Jill Zarin: Cried for 3 Days After Party Crashing

Jill Zarin tells UsMagazine.com she still can't get over the frosty reception she received surprising Ramona Singer, Alex McCord and Bethenny Frankel on vacation in the Virgin Islands.

"It was such a Mean Girls moment that I literally cried for like two or three days," she tells Us. "They didn't offer me a glass of water or a bathroom! We had just traveled nine hours, and they knew it. I had to pee! You have no idea what a schlep it was. Schlep doesn't even describe it!"

Zarin, 46, originally told Singer, 53, she wouldn't go on the trip -- which was to celebrate Singer's marriage vow renewal -- because of her feuds with Frankel, 39, and McCord, 36. But she tells Us she decided to swing by on her way to St. Bart's to declare: "'I'm here to make up with everybody!'"

Zarin says Singer and McCord refused to give her a chance to explain.

"Alex was the one to really throw me out," she tells Us. "If she said, 'I don't care‚' then Ramona would have had me stay. [And] why didn't Ramona say to Alex, 'Jill is my friend. She should have called, but I'm not throwing her out'?"

Says Zarin, "It was the most hurtful thing that's ever happened to me."

Kelly Bensimon's "Out-of-Body Experience"



On Thursday's The Real Housewives of New York City, Kelly Bensimon attempts to explain her infamous May 20 show meltdown -- but only leaves her pals even more confused.

Sitting with Jill Zarin, LuAnn de Lesseps and Jennifer Gilbert, Bensimon, 42, says she lashed out at costars Ramona Singer, Alex McCord, Sonja Morgan and foe Bethenny Frankel during a trip to the Virgin Islands because they were gossiping too much.

"From the minute we were together, it was everything that I hate – talking badly about people," she begins.

(Oddly, she then starts gossiping about Frankel, 39: "She’s, like, a cook and everything like that, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘I mean, not one person that I know has ever hired her as a cook.'")

Bensimon says she was "so over tired" and "feeling sick" when she snapped (among her quips: She called Frankel a "ho bag"). "I was drinking this wine – I never drink wine – and I was sitting in this room with these women. I just wanted to get out of there," she says. "... It was an out-of-body experience."

In the end, the ladies still had no clarity about what actually went down.

Says de Lesseps, 45: "By the end of Kelly’s story about the trip, I was so confused. I mean, I just didn’t get it. I had to hear the other side of the story."
