Last night on Real Housewives of New York City, we got to see a little bit more of the newest housewife, Jennifer Gilbert, who was introduced last week as Jill‘s party planner. First, she got some great zingers in at Kelly‘s Gotham magazine trendsetters party, then we got to see the inside of her Tribeca apartment as she hosted the ladies for a cocktail party that turned into a shouting match.
If nothing else, Jen proved that she has a knack for saying what we’re thinking as we sit at home on our couch. “I have never met a bunch of women who have more fucking issues,” Jen pronounced on last night’s episode, sitting high atop some booths at The Eldridge in a sequined top and jeans. Later in the night came another gem: “Whoever LuAnn’s date is, he has bad hair and is gay.”
Jen told Crushable that what you see is what you get with her. “Everybody says, ‘Oh, they edit you so badly.’ They really don’t,” she told us. “These women are these women. And if you say something — I say a couple of comments that are pretty funny, one of them is not so nice. It’s really me being me. I’ve got to own it. I said it. I had a moment when I was being Jen Gilbert who’s out with her girlfriends making a comment about something that I thought was pretty hilarious. So I can’t go back and say, ‘Oh, they edited me terribly.’ I said it! It’s fair game.”
Although we’ll probably be seeing more as the season progresses — she attended LuAnn‘s CD release party and Ramona‘s vow renewals, she told Crushable — don’t count on seeing Jennifer get down and dirty with any of the other housewives. “I’m not there to stir up the pot, they have enough of that,” she told us. They have enough women being horribly, horribly not nice to each other. So that was not the goal for me. I think the goal was to be relatable and for people to have a break from all of it. I watch it as a viewer and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, enough already!’”
What did you think of the new housewife? Do you think she’ll be a welcome addition and a calming force, or do you like watching the crazy happen?

I thought she was a great addition to the show. She is very Beautiful and very smart. Ive heard her speak and I was very impressed by what she had to say
about the show and the other woman. She is Awesome, I also heard she was not asked to return to the show for next yr? Bad Move.
Did not think much of her b4 but after the finale I really think she is disgusting! She made a rude comment about Ramonas wedding planner right in front of her then turns her head to say hello with a fake smile, god I hope she doesnt come back next season that turned me off.
The first time I watched the episode, I thought she was saying that Alex had a bad hair day and Simon was gay(Sonja had just told Alex she was having a good hair day)–I didn’t hear it very well. I watched again and did think it was funny–definitely something I would have said to one of my friends in a similar situation. With all that is going on in that show, we could use some comic relief. Looking forward to seeing more of her and Sonja.
Good for her! I feel like reality stars always talk about being poorly edited and don’t seem to realize that they can only show stuff you actually did.
“Whoever LuAnn’s date is, he has bad hair and is gay.”
OK, that is priceless. And true.
Nice Pantry!!!
also she wore a awesome Top at the Eldridge that I simply adored it was like tiny tiny little sparkley mirrors
I really liked Jennifer on the show last night. I thought she added a very real voice — I totally thought LuAnn’s date was gay, too! And later when she tried to moderate the fight between Jill and Ramona, I thought she did exactly what I would have tried to do in that situation. This season of RHONYC has been nutso, it’s so nice to have a sense of calm. I totally relate to her.
