Ex-RHONY’s Jill Zarin SLAMS the show saying it’s like ‘killing each other and fighting with girls you don’t even like’… after fallout with Dorinda Medley
Former Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin has absolutely no regrets over exiting the hit Bravo reality series.
Jill, 56, recently claimed that she quit the show after season four despite reports that she was let go in a massive cast overhaul, but either way, it seems she has no interesting in making a return.
Speaking on the podcast Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef the founder of JBZ Enterprises said: ‘It’s not even an option that I’m entertaining. I think the answer is no, that ship has sailed.’

Jill – who has made several guest appearances on the series since her exit – also went on to slam the show, saying that it wasn’t ‘fun’ anymore.
‘I always said, I don’t want to do the show if I am not having fun anymore. And I didn’t find it fun anymore. I don’t think it’s fun,’ she said.
She then added: ‘Killing each other and fighting with girls you don’t even like. Being forced to take trips with girls you don’t want to be with. I mean, you know, it’s not me.’

Jill’s most recent beef was with Dorinda Medley, after Jill claimed on an Instagram Live that she was ‘blocked’ from attending Dorinda’s Halloween party and that she was ‘mean’ to her.
‘She was so mean to me. I said, “You know, Dorinda, did I do something to you? You’ve been very mean to me.”‘
‘And she goes, “Bravo, Bravo Bravo! We’re not doing this on the show. You’re just using me to get on the show.”‘
Still friendly? Last year Jill went for a boat trip with Ramona Singer and Luann de Lessops
The mention of ‘Bravo’ is an apparent code word used by some Housewives when they don’t want a situation being filmed or used in the show.
Jill added: ‘[Dorinda’s] not nice. I think she’s angry and hurt and coming from a place of all that but I don’t see her being very nice to anyone.’
Meanwhile, Jill – who is now dating boyfriend Gary Brody, after her husband Bobby Zarin passed away in early 2018 – has revealed her thoughts on marrying again.
In the interview she said: ‘I hope so. One day. Not now, not now. I don’t want to get married now and I don’t want to get married before my daughter does.’
Jill has one child, daughter Allyson Shapiro, who is 21.
