If you're waiting for one of the ladies recently ousted from The Real Housewives of New York City to throw a hissy fit...you'll have to keep waiting.

Jill Zarin, who along with Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord and Cindy Barshop, was not invited back for another season of the Bravo series, appears to be taking the news in stride.

What'd she have to say?

"I've had four amazing years on The Real Housewives of New York City," the married, liquid-facelift-fancying fabric store owner wrote on her website. "I'm grateful for the experiences and friendships I've made on the show. I've certainly learned a lot about myself and others. The show has decided to take a different direction and unfortunately I will not be a part of Season five."

Bravo announced last month that the planned shooting schedule for season five had been pushed back while it sorted out "production details that needed to be finalized."

To put it mildly.

Zarin wrote that she's received messages of support from all over the place that have meant the world to her, "more than you could ever know."

And she's got news!

"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," Zarin revealed. "I will also be making personal appearances around the country promoting my new line of shapewear and leggings called SKWEEZ COUTUR."

If she flipped a table in a rage upon hearing the news, she flipped in private.
