Alex McCord

Small Town New York

Alex discusses the premiere episode, running into Jill, and dispenses advice on how to leave a party.

Apr 7, 2011

Kelly and Jill got together and decided that I wanted to be acknowledged –- didn't it sound like they are talking about a child wanting attention from an authority figure? Such interesting spin. I tend to think that aggressive sharers give what they hope to get in return, regardless of whether their target actually wants anything. I am very happy to make my own friends!

Hey now, there are no violins when we switch over to Brooklyn! Certainly we don't need any in our messy office, with cords going everywhere because the wireless wasn't working. I am beyond delighted to have signed with New York Model Management, and am doubly excited to announce that I have an editorial out this week in The Block magazine, which you can find at newsstands or download. For this issue, a portion of all the proceeds benefits Japan. And YES, I'm thrilled to be working with Simon again. This is how we roll best!

It's time to meet Cindy -– love her intro scene with the babies and the spa. Meeting her in person at Peter Tunney's was a little strange. I had been to Peter's gallery a couple of times before, but completely separate from the ladies, and in fact it was the first time he and I had a conversation. We had a blast moonwalking in the paint, and my Cavallis were fine afterward. Did someone say champagne?

Ramona tortured a few potential assistants, LuAnn and the very sweet Jacques had fun with Brian and Sonja, and Sonja showed her vulnerability post-divorce.

I started liking you last season, but you really need to let last season shenanigans go. You're starting to look like the mean girl now.

Alex, You are a GREAT model...

LOVE YA!

LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU THANK GOD SOMEONE IS FINALLY PUTTING JILL IN HER PLACE.

I've always liked you Alex. In the past you may have been a little meek at times, but you are classy.

Right off the bat you can tell you are a different Alex this season. Before I always thought you took the high road. I get that you want to have a voice this season but it seems like instead of taking the high road you are ready to get down and dirty with some of the other ladies. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I'll have to watch and see!

Oh Man, watching those scenes where you confront Jill made me so uncomfortable! You should stand up for yourself but pick your battles. Its not worth it to go after someone for every little thing.

Alex needs to get over it with the Jill issue. Im glad she has found her voice but now it seems she has gone to the dark side. I feel its a double standard.

I have a feeling you may get some well a lot of heat this season. Some people may not get that your only now in Season 4 FINALLY standing up for yourself. You know what I say to that " Get it Girl". People are going to forget all the nasty hate filled words out of Jill's mouth through past seasons. I think it's about time you stand up to Jill. You and your family have been through more than enough abuse from jill's mouth from what us viewers see. I can't even believe you sat there and took as much abuse as you did and for this long. As the viewer we only see so much and I can't even begin to imagine what happened between the reunion show and the summer. If people wanna give you a ton of heat they need to remember all you have had to go through with Jill not only you personally but your family as well. If people do forget they can see it here on BRAVOTV.com lol. I don't for one second think Jill as learned anything from last season. Were one show in and can see the tiger didn't lose it's stripes. Can't wait to see the rest of the season. o0o0o boy o0o0 boy lol

Alex, I really love that you are more comfortable speaking up for you and your family. At times you come off as the "angry woman" and instead of holding Jill's feet to the fire it makes you look a little overbearing. This is not to say that you shouldn't tow the line with Jill. She went from my favortie to the woman I wait to see put her foot in her mouth- big time!

Be yourself. You look stunning this season. You're amazing!

Good seeing you and Ramona are good friends. ALways cool seeing Simon and Mario, too. You've changed and have found your voice, so no more hives for you. You've also gotten even MORE beautiful.... Jill hasn't changed at all. Same old same old from last season...(she's a bore).

Will watch for you and Ramona. Otherwise, I have no interest. Keep smiling Cobble Hill :)

Go Alex, I really enjoy watching you on the show, I for one understand your feelings and if other people don't they need to re-watch the past seasons. I think your pictures are just so bueatiful congrad's. Eat your heart out Kelly and Jill.

You need to let it go! In one part of the show you go on about how both your parents are good looking and you were blessed with such good looks, WOW..your whole attitude has changed. I dont like this confrontational you and Kelly is right about modeling being about being photogenic and you really are not. I dont know about your gene pool but you are not that good looking and now your nice attitude is gone...you have nothing left.

Love you! Glad you and Ramona are friends. There is no competion because you are both content with who you are. You both looked great at the wedding and appropriate! Keep being you!

I'm loving it! Good for you for speaking up and not backing down to Jill! Keep it up! I truly felt bad for you in seasons past. You and Ramona are my favorite. Apparently Jill still hasn't changed.

I LOVE you Alex..You called Jill on her S*** and that was great. She did not know what to say. You are really becoming my favorite on RHONY...

Alex.

At Ramona's party, everyone was having fun and enjoying the evening, You seemed upset that others were laughing with Jill. Do you really do not know Why Jill does not want to be at the same event as you? Maybe she is over being attacked in public.

Alex, you're the best. Hope you and Jill ae able to put your matter to rest, but I still wouldn't trust her. Deal with her for the show --that's what you're getting paid to do, I know--and ignore her in your real life.

Alex-You look great. Like a real woman. I hope your modeling jobs reflect that. Lighten up on the Jill thing. Listen, you know the score. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Alex, I did not like you when you were mousey and quiet. Last season I started to warm up to you and I'm glad to hear you are coming out more. Please let go of the Jill situation. She's not worthy of your upset. You are letting her exclude you and that's wrong. Smile. You put her in her place which was grand both as the messanger AND on the reunion show. Now let it go. You're only punishing herself. Remember, you can't control what Jill does or thinks, you can only control yourself. Don't let her get to you. We (the viewers) see Jill for what she is.

I love that you've found your voice and, contrary to what the Countless says, please don't "zip it".

I really like you, but I think you need to get over Jill! She will never be someone you want to best friends with so let it go. It's great to stand up for yourself, but don't be rude. Have fun! Enjoy your life!

In the first episode it seems that you just feel it is necessary to take opportunity you can to make Jill feel bad or question her motives. She was clearly trying to make nice in public and I don't think its any of your business why she was or wasn't going to make it back for the march. if another member of the committee were there would you have been as forward an disrespectful? doubtful. You really need to step back and stop involving yourself with Jill, even if she had asked others about your attendance. who cares?? she is allowed to be curious and why is it such a big deal?

Love you, Alex. You are fab! Just be sure to pick and choose your battles- sometimes it's not worth the drama and heart ache. Don't cast your pearls before swine.

Keep doin' your thing.

Alex - I like that you've come into your own. I think there are times to speak up for yourself and times that it's better to just ignore. I'm really hoping that the promising start for this season means that things will stay classy - and not get catty. Pleased to see yo doing well.

GO Alex!! So happy that RHONY is back and that you and Simon have returned :) I love, love, love that you are calling people out on their behavior. It was hilarious when you busted Jill while she was talking about you at the cocktail party. Maybe watching the show will convince her that gossiping doesn't make her "nice and kind". I can't wait to see what happens next. You can't hear me but I'm cheering for you!!

Alex, the first season, I had the idea that I didn't care much for you or Simon. Now, I can totally see I was wrong! You two are the "real" people of the whole gang! I especially have changed my opinon about Simon, and can see where he is a lot of fun, and supportive. Just want you to know you have a cheerleader out here and think you Both are Great!!

You look great this season. You come off s little angry when Jill is around, maybe thats just the editing?

Alex, you are the most grounded, sane and lovely of the bunch! I love Ramona too, but you are my fav. Good luck keeping the knives out of your back! They are really going to go after you now that you are modeling I think. I am so proud of you...you look AMAZING!!! Simon, you lucky man you...a wife so gorgeous and intelligent...a terrific mother and now a model in her 30's....AWESOME!

Rock it Alex....

This brunette is Team Blonde all the way!

I so agree with you Pipes

Alex, I love you and Ramona. But you seem to be on a mission to knock down Jill and it doesn't not look good for you. I like that you are speaking up but it looks like you are going out of your way to fight with her. Move on Jill looks like she is really trying to move on and be better. Just saying.

You and Ramona are GREAT!!! Love you guys and very happy you are now friends. Jill showed her true colors 2nd season and NO ONE will forget that!! I would have loved to watch, however, when I turned it to the show, Jill was saying how she will always be nice and kind. I about choked!!!

You and Ramona looked lovely! DONT let those fussy bossy bitches defind who you are. YOU got it right!! Love to you and best wishes.

You are beautiful inside and out. Remember to act like and convey that confidence we've seen. Take a stand but don't become too petty like Jill. I like that the real you is out in the open!!

Alex, I think you are wonderful! I am nervous for you because "The 3 Amigos" are triple thugs in cocktail dresses. Good luck to you.

Please don't get too big for your britches, Alex! Being mean is not you - stay classy and true to yourself. There will always be women like Jill - don't let her pull you down to her level! She is petty, jealous and so terribly insecure.

Best to you and SImon!

alex loved the chandelier earrings you wore at the wedding, where can we get them?

wow.....you got that right!

I agree that there were other people there in a form of "white". There is a clip where the camera pans back and you see two other people standing in the background wearing white...one in a floor-length gown.

Alex...I think that we are twins separated at birth. I mean I am just like you. I used to be once closed up, and then one day I just popped like fine wine. They either love you or hate you, but that won't make you or break you. Keep the truth and opinions coming!

You need to grow up and let last season go amd move on you are 36 year old but you are acting like a 6 year old.

Wow - what a rude and ignorant comment!! Perhaps you're just jealous of Alex and you're trying to make yourself feel better? Alex is beautiful inside and out, JILL IS NOT!!! I'm assuming you're a Jill fan since you like to bash like her! If she wasn't good enough, they wouldn't have signed her!!! Get a life and stop the hating!!

Alex, i think you are wonderful! The three amigos are looking more nervous this season. Bravo to you!

Alex, From reading your blog I now understand why you are still upset with Jill. Im happy that you now say what's on your mind and dont try to sugar coat it. You just have to remember that sometime somethings or someone is not worth your time and energy.

I really do like the new Alex, but you won't win with Jill. Just let it go and call it a day.

It is good to see how you have grown over the seasons. Just don't go too far. Those who always start the fights end up looking like clowns, and hopefully you will avoid that. You seem somewhat more "real" and in touch with what is going on in the world (outside your door and outside your city). Maybe they film you the only times you are gulping down alcohol, but that is probably not a good problem-solving strategy, especially since your children will probably eventually see these shows. Good luck with your new endeavors.

Alex, I can see that on many occasions you were off by yourself.... Has Jill been influencing the other ladies to isolate you? Sure looks like it!!

Wow....a little bitter arent we? Alex you are grand!!!!

What happened to my cool Alex? Although I'm happy to see you standing up for yourself, you are coming across as overbearing this episode. You really should have just let the whole wedding situation go. I think it is good you called Jill out, but there's no reason to harp on it. It just doesn't accomplish anything. And work on that pretty smile! Every time you were around Jill, your scowl is unbearable!!

The first thing I thought when you and Ramona walked out of the car to the wedding was "THEY ARE WEARING WHITE TO A WEDDING??" (or cream... whatever). I was actually happy Jill brought that up. I'm sorry, it doesn't matter the season. You both looked very pretty but wearing those colors to a wedding is really uncouth.

You are one of my faves. I just hope you don't become the "mean girl".

Alex,

Both you and Ramona are my favorite! Love you to pieces! You are not the only one who has Jill figured out. Ignore her as that will really piss her off the most!
