Jill,
Hubby was a computer hog, but I am glad to know you were here blogging live! The tennis match was so much fun, I love the choice of Simon. Had it worked it would been hysterical!

Jill- I don’t think there is an area to email you directly- but I’m dying to know more about your beauty/exercise routine. You look great! Do tell

I just want to say that Jill, your mom is the best. She has more class in 3 words than anyone I’ve ever known. You are truly lucky to have her as your mom.

If Kelly is such a private person, why is she doing the show ?

Jill, I only read a couple of the other comments
but it seems like they all feel the same way I do.I love you and Bethaney. I did not care for the other HOusewives shows and almost did not view the New York version. However,my love for New York changed my mind. I am so glad I did. I love the show and tape them so I can see them anytime.
You and Bethaney are the classy ones. Bethaney is so beautiful and so funny. I could enjoy spending the day with her shopping. And you, you are the one that I would want to be if I could pick one out of all the ladies to become. Your gorgeous, intelligent, and have a great life. Not just the money and the life style, which believe me that is great also, but you have the family and friends. I love Bobby. He is so handsome and he cares so much for you.And Ally is precious and beautiful. She is going to have the style and grace of her mommie when she reaches womanhood. I also love your mother. She is a character. I am not Jewish but I have many Jewish friends and she reminds me of my best friend that is Jewish. I say this about being Jewish because you know that a Jewish mom is a totally different creature than any other mom. They are great!!!! Bethaney is a lucky lady to be adopted by your parents. They are genuine good people.
Not to be rude or anything like that , but it seems to me that you and Bobby are really the only upper class family. I mean financialy speaking. I guess the countess is maybe in that group but no where near you and Bobby. Although I think she would love for everyone to think so. Speaking of LuAnn, she seems pretty much okay. She is a little over the top with the countess thing, but whatever. As for Ramona, well, I will just say, I do not care for her. If her eyes pop out any further they will hit the floor. And Mario should have kept his mouth shut and just dropped in and out like he did on the first season. Once he opened his mouth he showed his lack of intelligence, class and just place good old mannors. I know not everyone likes Alex and Simon, but they seem like good people to me. They are a little different but so what. And then there is Kelly. I will not comment on her except to say, I do not like her, at all. Not at all. And she does not fit in the show and should be taken off in my opinion.
Well, I must go. I can not say enough how much all us ladies here in Dallas love you. We can not wait to see you apartment when Brad finishes with it.

Hello Jill….first time blogging so here goes…..I think you and Bethany are what makes the show….you both are real and you are a very caring and loving person… it just shows….on how you treat people… you are very forgiving…..I loved you mother too….so now we know where you get your loving heart from……I was shocked to see how Mario carried on….He seemed abusive (drinks to much)…..Kelly doesn’t seem to fit in very well…..too pretenious and the way she went after Bethany with her hand gestering you’re down here and I’m up here….woooo…..I can’t see Kelly lasting on the show….people love Bethany, like your mother you want to see Bethany make it…whatever she does…..her book….cooking…..modeling…..you and Bethany are what makes the show……YOU GO GIRL!

You guys need to talk Bravo into allowing us to watch the full episode later in the week. I love the show and would like to watch it over or see the ones I’ve missed when I want to see them.

Hi Jill

I am hooked!!!NYC is the only reality I watch…..I must say I was shocked by Marios brhavior…Why is he on the show?????Ramona always sas he is soooo busy; but he has been appearing more often..I watch this show for The Housewives…Not to see a crazy husband

jill and bethanny need their own makeover show–jill will make over your house and wardrobe, bethenny will do your kitchen (pantry, fridge) and diet. jill will give a few pointers on interior design, etc, bethanny on eating healthy and exercise. then they can both take the person shopping for clothes, and a new haircut, etc.. they could even do it as a charity thing– choose a deserving person who maybe works in the non-profit world, or something along those lines. people would love, it and i would love to see them outside of nyc– i think they would have a blast.

I LOVE THAT YOU ARE WORKING TO RAISE MONEY FOR FOSTER CHILDREN. I MYSELF ADOPTED 3 KIDS AND I AM VERY INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH THIS CHARITY. I WOULD LOVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN CALIFORNIA WHERE I LIVE. IF THERE IS ANY INFO THAT YOU CAN SHARE I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT.

Jill,
I actually had to call your store to find out how to do this because I am the furthest person from a groupie you could ever meet. I have felt compelled to touch base with you because there is something about you that is so different from every other person on the show there is more substance…and yet on the surface you seem the same if not looking very carefully. You do not know me, so my opinion should matter little or less since that is the case, but you are an amazing mother and friend and the most honest one (shy of Bethenny) that is there. I watch no soaps, no ongoing sagas, nothing to waste time I do not have, almost everything about you makes me smile (no, not a stalker) I lost my brother who was 41 in October of 2005, my sister who was my best friend and whom I spoke to every day at least 3 times a day was diagnosed with lung cancer 6 months later, they said the got it and she went to Stony Brook Hospital with a headache in July of 2007 and was told she had inoperable brain cancer and could live anywhere from 6 months to a year, she was gone 4 weeks later. my mother who in one year just buried a son, could not deal with my sister and got in bed, never even went to the wake and stayed there at 72 years old until her laying there became pneumonia and eventually decubitis ulcers and ultimatley death. I WILL NOT go into anymore details,suffice to say you would think there was no end and a bad beginning…..land the plane Nancy, as my sister would say, and get to the point, my sister suffered prior to her last diagnosis with severe Rheumotoid arthritis. Lynda would take methatrexate to help her which ultimately made her so ill for the weeks that she had to take it that it was heartbreaking. I wish we had the means to do charities for her because I often wonder if we had could I have saved her, somehow. I was the one in the room when everyone left telling her it was absolutley NOT alright to go, while my brother was cradling her saying it was okay, he had to take me for a walk and tell me she could not go anywhere because she knew I was not ready, we had a pact our whole lives, guess what they don’t work. I have digressed enough, I don’t have the things you have or the money, but I can cook and have a great rapport with people, if you ever need someone to help you with a charity in the way backgrouind so you do not think I have an agenda, please allow me the privledge to help Ali. There is something so real about you down to your clear feelings on what you have, but that isn’t bragging ,it is what it is. By the way you are far more beautiful than Ramona ( as if it really mattered, but just for the record) and that Indian dress to die for…. I am 49 years old and have no idea what it would be like to not worry about every penny or how to pay my bills, would I wish that away from you, absolutely not, good for you. Being mad other people have things takes the joy out of what we do have. I hope you get the chance to read this and understand, you are a great mom, and daughter and sister and all that other crap, is background noise, albiet nice noise, but still background. Take care of Betenney she is a sweetheart…..by the way my name is Nancy…..

Hey there, didn’t Alex and Simon say that the nude photos did NOT revel anything below the waist. Wow, they must have seen different photos that what is out on the web. Where her boobs airbrushed in that photo? Everything she wears on the show she is flatter than a pancake. In fact, I may have a relative that is 12 that has more than her. She lies alot!!

Ohh my girl, I just love your family so much.You have raised such a sweet,inteligent daughter and it is so refreshing to see a young women that is privilaged to behave the way Ally does.I love love you and Bethenny and you guys could have your own show.You both are hillarious.Have to say that Bobby is a doll and you two balance each other so well.Just added him as a friend on FB,oh but I cant find you on twitter, hmm.It says no longer avail.Anyway had to show my support.You have soo many fans and we adore you ..

TeamJillandBethenny Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 11:27 pm

Dear Jill,

I so look forward to your show - you make me laugh because I grew up on Long Island and I have lived in NY for many years. I love that you spend so much time doing charity work, and if you spend big bucks at ZT’s salon, well - you have it to spend and a Lady’s gotta DRESS, ya know? Bobby is a delight.

In terms of Mario attacking you - it’s obviously not your problem. There’s something about him wanting more face time on camera going on and he acted like he was tanked up. I thought the same about Kelly.

Kelly’s behavior reminded me of a VERY similar situation I had when I was ‘attacked’ in the very same way, by a person I later found out was high on cocaine. I’m not saying Kelly was on coke, but…the style of ‘attack’ was virtually the same as my experience. It gave the person who did it to me (an entertainer) a lofty sense of self importance, and a complete inability to judge anything resembling reality.

I reacted the exact same way as Bethenny, because when you are looking down the gun barrel at the eyes of crazy…you want to move slowly and not startle it into a stampede.

I love the fast paced banter with Brad (I have many gay husbands myself), and the way you love Ally and let her roam as well - you are a great example of someone who loves their life and all it entails, and still appreciates the opportunity to work for charities and be a great friend.

Congratulations - I hope I’m as good a ‘connector’, friend, and mother when the time comes.

Deborah Jensen Says:

Mario is a disgrace as is Kelly and hopefully they each learned someothing when they saw the actual footage. Jill you were a model of restraint as was Bethenny. Ramona has always been the trashiest and least appropriately dressed (who could forget her on the dancefloor or her daughter begging her to dress differeently)but she had the nerve to chastise Alex van Kempen for nude photos! Jill you were wonderful as always, totally beyond reproach. I just cannot get over Mario’s behavior. My father and my late husband are rolling in their graves that a man could treat a woman that way for ANY reason, let alone a tennis match.

Danni Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 10:19 pm

Jill,

First of all let me say Mario and Ramona are very jealous. They only wish to have the things you do. You taught women a very valuable lesson, never let them see you sweat.

Allie is a precious young lady. She should be on the cover of a magazine. Her eyes are beautiful!

Michelle Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 7:37 pm

Jill and Bethenny are the only normal ones on this show! Love you guys! I want to be like the both of you..Bethenny there is nothing wrong with you! Any man would be lucky to have you. I didn’t get married until I was 36 mainly because I wouldn’t settle..you shouldn’t either and don’t worry, the person who is right for you is on his way! Have fun with your life, I only wish I had a life like yours! And Jill, I swear you are my long lost twin (personality wise)! You are cool and have a great outlook on life! Keep doing what you’re doing! KEEP IT REAL GIRLS!

Tammy Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 5:02 pm

I have to agree - it seems like everyone was drinking before they got on camera. Kelly, Mario, Simon. Lay off the booze. It makes you look crazy.

Jill - please drink something other than Diet Coke to get sugar. A little juice goes a long way if you’re feeling light-headed.

atdleft Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 4:38 pm

Jill,

I FINALLY caught your Chelsea Lately interview, and I was laughing so hard the whole time! You and Bethenny are hilarious.

I missed the show on Tuesday, but I’m hoping to catch it either online or on Bravo soon. So far, I’m a little concerned by what I’ve been reading about it. Did Mario really go batsh*t crazy on you at a party? Did Kelly really go crazy on Bethenny? What’s with the other housewives?

Well, I hope you & B stay classy. As always, your #1 gay BFF/fan from Orange County can’t wait to see what happens next on and off the show!

Pema Says:

Hi Jill,
I love watching you on Housewives, Bobby is a sweetie too. I dont have a facebook account, but please tell Bobby I he has a fan in San Diego. He is such a kind man the way he cares for you and your lovely daughter is very touching, perhaps he could give husbands lessons! (he’s very cute too). Your mom is a doll.
Housewives of New York is my favorite of the Housewives shows. It gives someone like me a view into the mind set of ladies in NY. I thought there would be a bigger cultural difference, but there really isnt. I can relate to all the women in the show save Ramona and Kelly.
Best wishes to you and your family!

Pati from South Texas Says:

Jill,

Might I say that I am addicted, once again to the show. I have two little ones and a husband, but if anyone interrupts me 9:00, Tuesdays–they’re in trouble!! I thought Mario was totally out of line at the page six party-truly not a gentleman and obviously wanted all eyes on him (desperate attempt for attention)! Something about him is not trusting-Ramona should keep her eye on him-this not difficult, being they are always WIDE open! haha!!
I think you and Bethanny are absolutely fabulosas!!!!Both of you make the show and I probably would not watch if you two were not on.
BTW, you look wonderful! All of Zang Toi’s dresses looked fantastic on you! You are really shining! Take it all in and enjoy!

Ciao!!

Jill:

I would love to know how you went from Assistant Buyer at Filene’s to trophy wife. You are a sweetie, but Bobby really indulges you and I hope you let him know how much you appreciate that.

Your daughter is beautiful inside and out. She shows a true interest in other people. I always love seeing her on the show.

Midwestern Girl Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 9:05 am

Jill, just keep being yourself. You’re fabulous!
I have fallen in love with Gloria, too. I wonder what advice SHE would give Kelly? I’m so glad that Kelly’s daughters are too young to watch RHONY. Her parents must be mortified.

On a lighter note, you should go over to jezebel.com and check out the Real Houswives vs.Judge Judy parody that they’ve posted. I think it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever read in my life! (Don’t worry. You’ll laugh, too.)

Andrea Says:
April 2nd, 2009 at 4:24 am

Jill,

After watching Orange County (and Atlanta’s) housewives, I wasn’t sure if I could stomach New York’s. However, at the insistence of my mother, I finally TiVo’d it, including last season’s.

I’ll tell you right now, I am thrilled that I did! You really are what I consider a perfect definition of classy. Between yourself and Bethenny, I honestly think you’re the saving graces of that show. Without the two of you, there would really be no redeemable qualities of anyone there.

Your charities are amazing, and I honestly wish you and your daughter the best of luck in your endeavors. Although I doubt either of you need it, since you’re hard working women! Cheers to you, continue being a great example of how a strong woman should behave while maintaining their dignity and poise. I honestly think the Countess could learn a lesson or two from you!

Your relationship with your husband also makes me smile! It’s refreshing to see that on TV, especially since it’s not so feigned.

(And good gracious, don’t bother with Kelly anymore. What a disaster that woman is!)

First of all, you are such an inspiration! A working Mom and wife. I get a kick out of your personality with the other ladies. You have a realness quality and brute honesty, and a big heart. Your work towards charitys should inspire us all. I volunteer and it’s the best feeling in the world to make a difference in someone’s life.
I’m sorry to have had to watch Mario, but it was sweet how Bobby stood fast by for you. That’s romance. It’s nice to see you two interact in a loving way.
I enjoy the view from the couch, I don’t know how, but you make it look very easy from where I sit! Thank you for making a difference, I look forward to next week!

Janet Says:

I live in the Hamptons, and honestly NO ONE KNOWS OR CARES ABOUT KELLY!!!!

Everyone I know loves Bethenny, and you of course.

Bottom of the totem pole my ass.

Would love to know where to purchase the rhinstone necklace by ZANG TOI. Luv you and Bethanny. Kellie is rude, uuuugly and so self absorbed. She makes Ramona and Alex and Luann look like saints. Kick that hos butt Bethanny.

WB Says:
April 1st, 2009 at 7:50 pm

Holy Cow, that was entertaining!

Kelly is delusional and not real bright. I don’t know how Bethanny stopped herself from laughing while Kelly was going off on her irrational ranting (i especially loved how she accused Bethanny of stalking her in her blog this week….did she not WATCH the show herself and see the timeline?) Mario is an arrogant assh*le who oogles every woman who walks by him. I don’t know how you stopped from poking his arrogant stinking eyes out. Keep him away from your daughter (I’m serious).

Your daughter is BEAUTIFUL and I certainly hope she reads how many people have said that. It’s a really tough age-I don’t care how beautiful girls are at that age, all they see are their faults.

Bobby is a teddy bear- definitely a keeper.

Lisa Says:

I had the best time watching the show last night. You guys are a hot mess and you make my day. I can’t wait for next week’s show. Keep up the good work. I am excited to see your new digs. Take pictures for your site.

Josie Says:
April 1st, 2009 at 5:36 pm

Jill, I love you and all you stand for. You’re an amazing lady and have
more class than all of the other housewives. Ramona apparently is very jealous of you, she keeps feeding Mario with tales about you. She’s a big FAKE. Your true friend is Bethenny. That woman cares so much for you and your family and I cannot believe how low and white trash Kelly is. She really showed her true colors on last nights episode. Take care and keep it real.
