You know what I love about this? You just know Bravo would've killed to get their hands on a Bethenny/Jill reunion moment, and instead they did it by themselves.

[@sheri4359]

This is so much better with these 2 wonderful women doing it on their own and not Bravo produced. So happy to see this interview.

[@StKildaBlvd]

Absolutely. They did this together, properly, maturely, and Bravo doesn't get a cent.

[@missybelmont9830]

You're so right, that is so funny.

[@cathyquilts2609]

💯

[@MaleOrderBride]

I always thought Bravo makes their stars sign a contract that doesn't allow them to talk about the show years later and producing their own material about the show?

[@alexisrosko9609]

You can tell Jill has matured and truly evolved based on her tone and acknowledgement of her anxiety. Bethenny needs to take a chapter out of her book. She’s still very jumpy and doesn’t let Jill get a word in edgewise

[@KitKat-qr5do]

Jill did say, she is medicated now. Nothing wrong with that, sometimes that's all you need. Bethany was very anxious.

[@jwadedesigns1858]

I am holding on because I want to hear Jill

[@tinafrompasadena3192]

being medicated helps with that

[@kimberlyerickson7107]

Bethenny is Bethenny. She knows she's on edge and acknowledges her trauma and how it informs her responses to things. Jill gets it.

[@Shay416]

Let's be honest, it a NY neurotic thing 😂 most NYC woman are like this.

[@MalcolmAblacc]

Bethany telling Jill how she feels literally every sentence she Says is aggravating because I’d love to hear Jill side not interrupt

[@breebartkowiakova]

Am I the only one here who likes Bethany but at times finds her extremely exhausting? I like her, but I can only handle her in very small doses.

[@MalcolmAblacc]

@@breebartkowiakova i totally agree! Her ego gets the best of her sometimes

[@breebartkowiakova]

@@MalcolmAblacc You should have seen Bethany on Andy Cohen's talk show a few years ago when she was comparing herself to Martha Stewart. She thinks she's on the same level as Martha. I'm sorry but comparing Bethany to Martha is like comparing a Ford to a Ferrari.

[@willowashe]

As soon as Jill said “I had an anxiety disorder”, and Bethany interrupted and said “yeah, and you were manic” I could see exactly how this would go. Jill offers up a little information, Bethany steamrolls with her own interpretation of it.

[@PatriceButler49]

Right!!!omg that was annoying

[@lq6581]

Jill genuinely cares about Bethenny! You can tell she is genuinely proud of her. Bethenny has trust issues. I don’t blame her after everything she has gone through.

[@Shay416]

Jill was good to and for Bethany...I understand Jill made some mistakes and wanted to be over involved but Bethany her being in your life would have been extremely grounding for her.

[@Hello-nl1km]

Yes Bethenny has been through alot.

[@newtexan1]

Bingo.

[@readmycomment1]

Who needs Bravo? Produce your own show ladies… 100% would watch you two xxxx

[@linkaw4363]

I wish they would!!

[@rachll7904]

YES! What a brilliant idea. Instead of the Bravo choices of ladies, you two KNOW what we want to watch in these shows. I'm tired of the fake, dripping in diamond s and evening gowns women. I want real, natural women, who are not acting like walking robots. GO FOR IT!!

[@dalestark9505]

amazing (not really) what two intelligent women can achieve without a man (andy cohen) controlling the strings.

I CANNOT watch the new HWONY ! It’s so fake 😂😂😂😂

[@lporquai9048]

Meeee tooo... I watched first 15 mins and was bored to hell

[@RobMathMiller]

I would watch a show with just Bethenny and Jill. They are infinitely more interesting and entertaining than any of the current housewives shows.

[@WJW1024]

Absolutely

[@dhutch5849]

Yes!!

[@sandrarock.5007]

Aww I feel for them both. I think Andy wasn't very nice getting her to film the funeral. Andy is very nasty person. Do anything for the money.

[@itsawildlife5502]

Yes

I'd watch these 2 women *FOREVER* seriously.... they drive me nuts and talk over each other and I adore every single second of it 🤗🤣🥰👍🌹💯🌻

[@n3493]

​@@tamaddo-carr5911 you seem a bored hater

[@somethingaboutmary21]

Wow! This was exhausting. It was great seeing them together again, but Bethenny's energy is a lot. She kept cutting Jill off. Glad they are in a better place.

[@josimpson7999]

Agreed! It was very frustrating! Bethany barely comes up for air and constantly interrupting. I would have lost it with her.

[@DeeCM58]

I agree, these ladies gave me anxiety and Bethany who I like and admire most of the time had me so annoyed with her interrupting Jill! The guest was JILL and you wanted the light to shine on her. Very disappointed.

[@_ohley]

Can we just take a moment to applaud two OG, authentic, iconic women coming back together like this!? 👏 Thank you for doing this for US and I’m so happy you did this for YOU! 🙂💗

Jill has such a calming demeanor compared to Bethany's jumpy, abrupt, controlling one. Lawd Hammercy let Jill finish a thought ffs.

[@cookiemonsterxxo007]

Bravo editing really helped her . This is coming from a former fan

[@Taki_Rad]

Totally agree!!

[@luulu8404]

Couldn’t have said it better!

[@roxiebz]

I agree, except that they both interrupt each other. It is pretty nerve-wracking.

[@paulenemaehinds9848]

I think they are working through something I real life and that’s what you are seeing. Bethany has ALWAYS been manic. I think she has ADHD. This is one reason she is so successful. Most women with ADHD come across this way because their minds are going 1000 miles an hour. Do you notice Bethany can go back to her original thought when she goes on a tangent! That’s ADHD. I am the same way. I’ll start a conversation then have another thought and need to express it so I do not forget it then I jump back and finish my original thought later. It may drive others mad but my perspective watching this is….. I get it! 😊 keep shining ladies. You are both missed on the show but I think you shine on your own. I bought all your skinny girl books but I couldn’t sustain the lifestyle. Your brands stand on their own. 🎉

[@claudiag.3036]

Jill has definitely changed for the better & grown so much. She looks genuinely at peace & happy. Bethenny is a ball of nervous energy, but I could tell she was so excited & relieved to do this. Great job, ladies. ❤

[@moonbeeps]

They should both produce a new fresh spinoff of Real Housewives, but only be producers, not actually be in it.

[@coreypar4102]

The fact that Jill had not been able to explain herself in this way about everything that happened must have been so infuriating. How she managed to still show up with love and trust for bethenny truly is a testament for how much she cares about this friendship. That is true patience, acceptance and love.

[@krystenfernandez3481]

RIGHT?!!!!! On the worst day of her life no less!!! I know this. I know this he said she said bs that can happen when you lose someone sooooooo important in your life and to not have her full support system, no words.....then to find out it was due to lies and greed from Bravo miscommunications..... a lesser person might not have survived it....let alone thrive years later.

[@jeanney21]

Yes!!!!❤

[@sharongrenier1667]

And the B is not worthy

[@joanne6086]

I adore Bethenny and love Jill. I watched the fallout many years ago, and it broke my heart then, because the friendship between these two women was real. To see them again, has made me so happy. They both have grown, and hope this is a new beginning for them. Bobby must be smiling. Good job ladies❤

[@tamerajordan2982]

Broke my heart! Poor Bobby

[@HH-gv8mx]

I hope Jill can take it easy and give Bethenny space and not crowd her too much.

[@eviep7134]

I agree 🙏💯♥️🌞😉😎

[@sarahm.4926]

YES! Plus I get the sense that they both don't have many people in their lives that they can count on to really love them for them. That's why I think Jill goes so hard for the people she considers to be her friend. I don't think she has any real connection with hardly anyone, save a handful of people and same for Bethenny. They both connected on some special level that was real and loving and you can tell that even after almost a decade and a half the love is still there, there's just been so much hurt for both. Remember, friends are our chosen family and the bond we share with strangers who become like family is just as special and real as if they were your own blood. ❤️

[@sobreezymimi7622]

Same me too

[@tamrn007]

This was my favorite friendship on RHNYC. I hated it when the friendship fell a part. I’m so glad they came back together.❤

[@Lissa1forGod]

I never saw the show…. But these two are friends and should treasure their friendship!!

[@soali2]

Bethenny, please let your guest talk. My God, the talking over Jill constantly is so annoying!

[@elohimsown9244]

She is insecure...in fact, they both are but Beth is more.

[@klavdjaroc2535]

Jill talking over Bethany like she was interesting was annoying

[@beckyr5917]

This is how New Yorkers talk. They contribute to the conversation while the other person is talking.

[@katd8051]

@@beckyr5917just bc that’s how New Yorker’s talk, it doesn’t remove the fact that it’s still super annoying. And I’ve known a lot of New Yorker’s and none of them interrupt and talk over each other this much.

[@sarahguez-sadatomo657]

When Jill says, "You love his family? You have your family now?" you can tell by her eyes that she genuinely cares about Bethenny. Jill is so patient with Bethenny and loving. Great episode!

[@Shay416]

Honestly, I loved the way Jill was with Bethany. I think Bethany has grown and healed as a woman and they are finally able to be at peace and apart of each other's lives. This is why we tuned in, not for the bs drama and catty foolishness

[@michelleelmore5533]

Yes after she got humbled but she still claims to not know why she was let go from the franchise? She knows full well why. Glad Jill and Bethanny can bury the hatchet and move on.

[@Kathleenpoors]

Jill was a self centered crummy friend.

[@rsingh9900]

Bethany do not deserve Jill. She treated her badly all these 13 years. Run Jill Run

[@Catalyna]

You can tell by her eyes she is medicated , she prolly don't care enough about Bethenny with how Beth treated her these 13 years and is more interested in the spotlight

[@NadiaG4]

I have never been so proud of two women. Time does heal wounds. BRAVO.

[@pamsheppard7998]

Agree but Jill still talks over people. She hasn’t learned to listen to understand. She listens to reply.

[@chadwolfe3875]

I think Jill and Bethany both do it, they have similar personalities. Not faulting either lady

[@materialgirl338]

😅keep it Real

[@deborah4579]

Let’s face it. Who didn’t want Jill and Bethany to be ok with each other? There was always a lot of love there which is why when their relationship fractured it was shocking for those who adored them together. This was enjoyable to watch. Jill is definitely much calmer and they both have been through great emotional upheavals. Both are in better places.

[@en6278]

Monetized Podcasts heal wounds you mean. Bethenny would never have bothered doing this off camera. Nor do I believe theyll stay friends. Christmas cards at best

[@cate4338]

Jill was so gracious - she didn't argue with what she knew to be Beth's 'version' of what's up.

[@julespesci02]

ironically. when Jill does, she's usually right.

[@oneitalia2312]

((cate - believe me, "Bethenny" will correct you for calling her Beth....... she will say to you, "Is saying " Bethenny" really that hard?"

Jill, you have come a long way and glow with inner peace and love. Bethenney, I hope you can find peace like that for yourself someday. Jill really loves you and it may serve you to take her up on her friendship. It is genuine…That is what you have always searched for…it is in front of you✨💞

[@TruthIsNot4Sale]

It seems Jill genuinely adores Bethany it’s hard not to I hope they can remain friends forever

[@annhenry3135]

I agree with you but Jill doesn’t have the character required to not be jerked around by her pride. What we are witnessing is a combination of groveling and justification for bad behavior.

[@beatley689V]

​@parkplace1570 I know people just like that (JZ). You are so right!!!

[@HauteCoco]

Bethenny has a narrative in her head that she’s holding onto for dear life. Sometimes you just have to get out of your own head and take in what the other person is expressing without interjecting.

[@bajacowgirl3170]

One tip Bethenny: when you interview people, let them talk.

[@OrgulloYCultura]

I have been catching up with Bethenny's podcast and that is one thing I have notice too.. Specially Nene's podcast.. Knowing how Nene is (strong present) take this it in positive Bethenny lol and don't take it in a negative way. Put it to practice; to let others talk little more and do more listing. Because that is the purpose of a podcast to let the guess speak bring your side of the story or view on things..

[@deboramccallum3987]

Jill: "wait, let me answer the question" in beginning..telling

[@Jakeyysaurus]

After reading some of these comments, I just want to say that I understand that they (Bethenny) interrupt each other a lot, but this is VERY Jill and Bethenny on the show when they were close. I don’t think either one was annoyed about it during this podcast. They are working through so much and they both have SO many thoughts going through their heads. People are saying Bethenny is too controlling, but she’s also trying to cover all these topics in a way that makes sense (Jill does tend to ramble and go off on tangents). I think this was a beautiful moment, and I think it’s awesome.

[@julesmisty]

Me too ❤❤

[@tann6971]

Jill is very genuine, she made mistakes and she owns them.

[@viva5526]

I rewatched the episodes that ended their relationship. It was basically that Jill thought it was her show. She thought she was untouchable and with that treated Bethenny like crap and made it ALL about herself (the poor me act). It backfired on her and eventually got fired. But I'm happy they came together. Jill needed the time to grow up and not be so self centered.

[@user-kf1st7vg4q]

Shame Bethanny can't state the same

[@southernbelladonna78]

That's because Jill will say whatever she has to sometimes to be part of things. She'll do it all again, lol. Because that's who she is.

[@minimalist2036]

Well, she kinda has to

[@niclesnyc]

She doesn't own a lot of things, she was told by Alex on the show that B's dad was dying, and she still denies it, which is not really relevant, so she is just in denial for something that isn't even important, and she brings it up!

[@anniec.]

This is fucking amazing and I do believe each are telling the truth (as they both remember it)..I am so happy to see them back together! Thanks so much for putting it on KZbin in its entirety. ❤💜

[@bush6202]

it has to b about Bethenny otherwise its not worth talking about it seems

[@jja8750]

This is what they do. They both love to talk and they both trip over each other trying to get out their story. I think they both know it about each other and that they both do it, themselves. I actually love that about them.

[@josephfarrell483]

They do it to each other

[@1bwash]

Bethenny has a major blindspot for the gap that exists between who she thinks she is and who she actually is. For someone who brands herself as this straight shooting, no nonsense type of person, she has really failed in remaining grounded. I know they're just metaphors but constantly framing the situation as a battle between the two best basketball players, how she wanted to be the Beyonce, etc. is just a lot. Housewives is not that serious. Yes, Bethenny is incredibly popular as a housewife, but how many solo shows has Bethenny failed with? It's actually bizarre to ice people out, especially Jill as the opportunities roll in. Bethenny doesn't have to be forever indebted to Jill, but there should be a concept of loyalty. The loyalty stopped existing when Jill didn't have anything to offer Bethenny. So the stories can be spun and retold however, but the fact remains that when Jill has plenty, she shared it. When Bethenny was the one with plenty, she withheld it.

[@sharongrenier1667]

A trainwreck.

[@MaleOrderBride]

Thank you!! Bethenny talks like she is the Master Housewife who was the most successful...and Jill and the others are beneath her....but Bethenny had a failed Talk Show, failed Apprentice type show, failed Real Estate show with Frederick, failed...she's actually a big loser who isn't as entrepreneurial as she thinks she is. I would say LVP is probably the most successful Housewife due to her booming restaurants outside of the show.

[@TombCat]

@@katewest130 Bethenny is obnoxious. Sometimes obnoxious people are funny. For a while. That fluid nature turns to rock with age. She has a number of evident personality disorders that she has managed to make work for her. But she is not a kind person. She is rich enough that she never has to be listen to anyone again. And she doesn't really. Kindness matters. Bethenny is inflexible to the point that NO ONE is having a nice time. SO DEFENSIVE. I bet her therapist finds her exhausting.

Totally agree. Bethenny took a leap of faith, she was very burned by Jill and it is difficult to trust when you feel burned. Having said that I think Jill has always had genuine caring feelings for Bethenny and she has definitely calmed down and evolved. They went through a lot together, I hope they have both found peace.

Jill is a good friend and one you would want- and should want- to keep.

Pushed her to get married? What Bull S**T! Bethany is the quintessiental text book narcissist- every horrible failure in her life is SOMEONE ELSES FAULT! If this is true-she should give Bravo credit for the birth of her daughter.

[@robingrl23]

I’m so sick of Andy Cohen his disrespect to people “your Brazilian” reference to John. It’s so objectifying. These housewives shows typically stereotype woman as the ugliest of humans. The encouragement of marrying for Bethany to have a televised wedding. It is so sad B didn’t have Jill and Bobby as a touchstone as someone else mentioned. We need to support each other. Andy needs to be put in check.

[@carolwhitham3094]

WoW. So, I always blamed Jill for what happened on RHoNY. It was very enlightening/sad to learn how situations were manipulated by early ambitions and the production company. Jill owned her stuff and really seemed in a better place during Bethenny's questioning. And Bethenny seemed to soften a bit after finding out things she didn't know. This was wonderful to watch. Thank you, Jill for being vulnerable, and thank you Bethenny for airing this on YT. Praying that your relationship will only flourish from here, not in to what it was, but something even more beautiful. (PS- You read it here first that there will be some kind of collaboration that will make both J&B even more successful) ♥

I've always loved bethenny and Jill together, they were the only reason I used to watch the show. Bethenny reminds me so much of myself, coming from trauma you learn to build walls around you to protect yourself and sadly we build them so high we trap ourselves in them, no wonder we struggle to breathe. Anyone coming to chisel away at them I can guarantee you were working a thousand times harder to fill them cracks right back up, no wonder we become so exhausted. Sometimes we just need to be left alone to breathe. Massive love to you both. All my love from the UK 👌

I broke into tears, I saw the very first episode of real housewives of New York and I saw everything that went down and other than my wanting a real reunion with the Supremes my whole life, I wanted to see the friendship get repaired between Bethany and Jill. I’m happy they’re on the road to healing and becoming probably the best of friends again. Good luck to you both and it was a pleasure watching this whole segment from beginning to end how you both communicate it’s difficult for people to understand at times but only the two of you can talk like this. I believe you both made housewives of New York what it was because your spectacular tastes and you both are funny. Good luck to you and I wish nothing but the best for all of you

This comment is made before seeing the podcast. Back then it was so painful watching Jill tank their relationship. They seemed so close. Jill allowed Luanne to get in her head.

Well, we have waited a long time for this! As an original NY housewives fan this is long overdue. Jill never stopped loving Bethenny. I always felt that. I know it took Bethenny awhile due to her past. And she was hurt by Jill, another woman in her life that hurt her. I really hope they can have a healthy relationship now that the show it over. Jill must remember not to crowd her, just give her space. They will be just fine🙏 I am absolutely so happy.

[@gailgorenflo3501]

Bethenny is smart and her mind goes a million miles an hour and then so does her mouth. It's like she thinks it and has to say it immediately. She would benefit from just zipping it until the other person was done with what they were saying. I think she calmed herself toward the end. It was good to see them back together. .

[@anthonyprather1670]

It’s the quick, concise delivery and unspoken pieces within the conversation that doesn’t need much explaining between them.. where one stops to allow the other to speak and grasp understanding towards their individual sides of said experiences previously had which makes this amazing!
