Since my last blog, I have been relaxing in the hamptons with my family. For my niece Jessica’s 13th Birthday, I invited her with 13 girlfriends to have a slumber party! They came for 24 hours and it wasn’t long enough. We went swimming, had a beach bonfire, bagels for breakfast and last few hours on the beach. I posted a few photos on twitter. Spending time with them just reinforced my belief that life is ALL about relationships and the more you put into them the more you will get out.
We watched the lost scenes episode and for the most part, it made me laugh. I loved the line I said to Bobby at Chopard. “If I start feeling jewelry, you might be feeling something later!”. How funny was that! Bobby did buy me the watch ( not the necklace) and I wear it everyday. The scene with Ally and the tutor from Princeton Review was so funny. I have to confess. We wanted this scene to make the final edit because that was our reality at the time..study..study and more studying. That is why Ally was missing most of the season. and watching Ally studying is not what you would call interesting TV..so I came up with something silly to distract her and be funny for TV. I usually left Allyson alone in the dining room with her tutor so I wouldn’t distract her. We also filmed with her college prep counselor at IVY WISE in NYC. I highly recommend them, but you must start early for it to be useful. Sadly it was cut.
Ramona’s Birthday lunch was quite emotional. Ramona shared with all of us the pain she had been carrying for a long time. Though it looked like we had a little “fight” we actually had a wonderful heart to heart that you didn’t see. That was one of the reasons I felt going to the Island was the right thing to do. I am not going to rehash all of it again..but just know my heart was in the right place.
I just came home from a friend’s wedding and was with Luann and Ramona. We had a great time together. Nothing is better than sharing our friends most important occasions together. Tomorrow night we will be together again for another friend’s daughter’s college graduation. Saturday I will be filming for LXNewYork a few hamptons events. This will be my first time doing a remote so I am a little nervous. I will post photos from the parties next week.
Ally comes home next week..I miss her so much!

Jill
I just wanted to say that i see that you have really made an effort to change. i also saw how hurt you were and how badly you felt about the way you acted during some of the season. Guess what, we are human and not perfect.I cant imagine how hard it would be to watch myself on tv. I would get so annoyed with myself. I am sure any of us would not know exactly how to act 24 / 7 with cameras on. So I hope you will laugh at it and cut yourself a break. I think you are great…but you have to get anyway from Kelley she is a nut and pulling you down. As far as Bethany goes ..some times our relationships with are best friends can be so complicated…its not unlike a marrage and it can have its ups and downs …but you two will be okay and even thow it may not feel like it right away ..you will forgive and forget and things will be even better then before. Enjoy your summer and i hope to see you next season.

Hi Jill,
Here is a wonderful blog I found. It talks a lot about your charity efforts etc. I thought your readers would enjoy it.
Happy 4th!!

I loved your compassion on Showbiz Tonight when asked about Sandra Bullock. Your answer was correct!!!!
June 30th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Dear Jill,
I thought it would interest you to know that your difficulty and reunion with Betheny had some unintended consequense. I watched your tears on that show and epiphany! I realzed that the falling out I’d had a year ago with a dear friend had been the same as you’d experienced. It as a matter of perspective. What you see at one time looks entirely different thru the other’s eye, and even appears different in your own vision when some time has passed. I was able to make up with my friend, I was able to say and mean “I’m sorry” to her. I have a friend again- and I thank you for that. Sincerely, Kelly Mitchell
June 30th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
I just read on PH blog that you may be leaving the show. STAY. ALL of you add your style to the show. I want to see all of you back.
June 30th, 2010 at 7:46 am
Good Morning, I can’t help but wonder do you look at your part in all of your drama? I work with people every day that really want to figure it out. Do you? I am a life coach and my specialty is just that. I love people and I am always fascinated when I see people struggling with there life experience. I believe when things show up in your life that are not a warm fuzzy you need to look at them as lessons to be learned. Look at what your soul is trying to show you. Everyone is a life in progress we can choose to sleepwalk or wake up. Just know what ever you do is perfect in the moment and your journey is your journey.
My question to you is… What are you going to do about it???

Alot…I am spending the summer reflecting on the past year…my family, health everything. Thank you!
June 30th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Right on, Jill! Anyone who watched the reunion show could see that you had already engaged in some serious self reflection. You are doing what any emotionally healthy person would do. And because of this, you will be the person you truly want to be. Every one of us should follow your lead…..
June 30th, 2010 at 11:45 am
Jill, hope you have a relaxing summer and please don’t let the people that keep condeming you for this last season get you down. Love ya xox
June 30th, 2010 at 11:42 am
i had to say something her, Jill had a traumatic experience when her husband had cancer so this season was ruff for her. When she got that voicemail from Beth she was going thru that at the time and she heard “you need to get a hobby” but she was so hurt she didn’t pay attention to the rest, it was all just a misunderstanding and people need to lay off of Jill. She’s not an evil person nor does she deserve all these people grilling her for this last season. She had stated during the reunion she didn’t like what she saw in herself, I have faith in her that she will be the Jill we all knew when the show first started but still a little different because we all change with life’s experiences that is normal. Being a heart surger survivor and having a traumatic experience in the hospital I can tell you that Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is no joke. And when Bobby had cancer and went thru surgery and other treatments it affected her, and in time she will start to feel normal. In all honesty PTSS changes you, I can’t put up with any B.S. in my life anymore cus of it so friends and family says I’ve changed, this happens. I think Jill is a good person who had some trauma and needs time to heal, so lets all be humane to our friends and try to be more understanding. Thank you, sorry I rambled but I had to say it. Love ya Jill keep being you hun xox

Hi jill
We have been watching the Housewives of New York and just watched the last episode. CANT believe how horrible they were to you, we have loved you from the first episode and think you were a total lady throughout and spoke your mind when you had to. PLEASE do the next series your the best most genuine girl in it and we hope Alley did well and got into college.
Love ya Jill, Crillys
June 30th, 2010 at 2:02 am
Jill – I found this comment on a BRAVO TV blog and didn’t know if you had already read it. It was the most insightful and genuine bit of advice I had ever read – re: you and Bethenny. I hope you read and are enjoying a fabulous summer.
“The most real relationship among the women on the show was, without question, you and Bethenny. It is what everyone wants in life: a true best friendship. What happened between you was unfortunate; it was, however, forgiveable…except for one thing – timing.
I have a family history much like Bethenny’s. A result of that was an inability to genuinely trust others. Think of it: if you are born to parents who can not be trusted, how does one trust anyone else? When the people who should love you MOST of all, let you down, it is extremely difficult to learn to trust. I married a wonderful man 30 years ago. I couldn’t tell him about my past until we had been married for 10 years. It was a terrfying risk that I couldn’t take! I was so afraid he wouldn’t love me anymore or that he would see me as my parents did. He seemed to love me more. But what if he hadn’t? At that time, my emotions surrounding trust were the same as a small child. I was mature in other ways, but not in trust. That area was so severely abused that had my husband ever betrayed me, I probably would have committed suicide. Yes, that’s the power of betrayal to many of “us” (people abused by parents). Jill, you really did hit the message home to Bethenny that you were “done”. She wouldn’t accept that and tried really hard to move past the problems you two had experienced. To Bethenny, it didn’t seem worthy of ending your relationship, and I agree that it wasn’t. Truth is, you were hurt more than Bethenny realized. She resisted ending your friendship so much; just imagine how important it was to her, based on what I have written here. Bethenny trusted you to not hurt her the way that you did. The final “we’re done” broke her heart. Sadly, it happened at the very time she was dealing with her father’s rejection – a final rejection that solidified a lifetime of rejection. The events were so close in time! Think of your own mom doing such a thing to you, if you can. And on her death bed! Bethenny needed to come to terms with both yours and her father’s rejection somehow. She needed to be an adult and embrace the fact that both relationships were over to be able to move on. It’s a LOT of heartbreaking work, and Bethenny succeeded.
I believe you worked hard, too, to get to the place that you are now. With Bobby’s support, you had a self-realization of grudges, genuine and unconditional love, the importance and value of friendship, and more. For Bethenny, you WERE family. People “like us” need to create family for ourselves. Otherwise, we would have no one. It was a “Bigger Deal” from Bethenny’s standpoint.
Remember, you could not forgive Bethenny immediately, when she apologized. It takes time to get through the hurt. There are couples who experience one of them cheating. They can successfully move past the episode, but betrayal takes much more to heal than the apology and acceptance of an apology. The person who cheated must be prepared to hear from their partner exactly what they are apologizing for… meaning, you can’t know the degree of hurt Bethenny felt before she tells you. You need to be prepared for her anger and deal with it. I don’t think Bethenny feels that you can/will deal with it, and she would be left disappointed again. Her main goal at this point is to protect herself from more hurt. What you are actually asking of her is for her to trust you again. Imagine how difficult that is for her to do now. There’s hope! Nothing softens a heart better than a welcomed baby, a wedding, and having a family of one’s own. With all that going for her, she make take the risk. Personally, Jill, I hope so. We all have faults, being human and all, but loving friendships are so DYNAMITE to be irresistable. You and Bethenny enjoyed an amazing, loving friendship that I hope you guys make it through. At the moment, Bethenny may believe that it isn’t possible. I believe Corithians II – “Love never fails”. For me, that means that love never dies and also, love never fails to make everything okay. For now, rest easy that all is well for each of you separately. Neither of you continue to hurt the other. The good news is ‘time heals all wounds’; the bad news is that ‘it takes time’. Best wishes to you (both!)”
June 30th, 2010 at 9:38 am
In the New Testament, forgiveness is to be immediate if asked for. Check out The Lord’s Prayer.
Be that as it may, Jill and Bethenny are Jewish, so Old Testament verses would be appropriate.
In any event, as the daughter of parents described in paragraph 3 above, I could not trust my parents, however I wouldn’t hold a grudge or encourage others to be bitter against them or anyone else. Can’t say that is going on in this situation between Bethenny and Jill.
As far as I know, Bethenny has never once publicly condemned the death threats Jill has received nor has she asked BravoTV to stop the selective posting of viewer responses on the RHNY blogs. Neither has she made a statement to the tabloids to stop the Jill bashing.
To wit: during the Reunion show never once did she ask the others sharing her couch to “chill” regarding their accusations against Jill. Recall Ramona standing up, pointing her finger in Jill’s face and screaming at her. A truly horrific scene and completely unnecessary since Jill had already apologized multiple times.
Jill has said and done everything she’s needed to do to obtain Judeo-Christian forgiveness. The prolonged quote you provided above neglects to include a humble response from Bethenny, which in my experience, will not be coming any time soon. She’s too busy making money.
July 1st, 2010 at 2:42 am
With all due respect, I meant for that blog statement to be totally neutral and thought it would help Jill with her self-reflection. Bethenny is an emotionally scarred person who, because of her love for Jill, it makes it that much harder for her to forgive. Jill doesn’t need to ask for forgiveness anymore, I agree. Bethenny is hurt right now and simply can’t trust Jill. It has nothing to do with holding grudges, and it has nothing to do with defending Jill at this moment in the press. She can’t face the problems with Jill because it hurt her too much. Simple as that. I thought that blog post summarized that sentiment best. That is why I posted it to Jill’s blog.
I do agree that Bethenny probably could have stood up more for Jill at the reunion show – but I also remember one scene where she stated specifically, “how much more of this against Jill – what are we going to do crucify her now?” Jill started crying and almost left. Bethenny was taking up for her at that moment. That said enough! Bethenny still loves Jill.
I think at this point, neither Jill nor Bethenny are speaking about each other in the press at all. So any kind of remark from Bethenny about Jill is not going to happen, even if it means standing up for her. Also, your comment about a “…humble response from Bethenny, which in my experience, will not be coming any time soon” seems to imply that you know Bethenny personally? If so, maybe you know something about her that RHONY fans do not see.
I have never met Bethenny nor have I ever met Jill. But, I do know one thing. Their friendship seemed real and the fans, including myself, really miss that part of the show. The blog statement that I quoted seemed honest, genuine, and sincere and was not meant to accuse Jill of anything. I hope if she did read it she didn’t take it that way. Jill is great and I hope both she and Bethenny return for another season!
July 1st, 2010 at 8:10 am
Hi Allison:
Actually when it comes to death threats that crosses the line and Bethenny should certainly publicly deplore any threats of physical harm to another cast member. After all these threats are being made on her behalf by her “fans.”
I’m not going to address any of your other thoughts simply because you and I do not know the dynamic that’s been going on between the two personalities.
June 29th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Jill, Great to hear you are enjoying your summer in the Hamptons…after this last season you really deserve it. I am wondering if you have checked the top of your beautiful head of hair to see it BethaMEEEEE’s footprints have faded. She clearly stepped on all of you to get to her own show on Bravo. I for one have not and will not watch it) I recently read a clip in the news where she was quoted ” (her show) it’s all about me and it’s good to know that I can carry a show all on my own.” Some friend…using EVERYONE to make it all about her! Her hateful vile comments snarking everyone and everything can’t go unnoticed, that’s why it was so frustrating for me to watch the fawning over her by Ramona and Alex. BethaMEEEEE had hateful comments for each one of them and they so graciously accepted her apologies but couldn’t accept your heartfelt ones directed at them? And for Ramona to send you away from the villa was heartless and cruel. To forgive her would be one thing…to forget, probably never in my way of thinking. Hats off to you for your good sportsmanship conduct at the reunion show. Please return for another season…It wouldn’ty be the same without you. Kindest regards and Blessings to your entire family.
June 29th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Jill,
I am a big fan of yours and I wanted to bring this to your attention.
I left you a rave review on Amazon.com. I have since been harassed by numerous non fans. I felt you needed to know this in case it happens to any of your other fans.
Sincerely,
:beachmom”
June 30th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Seems to me there is a base cadre of about 20 reviewers who gang together and collectively bash anyone who writes a positive review.
Generally, its not statistically possible for random posters to check the “Was this Review helpful?” box during the same short time-frame. Same with the “Does this post add to the discussion? Do you?” queries.
I wonder where Bethenny is – you know, condemning these rabid posters; oh *I know* – she’s having “trust” issues against Jill as with her parents….lol
June 29th, 2010 at 7:25 am
I have to give you kudos for facing your “friends” and taking it so classy. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger and I can see that you will be so much stronger as a result of what you have gone through this past year. Which brings me to my question: How does Bobby & Allie think about you returning next season? I know that they care about you and it must kill them to see you hurt.
June 28th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
sound so much better YOU JILL!
now that you have had quality time in the Hamptons you sound
like you feel more relaxed and in your comfort zone dear….
too much dumbshit stress on you with all the ‘haters’ etc….
just stay STRONG my dear as you know you can!
you are a wise woman, with a good head on your shoulders too,stay strong!
don’t give in to the ‘haters’ either dear, you know better than that…
eveyone will not love you, but for those of us who do, just be grateful & stay your charming , gracious self! ignore the otheres!
you are a wonderful loving, caring person Jill….
just fabulous too! take care of YOU! you’ll be just fine too….

Jill,
Just wanted to let you know that I had left your book a great review on Amazon. For some reason they have removed the review and I cannot write another one. I then left a comment about it and my comment was deleted within 30 minutes. I really loved the book and don’t understand why my review was taken down. I just thought you should know this. Best to you.

Jill,
I think you are a very strong woman and you and Bobby seem like you have a marriage FULL of love. You are very lucky.
I just wanted to say that I DON’T understand why all of the women on the show can forgive and forget each other but not you. It makes no sense. Keep smiling girl!!
June 28th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Hi Jill, Enjoy your summer. Hopefully we will see you again. Bravo needs to makes things right before they do another season of RHONYC. They took the show to places most of us did not want to go. And I agree with you, Alex is a big part of the problem. Many viewers thought that you were threatening her when you said you didn’t think you could film with her. Again your attempt to be honest was twisted into a threat. I took your comment to mean that there was too much animosity between the two of you to be able to work together effectively and it was brave of you to say it. I would have said “I’d love to come back” just to look nice and then would have done what I wanted(me, coward). I’m on your side. Something about her doesn’t ring true. Alex seems to have a hidden agenda that is neither real nor honest. What she is trying to accomplish I don’t know, but she has been the most annoying housewife I have ever seen this season. And her actions are totally out of character with the sophisticated and educated image she tries to portray. If she doesn’t have a hidden agenda then she needs some serious introspection. So I hope Bravo tells Alex to stop with the ulterior motives and play fair with the other ladies or take a hike. I’ll admit I may have it all wrong, but that is how I see it. Take care and do what is best for your family.
June 28th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
I love you Jill, I think that you are the best, you had some rough times this season enjoy your Hampton Summer
June 28th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
Jill,
I adore you!!! Hope you’re having a fabulous summer!!
June 27th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
So glad you’re having a wonderful time. Putting Romana’s very poor choice to ask you to leave on the island trip behind you and continue with that friendship is inspiring. You’re a better person that me — talk about something hard to forgive!!!!!
June 27th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Jill,
No matter what – you are my favorite housewife. You have a life that people only dream about!
Enjoy your summer and I hope we see you next season on The Real Housewives of New York City!!
Cheers,

Jill – I have never posted anything in my life, but I wanted you to know how much of a fan I am of yours. Your a tough cookie and you should be proud of yourself. I too am not a fan of Alex as I think she is boring, and manipulative. Honestly, the show won’t be the same if you are not on it. Have a blast in the Hamptons and enjoy your family. At the end of the day, your family matters more than anything else and who cares about anything else. Keep smiling and wishing you all the success in the world.
June 27th, 2010 at 10:39 am
I love watching you so much Jill, and dearly hope you come back. I live a totally different lifestyle from yours, but I feel I can relate to you on many levels and subjects in life.
Your treatment by Alex was so unbelievable, that I can no longer watch the reruns. I feel that you handled yourself with dignity and humility and I was proud of you! I am happy to hear you are enjoying your summer with your family and friends, we all need to recharge that way.
I know you got closer to Kelly this past season but I am sincerely asking you to please steer her towards getting some counseling. I am not going to bash her, but I will say that something deep inside of her is causing all of what we see on the surface. She is a troubled woman..and I can tell she respects you, so I just thought I would ask.
Thank you again for your grace under fire, your wonderful style and your unique-ness!

Jill,
I want to tell you that if Bethany was ever a “REAL” friend she will make it right with you! I had the same thing happen with my BFF over something so stupid that I can’t even remember what it was about, but we didn’t talk for over a year and that KILLED me. It was a death that brought us together. In May I went to her wedding ( my gift was her dress) she always told me if she remarried I would be her Maiden of honor but I wasn’t it really hurt but I understood! Even though we are friend it may take a few years to get back to the way we were ( or maybe never) just keep trying don’t give up hope! Love you
June 27th, 2010 at 5:45 am
Jill,
Since watching Real Housewives of New York, I’m a big fan of you. You and I are a lot alike, we’re straight shooters that are painfully honest, we say what we think no matter what, and we’re true to ourselves. I only caught this season of RHNY, but I must say, the reunion show was ridiculous. The same way those horrendous women attacked Kelly until she broke under pressure, is the same way they came at you. I understand if someone wants to seek an apology, but COME ON!!! They were acting like middle school girls wanting apologies for EVERYTHING and bringing up old arguments that made NO sense to bring up!!! It takes two people to go one way, and it was quite painful to watch you being poked and prodded, and at some points it was even enraging to watch you apologize for THEM!!! I’m sorry that things turned out the way they did, and I’m glad that you have been able to rehash some things with Ramona, but those girls were wrong the way they backed you into a corner, and Bethenny is wrong for not forgiving you, and quite frankly, I don’t know why you’ve cared so much about being friends with her, if she wants to be a middle school drama queen and point out all your mistakes and bad behavior without pointing a finger back at her own behavior and mistakes, then that’s not a true friend. And Alex…I’ve got two words…attention whore. If not for her lively GAY husband, she wouldn’t even be on the show. What a fake two faced lunatic. I wish you well as well as your darling family, and cannot wait to see you on next season of RHNY!!! You’d better return Jill, the show will go to crap without you!!! Us Burns Family in WI LOVE YOU!!! <3
June 27th, 2010 at 3:23 am
jill,
you are so classy. i watch the show because of you. i find it very inspiring that a woman of your age (not that you’re old!) can admit to her mistakes and try to better herself. surprisingly, it’s not very common for people to really change their ways by choice after reflecting upon their relationships and lives.
above all you are a daughter, sister, mother, and wife. the relationships you have with these people speak volumes. they love and support you 100% which is why i know that you aren’t the conniving bitch some of the other wives portray you as.
you are my favorite part of this show and your friendships with kelly and the countess are sometimes to funniest thing to watch. you three are my absolute favorites!
flourish in love and laughter.
June 26th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Jill you are my favorite housewife. Of all the woman I would have you as my friend. I was team Jill for sure. What a crazy season. I love that you were humble in the end. Don’t people yourself up…you are only human and if a friend told me to get a hobby I too would be hurt by that. Your friends are lucky to have you. Please don’t leave the show. You are the most honest and sincere cast member. Thank you.
Patty B
June 26th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Hi Jill! I have never posted anything in my life. A virgin blogger I guess! Anyway, I hope you return to the show next season. The public opinion is much like Democrats and Republicans. Some believe one thing and the rest believe the other side. I seen an interview today that B may not return to the show next year unless there are cast changes and that she loves her new show because it’s “all about me”. That comment sealed the deal with me and I will not support her or her products EVER. She got what she wanted. I am just hoping that she wakes up and gets off the self absorbed train. BRAVO only airs what they want to air due to editing and I don’t think anyone except for those that were involved will ever know the truth about the season. If you come back to the show I will watch it, if you leave the show I will not. I do not like Alex, Simon, Ramona, Mario or Bethenny. Kelly is fun to watch because it is like solving a puzzle, The Countess is fun to watch because she is waaaay different than anyone I have ever encountered and you are fun to watch and the only person I wish I could have lunch with out of every celebrity in the world. Be strong, keep the faith and do what you do girl. After all, you may love B, but get rid of that negative self absorbed crazy person out of your life. You deserve someone who will be a true friend regardless of what goes down. That is what true friendship is all about. At the end of the day you go home to your Bobby, no one else and you can see he loves you deeply and you are very lucky to have that! I think I shall start a petition to get the others kicked off the show. HA! Take care-
June 27th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
If I could have written a reply to your blog it would not have been any more sincere than this one. Jill – you are an awesome lady. I would be honored to have someone like you as a friend! B may have been your friend, but you’re class and she’s not.
June 26th, 2010 at 11:03 am
This never made the Bravo website comments. After watching the “lost footage”, I find it amazing that Bravo chose to focus on pounding you by focusing on the issue between you and Bethany. It was not entertaining and I certainly would have enjoyed seeing the other activities and moments between you and the other cast members. We all have rough patches within our friendships. Your grace on the reunion show speaks to your character. All the best to you and your family.
June 26th, 2010 at 10:12 am
Hi Jill, I am so glad you getting to relax in the hamptons. I know you needed it. woww!! how they beat you up at the reunion show. I think everyone who knows you by now ,knows you can be a little snippy. so what was the problem? Bethanny’s a fast talking”witch” all the time and yet Alex likes that? Short term memory she was trashing simon last season. But I know that about here so when I turn the tv to BGMarried I watch as much as I can then turn it off when she bugs me that much. But see I know how she is from wathcing the show. Anyway, I Can’t wait to see you next season. Don’t worry about the other girls they will probably flip on who there friends with next season anyway. Be Nice!! love the show and Have a wonderful summer!!!!
June 26th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Jill,
First of all, I just wanted to tell you that you and your family is amazing. I met you, Gloria, Sol, Bobby and Lisa on your book tour in NJ and you all are wonderful! You all were so welcoming and caring; my mom and i fell in love with everyone!
Ok, so i was wondering, my mom and I are coming down to the Hamptons for a few days this summer, and i was hoping you could give us a few restraunt/store suggestions, as we have no idea where we are going! Also a nice beach/hotel. Thank you so much! I figured i could ask you, since you’re an expert
XOXO,
Julia

Jill,
You are far more interesting and have more character and depth than Bethanny and I am surprised that she would be offered her own show and not you. I really hope you get your own show….between you, your Mum and your sister – it would certainly make for an interesting viewing.

Jill,
I just wanted to let you know you always have and will always have a fan in me. I wish you and yours nothing but happiness and laughter!

Jill, I still think that you were trashed upon this past season and I am a huge fan of yours so I will defend you, haha — Anyway, I’m glad you had fun with Ramona and Luanne and can understand how things are not shown — Irregardless, I still think you are a person of integrity and have a heart of gold!!!

Just a thought to ponder. Playboy ASKED Kelly to pose nude. Peta ASKED Bethenny to pose nude. NOBODY ASKED ALEX to pose nude and she did anyway regardless if anyone wanted to see it or not,

Jill,
GREAT, I’m gonna order the book on Zarin Fabrics, thank you, cannot WAIT to get it. I was waiting until something like this offer since you don’t have an appearance in Houston any time soon.
Look forward to more updates from the Zarin world! Enjoy your weekend and blessings to you all. I hope to see you on housewives, it’s the only reality show I watch. But I understand if you don’t want to come back becaue of devilish Alex, not sure what her deal is but, I have to say I don’t really care, ha ha! And there ya go!
Now, with saying that I would like to see a Bravo spin off of the Zarin household! It could be you doing work at Zarin fabrics (gay friend and all y’all were a hoot!), fundraisers, charity (celeb) fashion shows, you in the hamptons, events, friends, travel no one liners needed! I think your life is interesting and someone should give you your own deal. But Kelly and Luanne their personalities just don’t jive with yours very well, for TV I mean. And kelly is kinda ummm… fill in blank! Life and Times of a Jewish family… Zarin World what a show name! ha!
Gotta go order my book, luv to you all!

Jill,
I have always felt that you were the anchor housewife of RHONY. Although I love Bethenny, I still feel that way. The show could not exist without Jill Zarin. Like many others, I was disappointed in some of the things you said and did this season, but I believe that you were sincere when you acknowledged your mistakes. So I’m still a fan. But girl, you have to admit that Kelly was SO TOTALLY in the wrong during that trip to Scary Island. At the reunion, you attempted to defend her by saying that you felt what she experienced when you arrived there and weren’t welcomed by the ladies. These were two separate incidents. Come on now, you saw the footage. Kelly was rude, and out of line. I love you, Jill, but when you take Kelly’s side, I can’t stand it. You know better. Jill Zarin is the one person on that show who says it like it is. You say what the viewer is thinking. That’s why we love you. Please don’t sell us out by trying to be PC.

Jill i hope everyone sees you were so misunderstood you are the best and clasiest lady on the show, love love love those green heels you wore on the last episode and your jewerely and clothes spectacular just like you, Hope you have a great weekend and hats off to you for being such a good mom and friend to those around you, i do hope you get rid of kelly she seems very unstable and you are just to classy to be hanging out with a person who is out of touch with reality. Hope you are back for the 4th season so i can watch i will not be watching unless you are back on you are the best and i wish you and your family happiness and bobby good health.

Jill you are a generous person I hope you continue to be a genuine person.

Jill, was Kelly and her girls invited? And if not….are you and her still friends and if so…have you bought new locks for the house?

I was just reading your mail and you talking about the girls slumber (?} party. This made me think about season four that would be a something I haven’t seen (this means it could have been done and I did not see it} but if each week one of you would take a child and friends out to do something, such as bowling, movie, one of the pizza places that have games, skating – ice and roller blade. I took my granddaughter and 4 to a movie – out to eat – and then we went to a hotel room and rented 2 or 3 movies.
You could get the kids from several sources I’m sure. You could also dp something with the homeless. I know you all raise money for all types of things – but it would also be good stories. You all then could talk about what you do instead of the drama you all did this year and to copy Kelly – not just gossip. Just an idea.
Hopefully you and Bethenny, and the rest come back.

Hi Jill, I am in the UK and we love the show here – You all seemed to have changed alot over the last 3 seasons, some for the good, some for the worst……but you seem like a really nice lady and u have a lovely family, specially Gloria!!!! Is you book available in the UK?

So I read the comments about you censoring the posts on this blog and even if you do, its your blog soooo its your choice and there is no need to post the negative comments they don’t do anything but hurt… If I had a blog I wouldn’t post the bad comments… So do what you want, don’t worry about what others want you to do.. I think its lame that the hate is so rampant these days, why even say mean things I don’t understand it honestly, nobody likes being at the receiving end of those comments so why are people choosing to be at the dealing end… okay I’m done lol
on a less preachy note I heart you and hope everything works out the way you want it to.
