I guess Jill Zarin has watched the tapes enough to see she needs to do some major work on herself before she tries to return to television. After she bullied and treated everyone on the show except her bestie Louann like crap all season she and her family received nasty emails, phone calls and even a few death threats.

Hey, you don’t mess with a pregnant and hormonal Bethenny Frankel and get away with it.

While it’s unsure if anyone other than Ramona and Alex will return to The Real Housewives of New York City next city, Jill has gone so far as to say that “she doesn’t want to go back to the show.”

“[Jill] said there were compelling reasons to not return.She wants to go on a spiritual journey!”

She totally needs to do an Eat Pray Love thing next year and get her mean girl self back to Brooklyn! Go Team Alex!

I have now officially lost all respect for The Real Housewives of New York Countess Louann de Lesseps. In fact, I will nevermore refer to her as Countess.

Her kids must be humiliated.

Go auto-tuner!

The most hate of the Housewives of the New York franchise is getting naked in the March 2010 of Playboy magazine.

Is she hedging her bets in case she gets fired from the show? Is she really so vain that she wants everyone to see her naked? I don’t get it. This is not typical behavior for a Real Housewife. Well, except for that unfortunate nude photo of Alex from season one…but Alex and Simon don’t really count.

Not even the Jersey girls are getting naked in Playboy. I can’t wait to see what the Countess has to say about this.

There are few more NSFW pictures after the jump.

Betthany and Ramona are probably laughing their skinny girl asses off right now. Everyone on The Real Housewives of New York has been getting soooo over Luann De Lesseps and her whole “call me Countess- I’m-writing-a-book-on-etiquette” thing she ‘s got going on. So the fact that her husband the Count has just dumped her for an Ethiopian chick is bound to make the NY gals snicker a little bit.

“She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her.”

Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated,” the close friend told Page Six. “They have basically lived apart for many years — he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen.

“It has been very rough for her and the children [Victoria and Noel], but she’s taking the high road and will remain friends with him,” the source added. “She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She’s just trying to come to terms with [the separation and impending divorce]. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace.”

Perhaps Luann should teach the Count some manners. Ending a 15 year marriage through email is so plebean. Luann’s new condescending book Class with the Countess will still be published next month…although she won’t be a Countess for much longer.
