Bravo's original Lucy and Ethel, the friendship between these two was the main delight in the first two seasons of The Real Housewives of New York City. But by the start season three, something had seriously shifted in this relationship and we were forced to watch in real time as a friendship fell all the way apart. Was it hurt feelings over Bethenny's rising star that did them in? Or was it Bethenny's alleged distancing herself from Jill that drove a wedge? Whatever the case may be, it was brutal and by season's end, there appeared to be little hope for a reconciliation. And, despite he tragic passing of Jill's beloved husband Bobby that seemed to bring about a thawing in this cold war in 2018, we expect it'll likely stay that way.
