Jill Zarin: I'm Not Leaving 'The Real Housewives Of New York City'

After several reports that Jill Zarin was contemplating leaving "The Real Housewives of New York City" when season five debuts next year, the feisty redheaded reality star finally set the record straight to Us Weekly.

"The rumors about Bravo dropping me from The Real Housewives of New York City as well as rumors that I am leaving the show are simply not true," Zarin told Us Magazine.

"Everything that has been reported is simply rumors, gossip and speculation. I personally have been busy with my shapewear line, Skweez Couture and am still very much part of the Bravo family."

While Bravo has neither confirmed nor denied the reports, Zarin is among a group of housewives who'll be hitting the road on the Real Housewives Tour announced Monday. She'll appear with Atlanta's NeNe Leakes, NJ's Melissa Gorga and Miami's Marysol Patton in Atlanta, GA on Oct. 15.

Have you ever noticed that the majority of these housepersons are schmatas, sellers of rags. Today Alex and Simon started selling towels. Only Sonja and the countless aren't in the rag business. I don't count Cindy because her business is decorating vaginas and I don't know how to categorize that. If these awful women return it would be because anyone who is not in desperate straights would not agree to be on this operation humiliation. What started out as a fun romp once a week has turned into sadomastic exercise.

I wish she would go. She is vile, maniupulative . . . she's the absolute equivalent of a teenage bully. But who cares what Bravo does. Those people have become morbid caricatures of themselves. Self-absorbed, arrogant women who've come to believe that they are special when they are less than most of society. The $ign doesn't make them anything. These Housewives shows have caused more personal chaos than they are worth. Just read that one of the Beverly Hills Housewives husband's committed suicide. Taylor and her husband had their problems but were doing OK until the destructive Housewives brand arrived. Alexis & her husband were doing fine until ultimate destroyer Andy Cohen, Bravo and Housewives arrived. Bravo, like all American greed, just cares about the $$$$$Advertisers bring. Don't watch any of them any longer. On the whole, the women are destruction. At the top of the list is Zarin who pretends she's this level, balanced woman. She can't stop fixing her face & spew her lies. Hope what goes around comes around with these women - they deserve some of what they put others through - vile hatred & manipulation!

Trying to stop a rumor is like trying to unspread butter on toast.

I stopped watching the Real Housewives of NYC a while back. I see the headlines about these women and it just makes me laugh. These "reality" shows are all scripted and ridiculous. Jill is the worst. Most of those women are snobs and in "reality" they aren't "housewives" and have no business being on t.v.

We'll have to agree to disagree...she and Bobby make me smile! I thought the pathetic one this season was Alex...talk about 'over-the-top' acting!
