When you are a public figure (no matter that's from a reality show), you have to expect a certain loss of privacy. If you wanted your life to remain private, ya shoulda thought of that before you went on RH and then proceeded to act like someone that no one would ever want to befriend. That said, having someone show up at your doorstep reeks of stalker behavior, for sure. But there's also perception. Jill could be claiming stalkers when all they are doing is posting "less than like" blogs about her, or tweeting negative things. I do hope no one has crossed that line. But at this point I don't have a lot of sympathy for Jill.

So "Kelly was escorted off St John by producers..." now that makes sense. I feel manipulated by the ruse they pulled to explain it away. bad bad bad

They were trying not to exploit her mental breakdown anymore then was shown. I applaud the producers for looking out for her mental health and not letting it get any worse

This last bit in Frogi's link is the most spot on: quote:"Summer By Bravo" is how the cable network which feeds these women to the lions is pimping their banner schadenfreude season. You can argue that anyone hungry enough for attention to go on reality TV deserves his or her comeuppance. But as the wreckage of the Real Housewives franchise extends beyond cheesy and likely manufactured contretemps into real real struggles, "Bummer By Bravo" might be more apt.
Seriously I think these shows have been more downer than enjoyable. What happened to mindless fluff? I *like* mindless fluff!!

Andy said they filmed for 8 hours! liked the blog posted - the hate jill zarin - but hate is a bit excessive word... and then when you think how hard this board/thread is moderated, emotions do tend to run high!

Well, that article pretty much confirms that Kelly did not leave St. John on her own to be with her girls (especially if they live in the same apartment building as their father).

Part 1 of the reunion is this Thursday at 9:00 and Part 2 is next Thursday. Right before Bethenny gets married. I like that Alex and Simon have taped bits for Bethenny's show. I look forward to seeing them (and, I hope, Ramona) on a show without the drama.

I think Jill needs someone to throw attention off of her, and to use this hater from Chicago and/or Alabama is perfect for giving her a victim's sympathy (not that she is being a pitiful victim, she is strongly handling the situation - and letting everyone know) Once you have someone's first and last name is it really that difficult to get an address? I'm thinking of all the info that is brought out for the bachelor series (or bachelorette) its amazing the info that is sluethed out if one wants to know... Again, it wouldnt surprise me if the threats are blown out of proportion, and yet at the same time, just having your address "out there" with a site that the url says plainly hate jill... would give one pause .

Not that I'm condoning stalker behavior, but Jill seems to be wanting to be the victim, and to garner sympathy votes that way. Sorry, ain't workin' with me!

shoot, all you need is google to find the address of Zarin fabrics...not that I think it's the right thing to do, but it's sure not rocket science.

That was my first thought. Zarin Fabrics is a retail store anyone can look up that address and with all the press Jill seeks and when she redid her apartment there was mention of where she lived, at least the area and we've seen film of her building. I'm sorry I don't trust much of what Jill says and does. Especially after her ridiculous fake reviews of her book on Amazon and using a fake name to berate Amazon posters who didn't give her rave reviews and called them anti semitic. Blamed her daughter for going onto Jill's facebook to post that Bethenny had a baby boy.....OMG Blamed her own daughter! She's just been shown to be anything but authentic or truthful.

I asked a question yesterday about Jill. I know everyone is busy so I will ask again. At the beginning of the season there was an article about Alex and Simon not being invited back next season. The reason was because of Simon's diva-ish ways. Did Jill plant this story? If anyone has answered and I haven't seen it, my apologies. I hope this can be proven at the reunion show.

Lil, girl, sorry, but Jill called people "anti semetic" (she couldn't even spell it correctly!). Olivia, no one knows but speculation is yes, Jill planted that story. And wasn't part of the story that they weren't going to be on THIS season? Which turned out to be totally untrue. I think Alex's Q-factor went up this season. And I have to admit, I didn't really like her much, and especially didn't like Simon. But this season, Simon has taken a back seat to his wife (thank goodness, since he's NOT the 7th housewife!) and Alex has really become very likable. Maybe it is because she's finally speaking her mind!

Olivia, I heard that story too. I don't know where it came from but I didn't believe it when I heard it. Alex and Simon are very popular so I find it very hard to believe they would be cut from the show (but I guess anything is possible). Also, Alex was the first one cast for NY so I can't imagine why they would cut a popular HW who the show was cast around.

Just watched a repeat from last season. Jill was doing a Charity thing and Bethanny was doing her "skinny Girl" stuff. Apparently the liquor sponsor stuck a bunch of framed advertisments behind the bar. Ramona brought it to Jill's attention and she flipped. Wanted to know why Bethanny would do that, if she was her friend she would have told her the space was there and they could have sold it for advertising. Bethanny was clueless since the sponsors did it. I guess I never noticed before this season, but it is Jill's "MO" that when things don't go right she confronts with "If you were really my friend" thing. That being said it was nice to see the time when Jill and Bethanny were close.

Thanks for answering! If she did plant this story I hope she gets called on it. That is beyond cruel.

Regarding Jill being stalked; would any law enforcement agency have someone post on Facebook and Twitter that they are being stalked? Seems a bit specious. And, another parody of the RHONY reunion on YouTube; hysterical. http://www.youtube.com/user/KCSCougar#p/u/0/ixBP4EfuhVA

Olivia - Simon addressed that rumor earlier in the season by saying that Bravo had not even decided yet if there would be a season 4, let alone made casting decisions. "Someone" planted the rumor. Terolyn - I went back and watched some of the earlier seasons, and I was surprised how differently I interpreted some of Jill's behavior after seeing this season. Especially her treatment of Ramona. I think she has always been somewhat of a bully but got a good edit prior to this year (plus Bethenny brought out more humor in her.) I don't know about these supposed threats, but I HOPE that it is just Jill being dramatic and not an actual threat. I would not wish that on her!

In the "olden days" the only way people corresponded with celebrities was via snail mail. They got both positive and negative comments. When someone puts out a blog and only allows the positive comments posted people will resort to snail mail. Of course you can't threaten people but you certainly can write to celebs and give them critiques. It's rally hard to believe anything that Jill says.
