'Housewives' Star Jill Zarin Contacts Authorities Following Hater Threats

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 7th 2010 10:15AM

Over the weekend, Jill Zarin was forced to contact authorities after her family was "harassed and threatened" by haters after someone posted her address online and told people to send her threatening mail. The 'Real Housewives of New York City' star vented to her fans on Facebook -- upset about the ordeal.

"We are being harassed and threatened by a family from Chicago and Alabama. We have contacted authorities. I will block anyone who is linked to them per postal service law enforcement until they finish investigation. This is a serious crime and all evidence has been handed over. If you are involved in anyway. I suggest you stop. Enough is enough. It is NOT funny or a joke," Zarin wrote on her official Facebook page.

The threats apparently came after a recently-aired episode of the Bravo reality show, as some viewers were angered by the way Zarin handled her drama with co-star Bethenny Frankel. On the finale of 'Housewives,' she and Frankel discuss their fight, which has become "totally berserk."

"What the hell happened to us?" she asks her pal over lunch. "I feel like we were married and then we separated, and I don't want to be separated."

Frankel tells Zarin that she's been "disloyal" and that she's been "killed by this."

"I don't know how to build a relationship in the future because I am so damaged by this relationship," she says. "It's like a divorce."

Zarin later posted another message on Facebook, admitting, "I will not tolerate haters on my Facebook and Twitter accounts anymore. The show is now OVER. I will be blocking anyone following the serious haters as well. Dina gave me good advice. You know who I mean. Haters come with being a celebrity. We all have them, but I will do my best to block them and their followers. Peace and Love. Not hate," she wrote.

All these women act like they are still in grade school... it's time to grow up ladies... and look at what you are teaching your children.

My thoughts to "phyllis"... OMG just how stupid are you?? It's time you acted like the adult/mother in your home and "NOT" let your child watch this program.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!

Moronic rednecks, probably. The same kind of IQ that stalkers have. Of course, without them, how would we know that we are the sane ones? The ones that openly share their hatred are usually most likely to do nothing. But the ones that keep it bottled up, well, let's just say that bottles can break and leave it at that.

I don't waste my time watching anything that promotes idiocy, and I don't understand why people have the need to go on Facebook, Twitter, or My Space, and spill their guts. Whatever happened to shame and pride? Just curious.

I have been so disappointed with Jill for some time. She has a lot of bad characteristics. I don't like the way she treated Alex either, and she needs to get herself together and start off new with all of them. Alex was right when she said Jill was a mean girl. She sure is. Jill, get over yourself.

By Boston

I hope Bethenny is happy! This is what happens when people use a fight to boost their fame. Bethenny made sure she had cast members and all her fans gang up on Jill so she could get her own show! SAD very SAD BETHENNY, I hope your new show was worth it!

By robin

Are you serious? You are threatening a total stranger because of an alleged fight she is having with another total stranger? Let me guess, you actually believed Gilligan was really stuck on an island and Jeanie truly lived in a bottle! Get a grip, please!

By Ed

People this is a TV SHOW. Get over yourselves. Most of this stuff is staged for shock value. C'mon people, look at your own lives and find out how interesting you would be or could be. Stop this nonsense about "reality tv". There is nothing real about these folks..................

By daddyshome

When I happen across blogs, such as these, I wonder why these people watch such programs. Don't they know they can vote shows off the air by using enough self control to just turn it off.

By vini

This what happens when you get well known,Kelly was drunk thats all get over it,bethenny got her own show out of it,she knows what she is doing,jill, all the housewives know how she is so don't be friends with her if you can't take it, alex!Bring back the original idea of what the show is all about get rid of the new york ones!

By Melody

What is so very sad about reality shows is that young kids and teenagers who watch them can't wrap their brains around the fact that they are NOT, in fact, reality. They watch these god-awful shows and think that is the way people are supposed to think and behave in real life... hence, the disrespect, vulgarity, and narcissism in today's youth. It's not rocket science, people.

who really cares about jill, she is an old broad looking for some attention

She's loving this.

Please lady, celebrity? You are no more of a celebrity than a monkey in a zoo. The public is just viewing you in your natural habitat. It isn't like you have any special talents, skills or useful intelligence we are interested in. In fact, there are monkeys, gorillas, pandas, dolphins and killer whales with more celebrity status than you. I've never even hear of you until today. Hopefully, you will slide back into anonimity.

Jill Zarin is a caricature of capitalist excess, a spending machine whose day's peak is to count the number of ways she can dominate other people and hug the limelight. Her garish apartment is a total metaphor for her persona - loud, shockingly vulgar and a waste of money.
