Moving On

Jill discusses Ally's college days and the mean tweets.

Jul 8, 2011

Hi everyone!

As you read this I am in London with our friends Robbie and Ayda Williams for his European tour with Take That. We are going to two sold out concerts this weekend at Wembley Stadium. We have a weekend planned with horseback riding, spa treatments, and lots of great food. I will post photos in my next newsletter which you can sign up for at jillzarin.com.

This week's episode was fun me to watch. Allyson is in college and I miss her terribly. She decided to transfer this fall and will be attending school in the south. It will be fun to visit her there. We are so proud of her. She continues to follow her passion and just returned from working with children in Africa. Allyson is an incredible person, and I love her more and more everyday.

I want to end all of this bickering about mean tweets. Bobby and I both talked to Simon about our relationship and hope we can finally move to a more positive place. I decided to not publish or talk anymore about the hate and move on to more positive and interesting things that we are all doing. Honestly? It is so juvenile.

Have a great weekend and see you next week!

Good for you, Jill! I just read all the other ladies' blogs and you're the only one who didn't resort to cattiness, (granted, I can't remember what Ramona said for sure in hers b/c I couldn't care less:) This makes me respect you all the more.

I am so glad you finally talked to Simon!! Imagine how much easier this would have been if you had accepted his invitation to discuss this earlier! Glad you are learning... :)

Jill, why bother with these women? They aren't your friends. They only want to create drama. You don't need this type of person in your life - cut Alex, Sonja and Ramona out of your world and spend time enjoying your true friends. As for Simon - he's just weird. Ignore him.

Bravo for your appearance on White Collar!!! Loved you girl! Jill you are one of my faves and I love your success outside of the show, something I think Alex and Simon are jealous of. You are moving so far past them I wouldn't let their names fall out of your mouth. Say hi and move on. They only set themselves up in opposition to you to gain some kind of relevance on the show. Ignoring them and their attacks robs them of the spotlight and they can rail on without anyone listening.

Jill Good to hear about being positive. Question... did you not think that your comments about Sonja's previous Masquerade Ball and Burlesque party as negative? I personally thought you were taking shots at Sonja. Perhaps this is how this negative stuff gets started.

Alley has grown up to be such a lovely young lady and I could see why you are so proud of her.

Loved this weeks show. Allison is an awesome daughter. I thought the scenes with her were very touching. You have an exceptional daughter. Be proud.

Kimberley

As usual, you are taking the high road. Your sincerity makes Alex and Simon look small and petty in comparison. I really wish Andy would kick them off the show, so you would not be forced to interact with them. It really says a lot about you that you have not stooped to their level. Let them hang out with low life bloggers while you live it up with your fabulous (and real) friends!

Jill! I love you and support you even though you get so many mean comments all the time!

I just have to know where you got your black winter puffy coat you wore in the episode on July 7??

Love you!

Jill,

This is the Jill we all know and love! It sounds like you have moved past all the nonsense, that's wonderful. Now if you can just keep away form Luann and all her negative influence you'll be doing great. Maybe even make up with Bethany!!

Blessings to you!!

Jill, Once again you come out on top and with class. You show what a true friend you are by just moving on past all the stupid BS that is SMAX (Simon and Alex) LOL! It is a shame when people have to create negativity just to keep them selves in the spotlight. You and your daughter seem to have a true mother-daughter relationship and that is awesome. Just keep on being yourself and all is great. Have a great week end.

Loved this episode and I admire you for taking the high road. I CAN be catty though, since I am not on the show :), so I have to point out that Alex rants on and on in her blog about you, even though she said she would not relay messages to Simon, or speak for him blah, blah, blah. Could it be that she got virtually no air time this week (THANK YOU BRAVO), so she has to use her blog to keep the conflict going? LOL

Personally speaking, I feel that your daughter and LuAnn's daughter are extremely well behaved, respectful young ladies. You and your daughter as well as LuAnn and her daughter seem to have a very functional, loving and respectful relationship. Cheers!

Hi Jill, I think if it wasn't for Alex, you and Bethony would have made up, without egging her on, by being the Messenger. She did the same thing with Romona, I don't no why she thinks Romona was the only one who should have someone stick up for her. You are my favorite of all of the HWNY. Your fan, Debbie

kudos to you! I love the blogs where you don't talk negative about anyone. Keep them up it makes me see that you have changed.

GO BRUNETTES !!!

i wish they would show more of you as we saw with Allyson. the train ride, the lunch and shopping. i loved those scenes. it was then ruined by your absolutely rude and "juvenile" remarks about Sonja with Cindy. it was a nice reminder of how i do not want to be, thank you.

Ally is a terrific young woman!

LOVED the footage of you and your daughter...those moments are PRICELESS and should never be taken for granted. She is lucky to have a mother that is so non-judgemental about her interests. College is such an enlightening experience, and I'm sure she enjoys sharing these special times with you! Happy to see you let go of the petty stuff too--don't waste your time on wierdos!

Jill,

You are an amazing mom and wife. Be quiet be nice and treat people the way you treat your family.

You have a lot of fans who adore you.

someone should remind simon he's not a housewife. His outfits are an attention seeking. whats he doing, looking for indorsments. he missed that train a while ago and didnt even have a ticket!!!!!

Your daughter is a breath of fresh air, and the love you two share shines through. Still on the fence about your "Big" change. Simon is a character with a big heart, glad you two talked, props for that and keep moving forward.

I think you are trying to make positive changes, but the same night you spoke about not being the person to be fake to someone by giving them a kiss hello and then tweeting mean things in the corner, you bashed Sonja's act while she was performing and then told her how amazing she was to her face. Isn't that kind of the same thing? Keep trying to make those changes, Jill. Proof is in the pudding though.

LuAnn was right . Alex & Simon keep crap going with you for TV time. Do we see them doing anything else? NO! Jill ive been a fan of yours from the beginning. You say and do less than whatthe others try to pIn on you. They just jump on you to get people to not look at them. And they know people are FINALLY seeing them for what they are and how awful yove been treated. Thank goodness! head high Jill you're the best!

Ally is so beautiful. She is really maturing and looks great. Glad your blog is so respectful. Without you, Alex would have had nothing to talk about!

Jill, I am so happy you decided it was ok to talk to Simon. I really dont get why you let Kelly talk you out of it to begin with. (weird) I really hope you stop being so catty and mean to alex and ramona.Maybe all of these negative changes come from your new found friendship with awful Luanne. You need to drop her. I mean, she is the reason you did not reconcile with Bethanny. Learn from the past, to be more productive in the future.

Jill - I am delighted that you are moving to positive. You've been wanting to do that for a while, it seems to me. Here's a tip on how to do that - don't make catty comments while a guest in someone's home. That's a great jumping off point....good luck!

Jill, you had me until telling a music producer how to arrange a song...I m not Jewish, so I have to say you have balls!!!

I think that if anyone writes about you in anyway, you should take it as a compliment rather than and attack. For perspective, my ex-fiance and my husband were good friends. They remained very good friends and were in a band together for years. I really detested my ex, because he was a cheater. I didn't hate my husband or think he wasn't my friend because he was friends with the ex. I find it important to have my own opinions and not control others opinions. I hope you forget all this, because it makes people see you as petty. Concentrate on your blessings, you daughter, your magnificent husband and Thank God for your wonderful life.

Jill your seriously the best housewife. you've changed a lot since last season so dont listen to any of the ladies (Ramona/Alex) if they say you havent. you and Bobby are so cute. you seem to balance eachother out really well. your so right about needing to stay positive. people dont seem to realize that we or someone we love could be gone tomorrow so theres no point in fighting or being negative. im only 22 and ive lost too many friends already. just live and have fun! and forget about everyone else that wont :)

Ally is such a beautiful young lady!!!

Hi Jill, first time I've EVER written anything. You have been my fave from day one!! I love your sense of humor. Your remarks with Cindy at Sonya's party were spot on!(and hysterical...who DOES that) After hearing you show your shapewear line to the ladies, and shopping with Ally, I think a great tagline for your line could be, "Everybody's gotta squeeze their fat ass" LOL

My youngest daughter ( I have four!) is the same age as Ally, and usually I don't find folks as fortunate as I to have such a lovely child. You, however, are as fortunate as I. You have done a great job on your girl and she is delightful!! I love watching you Jill. You are my absolute favorite of the housewives! Keep going strong!!

Thank you so much for re-storing my original opinion of you.

I take it that she's not attending Sarah Lawrence?

Oh you are so lucky to be spending time with our Robbie! Love him x I think you and Ramona are great, please try to stay strong friends. I know you are not daft so probably know what LuAnn is really like, be careful. Hope you stayed in touch with Bethenny, she was so a nice girl to know. Love your family, Bobby is lovely - a real gent. Enjoy the concert, its lovely to know you are over here right now! All the best

I find it hilarious that Alex and Ramona talk about you in their confessionals - and say far worse things about you than you do about them - but then call you two faced and catty. Good for the goose much?

Alex and Simon will never be at the same social level as the rest of the people on the show. The aggressive behavior they have taken this season is not very becoming of them..AT ALL! They are not the "Power Couple" that they think they are. You are a very classy lady and hopefully, they will learn from both you and your husband.

Jill I have always been in your corner even when I felt you were doing something soo wrong i.e.Bethanny. But then again I truly felt she used you to get where she is now - she is just too fake for my taste. Loved your blog and high road approach. I believe the haters of you and lovers of SMLEX, Ramona and Sonja need to see others showing bad behavior to make themselves feel better about how they treat others. Also BTW "you are looking marvolus" these days. Keep on keeping on girl!!!!

I read your book at Barnes and Nobles. I thought it was great. Honestly, don't even care about whether people think you've changed or not. Just be you! You've got your head on straight. Someone needs to put these b's in their places.

Jill, you were great on "White Collar", also enjoyed you and Ally this week!

Allyson is a beautiful young lady, I'd be shocked to know my kids were taking a sex class too. I mean their our babies & never grow up in our minds & hearts. Have a great trip

College is a place to expand your mind: sounds like Ally is embracing the concept. Be proud!

What College is Ally in now and what College is she transferring to? I live in Raleigh, NC and went to Salem College, a small girls school in Winston-Salem. Then I transferred to North Carolina State University. We welcome Ally to the South!! And you too, Jill. Love all your charity work. I also am loving all your different looks with your hair, make-up and outfits-you keep it interesting.... Great Style!

I really loved watching you and Allyson! She's seems like such an awesome girl! Did you almost die when she said "sex therapist"? You handled it way better than I would have. Glad the Simon tweet thing is over. You and Bobby are such a class act for handling it like you did. Have fun in England!

Jill, I think you are great! It pisses me off when people keep saying how you've "changed" or how you say you have and haven't...whatever. It's so stupid..You are doing great the way you are. As for your comments during Sonja's show, SO WHAT??? I don't know anyone who would have done differently, you are human! OMG!! Whoever these morons are, forget them. They are the hypocrites. As for Alex and that freak, Simon...UGH!! walk away. That goes for that Ramona too.

Jill, you sincerely seem to have turned over a new leaf. I'm so very proud of you and am enjoying watching the show. I wonder about some of your fellow cast-mates. Luann, the haughty (when it rains do you worry that she may drown with her nose so far up in the air?) Kelly, the ditzy (She is probably the strangest character that has ever "graced" Bravo's set...do you think she watches herself on the show and wonders "what the h*ll was I talking about?") Anyway, I just thought I'd give you a big ole ATTA-GIRL and wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors.

You used to be my favorite housewife, JIll, but I've been frustrated with you lately. I am happily surprised to see such a nice, respectful blog this week. I'm glad you made up with Simon and I hope all that nonsense is behind you. Keep up the good work!

you are my fav, dont change anything you r who u r. as for simon, I think he wants to be a housewife
