OMG! Jill Zarin Might Not Return To 'Real Housewives Of New York City!'

Forget Bravo and the Housewives! Jill wants to go on a “spiritual journey!”

It’s all up in the air. No one knows which of the The Real Housewives of New York City are staying or going, but Jill Zarin “told me that she doesn’t want to go back to the show,” Cooper Lawrence, host of the nationally syndicated Cooper Lawrence Radio Show, told HollywoodLife.com after Jill did an interview on her show!

“[Jill] said there were compelling reasons to not return,” explained Cooper, who spoke with Jill over the phone while Jill was at dinner with Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger. “She wants to go on a spiritual journey!”

It sounds like Jill may be trying to run away from her problems, or at least one problem specifically — her co-star Bethenny Frankel! After all the fighting we’ve seen between the two ex-BFFs on season three, as well as her countless attempts to make amends with Bethenny only ending in refusals, it’s no surprise that Jill has had enough.

I hope I never see Jill Zarin “anywhere” and especially not on RHONY or any other show.

Anyone who would treat a friend as she did and still never “get it” needs to go on a spiritual journey which I have a had time believing it would be sincere over an hour let alone journey.

I am not going to vote are you kidding me. Jill is the one that starts all the crap and she is all about drama. Come on if Jill had treated you the way that she did Bethenny you wouldn’t want her as friend either. And we as viewers don’t want to watch her next season.

Did she pay you to write this article? It sure sounds like it. Do yourself a favor and watch the reruns and how nasty Jill Zarin is. WE ARE DONE WITH HER!!!!!

Wow without Jill on the show it will be worth watching again. I can’t stand this woman or her voice. When she said that she would not be on the show with Alex, I thought see you Jill because the viewers want Alex to come back and not YOU.

This show would be so much better without Jill Zarin. I hope that Bravo does not ask her back. If she does come back we will only see a repeat of last season only it won’t be Bethenny that she goes after it will be Alex. I love Alex and Simon and don’t want to see Jill be rude to them any longer, we have seen this for the past 3 seasons. Jill always has to have someone to hate on the show otherwise she has no story line because she is a bore.

Good riddance.
Once I saw the Renuion Show, Jill was outed as trying to talk the other women out of filming with Bethanny, she revealed herself to be a classless, selfish – b-.
And then advising women in her book (which bombed!) to marry a man with money even if you don’t love him, showed how money obessed she is.

I agree you would think that Bravo wouldn’t want her back for trying to sabatogge Bethenny’s new show. The woman is despicable.

she already took this back, and says she had fun filming last season and will continue if she is asked. she just wanted attention.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! GREAT NEW!!!!
I’M SO OVER HER…I HOPE SHE DOESN’T COME BACK.

Are you on drugs??? It was bethenny who tried many times to reconcile only to be knocked down by Jill because she “felt ambushed or didn’t have her notes” bethenny went outside and cried while leaning against a car. And while PREGNANT! Jill is out for JILL and JILL only. The first two seasons she was a nice person. (maybe for cameras and her true self came out this last season ? Hmmmm)

Are your kidding with your poll choices? Can you be more pro-Jill? DO you realize what that does to your credibility? Jill wants everyone to beg her to stay, she wants everyone to demand Alex be fired and she wants to BE Bethenny.

Instead, let’s just forget about her – as she deserves.

Jill is just another old skank. She’s got a face like Walter Mathau. Any relation I wonder? Bring in another one; any skank over 40 will do. I wonder who they will pick? Is Sarah Jessica Parker doing anything? hahahahaha

lol… omg, MEAN!!! now, let’s not sjp into this (tho i agree she is not aging so well- in the face at least).

of course she has to leave nobody likes to watch her…. she finally understood, go away mrs opholstery….you are a disaster

with no bethenny, maybe no countess, and maybe no jill, what is going to happen to rhnyc? i hate jill, but id rather see her back than kelly. kelly needs to get help, its scary.

Share this comment at

unless it gets to the point where people bash them for exploiting a mentally ill substance abuser, bravo will most definitely keep the loon kelly. i’d still be interested in seeing sonja and ramona’s antics- throw a little bit of alex/brooklyn in. yes, though, they do need some more “talent” to keep our interest… maybe they should shift DANIELLE over to nyc when she sells her house in wayne! lordie, danielle and kelly on the same show? yikes.

The person who wrote this column wants to blame Bethenny for everything. How much did Jill pay you to write this column? Jill is the one who wanted this fight to be on the air because she thought a majority of the viewers would be on her side. It backfired on her! The writer didn’t mention that Bethenny tried to make up with Jill three times but Jill shut her down. This writer should get their facts straight before writing an article that is clearly biased.

Good grief, the show is OVER and Jill Z apologized and may be moving on to other things.

Be happy for her that she’s smart enough to know what’s best for her and her family!

GIVE IT A REST ALREADY!

I agree…team Bethenny all the way!!!!!

Good lord I hope this is true, we the viewers can’t handle another season of Jillous either! Good riddance!!

If Bravo invites Jill to come back, she’ll be back. She doesn’t have anywhere else to go. She is not getting her own show. I think Bravo would be foolish to invite her back, she tried to sabotage Bethenny’s new show. Bravo spent a lot of money producing and advertising Bethenny’s new show and their employee (Jill Zarin)tried to sabotage the show before it hit the airwaves. If Jill thinks she has enough power to get Alex fired, she is a damn fool. Bravo will choose Alex over Jill because Jill has caused too many problems for the network. Jill and Alex will be back next season and it will be Jill versus Alex.

Jill please don’t leave you are the most interesting..on the show…:(

I hope she does leave and I also hope RHONY ratings suck because of her departure. I was VERY disappointed in the way that they handled themselves and their situations with Jill at the reunion. VERY UNNECESSARY!!!!! Enough is enough, she needs to leave and do her own thing. It’ll be a crappy show without her!

Share this comment at

i agree with you that it turned into too much jill bashing at the reunion, and that it dropped down to a low. bethenny acknowledged this and tried to stop it at one point. they are emotional ladies with big opinions, it’s hard to just reign that in all the time. but yah, it wasn’t necessary for andy to harp so much on the hate jill stuff, trying to stir it up more. but then, you can’t go anywhere with kelly either, b/c she’s a nut job, and luann’s not all that interesting- so he had to do spend his time on something with that side of the room.

The reason that Jill was bashed is because of all of her nasty behavior. Maybe Jill should change her ways if she doesn’t want to be bashed. She is a nasty, vicious person and she got as good as she gave. I would have liked to have had her answer a few more questions about her actions. Like why did she put Bethenny on speaker phone and then not tell her that LuAnn was listening.

This whole “hate Jill” thing has become so obvious. In order to be accepted and be a member of the “popular posters guild” you have to post a rant against Jill Zarin.

Interesting how she’s apologized so many times and yet the narrative is still the same: be bitter, hate her, diss her, etc.

I wonder if Bethenny is proud of the maturity, compassion, and tolerance levels of her fan base.

I totally agree with you! It really ticked me off to see how immature and “mean girlish” these “women” were acting towards Jill.

Share this comment at

i don’t like jill, but i would welcome her back into my ‘reality women i love’ club, where she used to be, if i thought she had changed from the “true colors” that were revealed when she tried to ice out bethenny and gang up on her like a child. in fact, i think she’s not a very good person and some time away from the cameras reflecting on that would be good for her. we’re not all “mean girls”. sometimes people deserve what they get, and sometimes apologies aren’t real. but sure, i’d be willing to embrace her (not that i matter to her- i’m NOBODY!) and defend her if i thought she warranted it. she just seems very selfish and fake to me, and she always has some beef with somebody and is icing them out. did you notice how after she decided to forgive bethenny, she turned it onto alex and said alex was “toxic”- c’mon. that sort of said it all. i’m not saying everyone has to like alex, but to try to say alex is toxic to save your own butt is pretty pathetic and transparent. so, long story short, we’re not all being bitter mean girls. we just don’t believe her apology or that she’s changed. she put herself out there for us to watch. of course we’re going to contemplate her character. and right now, it ain’t lookin’ so hot.

If Jill was actually sincere in her apologies, things would be different. The only reason she apologized for anything was because people were starting not to like her anymore.

Share this comment at

I agree 100%!

Share this comment at

The only reason that Jill even tried to apologize was because the tide turned against her. She was the “MEAN GIRL” and no one should be rewarded for rude behavior.

People love to hate Jill, people love to love Jill, the fact is that Jill is a draw so Bravo would be fools to let her go. I mean just look at the responses here, they are so impassioned. Jill creates controversy at every turn, she is the perfect reality star…if she leaves housewives another show will steal her away.

Share this comment at

Good riddance. Whatever show she is on, I will not be watching. She is a rude and disgusting loud mouth.

Share this comment at

patty. this is absolutely not true. 1- what other show would steal her? seriously. rho orange county? i mean, c’mon. 2- she’s so boring and cliche, she is NOT interesting. yah, we got into bashing her self-righteous butt, but- other than her tiff with bethenny, there is nothing interesting in the least about jill. she’s very predictable and shallow. your theory works for kelly, unfortunately- she’s completely insane and unpredictable and so she’ll last. but, not jill. she’s tired and not as fun to look at.

Share this comment at

This is total crap. Jill is a total narcissist, she will be back if they ask her. She is just trying to manipulate the viewer to feel sorry for her. I wish she would go on her spiritual journey to outer Mongolia or some other place far away and stay there!

Share this comment at

lol. omg. this is hysterical, and dead on. there is NO WAY IN HELL that woman would turn down bravo if they ask her back. i think she actually is assuming they won’t, so is preparing her “i didn’t want it anyway” line. she’s a piece of work… that said, we should give her a chance to change- especially if she does it IN MONGOLIA!
