TV. Its just sad, to see you, and the other ladies go. I wish you and your family all the best, and I hope to one day see you at Zarin Fabrics, as I am looking to do some redecorating in my son’s room.

  160. Connie said:

    Sign me up Jill.

  161. Marine said:

    Jill you are great. I am waching the real housewives of new york only right now season 3. And I want to say that i think you’re a good and real person.This show make me hateeee Alex. She is so evil so disgusting and such a drama queen.She make all the fight between all of you and after she did it she is acting like she didnt do anything, fake ugly woman. Keep doing what you do Jill! We support you in Israel :]

  162. julia said:

    You were always fun to watch..i’m surprised they kept the countess..she’s boooring. Good luck in the future…you need to be back on TV.

  163. Mina said:

    Dear Jill,

    When I first watched RHWONY i fell in love with you and your family..I was not going to watch any of these shows that Bravo put on but you drug me in and i could not wait until the next week to come into your lifes..

    As for what Bravo did by firing you it is over for me I will never watch that Ranona trash again she gave me such a head ache..I think she is a drunk and I can’t stand her.She is the girl in High school that slept with all the guys but never got to go to the prom..LOL!It seems Bravo like the rest of these shows want nothing but the freeks so let them have them..I would tell the idiots to Kiss where the sun doesn’t shine and never work for those morons again..

    Well I could keep going but I think I had better stop..

    Just remember we all love yhou out here and wish you the best..

    Mina..

  164. Jacky Read said:

    Hi Jill- Really sad to discover that you will not be returning for season 5,don’t think many viewers will be either,myself included! We are almost through season 2 here in England with the first 2 series being shown back to back so I feel that over the past month or so I have really got to know you as a person and regard you as a friend!(hope that dosn’t sound too crazy!)I guess its because you appear to be what everyone would want in a friend and to echo what many others have written previously I have come to admire your honesty, warmth of spirit,depth of character and obvious love for your family and life in general, not to mention your dry wit and sense of humour!I really felt that we got to see the “real” Jill Zarin and that you didn’t compromise yourself just because the cameras were there-unlike some of the other cast members I feel-buts thats probably because you know that the real “you” is good enough!I am sure that whatever you have up and coming will be a success because of your integrity and attitude to life. May you enjoy every happiness that life has to offer. Peace and light to you and your family,with much love Jacky

  165. tricia from brighton UK said:

    Jill you are the best RHWONY! You are a genuine,
    down to earth person who kept it real, while all the others are living on their own planet! Bravo are mad to let you go, & i will not be watching future eps without you. I hope we see more of you here in the UK,please???? love & best wishes to you Bobby & ally, you are such a terrific family. god bless.xxxxxx

  166. Moe said:

    By taking off you, Cindy & Kelly, they are removing 3 of the most authentic cast members. Obviously phoniness will drive the show (except for Luanne) & it will become a soap opera. I’ll miss you three & question whether I will be watching any of the housewife series in future. Thanks for the memories!

  167. margaret said:

    I live in Glasgow, Scotland and we are just getting Real Housewives,from the minute i saw the first episode i must admit i thought you stood out from evryone, we are only on the 4th season i think, i’m just watching your hubby say that his cancer is gone and he is doing great,so whatever season that is, i am so enjoyig your show and think you and Lu-ann are the best (Ramonas eyes freak me out,,they are crazy eyes).Best of luck from Glasgow, we are all hooked. xxx

  168. margaret Leonard said:

    I live in Glasgow, Scotland and we are just gettin RHoNYC and i’m hooked,honestly from the start i clicked with you right away, dont know why, but i did, i think you and your hubby have a great relationship and your girl is lovely, well we are only on the 3rd season here so i dont want to know too much. I also like Lu-ann (Ramona freaks me out a little with those crazy eyes of her’s) cant take to Simon and Alex too much(sorry),best wishes from Glasgow xxx

  169. Joanne said:

    Oh no i cant beleive your leaving the show i only watch it ( from the UK ) because i think your fantastic , the show wont be the same infact i wont be watching it

  170. annie hamilton said:

    Just catching up in UK but read news on internet. Best to get out now lovely lady before it becomes too tacky. Best wishes to you are your family for the future.

  171. Gemma, Notts UK said:

    Jill, I think your great and amazing! I have watched you on real housewives and even shouted at the screen when i have seen you getting attacked…. i have to say you are the best member of the cast by far! Bobby, Ally and you, not forgetting ginger, your all fantastic, a role model and icon to many and I love it! Cannot believe Bravo aren’t keeping you in the show (they must be INSANE!). I would love to hear that your coming to the UK in the future. You carry on staying true to yourself hun and god bless xxxx

  172. Carol Cherry said:

    Jill, I love you! YOu are the only real one, and Bobby is amazing! Will miss you so much but to get away from those others must be a relief. I am afraid that Bethenney has issues that were obviously built up from a very insecure childhood you just caught the brunt of it. I am so sorry you are leaving but who need all that crap x Love ya!
