Jill Zarin opened up to former BFF, Bethenny Frankel on Bethenny’s podcast, Just B earlier this week and didn’t hold back.

The two agreed how disgusting it was that Andy Cohen would have Bethenny Frankel bring cameras to Bobby Zarin’s funeral without Jill Zarin’s approval and Jill also opened up on the real reason she was upset with Bethenny. They even spoke about how producers tried hard to put a wedge between them

Jill also opened up about the real reason she was upset with Bethenny saying, “The reason I was mad at you … is because I was hurt. And maybe I didn’t express it, I didn’t share it I was hurt that I was losing you and was being left out of everything.”

Jill believes that had Bethenny done season four and not went on her own, the former BFFS would have made up.

Bethenny wasn’t so sure saying, “We would’ve, but it would’ve gotten dirty, and it would’ve been for the show.”

The two were the best of friends when things quickly took a turn and Bethenny accused Jill Zarin of being jealous of her.

The Fallout:

During the fallout, Bethenny revealed that Jill Zarin was jealous when she hosted, ‘The Today Show.‘

Bethenny had told E online, “I remember there was a turning point and I was hosting the Today show. When I got there, the first thing that was told to me by the producers was Jill called her and she lost her mind. ‘Why not me? I’m better than her.'”

Another problem was Bethenny’s ex, Jason Hoppy. Jill apparently wasn’t a fan of Jason and for good reasons.

Back in 2012, Jill Zarin said that she made up the feud but that it ruined the friendship for real. She told Huffington Post, “I thought at the time, that was a good idea. I said, you know what? That’ll surprise the fans.”

According to Bossip, Jill also said that Bethenny only considered the friendship, a “business relationship,” saying, “I really thought Bethenny and I were like sisters. I really miscalculated our friendship because we weren’t like sisters — it was a business relationship for her.“

Both Bethenny and Jill are no longer on the Real Housewives nor did they participate on season 5 of the Real Housewives: Ultimate girls trip which featured RHONY stars, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon and Kristen Taekman
