I am glad for the second season. I feel we got to see more of you strength and focus this season. I admire the work you do and the partnership you have with your husband and the relationship with your daughter. I am also a big TEAM GLORIA. I have one or two Glorias in my life. They drive me nuts, but once I take a day to review what they have shared with me I thank goodness they are there. I wish Gloria not only a long life, but a healthy and happy one. Thank you Jill.

Loved watching the reunion shows. I think you and Bethenny are especially fun and interesting to watch. Alex has grown on me this season. I like her. But what I don’t understand about her is that she totally gave Kelly an out in regard to her attack on Bethenny by merely calling it “Kelly being inarticulate.” That’s bs. Kelly claims she graduated from Columbia. She’s a smart girl and I believe she knew exactly what she was saying and how she was saying it. Kelly just didn’t like being called out for it.
Love how you handle yourself and especially how you are not too proud to apologize and admit being wrong. I love that.
May 16th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
The only Housewives show that I watch, is the New York show. I think that Jill, Bethany,Luann, and Alex are all great. I personally think that Kelly is an airhead, and Ramona does have “crazy eyes” like one of you mentioned. I hope that you come back next season, and if you do, I will definitely watch the show !
May 16th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
OK, I watched part 2 and it was very hard to follow. I loved your holding some of the others accountable. But my real favorite part was when you teared up seeing your Mom. And I have now come to the conclusion that she sounds EXACTLY like Judge Judy! And with the same wisdom. Enjoy your hiatus and I hope to see you back on the next season of RHONY.
May 16th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Jill,
Just have to let you know that I really did enjoy you & your cast this season. You are truly like the mama bear. Only one thing to say about the $16,000 handbag, buy what you want, anytime you want just don’t show it to a nation of people losing their homes and jobs.
May 16th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I’m disappointed that you didn’t post my email. i hope you read it.
May 16th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Jill, I have enjoyed every minute of Housewives and especially watching you - it’s absolutely wonderful to see that you and Bethenny are close friends. Now I did enjoy watching both reunion shows, I certainly was adding my opinions to what was being discussed. I hope the show returns next season and you keep us up to date.
May 16th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Jill
YOU ROCK!!!!!
You are the most real and sincere one on the show.
Sure you have your moments of drama, but hell who doesn’t.
I have been on team Jill from the beginning and, I believe, as of last night that my girlfriend/partner (Shannae) has converted. (She was on the fence)
Thanks for the entertainment.

May 16th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
ear Jill, I think you are beautiful inside and out. And so is you Mom and You daughter and you husband. I feel for your girl and her pain. I have fibromyalga, it is very painful. There are different kinds of meds that are not pain killers that can help your sweet baby with her pain. Like antidepressants, lyrica,antinflamitorys,muscle relaxers,amytriptilyne and I know you already know about prednzone.Forgive me, you probaly know all about these things, you probably have better doctors than I do. It just hard for me because my arthritis is complicated with Lupus. Some days, I just don’t want to get out of bed. But I love you guys, keep up the good work. And love to Bethany Alex and all the rest accept Kelly, she is possitively insane.
May 16th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Hey Jill, I’m 15 and absolutely love the show. The reunions made me cringe with all the yelling but it was entertaining. I promised myself i WILL be as successful as you when i am older.
<3 you

I watched the Reunion Tues/Wed I wish I wish you ladies would let one of you talk at a time. I was waiting for the Kelly/Bethany scene “Your down here I’m up here” and all of you had to pipe in with what happened on your take of the situation. When it was the perfect time to put Kelly in her place and Ramona and Alex piped in on the version of Kelly’s lingo,
So that was disappointing.
May 16th, 2009 at 10:56 am
Jill,
You work hard, you play hard and you give more than most. Thank you for sharing your life with us these past two years and for raising awareness to some very important causes. You and Bethhenny keep it real, admit when you are wrong and call others out when they aren’t being truthful. I would want you to have my back any day!
While I was watching Part 2 of the reunion, they previewed a very emotional moment for you and my 12 year old sat down and said- “OK, who is making Jill cry?” He was worried about what happened to bring out the tears.
Warm wishes to you and your family, Beth.
May 16th, 2009 at 10:43 am
Hey Jill, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your show.You and Bethany are my two favorites.I wish if and when you come to New Orleans maybe for a Mard Gras I can show you all around the great city.Much love always xooxo
May 16th, 2009 at 6:49 am
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 all 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!!
May 16th, 2009 at 5:47 am
Jill,
Your the best, refreshing, smart, good looking, and contribute alot to the community. whats next?
I think it is time to move on to a bigger and better project. You have out grown the show.
I think you are the next Opera
Best wishes, Paul
May 15th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Jill what happen to you this season. Did you notice that you and Bethany were actiong like mean girls and bullies
May 16th, 2009 at 10:00 am
sometimes…it happens….we are not perfect. Nothing changes since High school
May 15th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
The reunion show was quite entertaining. I am glad for the honesty between some of you guys. Loved you watching you all season. It is nice to see New York and the people there. I have always been curious being a California girl all my life.
Jill,
You are one of my favorites!
Don’t feel guilty about money. Some people just have issues with people who have it. It is their personal problem, a sort of poverty consciousness they possess. Love your mom! What a cool woman! You are alot like her in many ways at least watching you that is my observation.
May 15th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Jill…i love the show, love the relationship you and Bethanny have. just one problem..my boyfriend is now hooked on it because he thinks you are gorgeous! he doesn’t care about any of the other women, just you. we can’t understand why you are so shy about your looks, complimenting Ramona and asking how she stays fit..have you looked at yourself? you’re beautiful! inside and out..Gloria did a great job. my guy Eric says tell Bobby he’s a lucky man.
Cheers
May 15th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Jill,
it’s a fact of life people. It is a basic in economics class.
Love you and adore you and I can’t believe how fantabulous (made up word)! you are looking!
You and Bethenny are by FAR my faves! I am sick of seeing the comments about Bobby buying that handbag! I am sorry for people who are losing their jobs you don’t wish that on your worst enemy but do people realize like you said if everyone stops spending watch how the market really starts crashing again!!! You can’t help what the show edits. Please girl keep the economy going strong
I really try not to be a hater but what is up with Kelly??? Seriously that girl is in Kelly La la land. I don’t know about the show bringing her back like you all have said she is delusional. or is it “kelusional!!!
Anyway love how you love your family and all you do!
Anna
May 15th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I said it once — whilst watching the reunion (pt.2) with a couple of my own girlfriends — and i’ll say it again: Kelly is 100lbs of crazy in a 10lb bag… or perhaps she’s just a bag. But just the same, after watching, I’m now more than willing the entertain the notion that English is possibly her second language; and, while I’ve not read any of Kelly’s “journalism” (just her bravo blog), it hurts my heart to think that she gets paid to write (I’m a grad student in English — flame! flame!). Inarticulacy of that fashion belongs nowhere near the publically-accessible written word. You go, Jill. You, Bethenny and Luann are my heroes.
May 15th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I LOVE the show!! I had to record Tuesday’s show and watched it last night, WITH my boyfriend. Okay, he didn’t really watch it, but he did take notes on how to get my blood boiling - hee! hee! Jill, you and Betheny handled yourselves very well (I haven’t watched last night’s show, one hour at a time dahling!!). Kelly doesn’t seem to ‘fit’ the equation of the show, but then again, maybe that’s the point?! Anyway, I can’t wait ’til the next season starts!! I’m sure you and your family will be in the Hamptons this summer, enjoy!! I’m from the mid-west (St. Louis to be exact), so my version of the Hamptons will be on a river - ha! Jill, your daughter seems to be a very amazing kid, you done good sister!! (yes, that was intentional bad verbiage)! Oh, and one more thing, keep feeding the economy, we need it - ha! Take care of yourself and your family Jill!!
May 15th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Jill,
How can the show possibly allow that phony Kelly to return next season?
She is as low class and trashy as they come!
Damien
May 15th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Hello Jill: I just want you to know I applaud you for being such a wonderful mother, great wife, and adoring mother. I love you and what you stand for
May 15th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Ok I have become a fan. You girls are great……. I don’t watch much tv….But….I watch u guys……..I propose an art class…everyone should paint or sculpt do art because everyone has something to sayand a way to say it….. Words can’t penetrate real meaning as the visual often does. The truth cannot be denied in art its all out there….
I think the 6 of u would make great students and personaly I think as a group it would better all of you….plus you would set a great example…If everyone did art there would be no war no arguments…it would bring all into perspective plus its great fun…You get a chance to say something in another way about yourselfves and the world.
I have taught all around Africa Italy US and France even in the Hamptons!!!11…its the same everywhere I’ve been……..painting inspires people.. A real truth comes out…haha u girls could use some of that…between each other…..fight it out on the canvas.

May 15th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Jill, you are the epitome of class. You always tell the truth, tell it like it is, and are honest with everyone. You love your family endlessly and it shows. Hats of to you! Some of the other Housewives should take notes! You are a wonderful woman with many gifts and talents which you share those with everyone. Enjoyed the reunion. (1 & 2) Can’t wait to see what happens next season!
May 15th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
At what point did you women lose sight of the fact that you were on national television?
The behavior of all of you with the exception of Alex and Kelly was deplorable.
I kept thinking what your mother and daughter must think of your behavior not to mention the vulgar language.
I certainly would never invite you to any gathering of mine for fear that you may break out in a mud wrestling fest.
May 15th, 2009 at 10:21 am
Jill the second reunion was difficult to watch in my opinion. Everyone behaved as though they were sitting in Cipriani alone, not with an entire Bravo audience of viewers. Embarrassing.
How does one get to the point where they lose any sense of propriety in front of millions even on a show designed for recriminations? Many love this brand of catty battle and maybe it’s my age but I thought it was not good.Sorry.
May 15th, 2009 at 10:05 am
HI Jill! It seems like lately you need to “put your hater blockers on”.Who the heck has the right to count your money? I think that I adore you as the beautiful, strong, independent woman you are.Honey, it takes BALLS to put yourself out there for the world to see! You have done it with class and dignity.I am from MIami and understand your lifestyle. I also want you to know that I cried with you when they showed the scene with your mom on the reunion. I see where you get all your greatness. You truly are a kind and giving person who is not afraid to stick up for what’s right. God BLess YOu Jill, may your path be illuminated with peace and love for you and your family. You are a great inspiration to all women. AND I REALLY WISH THAT I COULD MEET YOU IN PERSON AND GET SOME OF YOUR GREAT ADVICE!! My mom died when I was 8 years old (I am 34 now) and if you would adopt me OMG! I would have the mom of my dreams….
Wishing You The BEST ALWAYS, - Cynthia Espenschied

When unremittingly besieged Kelly was asked which of you she’d choose for a friend, my husband said, “That’s like asking a concentration victim to choose a Nazi enforcer!” And when she chose you, we both groaned. You’re Bethany’s attack dog when it comes to Kelly defending herself. Kelly should have chosen Alex as the friend, someone who conducted herself with poise and dignity. We saw you holding hateful tongued Bethany’s hand, and it’s understandable. She’s like your ugly little dog, biting and barking at everyone that walks into the room. We call Bethany “Jaws” because of the practical and unattractive shape of her jaws facilitating her desire to bring everybody down and find a biting remark to label onto somebody. She deserves a label. She goes right to work barking and biting just like your dog. How hateful! As for the show, my husband said, “They should call this program The Hideous Housewives of Manhattan.” It’s a nasty habit to watch your show. Afterward, we sigh and say it’s bad for the blood pressure, and such ugly loud mannered neurotic aggressive women. Finally, after that livid reunion assault, we’ve decided to forgo the option, should the temptation appear for another season. Oddly, it’s not as personal as it sounds, I just wanted to get this off my chest to clear out any remaining vitriol absorption.
May 15th, 2009 at 4:02 am
jill, your authenticity makes you the best out of all the housewives. thats what eveybody loves about you, youre just keeping it real and calling it as it is! im really sad that the season is over. my marriage caused me to relocate far away from my hometown and my girlfriends and following your show makes me feel like im with my girlfriends again. I wish you all the best!
May 14th, 2009 at 11:11 pm
You guys are giving it good to Kelly right now. I’m glad you’re calling her out on her thinking she is above everyone. Can’t wait for you guys to call Ramona out on all the mean things she has said about everyone.
May 14th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
JILL ZARIN, YOU ARE A VERY SPOILED WOMAN AND YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE THE GREAT LIFE BOBBY, (YOUR 2ND HUSBAND )HAS GIVEN YOU !!! YOU MAY HAVE $$$$ AND DIAMONDS ETC. BUT YOUR STILL A NASTY BACK STABBING AND JEALOUS PERSON !!! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO TELL KELLY NOT TO COME BACK NEXT SEASON !!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE??? WHY DON’T YOU LEAVE SO WE DO NOT HAVE TO HEAR YOUR WHINY NAGGING VOICE AND COMMANDS TO YOUR HUSBANDS BOBBY AND YOUR SERVANT GAY HUSBAND THAT DID NOT EVEN GET CREDIT FOR THE REDO ON YOUR NYC CONDO!!!!!!
May 14th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Me and my husband love you on real housewives!! We notice how fabulous your hair looked this season and wondering where you have it styled. We live in Rye and can’t find anybody decent! Please help!
Your 1# Fans

Love you and your family…..classiest! Can’t get enough of the reunion…wish Bravo would do a Part III!
May 14th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Jill,
My partner and I love you and even thought we don’t know you we can see the person you are. We feel you speak from the hart and want everyone around you to know that you care for them and what they do. Being a hairstylist in Miami I have a lot of Jewish clients ,however not being Jewish but having many friends whom are I’am learning all about Jewdisum. I also want to tell you how much I love your Mother… she is so much like my Grandmother, I know how it feels to always want them close to you because my parents live in NY State . Jill you are the best and you have a hart of gold.. stay that way and if your ever in the Miami area look us up , my partner and I will show you around.. lots of love!!!
May 14th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
STARCAM IS NOT RELIABLE!!!!!!
HOPE YOU DIDN’T PAY FOR IT!!!!
LOVE YOU!!!!!
May 14th, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Dear Jill,
I just want to let you know how much I admire the way you carry yourself in every situation. At the reunion you have been complimenting everyone and just building up every single person instead of tearing them down. Even in the show you were able to face a horrible accusation about causing the recession and you handled it with absolute class. I want to some day be exactly like you, not the money and the fame which of course anyone would be lucky to have, but more importantly to have the amazing personality that you have! You are an amazing person and I hope your fortune and well being continues for a long and healthy lifetime!
-Kara
May 14th, 2009 at 8:13 pm
JILL!!!!!! my mother and i are obviously obsessed with you, as you and aly and your relationship with your own mother is exactly like ours. YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! i recently had a breast reduction also and it was the best thing i have ever done. i was just wondering, did you use dr. sultan? that is who i used and i was thrilled. i would love to hear back from you!
May 14th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
JILL,
I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY BUT I WANT TO BE SURE YOU HEAR THE MOST IMPORTANT SENTENCE….
YOU, YOU WERE THE LADY WITH ALL THE CLASS AMONGST ALL OTHERS ON THE HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK. DO NOT CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT WHO YOU ARE.
BTW I ALSO HAVE A DRAPERY BUSINESS AND WORK HARD AT IT…..I APPRECIATE YOUR CRAZY SCHEDULE!
ALL THE BEST

May 14th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
i cannot wait for tonite 5/14/09 to see the re-union. i hope the show gets rid of kelly–she acts nuts and also romaona because she is NUTS. i love the other 4…alex is no dummy….her and simon make it crazy but kelly, ramona and mario is just unwatchable. i think mario has something wrong with him..are they on drugs? get rid of them and focus more on the others. by the way ramona has no sense of humor and those EYES…..please ..i beg you…dump those nuts….donna
May 14th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
BRAVO to all of you! Loved this season, it took my mind off of some serious issues and gave me something to look forward to. I vote for the original 5! Many thanks, Carolyn
May 14th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I would like you to know that my family loves your show. a few years ago I was diagnosed with leukemia and in Nov 2007 received a stem cell transplant. Prior to that I worked two and three jobs and raised our two children and kept the house. I spent as much time with my family as possible but always wanted more. Now that I am home all the time we find small thimngs to do together, laugh and enjoy one another and one is watching your show. My daughters 19 and 15 and I talk and my poor husband thinks that we are talking about real people for the first few minutes then he realizes it is the show. Thank you for being a part of our recovery. Good luck with all you do and stay safe and healthy to all of your family. We will be watching tonight! Also another past time we have is designing and making jewelry expect a small token of our appreciation of keeping it real and opening the doors to your life.
May 14th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
oh my god! the second half is TONIGHT??!! im excited… haha that just made my day. I love watching Romona flip out with her humungo bug eyes
love you jill!!!!
haha ~Courtneyyyy
May 14th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Jill, I should also mention that I already follow you on twitter, and it’s fun to read about what you’re doing and who you are meeting with. I love your daughter as well. I can’t wait for the next season of RHNYC, and please mention on your blog if you’re going to be in the Chicago area, as many friends, loyal fans, would love to meet you. Take care, Sweetie!
May 14th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
I’ve been waiting for LuAnn to do an interview on one of the better evening shows. I can’t believe noone has asked her to do a spot on late-night TV, I guess these producers don’t realinze how many viewers love the RHNYC! I’m looking forward to seeing you with Heather (who is another person I love to follow on Twitter, and LuAnn, I’m hoping you’ll join twitter soon) Take care sisters!!
May 14th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Jill,
Real Housewives of N.Y became an instant favorite for me because of yourself and Luann. I wanted to thank you both for bringing charitable and philanthropic work to Bravo viewers. It was especially refreshing to see that you made all the events about the organizations you were helping and not about your selves. Unfortunately the Atlanta Housewives did not grasp this simple concept.
Getting companies and people to part with their money and volunteer is always difficult, but in the past 2 economically hard years charitable giving has also taken a downturn. I had hoped to get some great tips and ideas for charitable fund raising. Perhaps a book with proceeds going to multiple charities?
Thank you again for raising awareness and philanthropy with style and grace.

Ramona seemed all upset about your step and repeat for Zarin Fabrics and then she tore into Bethanny’s signs, did she let you have yours?
May 14th, 2009 at 7:27 am
I’ve been waiting for blogs from you, crazy Ramona and LuAnn. What gives? I wouldn’t even mind hearing from Mario, there is no way he can defend his wife after the way she acted, is there?
May 14th, 2009 at 6:03 am
Jill, You are the bomb!!! Please know you have 2 fans in Kentucky and we cannot wait to see the 2nd part of the reunion show! We have watched the 1st part several times because we don’t want to miss anything that any one of you is saying! This has been a hoot of a season, and the finale has been the icing on the proverbial cake! Thank you! We love you and the show and there is no one better to watch the 2nd half with than Heather Longboobs ! We love her, and Chelsea to pieces, and Luann, honey, just hang in there!I left a 17 year relationship in 2001, and amazingly THE love of my life walked in to my life the following year and we have been together ever since. I believe we all have angels that watch over us, and you never know what is around the next corner.Just get rid of anyone who gives off negative energy. It will suck the life out of you. We will be watching and laughing along with you all! Thanks for being so damn entertaining, all of you! And we love all your accents!!!p.s. Your boobs look great! Sorry this was so long but I just found your website and had to send our best to you!
May 14th, 2009 at 1:52 am
I will always LOVE you and Beth-Could you please try to get Kelly and Ramona to take the same meds that alex is on….I’d like them better if they were Zombie people…Otherwise they make No sense. At least they could sit in the corner and mumble to themselves like Alex….
P.S.-Please, Please tell Mario and Simon to shut up and just be glad they can try on thier wive’s clothes at nite when the cameras are off.
Just one other thing, tell Kelly the Bipolar meds are’nt working and-like I said - have her consult with alex’s doctor and try her meds-As far as her trial-the insanity plea can work-just give her atorney this seasons shows videos and shes clear and free(scary-forget that last point)….Always looking to hear more about you and Bethany and glad you both are doing GREAT-You are like the sister I never had and I can be as clear and sharp as bethany(all my friends say I have her mouth sadly not her body…but I am working on it(the male version of course)…
Again love you both!!!
Best-Mike
