I find the author of the I Hate Jill Zarin blog invests way to much into "hating" someone she's never even met. Many of her "blogs" turned out to be lists of Kelly's and other's tweets. She had posted an extremely long laundry list of Jill's supposed transgressions multiple times. My understanding is that she posted the address of Zarin Fabrics and suggested people send Jill sympathy cards, ostensibly mourning the loss of her integrity. Asking people to send sympathy cards to Jill is wrong, in my opinion. Rallying people to harass a person whom you don't like, whom you've never even met and have just seen on a reality TV show is just bizarre and way over the line. Frankly, while I do think Jill is overreacting, I can understand why she would consider receiving large numbers of sympathy cards (usually reserved for the death of a loved one) to be threatening. Jill would be better served to just ignore the situation rather than give the blogger the attention she is seeking.

Jill should realize that when she puts herself out there on a reality show that she will get feedback. Yes it's bizarre that someone is so invested in a reality show "star" but that is what happens. It all stems from Jill censoring the comments she receives. Jill wants things her way and in this day and age of the internet when a public figure doesn't allow feedback the next step is snail mail. Of course NO ONE should be threatening her. The sympathy cards is overboard, yes.

I agree, they should all realize that they will get negative comments along with the positive, and Jill would be better served just ignoring it. I just think someone who has a blog dedicated to hating someone on a reality show, and who uses that blog to encourage people to harass that person, should perhaps reevaluate her priorities

Isn't it amazing how some people need to draw attention to themselves? Happens with some bloggers and some Housewives and everywhere! And don't get me started on the group 'sharing' that occurs at some weight loss groups! It is like some people are just born to broadcast!

That reminds me of that infomercial guy that was arrested for allegedly overstating his product (a book I believe) so he had to go before a judge - and then he told his followers to email or something the judge - crashing the judge's email account - so naturally the judge wanted to hold him for contempt of court. I believe I read the charges were dismissed, which surprised me. It always goes back to the "public figure" ITA Prisoner and her choice of title "hate" really gives pause.

Something has been bugging me for weeks. We have seen Jill say several times to and about Bethanny "we're done." But after Alex confronted Jill at Jen's party with the "you're a mean girl and you are in high school", Jill said on the way out "She's done." The first 'done' statement is personal about Bethanny. The second one hit me as if Jill felt it was her show and that she was proclaiming that Alex was 'done', as in not on 'her' show anymore. In no way do I think Jill would have this kind of sway, but Jill might think she does or did at the time. Anyone else get that impression?

I agree Mummy, and it was not just that statement, but Jill's earlier statement that 'we should not be in the same social circles' that kind of set the stage for that interpretation.

The NYC housewives seem tame compared to the Joizy goyls! LOL. Still, Kelly could be dropped from the NY cast and I would be happy with that.

Thanks Alisons. I'm glad that I am not the only one that saw it that way. I had forgotten the earlier statement. Yes it did set the stage. It was like Jill thought she could kick Alex off the show. Sia, I wouldn't miss Kelly from the show either. I wouldn't even miss Jill. I am sure they could find drama for the show without Jill.

From the beginning Jill said she was responsible for bringing all the housewives together. I have no doubt that she thinks she has some influence over saying who goes. The only one I want to leave the show is Kelly, but can you imagine that conversation? Bravo Producer: Kelly, thank you for the last two years, but we aren't asking you back for the next season. Kelly: Are you kidding? I'm the only authentic one on the show! The others are all creepy and demented! Bravo Producer: All the more reason why you don't really belong on the show. You really don't fit in with the other housewives. Kelly: You aren't a producer, you're a - a - a - I don't know what you are, but you aren't a producer! Bravo Producer: I've been producing this show for three years. All the research we've done says the audience just doesn't relate to you. Kelly: That's because I'm up here, and they're done there! They're all trying to kill me. With their hair. At night. In my dreams. While I'm eating jelly beans and sucking on .... lollipops. Bravo Producer: Alrighty then. Well, again, thank you and all the best. Kelly: I'm leaving! I'm going to go run in the streets and do cartwheels! I need to go take care of my girls! And later, to the press... Reporter: Kelly, we hear you won't be back for the next season. Kelly: Bravo Producer begged me to come back, but I needed more time to be charitable and spend all my time tweeting.

I totally agree that Jill somehow determined that she is the star of the show and Bravo will heed her every whim. I actually think that is a big part of the reason she wouldn't cut Bethenny any slack. She somehow realized that Bethenny had many fans and that Bravo was spinning off a new show for her. So instead of relishing in her friends success she decided to try to make Bethenny look bad and maybe Bravo would rethink who they were going to give the spin off to. She appears to be very calculating and deceptive in her actions. I took saying to Alex "she's so done" as a threat, too.

Very funny, Prisoner! I wished Kelly gone after seeing her last season!

Well, we know Jill is lying because it has been reported many times since Day One that Alex was the first one cast for the show. In fact, it took them almost a year to cast the rest of them after Alex had been signed up for the show.

And later, to Larry King: Larry King: Kelly, we hear you won't be back for the next season. Kelly: Bravo Producer begged me to come back, but I needed more time TO JOG WITH TAXIS. (... and the hits just keep on coming)

I took Jill's "threat" to mean that Alex would be done in society. That Jill will trash her and she will no longer be invited or accepted into her "fabulous set of friends".

Y'all forgot Kelly's favorite catch phrase: "Zip it! Just ZIP it!" I think Jill is a lot more calculating that I previously thought. The way she's always throwing out the "I did this for you but you didn't do that for me" and how she keeps count of that stuff. Really, do friends keep track of how many things you do for one another? I'm sure Jill has been surprised at how she's been perceived this season. I think she thought she was the fave and could do no wrong. Trying to discredit other housewives, though, both on air and off, have really alienated her. While there are still many who like her, but there are even more, I think, who used to like and don't any longer. It has to totally burn her behind to realize how she's fallen into disfavor while her perceived enemies are now more widely liked. Bethenny already had a fairly large fan base and watching her emotional derailment as she tried to solve the issues with Jill, with Jill constantly rebuffing her attempts, only endeared Bethenny to more people than Jill expected. So, actually, Jill made her bed. Now she needs to lie in. Fleas and all.

Jill thinks she runs Bravo. When she was on WWHL with Andy Cohen a while back, she started talking about Patty Stanger (Millionaire Matchmaker) and how she was coming to New York to do her show. Jill said anyone interested should contact her (Jill). Andy was not happy. He called her out and said Bravo has a casting department for that and people should contact them not Jill.

that's funny Bombay - the first HW was OC and I remember the posts that said it all started with Jenna - and Vicky was a neighbor and her(Vicky) assistant... then i guess it took off and they (Bravo) had a formula - so yes, I think Jill doesnt live in the world the rest of us - she's like UP HERE, and we're down here so to speak

http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/save_jill_zarin_soul_t2zRLtIaGPPKRG4Hydmm1M?sms_ss=twitter 'Save' Jill Zarin's soul "Real Housewives" star Jill Zarin is the victim of a sick campaign. A source close to Zarin told us, "A woman posted her address and urged fans to send Jill sympathy cards for the death of her soul, while another urged people to sign Jill up for magazine subscriptions. We think these people are friends with another housewife." Zarin wrote on Twitter: "We are being harassed and threatened . . . We have contacted authorities. Someone posted my address and told people to send me threatening mail . . . Using the US Postal Service is a serious crime."

LOLOL Well Jill has started blocking people who follow GingerZarin and the I hate Jill blog author on Twitter. LOL I can't believe she blocked me, so funny. My last tweet to her was how fantastic she looked at her 25 year school reunion and how even though I didn't like her much this season, but how WRONG it was that her address was published. So typical Jill. If you are friends with the enemy, you can't be friends with her. TOO FUNNY

At least Kelly B says she doesn't block anyone, let the haters hate. Got to give her credit for that.
