Jill Zarin: From Reality TV to Reality Bites (But Mostly Delightful Bites)
Ah, Jill Zarin. The OG Housewife of New York City. The woman who brought us iconic one-liners like "Who are you?!" and "Mention it all!" But what became of this Pinot Grigio-loving legend after her dramatic exit from the show? Buckle up, because we're about to spill the tea (and maybe a little bit of shade).
From Housewife to Homebody (Not Really)
Jill graced our screens for four fabulous seasons on RHONY. We saw her navigate the choppy waters of New York society, manage the family fabric business (pun intended!), and deal with the, ahem, "interesting" personalities of her fellow Housewives. Let's not forget the infamous "Scary Island" fight with Bethenny Frankel - a Housewives brawl for the history books!
Then, the Shocking Split (Well, Not Exactly Shocking for Reality TV)
Bravo honchos decided to "go in a different direction" with the show, and Jill was one of the Housewives who got the boot. But let's be honest, Jill wasn't exactly chopped liver. The woman's a hustler!
Jill 2.0: Bigger, Bolder, and With More Sequins
Since leaving RHONY, Jill has been busy building her own empire. She launched a home decor line (because who doesn't need a Jill Zarin-approved throw rug?), co-founded an online boutique with her daughter Ally, and even made a triumphant return to reality TV on "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club" (proving that being an ex-Housewife is still pretty darn fabulous).
Love in the Time of Pinot
Sadly, Jill's beloved husband Bobby passed away in 2018. But fear not, Jill found love again! She's currently engaged to consultant Gary Brody, although they're waiting for her daughter to get hitched first (because good manners, duh).
