Hi Jill!! I think you are the sweetest housewive even though I aslo admire Luann & adore Bethany..I think you 3 make the show worth watching!!
I REALLY DON´T WANT IT TO END!! PLS...
You are the type of friend I would love to have around!!
Huggs & kisses to Ally & your mom!

Love Kandi and love you Jill, Can't wait for your show to start

i do agree with your point about Kim and the assistant, "WHAT DID SHE DO TO HAVE ONE". After that, don't worry about HWOA, the show HWONYC, is a trip in itself.

BYE!

You are blogging about things that obviously work. RHOA is the network's highest rated RH... so go figure they must be doing something right... oh, wait more viewers are actually tuning in more to them than your show...

I miss your blogs; hopefully we'll have more of them when HW of OC starts next month??? When is the book coming out? Please keep us posted.

Yes. It (the fighting) was mostly unwarranted and did not make much sense...

What happen, you got feed-up with the fighting as I did?

What happen, you got feed-up with the fighting as I did?

With the exception of Khandi...1st season was better. This season is almost "scripted." Khandi - you and your family are in my prayers.

Hi Jill, just wanted to say that you and Bethenny(sorry I know it's misspelled)are my favorite housewives, I'm also from New York(Queens), I like how you both tell like it is even when it's with the both of you, it shows me that you have a strong friendship and that's great. I read your blog and I agree that Season 1 was real good, but for some reason it kinda got out of hand to all of the housewives because instead of being nice or even fair to one another they all have something bad to say about one another. Come on, we women should be together in telling eachother positive things and helping eachother out, not bashing eachother. I do love the Atlanta Housewives, but you all got to stop talking about eachother so harshly. Either way, I love the show and of course I keep watching, truthfully it kinda saved me, when I first started watching I was in deep depression because of my life how it turned out so I was going through a lot that I really didn't want to be here(alive)but I thank GOD for my daughter, mami & papi sisters & brother for helping me even when I wasn't so stable, but thank you Housewives of NYC & Housewives of Atlanta. I guess by watching your show and being entertained and seeing that others has issues, made me forget a little of my problems. I realized that not only that I need my family, but my family needs me-my daughter grandsons and all, they are my everything and my daughter is my rock(she's been helping me get through this). Please keep me entertain, please love eachother take the bad with the good, life is short and damn it all of sisters need to be together. Peace & Love to all

I agree with the first statement, find a small town and film it. I would do it. I love you jill!

You're great Jill! I am wondering why bravo doesn't do a "real" housewives show based on "real" people - the majority of the population doesn't not have a 7 figure salary - find a small town or even a city with an average income and film them and their friends.

Hello Jill,

you are pure class!! I love you.

I agree last season was more realistic but I love Kandi.

Jill,
You are my favorite! I decided to check out to the bravo site to see if I could read up on any blogs and here you are! Will lookforward to your book and any upcoming shows from the RH of NYC. xoxo

I love your blogs and I miss you!. Please keep on writing for us we miss you when you don't.

"As usual you are dead on!" My sister introduced me to the Real Housewives of New York & Atlanta. She says that I will marry a woman like Bethenny ( I completely misspelled her name. ) I don't know what it is about YOU and HER, but I can watch and listen to the two of you all day. Your comments about the Atlanta Housewives were so perfect, and I agree with all of them. It was definitely a please seeing you as a Guest Blogger and I can't wait to see your new season.

WHEN I GET OLDER I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE YOU GUYS, SUCCESSFUL AND BEAUTIFUL.

don'y hate cause this season is better than the first one

CANT WAIT FOR YOU GIRLS TO COME BACK! I MISS ALL OF YA LADIES!!!!

Love your comments.
I was hoping you would expand on your perpective of relationships/interaction the ladies are having. It would have been refreshing to hear your point of view.

Can't wait till NY is back! You ladies have real careers, real money & you keep it real. ATL is just fake, fake, fake.

jill, love you and Betheney. Only reason I watch Houswives of NY..
PS did they post Kelli's pic in National Geographic?

Why arent you and Bethenny blogging anymore? What happened? I only come on Blogs to read what you and Bethenny have to say! Please start blogging again!

WHY ALL THE NEGATIVE ABOUT KIM?? SHE IS A GREAT PERSON!!!

At least you have a job.

I can not wait till the NY wives come back just as long as Kelly is not on the show! Out of viewer pitty NeNe was given the edge over everyone because she had the two father drama. NOW no one feels pitty for this old has-been stripper this season and she will not get my viewer's vote. She is too mean and the reality star's fame went to her head. I wait with anticipation on word of her coming divorce, she stole another woman's husband back in her stripper days and now that the pitty party is coming to an end so is her marriage.

Jill,
I loved your blog, I feel most the same way as you. Next time tell Kim stop letting her little chunky daughter eat cupcakes late at night. I think its the reason for the chunkyness. Its just not right to that to your children. Love ya

Jill,
You are my favorite REAL HOUSEWIFE (married I mean), but Bethany does bust my chops everytime she opens her mouth,she's a "ball buster." You remind me so much of my mom there is always an opinion for everything, but I love her with all my heart. My Fiance watches the NY season w me for you, he thinks you are a hottie.

for some reason I think I like your mom more than I like you. I guess its annoying the way you're always plugging your endeavors, the blog is supposed to be about the show not you. I guess I don't see the whole point in the guest blogger thing. I guess you're not as busy as Bethany who apparently dropped out due to a real career and all...

Jill you are sooo on about them not being authentic this season..they are like crabs in a bucket, grabbing for attention, & being spiteful in the process. But I also felt the same about Bethanny on the last season to an extent, but she was classy the whole way through. I too date a very wealthy married man 4 over 3yrs, & I am clear that he has no intent 2 leave.Therefore I am cautious about the $ i spend vs. $ i save(which is more than the spend). Nor will i ever be so public as Kim is about that. She can't live her life depending on his continued contributions especially @ the expense of caring 4 her children! Repulsive 2 say the least!

Love you blogs when you post them.

Bring Back Bethany....she updated the Blogs immediately after the show airred!

Where are you, and why isn't Bethenny bloging also?? Come on ladies, I love reading your blogs about the other housewives!

Hi Jill,

You are my fav on the RHNYC. I also love the way Bethanny imitates you. I think it's awesome. I love the fact that you speak whatever is on your mind but I do have some concerns; the whole 'baby mama' quote, isn't that a racial term?? My other concern; I sent your mom an email "ask Gloria" about four months ago I believe, for some advice and have yet to hear from her. I know we're all busy but to not reply to someone in FOUR months is a little extreme! Nonetheless, you're still my fav and some of your other cast members are SOO fake! I won't list the names b/c you know who they are! :) Can't wait for Season 3!!! Hope you're part of it b/c if not, I may not watch it!!

Hey Jill,

Missing your insight the last few weeks but it hasn't been much to write home about I guess. I agree that the ladies felt more genuine season 1 even Lisa has fallen into the kattiness and I recall her trying to be a peace maker in season 1. A little drama is good but black people don't live dramaful lives every single day I swear we don't. I think the ladies could tone down the drama and show us more about who they are. For example, would love to see Sheree with her kids, all 3....would love to see more of Lisa, Ed, and EJ as a family, would love to know what Kim does to keep her house afloat since she has hired help for everything or what she does with her spare time instead..(I think...lol) Nene I would like to see her business side at work she did a great job directing the photo shoot. I just think they have more to offer but they think viewers want to see the drama. Anyhoo...you and Miss Frankel and my faves on NY can't wait for the next season!!! I so want to drape my modest home with Zarin Fabrics but it may be a stretch for me.

Best wishes

LMAO @ kims red top! What in the world is she thinking? She tells people that she has "class" but i think that top makes her look like she has NO class! Looks like there may be a boobie alert at any moment

MY FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK!!!
Jill: You are by far my favorite on the show. Say it like it is, Tell it like it is, and if you dont LIKE her, dont hang with her!!
My husband is bringing me to New York for my 50th Surprise Birthday Present, (Obviously not a surprise). Ihave never been and I am very overwhelmed.

Any suggestions where to stay, where to go, what to do? I dont have your size purse, (and I dont mean the 16,000 dollar one either), but I thought maybe you could suggest a place in the middle of everything and maybe some things to do. I would love to see the store and even more, YOU!! This Hospice Nurse needs a few days to herself. Hope you can get back. Say Hi to Bobby!!

Have a great night; Pam

Jill:

Making light of "How many baby mommas do you have?" is an affront to the white, black, gay, latino, any community. Having lots of baby mommas just de-stabilizes a community. You shouldn't be so trite about it -- even if everyone is doing it.

I love your show the best, when is the show coming back, i can't wait. I just have to say I think your the best. I love the way you put it out there, and your always so honest with the ladies. And Ali is so adorable, I believe your raising her to be a fine young woman. I myself, are a mother of a 10 year old daughter, and I'm trying to raise her with the thought of, she can come to me for anything. I like what you said one time," I know my daughter is my bestfriend and I want her to come to me for anything". I just had to say I think your just great. Thanks for giving us something to relate to, because everyone my not live the sameway, but we can think the same way. Thank you again for just being REAL.

Hey Jill,

When is the Housewives of NYC coming back...

Jill - AMEN to the no gum chewing. . . *Ladies* NEVER chew gum in public, ever, ever, ever! Total lack of good upbringing.

Hi Jill
I think that you New York ladies think that your so perfect and the deal is that your not okay. Give the Atlanta ladies a break because New York house wifes have a lot of drama as well. We see all their faults and fakes but you just need to give it a rest.

Jill, I want to come to New York just to visit your fabric store. Love Love Love your store.

Its good to hear none of these ladies have demanded more money, simply for having a camera follow them around 24/7-organic indeed. How laughable receiving insight and judgment, from the very same people who argue in attempt to defend their actions that this show is just a mere glimpse into their lives due to editing.

"OMG! What is that red top Kim is wearing? I had to cover Bobby's eyes! I won't say anymore."

LOL!

If you are going to be the Guest BLOGGER than you need to BLOG.

Jill, I can't wait for RHONY to come back. I think all the incarnations since RHOOC and RHONY have been... well should have remained just ideas for shows rather than shows. I've been to that fabric store and while I don't have the cash flow that any of the RHOA have (or pretend to have) I think I came out cheaper than a trip to NYC, hotel stay and the cost of fabrics would have run me, lol. Besides the cost of practically everything is less here in Atlanta, including fabric. I think you made some great observations on the RHOA and hopefully they'll take it down a bit or a lot. I like Kandi, but I really miss DeShawn.

It's nice to have an outsider's wife view of these ladies this season. They all have seemed to go off of the deep end.. They are not nice to each other, do not seem to want to accept each other or be friends.. so what is the point? They all seem very self-absorbed in their own fame and fortune from this show.. and want to be the "drama Momma" of the season.. except for Kandi.. She is very talented, successful, and nice.. I just hope that the others don't pull her into the mess. She IS too good for that man who has a questionable past with so many ex. wives/children. She seems to be at the peak of her career and she has the means to take care of her family/daughter... so, why would she want to marry him? In today's world, just live with the guy and check it all out before you give up your self, success, money, etc., at the risk of some emotional/financial upheaval if it doesn't work out??? Like your Bethaney.. She played it cool with her ex. boyfriend, and thank goodness that she didn't marry him!! Women today that are successful do NOT need to marry until they can be assured that the man is a keeper.. and Kandi's man has a LOT to prove before he should marry/father another child again!! Why should Kandi be another victim of his mistakes with women and children? She will be the one taking care of all of them if anything goes wrong. Her mother is correct in questioning that relationship for marriage. I think Kandi should play it cool and live with him and see how the dice rolls for a while before she signs her life/wealth over to any man...especially when he has tons of kids that will be in her life forever.. Is HE going to be able to support them and their future/college, etc.? or is he going to live off of her wealth?

Hey Jill, to your comment about the ladies stepping up their game, i agree. However, you'll did the same. I think the HW of OC are the most glamiours from day one. And when the show went to NY, i was like, what? do you'll not do your hair, makeup or tan. Now you'll are all "Class Acts". I'm sure after anyone sees their self on tv for the first time, they are going to do some changes the second time around. As for Kim, she's cool. I am a stay home mother at this time and wish i could have an assistant... You'll are on the same show, so does it really matter who does what?

I need a Jewish mother...

I heart Jill. I had forgotten how much I miss YOUR show. Don't get me wrong, all the HW shows are nothing if not entertaining, but you're the best. Kandi is giving you a run for your money though, teehee

Jill,

Please don't act like the Housewifes of NYC have the monopoly on fashion... You talk about these women as if the women on your show are perfect, and we ALL know that isn't true.

You are my favorite NYC housewife, but you have a tendency to be toooooooo damn judgemental sometimes...

I TOTTALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID. I THINK YOU NAILED ALL OF THEM. THE LADIES ACT LIKE THEIR IN HIGH SCHOOL. I THINK NONE OF THEM HAVE SHOWN TOO MUCH CLASS. EVERYTHING IS SO OVER THE TOP. EVERYTHING SEEMS STAGED!!!

You are so honest it is tottally obvious and that is awesome. I know exactly what you are talking about with the whole season 1 thing.

JILLLL...your def my fav housewife..(not only cause i'm from Nyc but i love your sense of humor) lol NYC baby!!! lol.. seriously though i wonder the same exact thing about "kim's assistant" her purpose is still unknown.. anywho i can't wait for the next season of NYC HOUSEWIVES..tell Bethany i say hello darling (as if i know u guys personally lol) she's def the 2nd fav..lol muah love 2 love ya!!

Promiscuous because you did not sleep alonE as a kid. OMG !!! Not all of us were born with silver spoons in our mouths. I was raised on a farm with 5 sisters and 4 brothers.. A 3 bedroom house. One for my parents. One for my brothers and One for my
sisters. In the girls room there was room for two beds and one crib. 2 girls to a bed and 1 baby in the crib. AND WE WERE NOT PROMISCUOUS AS TEENAGERS AND ADULTS. GET REAL !!!!!

Jill,
You have always been my favorite housewife of all time !!!!
I think you need to give kim some advice on how to carry her self as a lady and stop talking about everybody and find something useful to do with her time other than looking for married men to provide for her!!! Can't wait for your new season!!!

Candy

Oh Jill Zarin,love how you keep it real! You go girl.

Hi Jill,
I am looking forward to your season to start! Do you guys blog for each other's show all of the time? Interesting. I have to say Jill, it is quite natural when you have a relationship with a friend; you mention them to your mother when you talk. Obviously she wanted to meet her because she picked up on the fact that NeNe is fun and outgoing. Your mother came to visit and sat with Bethany in the kitchen, and went as far as to tell her she would consider her a daughter and would do whatever she could for her. She didn't even know her that well. Do you recall that episode? That’s how people connect sometimes, through other people they trust.

My first reaction regarding ATL season 2 is the same as yours: fake, fake, fake. I liked NeNe from the get go for her raw honesty and sense of humor; but, even she has given way to her pseudo fame this season. Sadly, I can’t think of one of them that I would want as a friend. You, Jill, on the other hand, have a scrumpdillicious personality (and skin! How in the heck are you getting such glowing skin? I thought I had a good doctor!). Oh, and your mother is the cats pajamas! Wish we would see more of her in the upcoming season. Sheree, well, can we say mean as an alley cat? And, Lisa, well, maybe it’s the Inglewood in her, but it’s a shame her personality isn’t as pretty as her smile. Regarding Kim, I just don’t know why she has a personal assistant. Is it really just to carry her LV bag into the photo studio? I mean, really, it has wheels!

Kim is a jackass! Love Nene and Lisa.
I miss the OC and NY....my faves. NJ and Atlanta are a little too crazy!

jill, love you, love the show, hope your daughter is doing well. cant wait for next season, sorry i get such entertainment out of your personal life...don't be so mean to bethenny next season.

Hi Jill,
I want to add that my favorite housewife was Deshawn. Does anyone know why she is not in the show this season??? I love her, she is very positive and never feed into the drama. That is commendable! Although I like Nene and sympathized with her last season, she needs to back away from the drama and negative comments.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is experiencing overkill with the drama. Sheree lost some serious points with me as far as the hair pulling incident. I feel that the show maybe authentic, just similar to kids when they have guests around and "show-out". I totally disagree with what you say about the kids sleeping with Kim. People just have gotten to point where children sleep alone for years they slept together due to people having so many children. I love all the Real Housewives shows and you and Betheny are my favs. on NY. Take Care

Hi Jill. I watched your show and I have to admit the Atlanta housewives are much more entertaining. I don't know maybe it's the whole NY life style. It's not for everyone.

My favorite housewives are the New Jersey housewives very exciting and the Atlanta housewives. Sorry Jill.

Jill, how dare you comment on the way they dressed last season they were dressed just fine. It's not like the women on your show dress any better. You guys gossip and have just as much drama, as the real housewives from the ATL, your drama may not be as colorful as theirs but drama is drama. At least I can say they age better then any of the house wives on any of the shows aired.

Hey Jill

I totally agree that this season seems more staged. I guess that's the price of fame though. I also wanted to point out that whenever I read you blogs I have this thick NY accent in my head!!!

Jill no offense but WHY are YOU BLOGING? This has noting to do with you

Jill, I love you and your advice 99% of the time but the cosleeping leading to being promiscuous is a bit ridiculous. Cosleeping is extremely healthy for children and leads to a strong sense of security. It is proven to lower the risk of childhood stress, and SIDS in infants.

Jill,
You asked if anyone else think's it's strange that Lisa's Mom invited Nene, a stranger to visit. I don't think it's strange at all. Nene's a friend of Lisa's and presumably she mentions her to her Mom. Have you thought about the fact that this is the second season of the show and maybe Lisa's Mom is a fan. It's no different than your daughter going off to college and you inviting a roommate or classmate to visit....what's the big deal?

Hello Jill,
I miss the RHONY, these Atlanta girls are just imitations of the real thing. Atlanta seems to have lost the little class they once had. I can't imagine RHONY fighting physically, losing homes, ganging up like real gangsters. You ladies still remain classy, virtuous and strong. Atlanta is by far the worst I've ever seen.
Loyal to RHONY!

Jill Zarin,
Great chick, you are.
Looking forward to the Fall season, yes?

omg Jill! When are you ladies returning so everyone can see what real class looks like. I miss you all and look forward to the new season.

Jill,
I agree that the ladies seem to be acting a little this season. It's not as real as before and NeNe needs to stop with the what did you say about me routine. Be friends with all of them if you want to, but drop the inquiry. Nobody is goind to tell the complete truth. It was their first season and they didn't prepare for all of that gossip to come back on them. It's understandable how it got out of hand, but if they want OC success they better get their acts together. By the way I love you and Bethany on NY Housewives.

I love when you blog. You basically say what everybody is thinking (Kim's career haha) and your not mean about it :)

Hi Jill,

I love you!!! You are my favorite Housewife. The Altanta ladies are entertaining, but you are the real deal! Go girl! I can't wait for the NY show.

Jill!! I canNOT wait until HONY is back on. These Atlanta women are really showing their lack of a whole lot of things. They are losing me as a fan. The "fame" is really going to their heads. And JILL? Sleeping together, honey, does NOT make one promiscuous!! LOL What a Jewish Mother you are! HURRY BACK NY LADIES. .

Hi Jill,

I am so ready for the Housewives of New York to premier again. You girls are wonderful..

Jill:

Just wanted to let you know that you standing WITH your daughter and her ailment inspired me to begin my own foundation for my son's disability (for lack of a better word)

He has Asperger's Syndrome which is high functioning autism. He falls in that gap where there are no programs for kids after school that are appropriate. These kids need interaction. They "appear" like the other kids, but they just do not know to interact in mainstream ways where young kids will understand.

SoOO...I started a foundation to raise money and awareness for afterschool programs in my area.

Thank you for the inspiration...I am not as well to do as you are..but we share a few things in common...the heart to lvoe it..the soul to believe in it and the mind to accomplish it.

DOn;t steal that people..it's copyrighted! HAHAHA!!!

MWAH!

Jill, when is New York coming back,I've missed you guys.How is everyone? You are one of favorite shows. Of course I like Atlanta too, when they finally come back to planet earth. I'm from the south and they are making us look pretty bad on some things. Don't get me wrong their still one of my favorites. Just need a reality check.....

The promiscuous comment was very underhanded.

Hey Jill

It's good seeing you watch the other Housewives.Hope all is well with your family.I love your mom, she seemed very authentic.Did Bethany get engaged?, I wish her well, tell her not to over analyze everything it's nerve wracking, & to watch her temper. Tell your gay boyfriend hello, oh yea did the show drop that crazy ditsy model wife? what a looser.Can't wait till the next season take care.

Love you Jill!

Hello Jill,Love it! Love it!Love it! Tell it the way you see it !Keep it going girrrrl!! Can't wait until YALL come back on!!

Jill,
Just "hearing" your accent thru your blog makes me miss you! When are ya'll back on??? I love that you have been asking everyone about their baby mamas...I can just picture it.

Keep enjoying that fabulous apt of yours! I am only watching RHW of Atl to pass the time until NY returns. BTW - did you see Ramona's hair? She should have left it long...

Emily

Jill I don't know how you forgot about ghetto acting teresa off
of "Real Housewives Of New Jersey" remember Kim getting attacked.I think all of you "housewives"
fromNew york,New Jersey,and California are pathetic,empty, and
sadly lacking character and living and conducting yourselves like
real ladies.Half of you people are not housewives and you keep
acting tha way you do,you never willbe.

Love u Jill, Great, CLassic, Funny, pretty, and most of all a lady. love your blog on Atlanta HW...they are crazy, but I love Nene though I know you do too...Miss your show can't wait for next season...

love ya in the "D" The Original Housewife of Detroit

jill, u have more sense than ANY housewife, no matter the city. totally agree with you about kim's hired help. why? i have a name for women who make their money off men, but its not polite to say so here..lol

Jill,
It's obvious that you are being very careful about what you say about the ATL team. You need to be more honest about how you really feel about what they are putting out this season.

I miss YOU Jill!! Can't wait for RHNY! And I totally agree with you, I think the Atlanta ladies are better dressed, have impecable make up on, but that's it. Sheree, which, in my opinion was the classy one, is now ready to fight and scream and yell any chance she's got! And Kim, please, she is so full of herself, and we really don't know anything about her, other than she is a super mom (in my opinion). I think Kandi is sweet, but is still lost between the others. It's clear they have nothing in commom. Lisa is starting to show me her evil side, I hate that all she can do is badmouth the others behind their backs. Nene is still funny, I love when she's with Dwight. Anyways, if these gals don't stop the "she said, she said" gossip, I'm gonna loose interest pretty soon. And BRAVO, all the "Lost Footage" drama it's getting old. Show the housewifes doing some work, charity, anything interesting. Thanks!! xoxo....
