Oh Jill Zarin – lady loves a spotlight, right! Just on the heels of word that Bethenny Frankel was trying to stage a Real Housewives of New York reunion on her talk show complete with Jill – an offer Jill turned down – Jill is speaking out!
"I flat out said 'no' when they asked me to go on her show," Jill tells Life & Style. "Does she think I'm just going to show up and she's going to come out and do her fake show and then run away?"
At the root of Jill's refusal is that Bethenny didn't personally reach out to ask her. "She couldn't pick up the phone and call me herself. I was shocked. She should've called."

"I'm in a neutral zone with Bethenny; we've communicated," Jill reveals. "I was hurt that she didn't call me because I did e-mail and congratulate her on the show, so it wasn't like we hadn't spoken." Let. It. Go.
Jill further claims she thinks Bethenny has unpure motives. Meaning she has no intention of rekindling their friendship. You know Jill was thinking they could do a talk show together! "I was hoping she was looking for resolution and not to use me for ratings," Jill quips. "I was looking for an honest and real conversation. I felt I deserved that because we were such good friends."
Regarding the rumor that Bethenny offered Jill and Alex McCord $400 to appear, Jill says "no money was discussed, but it wouldn't have mattered."
Alex has since come forward admitting that she was offered money. "It was less than union scale. I would make more money sending one fashion tweet," she said in a YouTube video. She also referred to the amount as "laughable".
