Season 2
Season 1
First, I want to thank so many of you for the thoughtful letters and gifts you have sent me. I am humbled and grateful for all the love you have sent to Bobby, Allyson and me. I know the show has polarized so many fans and that I have come across as someone even I don't know. I hope over the next few episodes you will see my feelings come across, but nothing I write here could possibly explain what happened this season and why.
I don't think it was clear WHY I couldn't go with Ramona on her trip. Who wouldn't want to go on an all-expenses paid vacation on a yacht and home? It is one of the few perks we get being on the show! Allyson was preparing her final college essays that were due before Thanksgiving and I could not leave before they were finished. I told that to Ramona at the Four Seasons. I knew it was important to her and I wanted to be there.
I heard LuAnn's song for the first time in the Hamptons with Kelly. I loved it then and I love it now. It has a great beat and finally we can dance to something other than Bravo "house" music! Thank you for that LuAnn!
When I signed up to be on the show, it was called Manhattan Moms. It was supposed to be fun. Nothing I saw this week was fun nor has it been most of the season. The only "fun" or "funny" scenes for me were with my family. I didn't want to fight or make up on camera and didn't want negative energy around me. I still don't and won't. I was so disturbed and uncomfortable watching this week's episode. It is hard for me to watch myself anyway, but this season is so dark and mean-spirited that I don't feel connected to it at all. We filmed a lot of fun things but most of them ended up on the cutting room floor. There were a few fun or funny deleted scenes online (at bravotv.com) but they too were cut because they were considered "boring" or just don't fit into the story line. I tried to ham them up (like when I sharpened the knives in the kitchen while Princeton Review was at my house tutoring Ally for her ACT test!) but I guess if we aren't fighting, it just isn't good TV anymore.
Welcome Jill & Bobby,
Hope you are having fun in Australia it’s a great place to live!
These comments come from a happily, married housewife in Australia.
Jill you are the best housewife of all, on the TRHONYC Show!!
You seem to be very real and I only watch the show because of you!
Jill you are a beautiful person on the outside and on the inside.
Beauty does come from with-in, and you are so beautiful, please don’t let anyone ever take your confidence away, you are perfect.
Bobby is such a fantastic, loyal husband and your daughter is beautiful!!
Have Fun Jill & Bobby, and please come back again we adore the both of you!!
Jill, You need a personality make-over. Maybe Bravo will have that reality show. I think you will do anything to be on camera and have all of the attention.
You just don't get it. The reason Bethany has her own show is because although she is so truthfully honest, she has a loving heart and positive energy. I think you are so self- absorbed. I am not saying you cannot change.
You should learn from your mistakes as we all do and then decide to change for the better.
Jill, I love the show, and I think you are awesome, You do have your self together, not only are you beautiful,classy, I like your character. To see you with your chihuahua, I like it, we also have a chihuahua , we treat ours with the same love as you. Don't listen to anyone, you have a nice personality, taste, and on and on. the comment above on your personality, that person knows nothing. You are a decent mom ,wife ,friend etc:
Sorry I disagree with your actions. After repeated attempts by alex ramona and not least of all bethany, you kept the fight going till the public tide turned against you.
Dear Jill, I fell bad that you damaged your friendship with Bethany. I so enjoyed watching you guys last season. I think you guys still love each other. There are just too many hurt feelings right now. I really think you reacted so strongly to feeling abandoned by Bethany, during Bobby's crisis, because you were angry and scared about his condition. I think you couldn't express those feelings, so you transfered your anger to Bethany instead.
It's just sad the poor communication between friends was the cause of all the drama. I do think you let it go on too long. Bethany reached out to you several times and you refused to hear her out. I understand that people disappoint us, and I hope you guys move past this. I think you are a sincere and brave person to admit you were wrong in how you handled things. I think you had a right to feel hurt and let down. I hope you can mend the fence. Until then God bless you and your family. I'm so happy Bobby is ok. I really like your husband, he's always so wise and calm in the storm.
Daria...u hit it right on the NAIL!!!! I so agree with your post...you go girl!! ;)
Most of the world walks around emotionally underdeveloped. IMO you got sucked into beliving that you were/are a mean person. When they were the ones who are passive agressive and underdeveloped. Alex is the worst. She never gave a clue about her feeling hurt or annoyed about anything, until long after the fact she decided it was time to it all out, unfairly (the message from Bethany) and then she played a victim (on the island). She sucks.
But Jill, you need to stop acting as if Bethany is worthy of fighting for. She is an unkind person who has managed to convince a lot of emotionally underdeveloped people that she is a victim and interesting.
My desire for you would be that you be yourself, get your neat hubby more involved in the show and trust that you have a lot to offer. You do not need Bethany in order to be lovable or interesting. You have so much courage and I applaud you for showing your whole self to the world. You're my fav!
Leave her be how many times does Jill have to say that she is sorry and that she has learned her lesson.
Oh Jill, I can't believe you. I'm glad that the girls called you out on the reunion show. I agree with the statement that "you need to change" I think you are sneeky with the way you do and say things and then try to get out of it by lying or talking around it and say that someone else has lied.I was glad that you said you were wrong on some things but.... I didn't believe you. I just think your back was against the wall and you had no where to go. I hope you leave the show next season. Take Kelly with you, she is a nut. Sorry but I am a hugh fan of all the Housewife shows and you ruined this season of NY.
Dear Jill....you are my favorite housewife of New York! I have been very bothered by the turn of some of the others. I'm not judging, however, I felt that Alex showed absolutely "no class" and I'm putting it mildly, when she gave you Bethenny's message. Also, when she attacked you again and what she said. NO, she is the mean spirited, high school person, not you! Take care and don't let this or any other venom influence your life!
Jill, I think you are so calculated. Your crying spells just show that when you can't handle anything you start crying. Grow up!!! You were friends with Alex- grow up!!! You are just jealous because Alex and Bethenny are close!!!!
You are not being forgiven because you are clearly insincere in everything you say. You make nasty comments behind everyones back, you tell Bethany how much you want to be friends and try to sabatoge her new show. The only reason you want to make up is for your own self promotion
Jill - I am rooting for you and Bethenny. I think the show got in the way of your friendship and both of you should continue to look beyond this to try and find a way to bring that close friendship back. Its important enough.
Jill,
I believe you are a very strong and beautiful woman, inside and out. There is an old saying, "That what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Here's to a renewed strength for you and your family.
Bethenny has a history of abandonment and you hit her where it hurts the most!
You started it with Bethenny because you felt entitled - that Bethenny should have promoted you as a co-star, you maintained your behavior to punish her, and now that your allies are wackadoos and you've lost public trust, you want to make up.
You can be forgiven but you can't be trusted and what's a friendship without trust?
What would you do (or think) if it happened to you?
Jill, you deserve a great deal of credit for one particular thing. ALL of the housewives seem to have razor tongues which express themselves in the most inappropriate,bad timing,lack of thought way. You; however, are the ONLY housewife who fully took responsibility for your actions and SINCERELY apologized. The unbelievably immature reasons for 90% of the negative comments from all of the wives amazes me. Perhaps because you got some of your priorities straight when your husband had cancer, you came through a better person.
Bethany is very immature. I've felt sympathy for her many times, but she showed very little grace and class when she showed how unforgiving she can be. I'm happy for her success, but already it appears to have gone to her head. Simply saying that it hasn't doesn't make it so.
My dad died in 2006. It took a long time and it was very painful to watch. I learned then that materialism can be a comfort at times, but in the end, none of it matters. We come into this world with nothing and many of us like myself have very little all through our lives, and we leave this world with nothing. What matters is how we live our lives in relation to others. As we do to others, we do to GOD. When you are kind to a person, you are kind to GOD. If you are cruel to a person, you are also cruel to GOD. I need to do a lot better myself and I pray for GOD's guidance every day. You DID do the right thing with your sincere apology and your commitment to self improvement. Too many stones are cast on that show by those whose own house is not clean. GOD BLESS YOU.
Jill - I adore you on the show and sympathize with you for all the drama you've been forced to endure. Reconciling with Bethanny, et al., seems almost too much to be worth it, but you are gracious and fun and funny and you should not compromise those special things about yourself for the sake of complying with some stuck-up lunatics who wouldn't compromise their "values" for anything. Be yourself above all, because there are those of us out here who love you for you. All best your way. V
Jill,
How come you won't blog here? Why is your facebook down? You say you will only take comments on Jillzarin.com but all you do is delete my posts. Whats going on? Are you telling us that you are distancing yourself from Bravo?
You slayed Alex from day one, you owe her an apology, not the reverse. She was no match for your mouth but now she has changed, you cannot walk all over her anymore. Suddenly you don't like her? Repeating over and over "We're not friend" is a cop out. She is calling you out and you don't like it. Well good for her, she took enough of your digs, teases and insults. It's about time Alex showed some guts.
Why should Bethenny forgive you when you truly haven't changed? Those tears are because you made a huge mistake by putting out a book, while ruining your nice girl image with the public. The two do not make for good business. Those tears are not for Bethenny, they are for you. Tell it like it is.
Watching Jill interact with the other women on this show disgusts me. She is haughty and just down right mean and self righteous. This show would be better without her. It's clear that she plays up to people because she thinks it will gain her popularity to have a repaired relationship with them, like Bethenny. Jill is horrible to the people that she feels don't really matter, like Alex. It's all for show with Jill, I'm not buying it. Jill may even be worse that Kelly. It has perhaps come to Jill's attention that Alex has become very popular with the viewing audience so she is out to slay Alex the way she was out to slay Bethenny at the beginning of the season. Jill thinks everything is about her, she is even trying to dominate the reunion with all her fake tears, insincere apologies and made up stories about others and vitriol. Here's a clue the viewers actually want to hear form others on this show it isn't the Jill show thank goodness.
Jill stop apologizing to Bethany and all of them. They are not without fault yall all have said things that are not kind about each other. I understand what it is like to lose a great friendship but you have apologized to Bethany and she just isn't backing off her position. So let it go all this is doing is feeding her ego LET HER GO!
Blah, blah, blah Bravo. Everyone has seen how mean Jill was this season. And the only blogs you let get through are saying how much they love Jill. If she was in a room, I would get up and run far away so her toxicity doesn't get me.
Jill,
I really wish that you would make up with B and Alex. They both have valid points, and part of forgiveness means to be able to accept responsibility for your own actions. I'm not saying that they are 100% right, but if you were to learn from your mistakes and be the bigger person (and that means acknowledging them, and in the case of Alex, hearing her words for what they are...a plea to hash things out so that you can get over things) you truly would be the bigger person. If they are out of line, you should say it to them instead of talking behind their backs. They would respect you more in such cases, and you wouldn't look so backstabbing. Alex doesn't seem like a mean-spirited person, and I have to say that some of the things that came out of your mouth were enough to make me want to slap you, so she does have reason, even though it cam out harshly (which is exactly how your words came out throughout the season).
Hope you read this, but you probably won't! Oh well!
Hi Jill,
I just wanted to let you know how impressed i was in how you have carried yourself in the reunion episodes that is showing right now on Bravo. It took alot of guts to face up to what happened this season. Yes, you made mistakes - as everyone did on that show, one way or another. I have greater respect for you as a person now, than at the beginning of this season.
I hope you and Bethanny are able to work out your differences. It may not be the same, but each of you have evolved and grown this season.
Have faith sweety, you are going to be okay. Don't beat yourself up about the past. You have come out of this a stronger person and you have a tremendous amount of strength. Kudos to you and your family. :-)
Ps - forgiveness is forgiveness. You should forgive Alex. You are holding another grudge. You do not have to be best friends, but it might send a signal to Bethenny that you truly are a changed person.
Whatever the reason for your change - embarrassed by your actions, negative feedback, an epiphany - you seem to be sincere in your apology and truly sorry. I applaud you. It is very hard to examine yourself, take responsibility, and show remorse.
You should recommend that Kelly does the same. She never seems to see her part in any drama that surrounds her. She thinks everything she does is right. No one is ever right. I can see why she is divorced and not in a relationship. She is incapable of having a sincere interchange of feelings which is necessary for any kind of relationship. She better figure it out before her daughters start pushing back and becoming more independent.
Jill, I watched part two of the reunion. I don't need to see part three to see that out of every single one of those women, you were the most graceful and sincere. I must admit that I was totally anti-Jill until I saw the first reunion show, and then tonight the second. You're a remarkable woman whom I now admire. You taught us all a lesson. There are times we fall into crap, but there is also a way of coming out smelling like roses. You took responsibility for your actions, stood your ground, and did so better than LuAnn could possibly come close to as far as your level of class. I'm not team Bethany or Team Jill. I just wanted to thank you for teaching me that if you make a mistake, it's ok to admit it, apologize, and move on. Your level of sincerity was obvious. I could go on and on, but again, thank you for inspiring me to do some deep soul searching so I can hold a mirror up to myself before judging others. To wrap it up, you are an amazing woman Jill Z!
Jill, I think you are fabulous, but this was not your best season. Why do you want to hang out with all the goyim? You have a fabulous husband and daughter. And I am sure you have incredible friends who are MOT. Forget these people. They will only bring you down and not allow you to show your best side. Your mom and sister will give you the best advice. Listen to them.
You were OBVIOUSLY unpopular in school and feel the need to control your friends. Its very sad to see a mother who is less mature than her highschool daughter.
You were my favorite at one point but now I see your hatefull, vindictive nature...pathetic.
Jill, Jill, Jill,
We all go through change. I have watched you over the past three years. You have always been my favorite by far. I know you have a good heart. It is just so easy some times to get caught up in the drama. Keep your chin up. You are a daughter of God. Just remember you don't have to travel in the wilderness for 40 years to finally get it. My love to you. Just a regular housewife in Idaho. Karolyn
Last year you were, 100% my favorite. This year your not only last, but below Kelly, for real. Could not insult you any more so bye. Jacalyn
PS You became so self centered, and still are.
Oh Jill, you are not the bad guy. I'm sorry but Bethanny has too many issues. Losing a friend is hard but this girl has had problem after problem since day one. You should hold your head up and be proud you are still sane after dealing with this MESS. Friends come and go. This girl has drained you and your family. You should be glad she has gone on with her life and you dont have to shed any more tears over her problems. I'm sorry they want to make you look like the bad guy but after watching the show for the last 3 seasons, I dont see where she's been a friend to you. What has she done for you. You have always been there for her. She has too many issues. This is a blessing to have that drama out of your life. Let it go.
You appeared to be quite excited for the chance to announce Bethany's message to Jill. Ironically, your behavior was more "high school" than anything you've accused Jill of. It seems that when you finally got your chance to hang with the "in" crowd, you were prepared to do just about anything to keep your place in the hierarchy, and helping to keep Bethany's former best friend out of the picture was a shrewd but transparent tactic. Although all of you on the show are shallow, materialistic, and pretentious, Bethany, Ramona and now you, have all been the most brash, rude and cruel as well. Hang on to your in crowd of mean-spirited loud mouths. It's only a matter of time before you're the target again like you were in the first season. You're desperate need for acceptance at the expense of thoughtful, decent, mature and compassionate human behavior is both obvious and ugly.
Hi Jill,
I, for one, think that you've been attacked much more than is warranted. No one seems to remember the reason for your anger in the first place, Bethany's snide remark that "you should get a hobby" when you simply wondered why she was too busy to stay in touch. I'd have been hurt by that obnoxious statement as well. I never heard her even attempt to apologize for that mean quip to you. Why don't the others acknowledge that when a wrong is left unresolved it's difficult to just forget about. One needs to know that the hurtful party understands the hurt they caused. I sent a message to Alex telling her how "high school" she was being when she cruelly dispatched her message from Bethany. She obviously wanted to cement her inclusion in the in crowd. She's the most transparent, cold pathetic one in the group.

I love you Jill and have learnt so much from you. I just hope you and Bethanny have learnt from your mistakes. Life is too short for you to wait on Bethanny's forgiveness. There are bigger and better friends around you, all you need do is look and you will see them. XO!!!
Sylvia Ike
I'm Right There With You...
We must be related. I totally get you and where you're coming from and don't believe that everything is your fault. Bethenny took the opportunity to ride your coat tails until she got her own. Your sensitivity and emotional self surfaced and it made you very vulnerable. You like to be needed and that's ok. Sometimes one needs to keep score to prevent being taken advantage of, which people will do if you give them an inch (they run that mile). It's human nature. It's true that if you give people enough rope, they will eventually hang themselves. So, you may not be able to control everything but just know that the universe takes care of it (karma). ALEX IS A WEIRDO...
You are fantastic Jill, I feel that at times you are not in the right but THE MAJORITY of the time, I feel that people were just being mean to you and I'm sorry. Keep you're head up and may I suggest getting a new group of friends, the ones that you've cried over and been insulted by are just not worth it!!!
I can not watch this show whenever Betheny is on the screen, she is so annoying and seems to have too many issues, why she has her own show I'll never know, Jill , you are one of the main reasons I watch Housewives and I feel you did not deserve the abuse she has gotten this year. Do not apologize anymore!
I have never taken the time to write to a show, but after watching 2 episodes of the finale, I am frankly disgusted. I like Jill. I haven't had a problem with anything she has done this season. I feel like she has been treat horribly by the mean 4 (as I call them). I laugh that Alex said Jill was a mean girl when she is the one that reminds me of every mean girl I knew in high school.
Hang in there, Jill. I enjoy watching you the most of the all the housewives, you are the most grounded and real in my opinion.
Jill,
I'm so fustrated with your behavior. You were my favorite. These days you are a walking contradiction. On the reunion show, part one, you called Alex a liar for exposing you for telling a few ladies not to film with Betheny. LuAnn came to the rescue and turned the subject away from you. Now, I just watched a clip where you admited it. So Alex was not the liar, you were. Again & again you twist the truth to get support until you realize you can't get the support; only then you apologize. This pattern is repeated over and over and over.
Love you *TEAM JILL* all the way baby! First Alex is ugly in and out I have had to fast forward almost all scenes containing her, YUCK!!! Who cares about Bethany your life would be better without having to look @her mug! Sonja is awesome in my opinion. I would run from the other housewives lol! Hang in there!
Much love from NY
Jill...I was so upset with you as the season progressed...I had a friend like Bethany was to you...I felt your pain...I just didnt like how you acted...good luck to you....
I love love love you!! Stay strong! I am so grateful that you have realized your wrongs and tried to right them. You are the reason I watch the show. I think you are an amazing person!! You are such a good role model! Don't let ANYONE bring you down EVER! You have such a great life and good family, anyone that hates on you is jealous. Alex is such a hater and is so willing to throw the jealousy card because she is in fact jealous of all the great things that are happening for you. She is a social ladder climber and she knows she could never amount to or come even close to your social stance. Shame on her and her hypocritical actions.
love you
xoxo!
Jill, I have been very critical of you all season. In your defense, however, I think this...Luann has used you. She has done all she can to ruin your friendship with Bethenny. Think back to when Bethenny was at Ramona's, and you and Bethenny were starting to break through, and the next thing we know, Luann is in the room telling you it's time to go. She is and was jealous of your friendship with Bethenny. I am sure if you sit down and reflect on all this, you will see the truth. I sincerely hope you and Bethenny work through this as I think you friendship was meant to last. P.S...you should also dump Kelly...same thing applies.
I am just watching the re-union show and am horrified at the abuse you are being subjected to.
These people are 'friends' - maybe a definition of friendship needs to be applied.
Not one of these women has either stood up for you or taken accountability for their own actions. So it's all good that 'stuff' is going on in their lives and that makes it all excusable - however 'stuff' going on in your life is irrelevant.
I have never before even considered writing on one of these things - but wow. That was hard to watch, I commend you for taking that abuse, however I do not think you acted any more/less badly than anyone else.
A good book to buy for everyone : Buddha in your mirror.
What you don't like about someone else is showing you what you don't like about yourself - wow. What good healing could be done looking at it like that.
Jill, good luck with all you do. And please as I read somewhere recently - Your soul is your most prized possession, do not take it where it will be trashed.
Take care, and have a great year.
You have nothing to repair with anyone but yourself. You have come down on yourself this year and it's reflected in the actions of those around you. Take time out for you and your family.
I think your great! I will keep it short and sweet. Please do not let negative fans get to you. You are a great person!
Jill.... WE LOVE YOU!!!!!! Please let that friendship go with Bethany... She is so damaged and so Cruel. You have been abused enough by these women.. It amazes me what hypocrites Alex, Ramona, and Bethany are.... They are 15 year olds trapped in 40 something bodies!!!! Move on... You will be all the better for it!!!!!
I love you Jill. YOU are a lady. You show such grace under all the garbage going on around you. Yes, you were stressed this season- my daughter was in her senior year as well and I get it. But honestly Alex needs a lesson in being a lady, being graceful, being sincere and I'm so tired of you being the target this season. I seriously do not get the anger and attacks. They seem completely out of proportion to the issues. Hang in there, you have your family that loves you, stay you.
