Jill Zarin Wants Carole And Heather Fired From RHONY And Calls Latest Season A Disaster
Bravo threw ex-Housewife Jill Zarin a bone earlier this week by allowing her to say her peace on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, but she is still obsessed with talking about the situation. Jill is saying that Heather Thomson and Carole Radziwill need to be fired and that Bravo needs to bring her back, as well as Kelly Bensimon and Alex McCord! Jill also elaborates on Andy Cohen’s alleged favoritism and says that whoever is responsible for the “disaster” she thinks RHONY has become, should be fired.
Jill tells Huffington Post of her ex-boss, “Andy looked in shock when I accused him of picking sides, he looked perplexed. How do you think we all felt when he had Skinnygirl [a collection of drinks produced by Bethenny Frankel] behind him for two years? He didn’t put Ramona’s or Teresa drinks behind him. It’s not me saying it; we all thought it.”
The revamp of RHONY did not produce ratings near what the prior season brought in, and Jill suggests that the network needs to bring her back and fire current Housewives! Jill says Bravo “should bring back me, Alex and Kelly and fire Carole [Radziwill] and Heather [Thompson]. Whoever was responsible for this disaster, should be fired.”
Bravo has also said that Jill will not be re-hired for the show, so I think it’s best for her to let go of this already. The sooner she shuts up and moves on, the less psychotic she will seem!
Thoughts on what Jill said regarding Andy? Do you think bringing back Jill and other ex-Housewives would repair the show?

AllAboutTRH Meets RHONJ Star Teresa Giudice
She is funny and desperate it seems to get back on a show that FIRED her. I do agree with a little tiny bit of what she says about Andy- nothing you can do about favoritism though and Bravo is surely not going to listen to an ex-employee. BTW- I would not fire Carole! I would toss Aviva, maybe LuMann, not sure about Heather. She was not that bad by end of season.
I agree with Jill. This season was a disaster. I have tried watching the show, and I just can’t get into it. The storylines are lame, and that Aviva woman is annoying as hell! From the very first episode, I was already annoyed by her and Heather, but when I watched the last few episodes… Heather wasn’t so bad, and Aviva was just psycho! Looking at her face was too much, and that voice of hers seemed to annoy me even more. I have only watched maybe 6-7 episodes including skipping scenes because I am just not feelin it with these women.
Fire Aviva, Heather, LuAnn, and add new housewives that are more fun and exciting! Please don’t bring Jill back! Not many people could stand her, and her voice REAKS!!! Her know it all attitude, and her negative opinions don’t matter. BAWYBYYYYY! Oh, hell!
It was a little boring this year. It was a break though from RHONJ, dont’cha think?
Heather I did not like at ALL until St Barth’s! I liked Carole from beginning! They could have done away with the Miami/Aviva tip and God bless him, but her father did not need to be filmed either.
michers, do you watch vh1? there’s a show there called “couples therapy” and has celebrity couples on it. alex and simon are there along with a well know blogger from “thedirty”. you know the website that tamra used to reveal gretchens secrets. it’s really interesting to watch.
Did Tamra really reveal Gretchen’s secrets on that site? Was she quoted or people could just tell?
I have been watching that show!
i’m not sure if she gave the thedirty some secrets about gretchen but she sure used it against gretchen many times. i rememeber she mentioned the site more than once in reunions. that site really loves talking crap about gretchen and slade. that guy that runs the site is such a scumbag. he actually thinks he’s being helpful to women and making women famous. he’s delusional.
UGHHHH @ rukidding! I keep missing it, lol! My sister called me yesterday to remind me because Alex was already to go “hard” and fell, LOL!!! I will catch it this weekend!
lol i just saw the episode with that scene. at first i had no idea what you were talking about but now i do. alex was arguing with simon in the pool and she got really mad and went off stomping and she slipped and fell and he tried to help her but she wouldn’t have it. that was so embarrassing.
I definitely do not want Jill back. I like the new show,, not quite as hateful as the last season with kelly and Jill, but that is an improvement IMO.
NO Kelly! It is very uncomfortable watching her unravel on camera.
I watched NY this season, they need better plots,, but it was an improvement. Please don’t go backward BRAVO.
but shes right about Andy’s favoritism and I am glad she called him on it.
Looks like Bethenney is done with Bravo anyway. Poor investment on bravos part. Betheney needed Jill and kelly to look less neurotic herself, now that she has to stand next to Jason. she looks pretty messed up.
Agree!!
I think Bravo knows Bethenny is done with the network ($150 mil might be means to not need Bravo anymore), so I think Bravo will focus their energies on Teresa in the coming years. Why? She is tv gold and she has an huge debt to pay off. She is definitely working her butt off and I think Bravo can use her to show women what a woman can do, be strong and independent, and since she needs the money, I think she’ll be around for a while. Its a win-win. Watch Andy’s favorites shift next season of RHONJ
I would hope so, because the fans will eat him alive if he doesn’t stop giving Tre the bottom of the deck
I’m not American but I’ve been in NY many times and it is my favourite city, that’s why I start watching rhony. I have to thank whoever was responsible for firing Jill and Kelly. Jill was/ is disgusting and kelly was really painful to watch. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bethenny. She made a history by using the reality show in the best way possible. If I were Andy I would also treat her differently cause the girl is genius.
I really liked Jill, but she is looking too desperate! They are not going to hire her back, so let it go! I do however agree with her with Andy’s favoritism…he is too obvi sometimes! And Kelly & Alex??! Please!!!! Too crazy & boring at the same time. I do think that Heather & Carole brought class to the show, so they should stay!
I really wish Jill would go away. She looks super desperate now, trying to get back in the spotlight. She needs to accept her 15 minutes are up and move on.
Jill was a likable character, season 1 and 2, if nothing else she’s the example of what not to do moving forward on these shows. Even if Bravo encourages drama, you have to distinguish a little drama from being malicious, vile and toxic ahem Caroline.Betheny was the first housewife to figure out that this is platform for getting your own ventures out there, I don’t even think Bravo was prepared for her success on the scale it soared, but it was because of her that they started including in the housewives contracts of getting a percentage of any business ventures that they promote on their network, that explains the whole episode from RHONJ that just looked like one big informercial.
You are so spot on. I don’t want to see Jill or hear her voice. That WWHL was the disaster. Maybe Andy just likes Skinny Margaritas and not Bellinis. I don’t think it’s a big deal. I will never look upon Kelly ever again so they better not even try it. I liked Heather and the way she read Ramona right off the bat. I didn’t even mind Aviva because Ramona earned that dressing down by being such a jerk about her leg. She’s the Queen of attacking people but she can’t take it when she’s the target.
How dare she talk about my Heather!
I love Heather! She seems the most open to other people’s “quirks” Look at the chances she gave to Ramona and Sonja. Keep her and Carol, get rid of “Phobia for every occasion Aviva”
Carole and Heather are my favorite NYC housewives.
Agreed
I love Carole, to me she’s the new and improved Bethanny. She’s funny, laid-back, already rich, so she’s just in it for fun. Love her. Loved her book. Read it years ago when it came out. If you haven’t read it, you should. You’ll like her even more.
I like Heather and Carole, but would love to see them get rid of Aviva and LuAnn and bring Jill back, but definitely NOT Kelly! And I really wouldn’t want them to bring back Alex & Simon either.
I didn’t care for this season at all and if they have the same cast next season, I have no intention of watching at all!
I agree, except for the Jill part. Her voice is like nails to a chalkboard and her condescending attitude is unreal. Good riddance!
OMG…somebody put her out of her misery! Duck tape, please.
They should get all new housewives for NYC and they should add more diversity to the mix before bringing anyone back.
Jill is right though, the new show is a mess. And I haven’t watched an episode since she’s been gone.
Jill is right about the Skinnygirl props and no-one else’s drinks are used on the set.
Jill has a very inflated ego. Is being on this stupid show that important to her? If so, she needs to see a mental health pro. Andy Cohen probably loved making her look like an idiot on WWHL.
Had me at inflated ego, lol! I would loved to know, which is the real Jill? The first season Jill ( who I did not mind , I liked) or the last 2 seasons of mean girl trouble maker?
I liked her the first season also. She got so competitive and mean. Not that I was a fan of Simon, but she treated Alex and Simon terribly.
Yeah she went in on them!! I never understood why, unless she was trying to be all alpha woman with them because she could not do that to anyone else!
Well said!! I enjoyed watching the season without Jill and all her ugliness. (I also loved that Carole put the Countess Pumpkin Head in her place)
Jill did not play this right if she wanted to be brought back. Had she faded into the background quietly…pursued her shape wear line or whatever else and been gracious about the new season…I can see how Bravo could have brought her back and it would been a big plot twist and probably successful. Instead she goes on WWHL…slams Andy Cohen for favoritism, makes rude comments about Luann, says Heather’s not really Jewish and not as like able as she was, says their whole season is toxic and awful with bad ratings,brings up the Bethenny issue AGAIN and basically says that it was just business to Bethenny and she didn’t get that which insinuates that Bethenny is cold and calculating. Then after WWHL proceeds to continue this same tirade saying who should be fired. What boss is going to give someone back their job who has openly criticized them and is trying to tell the what to do. It’s sad and pathetic. I would have been thrilled if they had brought her back prior to all this nonsense but now she’s just put the nails in her own coffin.
I guess her shapewear line isn’t doing so well. I guess Jill found out it’s easier to get paid a fortune by Bravo to basically exist, then it is to actually work for a living. There’s alot of shapewear out there, right Jill.
i personally lovedd Carole and Heather, Carole was my favorite : ) and Jill made herself look a little obsessed and psycho on WWHL and now this article. give it a rest jill
Someone on another blog said it best when they said that just because WWHL scored a record amount of viewers, does not mean they want Jill back, it just means we all like to watch trainwrecks. And the EGO that is Jill Zarin…is just that, a trainwreck. She, however, sees it as viewers loving her and wanting more of her and I really don’t think that is true. So now she is strategically planting articles saying that Bravo wants her back and I have to believe that Bravo would never bring her back no matter what just because they know that is exactly what she wants. I believe it was her DIVA-like antics that really got her thrown off that show and they are not willing to backtrack and have her think she “won”.
Also, I know I said this on another RHONY post, but I caught back to back reunions of RHONY I think on Monday this week and Kelly Bensimon is so unstable it is scary. I am so glad she is no longer on that show because she infuriated me on ALL of the reunions with her constant contradictions. But the last reunion she was on, her behavior towards Alex specifically was abhorrent.
Be honest people, this season of the rhonyc was just not that good. Calling a spade a spade. It started heating up at St. Barts…that was what? 14 episodes into the season? Every other season of the rhonyc has been better. I don’t know if the cast has anything to do with it, but this cast was just boring! (until st. barts)
I agree it wasn’t as good as previous seasons but it was still good. I didn’t find it boring once we got through the first few episodes. The people who annoyed me were the veterans. I think they need to ditch Ramona and Sonja and get some younger women.
Talk about letting the fame go to your head! When is this woman gonna get a clue that she does not, cannot run that show? This past season may have been a bit of a drag, but it was great not having her or Kelly there! Get over it Jill, you’re rich as hell, go find something else to do.
Dear Jill,
Cry me a river
Build me a bridge
And get OVER it!!!!!
If bravo wanted you then you wouldn’t have been fired. Your 15 minutes of fame has expired. Bye bye!
She’s right about this season being a disaster IMO. Can’t stand Heather and Aviva. Carol’s kinda fun. Bring back Jill and axe Luann.
She’s totally right about Andy too.
Jill go away and stay away. You weren’t missed. you-re the dilusion one. You certainly werent’t the voice of reason—-and componded with that horn that you call a voice……just go and ye4s talke your whole family with you.
I had ZERO interest in her sister or her mother or the things she was trying to plug for her family. Found it funny that SHE brought the fight she was having with Bethenny to Bravo and wanted to make it a story line and Andy disagreed.
No one wants you back Jill. Here’s a dollar. Go buy yourself some dignity.
I didn’t really care that Kelly and Alex were fired, didn’t understand Jill being fired vs. Ramona and Sonja (cannot stand them and their childish antics and big egos). I like Heather and Carol a lot, and can take or leave Aviva. LuAnn has served her purpose, and doesn’t add much to the show. I think Ramona and Sonja are trainwrecks. As a mature woman, these women drink too much and act totally immature and actually vulgar. I don’t think it would work now to bring Jill back, but feel strongly that Bravo should get rid of Ramona and Sonja. Time will tell who is in and if anyone is out, but I would have preferred Jill to Ramonja and really did not watch the show because of leaving those two on.
