AceShowbiz - Jill Zarin's exit from "The Real Housewives of New York City" wasn't only a huge shock for fans but also for herself. Just weeks before season 5 of the show was set to begin filming back in 2011, Bravo decided to fire her alongside fellow Housewives Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord and Cindy Barshop. Calling the call "jolting," the Zarin Fabrics owner told "Good Morning America", "It didn't feel good. Nobody likes to not be asked back to the party."
Jill, however, claimed during her appearance on Vicki Gunvalson's "Whoop it Up With Vicki" podcast that she sent "an email out to all the people I was friends with and the producers" and that she had "buyer's remorse" and regretted not retracting it as soon as possible. "I figured, you know what? They're not gonna listen to me anyway, they're gonna do what they wanna do. [And then] three weeks later I got fired. Even though I quit, I didn't like getting fired at all," she explained.
