Jill Zarin Rejected By Bravo Again!

Former Real Housewife, Jill Zarin, was rejected by Bravo for a role on The Real Housewives of New York: Legacy.

A source told Radar Online that Jill, 58, reached out to the network that cast her for The Real Housewives of New York, but they still don’t think it’s time for her to return. The source said that every year, Jill tries to get back on Bravo but she keeps getting rejected. “They are just not that into her. It seems like every few years, Jill tries to get back on the show, and each time she is rejected. However, this time, with all the ladies being fired, Jill really thought she had a chance [on RHONY: Legacy].”

Another insider revealed that this time, Jill approached the network and reminded them that she found Bethenny Frankel and could do it again. They also said about Zarin, “She has put together a list of ladies, including herself, to pitch to Bravo.” However, the source added that Jill might never hold an apple again because Bravo is looking for a completely new group of ladies for the new show. “It’s a very diverse bunch and much younger than the cast that was let go. They are not trying to find a new Ramona or Sonja or Luann. They want totally original women who don’t remind you of anyone that has been on the show before.”

Jill Zarin has been very open about wanting to rejoin the Real Housewives franchise. After the OG cast members of The Real Housewives of New York were fired after 13 seasons, Andy Cohen expressed the network’s desire to cast more diverse ladies for their new show. In March, the Watch What Happens Live host said, “We are searching for a multicultural group of friends who really best reflect the most exciting city in the country. We’re looking for a group of women who are real friends, and who are of diverse backgrounds, races, and religions.” Cohen said that The Real Housewives of New York’s declining ratings were the ultimate reason for his reboot.

Jill expressed her desire to be back on Bravo when Andy posted the news on Instagram. She posted a phone emoji in the comment and tagged Andy. When asked if anyone from the network had reached out to her, she said, “No, I haven’t heard from anybody.” In an April interview with Page Six, Jill clarified that it was her daughter who left the comment.
