'Real Housewives' Bethenny Frankel made up with Jill Zarin? False. Leaving show? Maybe.
"The Real Housewives of New York City" airs its finale on Thursday, June 3 and Bravo has been touting the reunion show as the most dramatic one ever. So, of course, moles are starting to leak out information on the much-anticipated reunion.Our source says that Life & Style's report that Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin appeared to have "buried the hatchet" during the reunion taping is false.
"The Life & Style piece was way off base," a source close to Bethenny tells Zap2it. "It's possible that a calmer, softer [Bethenny], new mom and all that, might have embraced a crying and remorseful Jill but I can't see a friendship being restored anytime soon."
Yet, being on the show together must force Bethenny to see her old friend more than she would like. But that may not be a problem next season. Bethenny is thinking about leaving the show.
"I tend to think it might be the end," Bethenny told Access Hollywood. "The only thing that would sway me would probably be money."
She goes on to say that even the money may not overcome the fact that she's not sure she wants to stay on the show when she thinks it may have run its course.
Who knows? Bravo may have a hit with her new show "Bethenny Getting Married" premiering on June 10 and create "Bethenny Staying Married" for next year?

Bethenny looks really weird since she's gotten preggers.
does no one else see her huge jaw. its so distracting .
Bethenny looks awesome ALL the time. AND, she's honest - unlike some of the plastic people we see on the show.
Also, I hope Bethenny doesn't leave. That's like Simon leaving American Idol. It just won't work. Bethenny and Simon have one thing in common -- HONESTY. Without them, their shows will sink and die.
Love to Bethenny and her new life. God bless you and yours, hon!
Dear David/Kelly,
Bethenny looks fine. Someday when you're pregnant we'll pick your looks apart for fun!
I hope Betheny leaves the show because I am so done with her. she is a snippy little know it all!
As someone who has known Jill Zarin through social connections, I can truly say Jill is a person who craves the spotlight and was jealous that her friend B had written a well-recieved book and had a show slated for BRAVO. Jill felt she would also be a "tagalong" for the show and didn't understand why B was recieving all the attention since Jill felt, Jill was the "glue" holding together the RHONY show. Jill has always had a slanted and diluted view of herself so it was only a matter of time when she, Jill, would start a fight. Jill has fought with others for a long time. I'm thinking B didn't see this side of Jill until now. Good luck Bethenny, you seem level headed and on your way to success. Jill needs to learn a valuable lesson and take responsibility for her poor behavior.
I think Bethenny is th most beautiful and honest one. Jill should of excepted her apology on camera if she was truely her friend. You go girl! you have worked hard for your success.I hope you take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. I do think you were a little hard on the singer lou ann. Sonja and alex are nice stick with them they will be good friends. maybe ramona but she is unpredictable.
why is it, that someone has to choose sides all the time! Both had their faults, and BOTH did NOT handle the situation the right way most of the time. If Both cannot forgive each other for both hurting each other, then they both should be off the show.
Anyone with a working brain cell could tell that Jill was simply overcome with jealousy over Bethanny's success. I truly believe, Jill enjoyed Bethanny the underdog and loved feeding off of that. It not only made Jill look like the caring friend, but it endured her to fans....the only mistake Bethanny made in all this was actually believing that Jill cared about her. Sure she did, as long as you needed her to lean on. A true friend would allow you your happiness, something Jill was incapable of doing. I'm 100% certain, had Jill her way with Bethanny...Jason would be a footnote.
Agree that Jill was overcome with jealosy. Thought that from beginning of the season. I find Bethenny and Jason delightful. Jill lost a great friend!
