'Housewives' Cast Shocked by Jill Zarin's 'Taut' Face

By Rob Shuter Posted Apr 14th 2011 09:15AM

EXCLUSIVE: While 'Real Housewife' Jill Zarin told me (first!) that her new look has nothing to do with plastic surgery, other members of the 'NYC' cast tell me they don't believe it. How else, they argue, can you explain the reality star's remarkable transformation?

Zarin, 47, denies getting any work done -- "If I did, I would be the first to admit it," she told me -- but her critics aren't so convinced.

"I really don't know what to think." Ramona Singer tells me. "If you see her in the photos, her face looks different. Personally I like her other look better."

Ramona tells me that Sonja Morgan, another NYC housewife, is certain that Jill has had numerous "injectables" put into her face. "It does make her face look too taut and not as natural," Ramona says.

Jill has admitted to going to famous cosmetic dermatologist Patricia Wexler. "Jill overdid it. It's not the best look. Too much injectables look as bad as a bad face-lift," a puzzled Ramona told me.

And it's not just the females on Bravo's hit show that are giving Jill a hard time.

Simon Van Kempen, who we often see on the show and is launching his own web series, tells me, "I certainly think it's better to age gracefully than pull yourself so tight that you can no longer show facial expressions."

Last week, Jill appeared on Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live!' sporting a distinct Madonna look. Simon sniped that "with her face the way it is now, it looks like Jill can no longer do a rendition of Madonna's 'Express Yourself.'"

Stevie Wonder can see that she had major work done on her face. I guess Rob Shuter was the (first!)one she lied to about it. How did he keep a straight face?

I'm with Ramona. Jill definately looked better before. I'm the first to admit I've had injectables but have never over done it like this. She might just have to get the bangs back to hide some of this.

When are women going to figure out that not being able to move your face is not a good look? I can't believe you suckers pay to have botulism injected so close to your brain to paralyze yourself from making any expressions so you don't look wrinkled. Get over yourselves. We know those aren't your lashes. We know that's not your real hair. People either like YOU or they don't and having your face unable to move is just going to make me think you're a vain fool clinging to your lost youth.

No doubt about it, Jill, you definately has surgery and injections. Why deny it , when it's so obvious? As a woman who has had some injections, at 51, I need a little plumping, no one would know but my girls. Your visit to the Dr. we all know.

By blkbltwife

It definitely looks like she had her nose done. It looks thinner and the nostrils are smaller as is the tip of her nose. Also if you look closely at her eyes. The crows feet are definitely gone as are the puff pouches under her eyes.She has

By M&M

Ramona should not be talking. She has had numerous injectables and plastic surgeries too, even more than any other Housewive, that's why she has big freakin' eyes because of all the work she has done at the age of 55. Jill looks great! Better than the mummy-like Bethanny and the painfully-to-look-at Alex lol

By Wids

I noticed a difference in Jill's face 2 weeks ago. She had something done... she'll be the first one to admit that HD is very unforgiving.

By TinaBna

Because Jill Zarin reads every word ever written about her we can be sure of one thing, she is probobly crying in poor Bobby's arms right now reading these posts. She is one self-absorbed JAP whose one goal in life remains to be relevant. Read my lips Jill..no matter how hard you try you will never have Bethany's success or appeal. It's karma, baby.

By Renee

You can definitely tell she has had some work done. I'm not a doctor or anything just a person that has watched the show since it's inception and there is a definite difference. Nothing wrong with making some minor changes that make her feel better about herself but to totally change your appearance and then say you did nothing. blah..I was beginning to really dislike your character, now I know I dislike you. Honesty is the best.

By momofbron

She is definitely a liar saying that she had no work done. It is so obvious. She's pulled so tight that she better not try to laugh or she'll crack! She also had a nose job - a bad nose job. Look at how wide and flat the bridge of her nose is now. I don't know why people lie about cosmetic work. Hey, if you can afford to have surgery to make/keep yourself looking good (not in her case), then bless you. I envy no one.

By Christine

It just looks like WAY to much botox.

By keepitreal

I don't think she's had any work done. It's bad lighting, bad hairstyle, and a different expression. She looks like she has shading on either side of her nose, (done with make up) She looks softer and more attractive with the bangs, her eyebrows have been changed (not a good look either, too rounded on top) And I don't see why she wouldn't own up to the work, she's admitted the breast reduction. Her nose tip is higher because she's not smiling as broadly, the neck looks the same. However I don't have the benefit of seeing her in person. She did look prettier before, and the Madonna outfit was really stupid looking, as was the ridiculous hairstyle/color.

By Elleh

I think she looks like a post-cosmetic surgery Jennifer Grey.

By moorer

She looks like a much OLDER Jennifer Grey now...this is not a good look for Jill at all..... ask for a refund.

By Nancy

She just made her face match the other women and that awful show....pure plastic

By PAT

I do not who Jill is trying to fool.
Andy Cohen caught it right away.
When she was on the show she was dressed to young for her age.

By Lloyd

She lookslike a drag queen now

By joan

Of course Jill had something done (nose, chin, injections), but that's her right. She was always a pretty woman but now seems to have gone over the edge. It's her constant lying that makes her unattractive. The first episode of the new season showed her caught in so many lies. No liar is attractive, no matter how her hair is styled or her face injected.

By Connie

No matter what Jill does. She will always be an ungly FAT Cow...
