Last chat we raised $549.00 for creakjoints.org and the money is already being put to good use. This week..the money is going to www.helpfororphans.org , the charity in episode 1 and 2.

    Hey Jill-

    LOVE how honest and straight forward you are about everything. I truly respect that about you. I live my life the same way and it tends to blow up in my face at times. I like to say that I’d rather be hated by some for being real than loved by all for being fake. I’m watching the reunion episode right now and am LOVING the green shoes you are wearing. Not that I’ll ever be able to afford the stunning shoes you are always wearing but who makes them?

    Best of luck with everything in your life,
    Lauren

    Hi Jill!!!!

    You are the FABULOUS!!! Quick question- who designed your 8 inch heels from the lost footage episode last night? They are SO sick! I’m thinking Christian Louboutin but I didn’t notice the red inside heel.

    All the best to Ally, Bobby, Gloria and of course you!

    Jill. 1st and foremost, I LOVE U. you are hilirious!!. But i have an issue with the episode where you ladies were planning the charity event for creakjoints. kelly was so shallow. right in front of your daughter she rambles on about how she doesnt attach her name to charities and then goes on to say that your daughter having arthritis is cute. That episode aired on tuesday, my mother passed away the day before, march 23, 2009. she died from complications of Rheumatiod arthritis. Not to scare allison, my mother lived with ra for over 20 years and her disease was progressive. I could have gone through the tv screen that night!!! i cared for my mom till she took her last breath, in my arms at home. Kelly needs to play back those episodes and listen to herself. I was done with her when bethany was but that just blew me away. Caring for my mom was not cute, my mom was cute but the disease is not!!!. I hope your family is well and keep fighting for creakjoimts. The arthritis walk in philadelphia was held on my moms bday may sixteenth. we couldnt go, it was to soon and to sentimental of a day her bday. WOW. well ill be there next year for sure. keep up the good work. stacy in philly

    I just wanted to tell you that whenever I come home from college and I’m sitting, watching T.V. with my mom we always check to see if the show is on and to see you! We love watching you and Bethenny, because quite frankly, you two are the only two that we can stand watching… You are the realest, most genuine person on the show, and thats hard to say when you have so many cameras around trying to distort who you really are. Keep up the good work, and stay true:)

  9. Jennifer Says:

    Jill Z. I think you should write a book, your funny, giving, and a str8 shooter!!! Your the kind of woman that draws people toward you! The thing is you don’t act snotty, nose up in the air. And you are constantly helping to raise money for charitys. You are lucky to have your life,but you give back constantly being in the position your in. A lot of others don’t…You should be commended. LOv ya Jill!

  10. Ceil Says:

    Jill,
    Love the show. I like so many others think you and Bettany are the best!!! You can tell your a protective, caring person. I like how you keep things in perspective, but you speak your mind!! I also think you act like yourself and that alone is CLASS…(TEll Ramona) lol!!! I do not care for her or her pompus ass husband.. But I guess every show has to have a couple people on it that people hate just to keep us glued to what will come out of their ignorant mouthes next! You are beautiful and Ilov you onthe show!!

  11. Michelle Says:

    Jill
    You dress the best of all the housewives - not too short, not too revealing. Keep it up! (Tell the others they’re a little too old for some of those dress lengths and yes, Countess, you especially!)

  12. Abbey Says:

    Jill Zarin you are by far my favorite woman in television. You are an inspiration to woman but more importantly you single-handedly allow the world to see the beauty in living in New York City and not the snobby self-centered aspect to having money and living in such a high paced city. You show such poise and generosity in your life and you should be very proud of who you are and how you portray yourself. Keep gettin it girl!!

  13. Janet Kies Says:

    I just wanted to let you know that I watched your 2nd season and fell in love with you all. I admire what you stand for and strive to be like you. Especially Jill. I work with a friend at work and feel we are like you and bethany. I am like bethany and she is a huge heart and is like Jill. I can be caustic and she is always emphathtic. Only we are a poorer version. We both have ideas and aspirations to be weathly but act a lot like you and Bethany. I love the whole cast.

  14. Spots Mom Says:

    Jill, I think you and Bethenny were the best and I enjoyed everything you did. I do have a question for you though, I noticed when Ally got up to speak she introduced herself as Ally Shapiro, so can I assume you were married once before? I think you have a great family.

  15. Kevin Says:

    Jill Zarin! All of my friends and my stepmom watch the real housewives of nyc religiously! You are by far my favorite, and almost all of ours! I love Ally and I am so glad that you had an amazing fundraiser for arthritis. I am a Real Fan! You are too funny and your mother is to die for! I am so excited for next season, I want it back ALREADY! And it has only been a couple of days since the reunion. I hope everything is great! -Kevin O.

  16. Emma Says:

    Jill I was wondering if “The real house wives of NYC” is staged? P.S you are my fav house wife

  17. Becky Says:

    Six beautiful, intelligent, independent women were given their own television platform with the opportunity to show the world what they are capable of accomplishing as a group. You all had the power to show women in a light that seldom is afforded us, and that is as strong, smart, compassionate, business savvy people.

    Instead, you lowered the bar and gave life to the tired old clichés that have been attached to our so called “apron strings” for generations. You’ve given Bravo the train wreck they desired with the end result being money in their pockets with a few shillings thrown your way. The organ grinder and his faithful monkey come to mind. Way to go, ladies!!

  18. Marion Says:

    Based only on what I have seen about you on this past season of RHONYC, I just want to comment on how you appear to be a very strong woman, both in business and personal life. I just really like how you handled yourself during whatever confrontations were aired. You defended yourself when necessary but in a calm manner and not over the top. You have a certain je ne sais quoi about you that benefits the group. I appreciate what you do for charity. Very classy without the snobbiness. I’m not really one to bash, but I have to say it … you make Kelly look really bad. Really fake. And you know what? She wants to be looked at differently compared to the other housewives, but I actully felt embarrased for her during the reunion. She really did sound pretty shallow and wanting to be different. Every single one of the other housewives had it over her 100%. She wasn’t interesting, just bratty actually. Feel sorry for her. Her consenting to do the show was a wrong move. Anyway. Stay real.
