Hope everyone had a great weekend. We were in the Hamptons. Sadly I hurt my lower calf and can’t walk, but I will survive! Brad and a few of his friends came over Thursday night. I know alot of you have been asking about him. He says “HI!” and we got to watch some of the reunion together. He feels terrible that he wasn’t there to protect me! He looks amazing and is working all over the place. Today was my Dad’s Birthday and my sister’s surprise BDAY party. She was totally shocked and I will post photos tomorrow.
The most common question this weekend was…WHAT WAS WEARING AT THE REUNION?
My answer on facebook:
Thank you everyone who asked about the bracelets that I wore on the reunion show! Glad to hear you liked them!
The big yellow cuff is Rodrigo Otazu- this one was also featured on Carrie in Sex And The City 2 (you can find his collections at henri bendels and fragments).
One sworovski gold bangle from india (sorry you can’t get in USA).
The 4 emerald/gold bangles are Roberta Chiarella.
The Earrings are from Rodrigo Ortega.
The shoes were Christian Louboutin emerald green suede pumps.
NO..it was NOT a price tag on the sole of my show. The red paint wore off quickly. I need to put red rubber soles on them this week!
Have a great night!
Love Jill

Just watched part 3, reunion and want to say that Ramona is a bully along with Bethenny & Alex. Birds of a feather flock together and I’m so tired how Bethenny always has to launch her zingers at Kelly. Kelly may be Kelly but I’m tired of Bethenny continually shredding her because she hates her. Speaking of Bethenny, even though you guys hugged, I saw her rip you apart in US Magazine, I would never be friend with Ramona, Alex (Ugh) and especially Bethanny. With friends like that, who needs enemies!! You had valid reasons to be upset with her but as usual, she turned it all around and made you the bad guy. She never takes responsibility for her actions. BUT you have to look at her relationships especially her family relationship and it’s no surprise how she treats her friend relationships. Sorry you bore the brunt of her zingers as she is a caustic individual. I’m also beginning to realize I don’t like Andy Cohen as I think he is biased. As far as Kelly, I feel sorry for her but I’m tired of the bullies namely Ramona, Bethenny & Alex. Alex is a coward and I don’t like her at all and Bethenny with her victim stance and saying you have serious issues and how you wronged her when she needs to grow up and look at her own actions, and now Ramona is two-faced and how dare her get in your face and say you owe her an apology for poison island. She is low class and definitely has anger management issues and is also a bully. Like I said, birds of a feather flock together!!! Jill, I love ya and your family and I’m a huge fan, but you don’t need those women. Anyway, I hope you know all that and move forward!!!

Jill,
I am not a reality tv person, in fact other than HBO and Showtime series, I watch no tv. But due to illness, I have been stuck at home during the day with nothing to do. My son’s girlfriend suggested Housewives, and for a week I have been glued-much to my amazement.
I am writing to you because I understand you, and felt compelled after reading your distress at not being forgiven. I think after your behavior, they are waiting to see if you will “act” what you speak. They are not sure your words are motivated by true remorse, or simply because you looked so bad. There have been times in my life when I got myself caught up in similar bullshit, and needed to be forgiven. Some people did forgive me, and a few never did. I changed and so can you. My therapist gave me a small book-Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements. Unbelieveable life changer. Here are the four agreements that YOU make with YOURSELF!!! 1.Do not make assumptions 2.Be impeccable with your words (don’t gossip) 3. Do not take things personally and 4. Always try your very best. If everyone did this- it would be a much better world. It absolutely changed me–I hope you read this. Dagny in Chicago

June 15th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Hi Jill,
I just wanted to tell you that I recently visited New York City and was delighted when I stubbled upon Zarin fabrics. It was a beautiful day and the door was open, do I peaked in. The store looked fabulous. Do you actually work in the store at times, or mostly behind the scenes? Sarah
June 15th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
hey Jill … sad to hear you got hurt
Do you have a fan page on facebook or a regular facebook? jw cuz there are soo many imposters on fb
If you can, let me know
June 15th, 2010 at 11:10 pm
I do but is getting spammed so I am reading comments only here for now!
June 14th, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Hi Jill, I am a big fan of the show and you are one of my fave characters.I love your style and the way you are with your family and that includes Ginger.I am a Mom and love the glam but since I am home with a 2 year old that doesnt happen much.It would make my day to get a note from you with any type of Mom advice for a stay at home Mom . How did you do baby stuff and still be glam when your daughter was little? what is your best advice for dealing with friends who dont make time for you but expect you to be there for them?Please write back as I am a big fan.thanks.;
June 14th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Bethenny is fake.. Ramona is crazy and two faced and Alex is a piece of garbage who tried to get airtime by picking fights with you with no just cause. Stay on top!!! Love you!!
June 14th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Now I finally see this years show for what it is..or rather what they tried to do to you. In any opinion poll that I ever saw,in years past, it was always you on top. I think they tried to make you look bad this year, with the editing, to get B all the sympathy they could to boost her own shows’ratings. Now she’s claiming she can’t be friends because you put too much importance on stuff…she said the very first season you liked “stuff”, yet, you were still her best friend. She seems to keep changing her reasons. Most people are lovers of “stuff”…I don’t consider it a major character flaw myself, lol. Keep your head up, you did nothing wrong, no one’s perfect or ever will be. Just keep an eye on Ramona…she’s two faced to you from the things I see on her facebook, etc… Good luck to you and come back next year!
June 14th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
thank you!!!! i am glad you liked the bracelets so much-they looked so great!
i appreciate the mention

I found it amazing that Bethenny had the nerve to tell you that Ramona & Alex were there for her when she needed them, and you weren’t. Hmmmm, but she couldn’t GET her not being there for YOU when Bobby was ill. (go figure) Take the 3 Stooges for what they are, Ramona the two face, Bethenny the user, and Alex the phony. They all expect forgiveness, but refuse to give it.
I have to say, the BEST line of this season was made by Bobby. When Bethenny stated she didn’t want to put him in the middle……his reply was priceless, “I wouldn’t have been in the middle”…..BRAVO BOBBY
Jill, remain true to yourself. You haven’t changed, others have (but they feel they are entitled). You are who you are and people can take it one way or another… but at least you are living honestly. Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can’t accept your imperfections, that’s their fault. People think it is holding on that makes you stronger, but sometimes it’s letting go. You aren’t broken Jill, don’t allow anyone to fix you. Some people make the world special just by being in it. Start being a cheerleader for yourself.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
I am going thru a similar issue with a so-called friend. she got a boyfriend and that was that. same situation where didn’t care to keep in touch and when a friend died of cancer i was too angry to contact her. my thinking was if she was a friend she should do her part and stay in touch. and what if I did tell and she still didn’t care?
yeah, she didn’t. I even reached out when her estranged father died. zippo. (I told you it was similar
anyways I went the route of making up even though I was mad. then she got engaged and contacted me. I was happy and asked if she needed help and dddd she went back to ignoring me!
ok that was long…but you aren’t alone and making up doesn’t always work. if people don’t realize that you are a loyal friend, screw them. she ignored you first and then every one turns on you for having the “gal” to be mad?????
hang in there! ps I am also a big bethenny fan, but I totally empathize with you in this case.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
I recall tuning in one weekend to this show, and the reason I watched the marathon that weekend was you. I really don’t like those three hypocrites on the couch and never have. You have admitted your mistakes. You are trying to apologize. THAT is what counts Jill and don’t let anyone tell you differently. I just have one bit of advice to give you. If Bethenny was such a good friend, she wouldn’t have let you go like that the second she got her own show and a man. I feel horrible watching you cry and no one comforting you. It breaks my heart.
Bethenny has some nerve calling you out on being superficial and fake. She’s been like that all along, and she’s hiding behind that new hubby of hers because she doesn’t want to be friends at the moment, but I don’t think you need someone that toxic and never have. I recall during that marathon Bethenny being rude to you, and I think honestly she might chase Jason away with that same attitude. Alex is a coward and a fake – always has been and always will be. As for Ramona, she is unbelievably inappropriate to the point of insanity. She’s a joke sadly and not all upstairs, but she thinks she’s loved by all. She is quite delusional.
I think you and LuAnn were fun together this season, and I think Kelly although a bit eccentric is a better real friend than any of those fakes on that other sofa. As for Sonja, I think she’s a follower as well. She was everyone’s best friend at that retreat when it suited her.
I read people pretty quickly, and I had Bethenny’s number from the first episode. Bethenny is all about BETHENNY, and YOU were all about Bethenny and being a friend and then were abandoned the second that wasn’t convenient anymore. YOU deserve better than that Jill, and I think if Bethenny makes up with you that YOU need to set some ground rules instead of letting her run over you every chance she gets.
Anyways, I hope you do return next season. You look amazing up there tonight. Keep your head held high because there’s some public out there that isn’t judging you but the rest of those hypocrites on that other sofa.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
Jill,
I’m not a reality tv fan; it is after all a giant oxymoron….but as a New Yorker, a woman who is a self-made and successful, I thought I might get a kick out of seeing what Bravo did with our fair city…and the wonderful women in it.
Frankly, you are the ONLY real person…the only woman I can possibly find anything in common with after watching just a few minutes of each episode…
Well, I can’t really say I’m surprised that I just can’t stomach it. I’m a massage therapist, and as such, live my life oriented towards helping people, especially women, live with more peace of mind, more healing, and less stress…so when the show became nothing but a huge, long fight between women I can’t say it did anything but depress me.
So, on the recommendation of another viewer I just watched the first episode of the ‘reunion’. Honestly, the criticism, the ridiculous level of cruelty shown you is just so sad to me…
I started out as a school teacher in the Bronx years ago, teaching eighth grade English. What amazed me, day after day, with classes up to 36 kids, is how much energy my young female students spent being mean to each other. I believe deeply that women fight with each other because we are taught not to trust each other. No matter our class or race: women are supposed to compete with each other, not be friends.
I know, I’m going on too long, but just wanted to put in my two cents for how you seemed on this ‘reunion’ episode: honest, humble, imperfect, but flawlessly kind hearted. There is nothing more valuable. Period. Thanks for being real, beautiful, and worth watching. I can’t say I’ll be following closely, but I’m a fan of yours, nonetheless.
All the best to you and your family,
Nico
June 14th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
Jill I am so tired of seeing them rag on you, I might not watch the entire show tonight! I told Ramona what I think too, she’s been your friend so long and geets in on the ripping of Jill….I can’t stand Alex a t all never did now worse! Kelly belongs in a basket locked up for her own safety! can’t stand her either….she r agged on Bethanny last season don’t you remember? she was nuts then! now worse! I hope this goes thru, seems not to? I wish you well and all good things dear Jill, for you and your family too. may GOD bless you…
June 14th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Jill,
All I can say is just watching the first 10 minutes of that literally made me sick to my stomach and I’m not even lying about that. The show is called Real Housewives, not Perfect Housewives. Please stop apologizing for who you are and move forward like you say, you don’t deserve to get beaten up like that.
Take care,
Jenn
June 14th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Where did you get your shoes? They are AMAZING!!!!

I posted what I wore on earlier post.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Jill..received card re..you looking like a young Stephanie Powers.She is also a class act, like you. Not sure about tonights reunion show, Thurs was hard to watch. You were a star and maintained your class and dignity. All of your fans have your back!!
June 14th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Jill,
It took major chutzpah to admit your mistakes and apologize the way you did on the reunion show. I have great respect for you.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Jill, I absolutely love you. I have always been such a big fan of you, and I aspire to be like you one day. You are business smart and I think you have created a wonderful life for yourself and your family. I don’t know why everyone is so quick to pick on you this season!? I think you are so classy, and I really admire you. You are better than Bethenny and she doesn’t deserve you as a friend or acquaintance. Please don’t change who you are because you are such a great role model and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend.
June 14th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
Jill,
Love you!!!!! You are really getting beat up by Alex, who is soooooo fake and I just want her to zip her lip!! She is making me ill!! Just hold your head high we are all allowed to make mistakes!! We love you and support you and we understand how you feel!!! God Bless you!!!
June 14th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Jill you are awesome !!!!! Bethany, Alex, and Romona are immature people. Don’t take any crap from them …. I hope you get your own show !!!!!! I cannot wait to read your book !!!
June 14th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Dear Jill,
Gosh, you’re the only real person on the whole show. I feel so bad for you because of the way you’ve been treated this year.
First of all, remember, without you, Bethenny would have nothing. You, out of the goodness of your heart, opened your home and your world to a woman whose own parents didn’t even want her. Not that Bethenny deserved that treatment, no one does, but where is her gratitude? Yes, maybe you did want to be included in her media events and success — you’re human, and while others would say, it was not your place, on the other hand, when you included her in all of your events and success, she never said no. Bethenny wasn’t a socialite, didn’t really have a reason to be on that show, but you brought her along on the magic carpet ride, and she is a total ingrate.
But, eventually, Bethenny will understand and be your friend again. In the meantime, stop apologizing. I feel as if this season should be called the Jill Zarin Magical Apology Tour. You didn’t do much wrong. Certainly nothing you shouldn’t be forgiven for. Certainly not more than she did. Enough is enough. You so outclass these women it’s unbelievable you should even care what anyone of them say. Although, I have to say, your willingness to be polite and apologize shows your superiority.
LuAnn has real class — she knows how to hold her tongue and to not get overly involved with their issues. Learn from her. You are wise to keep her as a friend.
Ramona, however, is a two-faced idiot. Why she would treat you that way when she begged you, insisted, that you would go on that trip, is beyond me. She should have excused herself from Bethenny and Alex and greeted you warmly and thanked you for surprising her. Just the day before she was upset you hadn’t called, when you surprise her with a visit, she treats you like scum. This is typical Ramona. She is a horrible person. If it’s not about her, she’s not happy. She stirs the pot, pitting people against each other and lying to their faces. If anyone is planting stuff in the press, it’s her. But, look at what kind of person she is. After having a renewal ceremony, she spends time both before and after with friends INSTEAD of her husband. She doesn’t go away with him, but on her own??? What a farce. Even her own daughter doesn’t really like her. Smart girl!
Alex is a hanger-on. Look at what she said in the very first episode. She wants to be seen. To attain the status you have. She is a complete and utter fake with her strange husband and rude children. She writes a book about parenting when her children are the worst behaved atrocities? She is insane.
Poor Kelly needs some help, but through it all, she defended you and was totally loyal. She wasn’t as crazy as they made her out to be. A lot of what she said made sense. Why should she have a one-night stand? Why should Ramona bring you up and then gossip about you? Kelly’s heart is in the right place. Considering that I do not feel really strongly about Kelly, I am surprised how much I liked her loyalty and attitude even during her less coherent moments.
Most of all, think of all you’ve achieved. You are the ONLY one with a husband who really adores you. It shows in his every pore. You have the best heart, you have a child who loves you and is turing out well. You don’t need much else — except perhaps a better class of people to hang with.
And as far as Bethenny — I’ve seen it much too often. Eventually you two will make up and Alex and Ramonna, who stirred the pot and got in the middle, thinking they’d now be her friend — they’ll be the ones left in the cold. (It’s like a real divorce, be careful what you say about the “other” until it’s final because when they make up, it’s you who are out a friend!) But, sweetie, Bethenny isn’t worth it. She’s so self- centered — have you seen the first episodes of her new series? She treats her husband-to-be like dirt. Nothing he wants is good enough for their apartment — not his basketball, not his friends. She compromises on nothing. Poor guy can’t even say he’d rather she not hire a man when she runs around the apartment half-nude. Their marriage is already doomed. The only opinion that is ever right, is Bethenny’s.
Take care, we love you. Get off the show and live your life well, and without these morons.

The lowest form of life is someone who kicks you when you’re down. Those three harpies aren’t your friends, Jill. Never were.
June 14th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Hey Jill,
I just wanted to say that I understand what you went through with some of the housewives. You remind me of me. Unfortunately, I just think that we are misunderstood. It’s true that we may come off strong sometimes, but it’s our personality. At least we are not rude or renewed like other people ; ) We are not mean girls as some may call us. I support you 100 % and you have a wonderful husband who supports you too. Oh, and I think you suprising the women on the trip was not some crazy idea. I think it was a fun suprise and they should have been more welcoming considering Ramona invited you, yet she told the others you were not invited. Just stay strong and move on. I think your apology was sincere and they should have forgiven you. Ramona has been a friend for too long to treat you like this. I think it is unfair. I give you much credit to admitting your mistakes and trying to make things work. Too bad they can’t handle it. I’m on your side.
June 14th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Jill,
I am a fan of yours, as I am also a Jewish mother and housewife on the UES.
Alex is a freak. She obviously wants her share of attention because she was definitely considered the BORING one. At the reunion she was speaking to people as she should be speaking to her awfully behaved sons.
Her reaction to your coming to St Johns was ridiculous. We all have people that we dislike or dont get along with- when I see one in a public place i dont start crying and breaking out in hives like a freak_ if you do, you need a xanac or paxil or something. Im pretty sure that classifies as some social anxiety disorder.
And fyi, I am a mother to 2 very active boys- while boys will be boys, I likely wouldnt bring them to a dinner party in a formal restaurant, or any restaurant that doesnt have paper tablecloths.
Looking forward to seeing part 2 tonight- I really hope you dont let Alex engage you- who gives a sh*t what she thinks.
June 14th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Hi Jill, I only started watching the show this year so I can’t give an opinion of the friendship between you and Bethenny or if your personalities have changed since television exposure. I think you have been hammered more than necessary, but I do have a bit of advice: learn to listen and try not to be defensive about everything. There is TOO MUCH gossiping by everyone on the show and it is not attractive at all. Women, in general, are very guilty of this. Jill, you are darling and have much to offer, so don’t ever feel you have to compete with others. You also have a loving husband and daughter, mother and sister, so concentrate on your blessings and socialize with women that will appreciate your friendship. I hope the next season will go better for you if you try to make a few changes. Your fans and anti-Jill watchers will notice it. Good luck hon!
June 14th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Love, Love, Love you! I am reading your book as I am a “Mexican Jew”, yes you heard right! The stories you and your sister write are so very true by the Jewish standards. My Jewish Grandma was such an influence in my life..man I loved her and miss her every day! Your mother is also such a love. I enjoy the show and think you are great no matter what ill things people have to say. You are who you are, and it seems you have such a loving family…you have a lot to be thankful for. Take care, be kind to yourself, and you are a great lady no matter what others say! xo Amber
June 14th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Jill,
You looked just beautiful on the Reunion show! Just bought your book today, and I am loving every word of it! While I am not Jewish (my paternal grandparents were and my father began to embrace his Jewish heritage in the final years of his life), I am a daughter, sister and mother and am finding it very inspiring! Sending you much love and happiness! You deserve it!
June 14th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
Thank you so much Julia! Jill
June 14th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Hi Jill,
I am sitting here re-watching part 1 of the reunion show. I just want to let you know that you have always been my favorite housewife. Alex is faker than plastic. B should have really thought about her comment on how fame changed you, REALLY B? She must not evaluate her own self very often. Don’t let these petty girls get to you. They are in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and this is honestly what they do with their time. It was very obvious B, Ramona, and Alex had discussed how they were going to attack you prior to filming. It was completely unfair and immature. Love you Jill! Keep that head up! You’re the best!
June 14th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
Hi Jill,
Some are referring to you twitting last week during the show…I read it and you were merely explaining to viewers YOUR opinion. What we see is edited, a lot, it’s good to know feelings and not editing. Bethenny will be back, if you want that type of friend, she’ll be back. Next year I hope we see more of Bobby and Ally, you’ve got it ALL girlie~
June 14th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
I had been wondering where the hell Brad was? Love him and saw a snippet in the episode before the last I think?
Jill, you have never looked better than in this last season. Always gorgeous since season 1, but just PHENOMENAL this season and in the reunion.
Having said that, I was really disappointed in the way you presented yourself – or the way they edited you. You appeared to be so mean and catty. That completely sucks because I have really loved you!
June 14th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Brad was with us last weekend. He is great and I will tell him you asked about him! Jill
June 14th, 2010 at 7:13 pm
Jill! Forget the other women! You are amazing! I love watching you, because you remind me of my mother so much. You tell it like it is and that is how I am. Good luck with becoming friends with Bethenny again… Just don’t change who you are… For anyone! Be true to yourself!

June 14th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
Jill,
I think you are a lovely, sensitive, caring person and I think you are living proof that “no good deed goes unpunished.” I live on Long Island and am hoping against hope that you will be making an appearance out here. Anything scheduled in the near future?
Dani
June 14th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
…well, Bethenny couldn’t have said it better when she acknowledged that she was “damaged”. Sadly, she is a product of the circumstances of her childhood and seems destined to further her dysfunctional
legacy.
June 14th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
Jill, like I said before, you and B will not be friends again as long as Jason is against it. She said in in R1 that Jason doesn’t care for you. So, that’s the issue. She is trying to please her husband and he is making her feel better about treating you so bad. I can see it on her face that she still has feeling for you and want to make up but she can’t because she has jason and a I sure others wispering in her ear. Take care honey
June 14th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Hey Jill,
I just wanted to say that I understand what you went through with some of the housewives, as I had a similar experience to it. After a terrible year, I realized I was not the same person they used to be friends with, and they are not the people I used to value. Just stay strong and move on and a weight will be lifted.
You look great and I wish you the best!
June 14th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
I absolutely love you Jill and if Bethanny wants to continue to make the world seem about her then let her. Take the high road realize what a friend you were to her and be that to someone else. Btw I lost a “true Friend” this year too over something real pity and I decided that the only thng I can do is Ignore this person. Anyway I totally understand you.
June 14th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I appreciated your “better late than never” open apologies to Bethenny and other housewives. When you were very real and honest with Kelly (why HER?)about how you made mistakes with Bethenny and how you miss her, I was so glad to see you did understand everything and had the right perpective! If only you could have contained that frame of mind and spoken from the heart like that with Bethenny. You only really did at the reunion. So much time between you both wasted, first by her and then by you. I wish you and your family the best,
Brisa
PS unsure if one must bash Bethenny to be allowed to post here.
June 14th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Hello Jill. My biggest concern about the show is you and bethenny and your relashionship. Please email me because I am a nice, sweet, young girl. Please reply. Ps u are or of my favorite girls on rhony!! Xoxo Carly
June 14th, 2010 at 6:17 pm
Jill
I watched part one, and have to say you held your own in a tough room. Congratulations…
All in all, you have nothing to apologize for, and in time you will see your friend B to be the fame chaser she really is, desperate for love and attention.
I know you have changed, but the changes I see is a woman who is growing more and more into her own in the light of celebrity. To be honest, in first few seasons I liked you, but never loved you. Now i love you because you quit trying to mother people and are just living your truth… F*#K them if they can’t live in your world..Real Housewives of NYC is about housewives, not wanna be fledgling stars or wanna-be Manhattan-ites from Brooklyn or even, dare I say, wanna-be singers. Hang in there, you have more class than the rest of the cast
