Jill Zarin Facebook blunder: 'Real housewife' congratulates Bethenny on a baby boy?
"The Real Housewives of New York's" Jill Zarin made a phenomenal blunder when she congratulated new mother, Bethenny Frankel, on Facebook for her new baby boy?Of course, we all know now that Frankel had a daughter. We tweeted about the blunder this morning, but it seems the mistake has been wiped from existence since then. Of course, that wasn't before hundreds of comments were left berating the housewife for the mistake and claiming that's what she gets for being a gossip.
In its place, Zarin posted an apology (which incriminates her daughter, Allyson. What's with Jill and killing the messenger lately?).
"Yesterday Allyson read a tweet and blog that Bethenny gave birth," writes Zarin on Facebook. "We were excited and congratulated her obviously prematurely. I should have waited until B announced it herself. Sorry."
Zarin wasn't the only one who got the gender wrong. Several premature reports went out last night. The Dish Rag read one and decided to hold off on reporting until the baby's birth was confirmed by a trustworthy source.
Maybe Jill should have done the same?

Jill, my 4 year old autistic son has more class and manners than you do. You are so immature, two faced and mean. Karma will get you every time. When will you "get it" Why is it your the only one who is losing all the friends and fans? Think about it fancy pants.
This show is not entertainment. It's trash. All the housewives of wherever are trash. Bravo has become one of the worst networks on TV.
She just had to be the first one to tell everyone. Notice the other logical housewives waited until Bethenny tweeted before saying anything.
Jill is so naasty, ugly and total trash like Palin. She is too dumb to write let alone facebook, poor trashy thing.
All those who published the incorrect info, had gotten from someone on Twitter who goes by the name 'Tweetmaxine'.
This troll posted on Friday that Bethenny had had a boy, and further claimed that multiple staff ay NY Presbyterian Hospital were texting her with info about Bethenny & her premature baby - going so far as to say the baby had been baptized as a precaution.
Tweetmaxine has been totally outed and discredited, and she 'protected' her Twitter account and erased most of the objectionable Tweets, but her account is still open (hopefully, not for long).
What is the appeal about watching a bunch of rich unemployed bums? "Housewife" is a nice term for a woman who is too lazy to get a job.
i hate the NY hw's too, but eff u TJ Spyke.
I am a nothing and a nobody from Parkersburg, WV Jill and you are even more pathetic then me. I am a nothing and a nobody, you are a two faced back staber who can cry on cue. Everyone I have talked to back here have the same opinion of you. I work at a hospital, I would have thought as many people that I talked to at least one would have liked you, but, no!
Jill keep up the good work, don't let these losers bring you down. Alex is a hag, she might have a good body but she had a hell of a run in with the ugly stick, and Bethany deserves all she got, she found someone to take her and deserted her friends> We love you Jill!
based on the precedents so far, it's most likely that
Marybeth = Jill Zarin or one of her many paid assistants.
