Jill Zarin Says She’s Not Replacing Carole Radziwill On RHONY But Admits She Would Like To Return As A ‘Friend’ For Season 11!

Jill Zarin is shutting down reports that she’s replacing Carole Radziwill on The Real Housewives of New York City’s upcoming eleventh season. Jill revealed that she won’t be returning to the series as a full-time cast member.

“Somebody started a rumor that I was in talks with Bravo. That's not true. That's not true," Jill said on Saturday at the sixth annual Luxury Luncheon, with this one honoring Bobby, in the Hamptons.

“I would like to come back as a friend,” she told E! News. “I've said that before. I would. I don't know if my friend would like to do it, but, yeah, 'cause I think I have the time now. I couldn't do it for many years because of Bobby, and I was talking care of him. But now I have the time. And I think Luann needs me.”



As previously reported, Carole confirmed her exit from RHONY in a statement to Bravo TV's The Daily Dish on Wednesday. “After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONYC, I have decided to return to what I do best —  journalism and producing. I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament," she said. "I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next.”
