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 thought she was going to" teach" Bethenny a lesson? Are you kidding?

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.

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!

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.

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

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!
