Recently axed Real Housewife of New York, Jill Zarin is speaking out against the program that helped launch her reality TV career.

And Mama Jill ain’t holding nothin’ back.

In an interview with Good Morning America, Zarin opened up about her four season with the BRAVO network and how it felt to be canned from one of the most successful reality franchises in television history.

It was a little jolting. I’ll be honest… It didn’t feel good… Nobody likes to not be asked back to the party.

Party?  Hmmm…  I may be a little off the mark here, but the last thing Season 3 of RHONY looked like, was a party.

While Zarin is definitely playing the victim, acting like the firings were intentionally designed to ruin her career, BRAVO says the departure was “friendly” and issued a statement saying,

We’ve had a fabulous run with all the ladies and appreciate them sharing their lives with our viewers.

Friendly?  Not quite, says Zarin, who claims the network spurred on the unhealthy battles between Housewives,

There’s no question there was fighting going on… But I believe the format of the show encourages that. And even if someone doesn’t say to you to have a fight or whatever, you feel like you’re supposed to.  The ratings encourage that… It’s a toxic environment. It took me months to come down from it.

Although Jill seems deeply wounded by being asked to leave the show that made Zarin Fabrics a household name, she hasn’t stopped promoting her TV career, issuing a teaser to her fans via her website.

For all the people who have supported me and wished me well, you can see me on a new show that will be announced soon.

God help us all.
