Alex

Thank you for an inside look at all that has transpired, it is an honest assessment of the facts".

Loved, loved the show and congratulations on the Glamour article, you are indeed the best dressed lady of all the housewives show.

You are a beautiful & wonderful friend, mama, & wife & You just get better & more fun~did I mention intelligent? Love to you & yours sweetie~can't wait for part three.

Alex...you (and Bethenny) continue to be the voices of sanity in a sea of nut-balls! Enjoy you and Simon so very much.

Alex,

It is always good to find your own voice and to be honest, on a show like this, you need it. However, I feel that now that you feel you have Ramona and Bethenny behind you, you think it's okay to keep verbally stabbing at Jill. In season's past, you have taken the high road and been a voice of reason. I hope you will look at yourself and see the old Alex is your true self.

Good luck to you and your family. Monica

Oh boy! You speak during the reunion show regarding your new found voice, yet you diminish Kelly's ability to discuss what she felt was bullying. Having spent years as an educator, I will tell you that Kelly was bullied somewhat on the island, but more so during the reunion show. Ramona and Bethenny just could not shut their yaps to allow her to speak - even with Andy intervening several times. While one can say Bethenny had just given birth and was obviously exhausted what was Ramona's excuse? Her reaction in part 2 was similar to her reaction in the first season when she walked out of ladies night when Simon came with you - it was rude. Does Kelly have issues - oh lord, yes. Does she need to get some help for those issues? Absolutely. BUT in her mind she was bullied and you know what, she sure was on the reunion show. She should have been allowed to speak; just as you have been allowed to speak out.

Alex, for the last few seasons you were not my fav cast member, but this season you ROCKED!! Keep being classy!

Alex,

Let me start by saying I really have always like you. However, you are being a little bit of a hypocrite this season. First, please don't act like you didn't easily forgive Ramona. She was absolutely horrible to you last season, much worse than Jill has ever been, and she did it with malicious intent and with out caring at all that she would hurt you. She publicly hated you and your family to the point where she did not want to enter the city you lived in. She invites you over to the yacht in the first episode and it was like that never happened. On to Jill. Yes, she was mean this season, but not to you AT alL. She, like all of the other wives, has been mean to you in the past, but this season she said one comment and then sincerely listened to you at Sachs and apologized. You then just got on the Bethenny train and acted like Jill had been horrible to you. It makes me so mad that you just get to say you didn't like your delivery of the 'message' and expect to be forgiven but Jill can't say she didn't like her delivery? And who cares what made her wake up, whether or not it was the country hating her or the 3 of you? She clearly realizes she messed up and you can still is feeling awful about herself. Be a human and see that and lay off. Stop kicking someone when they're down. She may have done mean things and gotten caught up, but she realizes it now and apologized. I am not surprised at all that she seems to only want to work it out with Ramona and Bethenny and not you because, when it comes down to it, she really didn't do anything THAT horrible to you. Let it go. Be a kind human and notice when someone has learned a lesson and lay off.

Alex... BRAVO to you! You have the insight and wisdom to stop and make the point about the reality of sex and one night stands and being safe. You took the medium of television and used it to its full potential. Here's a show about a bunch of broads, having fun, being mean, being happy and being jealous...real life... and brought it into a clear focus about life and protecting one's self and ones partners in sex. Well done! I have said it beofre... you are a talented beautiful woman with a strong sense of who you are, and how beautifully you accept and recognize people for who they are. This is why you are so beautifully happy! Love strong Alex!

You, Sonja and Ramona are why I watch. The way you seem to stay focused on the truth is admirable. Keep up the good work.

Alex, I know you saw the same show has everyone else did, but I saw Ramona, Bethany , and Alex shouting louder than Kelly and the other housewives.I am not of fan of Kelly but you must be real!! Bethany new show I don't care for but when you are at a dinner party it is not the time or place to say"baby or wedding shower" at another party. Are you doing it for air time? I liked you before but I don't know , you need to fight your on battles and stay out of other people's busy.

I was happy to hear you speak your mind. Who cares if everyone thinks you are trying to get more air time. You have been silent for a long time; I don't blame you for defending yourself. You looked great at the reunion! Good luck to you and your family.

I love you!

You are fantastic! Thanks for what you bring to the show and for being a voice of reason and truth.

I really like you this year Alex. Totally understand your problem with Jill. She was very snarky this season to everyone, but Luann an Kelamity. The four of you girls get along Great and are a lot of fun to watch. Congratulations on your book.

Since you all are so BIG on apologies, are you going to apologize to Jill for delivering that message and embarassing her like that in front of all those people? Even if you meant what you said, your delivery was disrespectful and crude. Or is this the way the new Alex treats people? To me it seems like if Bethenny warms up to Jill, then you will. If Bethenny doesn't, you won't either. Be your own person! At least in the earlier seasons you were.

You are fabulous!! I really think that you are the most "real" person on the show and you handle yourself so well and classy.

Alex, you are one of the best housewives on the show. You speak intelligently and more importantly, you no longer take bull from Jill. Jill does not like you because she can't stand the fact that you and Bethenny are friends. Real friends. I think you could be a real friend to anyone and certainly the most trustworthy. I am happy that you and Ramona are friends as well. Love her this season as well. You, Bethenny, and Ramona are really very good people. Enjoy your summer with the family and your TRUE friends. Best of luck.

I was not there but what I saw on my TV you all did BULLY Kelly. The first time you bullied her was on the boat. You all were having lunch and Kelly said I don't like to eat in my bathing suit and went to put on a beach coverup. No big deal. Romona acted like she said she was putting on a formal gown. You all made her feel like she was weird. You all also made her fell like the outsider and what is so upseting is you all seened to enjoy doing this. Than at lunch Romona started talking sh-- about Jill. Kelly said lets not do that. Which was the mature and right thing to do. She wanted to keep this trip and the conversations on a high note. You all are small and wanted to talk sh-- about Jill. She does not express her self well and is easy pickens and you all did pick on her. Which makes all of tou bullys. You all think very high of your self and hearing her say you were bullies must have hit a nerve.. Not the image you have of yourself.

Alex, I liked everything about you until you feel the need to get into Jill and Bethany's business. Where was that sweet girl from the past few seasons that I liked so much??? Even now you still feel the need to take jab's at Jill and some of the other's. Sometimes saying less is more!!

Alex, you are refreshing and fun to watch. Best wishes to you and your family. Can't wait to see more on you on Bethenny's show and next season! BRAVO!

I AGREE WITH YOU THIS SEASON. I HOPE TO SEE THE MORE FUN SIDE NEXT SEASON INSTEAD OF ALL THE DRAMA NEST SEASON.

I just wanted to tell you, you looked very beautiful on the reunion show. And I have to say the expressions on your face are priceless and probably reflected the feelings of a lot of your viewers to boot. Hope all goes well with your book. And love to you and your family!

First of all, I would like to know when all of the housewives became PERFECT!! The Jill bashing that went on was absolutely ridiculous. At least she was trying to make ammends and she stood there and took the hits from everyone. What housewife has not said something mean behind someones back or made a mistake. We ALL make mistakes. We are human. When is it okay to not forgive someone!?

Cheers to you and yours Alex, we all hope you don't have to deal with the crazy lady next season.

Alex, I think it's great that you, Ramona and Bethenny are proving to be woman to be proud of... You are 100% right about LuAnn...She gets her own digs in and then when it happens to her she stands there and demands an apology...Who does that?? lol

Kelly NEEDS TO GO......

Alex,

Your superheroine name should be Rational Girl - you're the one whose comments and observations make sense and come from a calm place (that is, when you are given the chance to speak!)

I loved that you comforted Ramona by holding her hand when she was so agitated over Kelly's absurd allegations - it's nice to see that the two of you have reached a peaceful place together.

I completely agree with your assertion that Jill's remorse comes mostly from concern about audience reaction to her behavior, and not genuine regret of the behavior itself. I do think that she's truly sorry to have lost her friendship with Bethenny but all of us have to face the consequences of our actions, and she's no exception.

Alex, you are my new hero! You have a set on you girl and not a moment too soon. Hats off to you. I think you're the most courageous of all the girls, because you honestly try not to hurt anyone and because it's very difficult for you to say hurtful, but honest things. Yet you do so with integrity, character, and style.

You are obviously extremely intelligent, with a great sense of family, self, and humor.

You had me watching certain episodes over and over again and I actually was cheering out loud for you!

I love the new Alex and wish you and yours only the best.

Alex, YOU ARE FABULOUS, AND GETTING MORE FABULOUS BY THE MOMENT. You tell it as it is, no pretense, no bull_____, just the unadulterated truth. The best thing that could have happened to you this entire season was your amputation of Jill in your life. She's gangrenous! Take care, Susan

Sometimes you need to see your own behavior to realzie you need to change. Maybe that's something you should look at, based on your approach this season with Jill. You are so judgemental, but really, look in the mirror. You have come to pick at all the "mean" girls on the show and in your blogs, as though youa re justified in slamming each and every one of those "mean" girls. You are a mean girl, face it,,,hope you feel proud of your behavior.

Alex, I could tell in season 1 that you were no pushover. Just because you picked your battles didn't mean that you were oblivious to the mean spirits of your castmates. Your maturity and wisdom carried you thru to now beautifully. I am so happy to see you more assertive with your feelings now. All these idiots who say you are a "mean" girl are just that, idiots! You've been way more accurate on what's going on than inaccurate and that says volumns. Don't waste any time or energy on Jill. You can dish out her phony kiss kiss and let her go on her way... she's not going to change. She has her Bobby and really doesn't NEED anything else (ya know what I mean?) The more money, the better, for her. Most NORMAL people don't operate that way. Most people value true friends. Like you.

Just one point about Jill... It probably took her WATCHING herself (not necessarily fan reaction) that made her want to change. I agree, she behaved badly... but she's apologized for it, and you ladies should move on. Each of you (some more than others!) have said or done something inappropriate and mean... If Jill says she wants to change - then hope for the best, and see what she does. It amazes me how you all always think the worst of each other...

Love you Alex and Simon and your cute little munchkins. I felt sorry for you and everyone else on that trip it was supposed to celebrate Ramonas happiness, instead you all were terriozed by Kelly. She seriously needs help.

Alex - Kelly is hopeless. She's not really dealing with reality. She's got some issues that need to be attended to. Jill is out for Jill. I could understand her being envious of Bethenny, but she took it to the extreme and used her husband's illness as an excuse. Not cool. You are refreshing, Ramona has turned over a new leaf, Sonja is fun and Bethenny is gone but thank god for her new show. I wish Kelly and Jill would leave. They are debbie downers.

Something Dina said last night on RHNJ reminded me of you. She said something to the effect of "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness." I think you (and your family) have taken a lot of hits from the other ladies, and it was refreshing to see you basically "grow a pair" and stand up to Jill and LuAnn.

On LuAnn, I agree with what you said, but I don't think she comes across as smooth as she thinks (e.g., her nervous laugh). She says things that are frequenlty meant to be condescending, which I think comes from her desire to fit in to certain social circles (i.e., if she looks down her nose at someone else, she appears to have higher standards, etc.). I wouldn't care if she decided not to do the show, honestly.

I hope you will show more of your professional life on the show. I think by showing more of you managing your career and juggling a family, it might inspire some women who are facing those same issues.

CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT SEASON!!! : )

Thanks for another great blog....will really miss them.....you are the guidance counselor of NYHW.....and I'll miss the therapy sessions. ;-) I love talking about human nature......we women continue to be so so complicated.

Interesting background in this particular writing.....you always give great background but this one explains a lot in regards to Jill.

Alex, I believe every word you say. You are a woman who tells it likes it is, in a calmer way than Bethenny, not that there's anything wrong with B's demeanor as I am a big fan of hers.....yours comes across more credible due to your delivery, and you always tell the truth....clearly.

Ramona tells the truth....eventually......bless her. What I mean is, I think it takes a smidgen longer for Ramona to see the whole picture whereas you and Bethenny are extremely quick to pick up on all.

Jill......after reading your writing above....you confirmed Jill is out for Jill's sake and Everything she condemned Bethenny and you for are things she is guilty and believes others are the same.....she hasn't figured out......no, they aren't! Every time she said, "And so do we all!" I wanted to come through the tv....but, you, quicker to the draw these days in your lovely 'teacher voice' came back with.....and I LOVED it....."Actually, we all don't." I paraphrased.....but close enough.

Alex McCord! Are you moving to DC...?!! :)

Alex, I'm so happy you found your voice because it seems everytime you attempted to talk during the season, someone would interrupt you and that must've been frustrating. Kelly is so crazy I don't even know where to begin. The worse thing about this entire discussion, she will never be held accountable to disrupting, instigating, and for causing such disorder on that trip. The more she screams 'bullying' those accusations will need to be addressed but no one is actually make HER accountable for her actions. She is crazy. Anyway, thanks for an interesting season, I wish you all the best. BTW, Jill is liar, she makes me sick and I don’t blame Bethanny if she doesn’t want to be her friend anymore, who would.

Salina, Washington, DC

Glad you found your voice this season. Funny how Jill kept apologizing to Bethanny but we could see the anger on Jill's face every time you spoke to her. I think somehow she thinks you are beneath her. She's wrong. You just called her on her actions. I don't know what Kelly's issues are, but it is painful to watch.

Alex,

I think you are truly a class act. You are sincere, classy, eloquent and innately lit with grace. I thought you handled yourself in an exemplary manner all season as well as on the reunion. You've stayed true to who you are and I'm glad you found your voice. I don't ever want to see you taking any of the garbage some of these ladies throw at you. You are amazing and stay that way. Love, love, love you.

Alex you rock! Im so glad to see Silex on Bethenny's show. I think you hit the nail on the head. Jill is worried about her image. She's not pulling the wool over this viewers eyes. I better not say too much. There might be another amazon type incident. HaHa! Enjoy those two adorable boys!

Alex,

You hanled yourself so well on the reunion. You did not let anyone intimidate you. I am so glad the public is getting to hear the truth about the Island trip. It is just amazing that Kelly is trying to spin this to her benefit. Loved watching you this season and look foward to seeing you blossom even more next season.

Alex I think you and Simon are funny and warm and your children are adorable. I am furious at Kelly - how dare she use the bully platform to spin her pr. My son was bullied at 8 and his arm was broken and his bones had to reset by having surgery. She was the one who started all the fights, calling people names is a form of bullying - hoebag, channeling the devil, also in the tabloids she stated she couldnt have any coffee and during the scene with R she said all she was having was her coffee!!! what a liar. I am so upset about her PSA message - I believe that the producers of Bravo should demand that she make a public apology to all the parents and children who actually have been bullied. You are the only one on show that I will watch. Truthfully I dont want to watch any longer. I dont want to help support someone that is such a hypocrite. I would stay as far away from her as possible. Take care and all the best for you and your wonderful family.

Thank you Alex for confirming what your viewers know and saw....we are not stupid...Jill and Kelly must think that they are living in a bubble and that the people watching the show are clueless....they should just own their behavior and stop the blame game.....

Alex:I love you, Simon and your boys. What struck me ,among many other things was this: Kelly was critical of Bethenny for playing the "VICTIM"; so what was she doing on the reunion show but playing the victim of systematic bullying! PLEASE!!! I think she has some huge problems;including low self esteem.It is a symptom of a narcisstic disorder;she feels bad so she starts insulting others.In an attempt to bring them down to the her level;but of course she holds herself in high esteem and thinks "she is different" and "above others". That girl has ISSUES. Good luck with your book;I'll have to get a copy!

I felt sorry for Kelly. When someone has a problem you do not yell at them and make fun of them like you all have done..

Alex,

Your blogs really do outline what the viewers saw in a very calm, rationale, and fair manner. You truly have become one of the most likeable reality stars in my opinion. Everything you've said is spot on and its just amazing to me that anyone who has watched the footage throughout the season can think differently much less someone who was there.

Your ability to diffuse extremely uncomfortable situations is truly remarkable and shows who you really are as a person. I literally cried when they showed Bethanny tearfully thanking you and Ramona for being there for her because you could tell that it was completely heartfelt and she was truly grateful to you both for being such good friends. I'd be very interested to hear what you have to say about all the crazy drama going on the New Jersey show right now though - please start blogging on them again unless you've started to receive death threats from Danielle's "protection"....then its understandable why you stopped.

Best of luck with the book and have a great summer!!

Alex, you're the best! I have really come to see you in a different light, and I like what I see. Bethenny,you and Ramona have made this a great season.

There is nothing sincere in Jill Zarin except a dollar sign. Continue to speak out, and never let anything silence you again!

I like the old Alex much more. This is one seems bitter and seeks drama.
