Brad and I have a very different relationship. We are a dysfunctional couple, but it works in the end. I love to torture him and he loves to ignore me. I think he is extremely talented, but needs someone like me to balance his creativity, be functional, on budget, on time and complete. That is why together we make a great team. We have many designers at Zarin and we make sure to match the client with the right person. I would not have done anything differently. On a side note, we also redecorated Bethenny's apartment this season with Nicole Facciuto. Nicole has a softer style and made Bethenny's apartment look like a SPA on a budget. Bethenny is so happy with it. I will post photos of Bethenny's apartment on my website jillzarin.com soon!
Kelly was out of line. Period. It is not hard for me to be impartial because I am honest. It was embarrassing to watch. Kelly thought she was going to" teach" Bethenny a lesson? Are you kidding? I don't know if Kelly really remembers what happened in the past and at the charity event. It was evident in the episode that she has a poor memory like I do. If Bethenny says I said it, then I did. She can remember what I said 18 months ago, where and when, verbatim. Period. Never go up again her memory. I was horrified at how Kelly tried to humiliate Bethenny. I say tried, because she obviously didn't. I have to say I was impressed with how Bethenny handled herself. WOW. I know she was not expecting to be attacked like that, especially after being made to wait 30 minutes, which must have seemed like an eternity. At least apologize for being late since you called the meeting?
Jill, you are MY Real Housewife! The reunion was a tremendous event and thank you for keeping it classy.
That said: Please get KELLY off the show. She adds nothing...she's literally (I'm sorry) a NUT JOB. I'm sure out of all of NYC, Bravo can find a deserving replacement...perhaps another royal?
Jill,
I think you may be a nice person. Your husband seems nice and your daughter is sweet. That says a lot. However, you are really becoming full of yourself. Please, realize where you are in the world.
Also, watch the reunion. Bethenny acted like a total ass. She viciously either attacks or rolls her eyes at Kelly. She's loud and self-promoting. Fine. That's how rude she is. That you keep sticking up for her is sad and not good.
I truly believe that you and Bethenny are posting all of these glowing comments. Everyone I know thinks you both need to step down a bit.
Jill,i think Mario has a huge crush on you.....but he's a jerk,and i think you do know that.
Rhonda.
1 - You and Bethenny are THE reason I watch the show.
2 - Kelly is a self-absorbed wannabe with a selective Swiss cheese memory (lying doesn't make it true, Kelly).
3 - I really wouldn't get too upset with Mario about anything. He tries to act like a big shot because he suffers from penis envy.
Jill, Not that I have anything against Gays, I'm one myself, but Mario acted like a mad old Queen the way he pestered you. You handled the situation quite well. He's an Ass and he made a total fool out of himself! My Faves on the show are you, Beth and and yes Alex. I don't know how she can tolerate Simon, but oh well. I hope that you and Bethanny remain friends, I've seen some footage and wonder and hope you don't have a parting of the ways. Don't let Kelamity stand between the two of you. She is a phony. Love Ya Jill!
Hola soy de PR y eres mi favorita. Eres inteligente, familiar, trabajadora y una gran amiga todo lo que una DAMA debe ser.
What kind of Glasses does Bobby wear ?
Hi JillZaren
You're real, honest, firm AND you have a heart.
I love Bobby!!! He is pure CLASS and the voice of reason!
The countess is too full of herself to 'help' anyone else.
Betheney is real. love her too.
Don't get me started on SILEX or KELLY!!! Simon is gay and dumb but Alez covers for him in all areas. Kelly is mean, ill-mannered and nasty.
Jill,
You are so fabulous and the only reason i watch the show is because of you and Bethenny.
You two are so straight up and down and Gurl, you look way better that you did the first year, you dropped a lot of weight and look very very good.
You go girl!!!
Bobby is a great guy and it is obvious he loves you very much but i must say, YOUR MOTHER IS MY VERY VERY FAVORITE PERSON I HAVE ENJOYED ON THE SHOW AND PRAY THAT SHE AND YOUR DAD ARE WELL
TELL HER THIS IRISH AND BLACK GIRL FROM NEWYORK THINKS MOM IS GANGSTA,
THAT IS A COMPLIMENT
CHRISTINE MARIE
Jill!
Mario was a total jerk to you. kudos to bobby for supporting you. you handled it very well. Mario was out of line in attacking you. i found it odd that a grown men had to attack you in that way; waving his hands, sweating and getting red in the face, and making fun of you. Mario, get a life!
love you Jill!
Jill I absolutely love you..and I love how you are with everyone you don't hold a grudge. I think you and Bethenney are the best.If you 2 ever leave we are all done watching.
As for mario he is a jerk...a new housewife we didn't want.he is tryingto usurp Simon, but Simon has way more class. Ramona and Mario belong together 2 vultures waiting to peck away at ayone they can.
As for Kelly bravo for you for defending Bethenney. Kelly is odd...just plain odd. She is rude, and a big ego.Why?? Go figure.She needs to go...out
Our group loves your mom, we want her to adopt us.Your daughter and husband are wonderful.
But such a wonderful person deserves so many great things. Stay you Jill, we all love you
Jill, the next time your husband buys a Mercedes SUV and you don't like it, please have him deliver it to my house. I am not sure if you are putting on a act while the show is being taped or you are truly this way. Where I live there are many more important things, such as food, jobs, and just surviving 1 day at a time. When I watch you on tv, I am so very thankful for all I have-my "66" Chevy Nova SS is way more cooler than your Mercedes by a long shot
Jill,
You are fabulous, energetic, influential, workaholic, great mother/wife, and just down right AWESOME~! I love you and "Team B". You two together make the show. Ramona is so jealous it is not even funny. I am so over her wrinkled face which cream does not take her wrinkles out. I have a big screen. Tell her we at home can see them. Kelly..man she is Lamo..I want BRAVO to give you and "Team B" your own show. That would be great. You two are the only reason I watch the show..The other girls are wack but fun to laugh at. Just keep being you and I love you sooooo much.. I love your mom too..She was so nice to "Team B" and jewish women to talk ish...So i know she is a REAL Housewife just like her daughter..Loves ya...
Jill, You are the best. Mario made himself look like a complete ass, how obnoxious! Now I understand, I thought he was just married to a pathological narcissist, turns out he is one himself! You have class and always come across like a lady, good for you. Never sink to the level of people like Ramona and Mario. BTW, your daughter is turning into a beautiful and classy young lady herself, good job and mazel tov!
Hey Jill!! You are my favorite!!! I am SOOO HAPPY that you FINALLY called Kelly out on her crazy behavior toward bethenny!!!! FINALLY!!! Kelly made me sooo mad because I love bethenny she is so sweet!!! I was also impressed with how Bethenny handled herself!!! She was a class act and kelly made a complete fool of herself!! I've read her blog and she's still delusion about what happened!!!I cant'believe her! Anyway love you guys, except kelly of course and judging from the comments on her blog no one else likes her either.
Hi Jill, So glad you put Mario in his place. He was so rude and he is so full of himself. He is pompous and a legend in his own mind. I was appalled that he told you to hush. You are not his child.
Pls tell your dear mom that one of her fans wants to see her back on the show and I hope it will be on a regular basis. Also, can you pls clone your dear husband, or can he be hired to teach men how to treat a woman? It is so touching to see how he looks at you. Blessings to you all.
WE LOVE YOU JILL!! You are a straight shooter and so not phoney.
Bobby should have socked mario!
I still don't understand why Mario was being such a jerk about the tennis match. You had every right to pick your own partner.
BRAVO JILL! Who did make Mario BOSS?? Fair is fair! Why should he be the one to say who your partner is? I adore you and YOUR BOBBY! Ramona and Mario are just jealous because you and Bobby have class and a real marriage! I love seeing you two togather!! You have ALWAYS been my fav! Never Change!! Just be you! LOVE ya!!
GO MARIO.his BIG FAN.. Jill you need to get a clue. Love your husband. Very cool and nice man.
Jill you rule. Your warm smile and kind eyes make you the favorite housewife out of all of the shows combined. You have been raised in a great home and your mom should be so proud of you and your sister. You are the connector because you truly care for others. Don't ever stoop to Ramona's level. You don't need to dignify any of her comments with a single word. You've given her so many chances and she's a social zero. You and Bobby have a precious relationship and your are just adorable. Ramona is a complete grossout. She looks like a mad woman with those wild eyes. I'm afraid she has some deep seated psychosis which will send her over the edge someday. I wish they would replace her because she's so creepy that it doesn't even make for good TV.
Hi, Jill--Before I state my point, let me say I enjoy watching you every week and believe you seem to be the more stable of the New York Housewives cast. That being said, I was disappointed, however, with your overall attitude during these week's episode re: the tennis match. Why, WHY was it so damned important to you to beat Ramona instead of enjoying the match, which was what the initial intention of the invitation to play conveyed. Your attitude started long before the actual match and, although I enjoy watching you in general, I felt your behavior was immature and almost catty. Leave that kind of drama to Kelly! :)
Jill, Loved the Tennis Match! I saw a reaction on Ramona's face, it started twitching. Her face starts twitching when she really uncomfortable with a situation. You played excellently!
And What A Sport Simon was - to practice and play with you when we was sick! Also, to put himself out there to take cricicism for how he played?! You have a true friend there. I hope you recognize that and appreicate it - I believe you are the type of person who will.
Girl - where is your new blog ?? :(
So I love that you are so honest, biting and funny on the show and know who you are. You don't come on the commentary segments and claim to be something you're not. Although most think that Beth is the funny one, I think some of your commentary is hilarious.
Funniest line of the show this season: Jill, "Kick his as* Mario, Kick. His. As*." Your facial inflections were so funny! Awesome T.V.
One commment I didn't get though "I never met an Australian that couldn't play tennis." Hmmmm?????
Anyway, great work on the show. You are watch-worthy!
Jill, you need your own show. I would love to see you as a talk show host. You just bring out the best and the worst in people, and so fun to watch. Bethenny can be your permanent guest host. What a great idea, don't you think.
You and Bethenney are my favorites You both say it like it is and dont hold back...Keep up the good work .Simon and Mario should hang out together ..they are soooooo annoying sometimes even to watch..Does Ramona have a thyroid problem..If her eyes bulge out anymore they will pop out of the socket...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jill
I thought Bethenney handled herself great as well. She is a classy girl. Kelly is a selfish, self-absorbed person. I hope she isn't on the show next year.
Jill
I just love you!! You are a true person, you don;t seem to be fake at all and I love that!! You go girl, I can't stand Ramona!!
Hi Jill, you handled the situation with Mario only as a true lady could have. I don't know how he was raised, but where I come from a MAN should never talk to a woman that way! He was clearly out of line, and I'm not sure I wouldn't have knocked him out! Although my up bringing taught me to "hold my tongue" so to speak, I'm not sure that this would have been possible, but you did very well, and I'm proud of you because he looked like a complete a**. Love you for being true to who you are, Team Jill & Bethanny all the way!!!
Jill,
You look great have you lost weight? What's your secret?
I love to watch you and Bethanney you guys make me laugh.
Jill, You are one of my fav's. And I love you mom in the past episodes BTW. You are so fortunate to have her. She is a jewel. Anyway....who know's if you'll read this or not, but I've watched the remodel episode and I love it.....but I have to ask....all your things seemed to be changed. Do you have anything that is sentimental? I've just re-done my downstairs and find it hard to not to put back all the same items because this person, or that person gave it to me as a gift. After watching you throughout the show, I just can't believe you don't have those connections to certain items.
Jill, you are so funny! I can see why you and Bethanny are partners in crime. Mario and Ramona are a bunch of drama queens...I can't seem to understand them. I think it's very clear that they've proved to be an annoying couple. Mario has hit Ramona too much in the head with those tennis balls because she's really out there. I'd have a better time with you and Bethanny. Anyway, love the show, love the gay husband, love the dog, love the family and I pray for your baby girl to get better and stronger everyday. You're a wonderful mother, wife and friend. Take care and stay strong.
Jill..first of all..you're my fav NYC housewife. Your vibe that comes across is genuine. I despise the way Mario talked to you, but you handled him. Bravo! With that being said...I get so frustrated watching Brad bulldoze you with his tastes in clothing, decorating, etc. That apt makeover is not good. It doesn't appear to fit you and your persona. It's soooooo over the top flamer. I also want you to know that the tennis match with Simon was thus far the highlight of this season. Watching Ramona struggle to keep her composure was priceless. Loved it!
Happy Passover to you and yours, Jill !
Jill.......come and be my BFF. You are hilarious! OMG...girl...come to Louisiana and let us treat you like a southern belle. I have a dear friend that you remind me of. She loves to dress up and be glorious. I'm the earthy granola friend and we love each other. So opposite but so the same. And, btw, I agree about Kelly. Poor Lamb...she is quite the lost one.
Jill,
You have always been my favorite and I enjoy watching you every week.
Dear Jill,
In addition to raising your daughter and helping run a business and charities, Mario also forgot your main job: BEING THE FABULOUS JILL ZARIN, which is no easy task. I adore your whole family. I am sick of these childish, weird men trying to steal the housewives' thunder. What gives, Bravo?? I mean, the spa scene with Simon? I winced more during that scene than I would watching a horror movie. And Mario whining about tennis?? These guys are not even cool. However, I would love to see a spin-off with Ali, and the rest of the Housewives' kids! Love ya JIll!!!
JILL, YOU ARE BY FAR MY FAVORITE HOUSEWIFE! YOU HAVE SO MUCH CLASS, SO MUCH MORE THAN RAMONA!!!! YOUR HUSBAND IS AWESOME.....ALWAYS COOL CALM AND COLLECTIVE AND YOUR DAUGHTER IS JUST AS CLASSY! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!
Jill, you are an absolute delight!!! You have the balance of "don't mess with me, and I'm every woman"! It is a pleasure to watch you be you...
Jill, I've got a good idea for you of a way to raise funds for the many charities that you are involved with. Do you have an e-mail address that I can reach you at?
Thank-you.
Hi Jill, i just wanted to stop by and say Hi! You and Bethany are my two favorites! Oh, and if you want a cute new italian gay boyfriend, let me know! Me you and Bethany can be the three musketeers!! LOL! Love Ya

Jill - You epitomize (in a GREAT way)what I think of as a New York Jewish girl. Believe me, I'm asked all the time if I am Jewish from NY. I reply, "No, Catholic from Boston - same thing"!
It is obvious that Bobby adores you. I love how he simply lets you be 'Jill'. He has such quiet strength and, although he is never acknowledged, I believe him to be a dedicated, hard-working man. Mazel Tov!
And your Mom! Oy vey - I adore her. You and Lisa are a reflection of her influence. She's a jewel.
Enuff of the back-biting - you're above it. Take the high road and you'll always get to your destination.
Jill you are SOOOOO my favorite!!! I love the way you react to things. You're so classy and beautiful. I think you're whole family is fabulous!!!
Jill:
I love, love, LOVE watching you on the show! And you should know how FABULOUS you are! Amazing!
Jill,
You and Bethenny are the best! Loved the episode when Bethenny imitated you. Hilarious. Mario is in love w/himself. If you had to play Ramona in singles, you would wipe the court with her. Hard to tell from your match but I would say that Ramona relied on Mario. She had no fundamental groundstrokes. Hey if you ever need a partner I'm available and only a couple of hours away. I hope everything works out well with Ally. (I know the condition through a relative)Loved your personal designer, he's funny. Sorry, but your apartment redesign looks like Brad wants to live there. Listen to Bethenny, she hit the nail on head. By the way, next time you pick a tennis partner, scope them out. Simon was about the worst I've seen and it didn't occur to him that he needed his glasses halfway through the match.
Team Jill
Jill you are so nice. I love your home. Romana on the other hand needs to be mor nice and not boring. Jill never change.
Jill, you keep me watching the show. You don't sugar-coat, but you are neither mean nor condescending. It is what it is, period. You are wealthy, yet not pretentious. Enjoy your blessings in good health! I also like Bethenny --- no wonder you two are good friends!
Jill, you are the best!! I feel so connected with you and Bethenny because you are both real people that even with the money you have, you act normal. Nothing like the LuAnn and Ramona. LuAnn is always stuck in her title that no one cares about and Ramona just has no class. I can't stand Mario, he is such a jurk. I can't believe the weaqy he talked to Ramona on the court during the game, if my husband ever treats me like that I would put him on his place right away, that is no way to treat anyone. Is he really a famous tennis player? Because I have been involved in tennins since I was 4 and I know all the prosduring the past 30 years and I never heard of him before. Ramona is like we say in spanish: aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda. The same goes for Mario.
