‘Real Housewives’ Star Slams Hollywood’s Response To Hostages, Says She Can’t ‘Understand It’

“Real Housewives of New York” star Jill Zarin slammed Hollywood’s response to the Israeli hostages and said she can’t “understand it,” as dozens are still being held captive nearly 500 days after the Hamas terrorist attack in October 2023.

Speaking to Fox News, the 61-year-old reality star and friend of President Donald Trump reflected on Trump’s second inauguration, and said it “wasn’t a Hollywood scene, for sure.”

“It was definitely big business in the house,” Zarin said. “And that’s OK. I’m sorry that Hollywood can’t even get behind getting the hostages home. I just don’t understand it. They’re not wearing a yellow ribbon, but when there were other things in the world, you know, hashtag … Michelle Obama, hashtag, get the girls home.”

“I mean, what do you do? Do you have no Jewish friends?” she added. “Do you know Jewish friends in the world? Really? That you can’t, like, use your voice to help get these innocent … and the baby? I mean, it’s just a … blows my mind. And you know what? I’m not going to stay silent anymore.”

“Sometimes it’s very isolating when you speak out, but people are contacting me, saying, ‘Thank you for being the voice because everybody else is so afraid,’” Zarin continued. “But don’t be. More than half the country voted not just for him, but for the House and the Senate.”

The reality star said she doesn’t agree “100% with anybody’s policies” and that she probably doesn’t even “agree with things” she thought were good a few years ago.

“What I thought was good five years ago, I don’t agree with Jill five years ago,” Zarin said. “I definitely don’t agree with me 20 years ago. I’ve gotten a little more conservative as I’ve aged. I’m not going to lie because I’ve learned a lot. I’ve seen a lot.”

The comments come following the release of the first three hostages under Israel and Hamas’ hostage and ceasefire deal. Three Israeli women — Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari — arrived home on Sunday safely after 471 days in captivity, as previously reported.
