After being in the top 3% of Realtors worldwide for years, the transition to my salary being cut two-thirds hurt! My expenses and payments on the big house were over $20,000. Washington Mutual/Chase helped me immensely getting my loan modified on my main house; GMAC worked with Shane and was also great to work with. My friends with the smaller banks lost their homes. It pays to stay with the big boys. There needs to be more regulation on overdraft fees. College kids live close to the line all the time and a 7-dollar sushi roll can cost 35 in overdraft fees. Those lessons kids can do without learning! Most of my friends are in the same situation so we have movie nights and BBQs at my house. We will some day laugh at all this I hope.

Everyone thinks something awful happened between Vicki and I. I was sad when I saw that Vicki had said I was toxic on the premiere. I can’t imagine what would have caused her to say that. I hope next week explains why she would say something so mean. When time is valuable, you have to focus on what makes you feel good and what makes you money. I really needed support mentally; I have never been through a depression before. My savior was Rebecca and Tom Ferry my business coach. Rebecca Voss got me out of the house and Christina Cody and John Ellis got me working out. I am still taking Duzoxin! Tom Ferry got me a book agent and a ghostwriter to write a book about my life. It took about three months to shake out of my funk.I felt I was always there for Vicki, through thick and thin and she wasn’t there for me.

Dinner at St. Regis was the first time I had seen the girls in months, and I was upset that Lynne’s beautiful night was spoiled. Tamra and Gretchen both have legitimate beef with each other, but it is time to grow up and move on. Tamra may have started it months ago, but they are both are guilty of taking there troubles with each other to the blogs.

Jeana, you have always been my favorite and I'm so sorry to see you go. I've watched the show since the beginning, and I have to say you have more class than all the others put together. I wish you the best with your book and your life. Live, love & enjoy. You deserve it! We'll miss you! And will watch for the book. Take care!

Jeana,
Stay positive and hold your head high. I truly enjoyed watching you on HW. I know what it is like to lose everything, to try and pick up the pieces. I am still after 3 loooong years trying to get myself on track after a harsh divorce.

I take each day as it comes and never look past that day. I one day will have it all and right now I am just grateful for my twins who will be graduating this year and for realizing that I am a STRONG woman. So if anyone has anything negative to say to you just remember...they are traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaash!!! Best of Luck...

I must say that you and Lori have always been my favorite housewives. I'm sad to see you go but understand why.

Too me you treat your family more like a family. You respect your children but at the same time you support them. Lori was the same way. I guess that is why I consider you two more like true house wives.

I wish you and your family well but will miss you.

I have to say I am very proud of you for standing up for you and taking this step ! I really am sad that your going but understand your move 100 % I think the show has become to drama filled instead of the focus of highly sucessful women and that makes me sad . But I think you rock and I high five you being brave enough to move forward and stay strong . You seem to me the only one on the show that says what she means and sticks to being a lady kudos for you .
Be safe in all you do and I wish you well .

Dear Jeana,
I was pretty bummed out when I heard you were leaving the RHOOC. You are my favorite. I hope things are better for you now. The kindness in you eyes reminds me so much of the kindness and love I see in my mom's eyes. The love you have for you children is awesome. Remember to take care of yourself. You will be missed and I HOPE you are in a much better place. Buena Suerte to you and your family. Looking forward to your book!!

Hi Jeanna
This is a new viewer of the show, have you thought about doing classes in real estate? teaching other people the pros and cons abnout the business? What to look for and stuff like that? just giving you ideas... take care

Hey again- I just had an idea after watching the show again.. maybe you should consider doing a talkshow..huh.?? think about it.. People seem to really be into your personality on the show..

Jeana- you are the reason I watch this show, I will be sadden by your departure. Everyone is experiencing the effects of this troubling economy.Don't let this get you down keep your head up and know that it will all work out. As for Vicki not being there when you needed her most is aweful, times like this are when we find out who our true friends are. Keep the Faith. And listen to your baby boy he is an awesome youngman.

God Bless.

Jeana you seem to be the most level headed woman on the show. You are a realist.I sure will miss you on the show. It's too bad that the other OCHW can't be as CLASSEY as you! Best wishes!

Jeana,
You were the only reason we wathced the show, you seem to be the most real and middle of the road of all the housewives. We are going to miss you and I am glad to hear you are doing better, I too am a Real Estate Broker and too have had a life change, but as you said you have to reinvent yourself and move foreward, I took on specialized in short sales and foreclosures, and wow I thought I had been hit hard by the times untill I started hearing what my clients have been through. This too shall pass! I hope you make it back to the show!

Jeana, you are a class act. I'm sorry to see you go. God Bless you, and please check in every once in a while. I really think that Vicki and Tamra are the toxic ones. Their true colors are coming out, more and more. I'm shocked that Vicki threw you under the bus. She's no friend.

Jeana,

I think you are amazing woman. I love watching you and your family on bravo. I will miss you, so much. You are so very right that you can not be friends with your kids. You have to be a parent to them and teach them the right and wrong way of life. I am sorry you are having a hard time right now. But I know you will come out of with flying color, and you will be so much stronger for it. I have watched the show for 5 years. I think you are so real not like most of the other women on the show. But I can understand why you feel you have to leave the show. I hope we get to see you more in other things. Myself can not understand why they have to be so mean and cold hearted in the things they say and sometimes do. I don't understand why vicky is so mean and says hurtful things about you. I thought she was your best friend. But you know what people say what goes around comes around. You treat people how you want to be treat yourself. True friends are there for each other when they are having a hard time and when there lifes are going great. Please know that I will be saying prayers for you and your family. Take care and be strong always.

I will miss you on the show and wish you and your family all the best. I think you are a great mom and your kids are very well grounded despite the pratfalls that can come with growing up with so much given to them because of wealth. They certainly seem to have the right values and character! That is a great accomplishment these days and you should be proud. I can also relate to the depression and have experienced it in my life - Keep going girl - you have all the tools!

Jenna you have been my favorite all time housewife since day one of the show. I hate to see you go, you were the "nice" one........you brought something special to the show. You were never mean or spiteful....you were always the voice of reason. I will miss you and I don't even think I will watch after you are gone. I wish all the best for you......YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!

You are truly my favorite housewife and the only reason I watch the show. It sounds like you are moving to a healthier place mentally and I admire you for your courage. I am disapointed in Vicki...yes, you have been there for her, but when you needed suppport, where was she? I, too have had a friend like that. I had to come to terms that it was not me and that I needed to move on. I was really happy to see Kara's change in her life. She is just like her momma! Good luck to you! We will miss you!

Jeana, you are such a classy lady. You've always been my favorite housewife of all regions, even ATL, where I am from! I'm so sorry that you have left the show, but I understand and wish all of the best for you. You have a beautiful spirit and God will continue to bless you. I don't want to say mean things about Vicki, but I think a dose of hard times would teach her some compassion. I will miss you so much and I will pray that I get to see you again. I don't have heat right now as I can't afford natural gas. I make the best of it and keep my class in tact. I learned that from you. :)

Jeana,I'm sad to hear about your financial and health issues. I've been a fan of the show since season one and from the first few episodes, I could see you're a good and kind hearted person. I concur with the other viewers, I don't invest too much energy on Vicki's comment that you're a toxic person. Just stay focus on your beautiful family and true friends. Keep the faith and I'm sure you'll survive this crisis. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. You're such a classy and beautiful lady!!! You'll be missed.

Jeanna,

You were the only housewife I ever thought would be worth knowing. Sorry for what you're going through.

Hey, start reading www.thedailyreckoning.com - even the archives. It will help you to understand this economy. They predicted it years ago. Also read anything by Peter Schiff you can find. Order his books. Look at his web site. Go to You Tube and watch his videos. He also predicted this economy and gives great advice on what to expect (it will get worse) and what to do.

I love the story about your high school classmate. That is love.

God bless you and your family.

Jeana:
Like I told NeNe, I see you and I see your pain. Of all the Housewives, I relate the very most with you. We are givers, we give from our heart, and we never ask for anything. I cannot tell you how sorry I am that Vicki did not help you when you truly needed it, but I will tell you the very thing happened to me. It stumps us, it confuses us to a point that we feel we can't survive, but survive we must. Focus on your children, own your pain, and release yourself of the 'toxic' self centered people you have previously surrounded yourself with. It's a rare gift to have so many people come when you need them, embrace their love and know how much you are loved. You have a beautiful heart, continue to share it with others, what else can happen, but good.

Jeana you are the reason I started watching ANY of the housewives shows. For starters you have beautiful children. Your boys are gorgeous and your daughter is just beautiful. Everytime you talk or I read a blog it's like having someone you can relate to talk to you. You choose your words well and you seem to not cause a whole bunch of conflict. In this day I didn't think could feel so hopeless. My fiance had lost his job and my once comfortable lifestyle became uncomfortable but you gotta move forward. I love your strength in so many ways. Because it is embarassing to fall out of your comfort zone but you've been for the most part fairly well about it all.

Jeana - you're an accepting, respectful, gentle, and caring woman. You were never petty or jealous like so many of the others proved to be. Good for you for handling yourself with such class.

OMG! Please dont leave!!!! You are the BEST housewife!!! I have loved watching you and your family. Kara makes my daughter and I laugh...she is sooooo funny. My 18 year old daughter is soooo much like her! Love girls that are down to earth like they both are! I wish you well on your future plans and will say a prayer for you and your beautiful family. Take care and God bless!

Jeana, you were always my favorite, but after the reunion and then this show, you cant stand up for the victim 24/7. Sometimes you just gotta let the cards play out and let people say what they need to say, contantly trying to be the middle woman, it goes nowhere. Sad to hear of your financial crisis, hope it all gets better, and i hope you find love, will hate to see you leave, but we understand why. Good luck!!!

Jeana,

I'm sorry that you are going through some tough time, being in the industry myself I understand why you are leaving the show. I want you to know you are the best housewife and the reason I still watch the show. I wish you the best and hope you return.

Best Wishes,

Jeana;

Say it aint so????? Youo leaving the show is sad news for me. I've been watching since day one. You and Laurie were my favorites because you are not vindictive, vicious nor fake. Something about the two of you was so pure and decent. You are a kind and gentle soul. Had I had the money and the amount you needed was all I had in the world, I would have given it to you. What is so sad is those who turned their back on you. From experience, I see where this will go with them. They will be in the same position. I hope and pray they at least have people show more compassion towards them then they show others. I will miss not seeing you. I adore you. Hope you find peace, love and prosperity.

Jeana, I am so sorry to see you leaving the show! I hope that the door has been left open for you to return at some point. You have always been the heart of the show, the voice of reason, and one of the only housewives who has shown genuine care and warmth toward others. Other cast members, with the exception of Gretchen and Lynne, are so vain, career driven and self obsessed that it's uncomfortable to watch. It just won't be the same without you. Many blessings on this new adventure, Jeana. I hope to see you on television again soon.

I am really disappointed to hear that Jeanna will no longer be a part of the show. She brought a lot of real life truth to the series and was the most genuine and sincere characters to follow throughout the seasons and even out of all the other "Real Housewive" series. From my understanding, she is one of the first cast members of the "Real Housewives" series/franchises. It's never fun to see an original housewife leave the show and be replaced by a wannabe reality show personality. I'll miss Jeanna, hearing about her family, and the real life issues that she's experiencing that many other people go through. It's easy to connect with her because she is real.

Jenna, I have not watch many of these season shows, as we no longer get the Bravo station, but occasionally on slow day I will glance at few on the computer. I am particularly Stunned at Vickie - she needs to watch her own behavior. I am very happy that you are leaving the program - moving forward with the kindness and support of good friends. You in particular need to leave Vickie and her nastiness behind, move all your money matters away from her - and hold your head up high. Remember cream always rises to the top. Move forward, embrace your health, your happiness and remember less can be more. Good wishes to you, your beauty will be missed.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!!!!!. I have hovered between poor and lower middle class my entire life and i know how hard it can be. hang in there and keep your head held high because you are a classy lady and with or without alot of money no one can take that away from you. I have always believed that no matter how hard it gets as long as you wake up with clothes to wear, a roof to sleep under and food to eat you are doing ok.

Hi Jeana! I am very sorry to see you leaving the show. You have remained true to yourself and down to earth then entire time you've been on the show, and I suspect that the Jeana we see on screen is the Jeana that we would know in real life, if were lucky enough to actually meet you.

As for this lousy economy, hang in there, girl. It'll turn around - I truly believe the worst is behind us. You are going to bounce back better than ever! True fact!! :-)

Take care, Jeana! We'll miss you! (I'm speaking for the other RHOC pro-Jeana viewers, too.) :-)

Jeana-

I was mortified last night by the end of the show. I can not believe how badly everyone was treating one another. And especially how you were treated.

I think you brought the only reality to this show. You and your family were a real family no matter what problems you had. And you always showed class and heart in everything you did.

You are such a special person and deserve such happiness in your life. Things may be hard now but you will find down the road that it all made you stronger and you are better off for it.

Keep your chin up and be proud to have REAL true friends who love and care for you for who you are and not what you can give them. I really will miss you on the show.

Many prayers for you and your family.

You seem to be handling it with the love and support of your family. Take care and God Bless. I will definitely miss you on the show.

Jeana, Jeana, Jeana! I am so proud of the woman you have become over the past 5 seasons! I have been a faithful viewer since the get-go and since then you have always been my favorite...hands down. You have gone and/or are going through a rough time right now but you embody the term "grace under pressure." You are real, you stand up for what you believe in (even if its the underdog), and you value your family and friendships. I admire the way you treat people and your beauty. As you mentioned in your blog, people have come out of the woodworks to support your family in this time of need. They are doing this because you have impacted their life in one way or another. Keep it up, girl! I am looking forward to a great season! Bring it on Housewives!

MrsRager

Jeana, I've loved watching you share your life with us from day one. As one of the original wives, I will be very sorry to see you go this season. But I completely understand your situation. And I must commend you for sharing that very private part of your life this year. It finally shows REALITY. Not everyone has money to just throw away on vacations, clothes, jewelry, and cars. And for someone like myself who is really feeling the tough economic times right now, that can all get very redundant and ridiculous. Even if I had all of that money, I would never go crazy with it like some of the women on this series. And I must say, I am appalled at Vicki's attitude toward you in such a trying time. People like that will get theirs when they least expect it, and I hope she feels the same heartbreak when her friends with money won't come to her aid. Anyhow, I truly wish you all the best and know you and your family will overcome any troubles you may be facing.

Hi Jeana, I ment to comment right after I saw the show.I truely believe you and maybe two of your peers are genuine. On the last season you was exercising. Watching your diet. You actually inspired me to do the same. I understand you are going through a tough time. I want you to know that in actuality you are bless. I do hope you see that. I believe you have a warm heart. You have made a wonderful life for you and your kids. I am a fifty year old who lives in a 2/1 in miami( 750 sq ft BOX). I to want the best for my family. I am a counselor in a mental rehab facility, making 34,000 yearly, just making it. Sometimes i feel like crap. I know I deserve much more, but it is, what it is for now. I am new in Miami, and being 50, well, no young chick here, so it hard. One day I was driving home from work, tired and stress I saw a mother with her handycap daughter. Bueatiful little girl, with blonde hair, smiling. I felt sick. I felt that I was so selffish, thinking I have problems. And here is a family that no matter the pain, they was laughing and enjoying thier time together. And that is an important lesson. Your life. Live it, feel it, love it. Live now, and enjoy what you do have. anything else doesn't matter. So Jeana, get back on the tred mill. Excerise realises stress and gives you energy. I want to see the jeana that values her existants. You are bueatiful!

Jeanna, so sad to hear you are leaving. You are the only sane one and the only one with class. This market has affected all of us, I am also an Agent in California and have had to restructure my expenses. You are a great person and this too will pass. You are so fortunate to have such understanding kids. This experience will give them a valuable life lesson. You a wonderful mother.

Jeana - I love you sooooooooo much!!! You are one of the sweetest people I have ever seen and I feel like I've known you all my life (but we've never met). I hate that you're leaving the show. You were my main reason for watching. Please let your fans know how to keep in touch with you. You will be so greatly missed.

I am sad that you are leaving the show. The others "make my skin crawl".
You are the only one I would want as a friend. If we WERE friends, I would
say that you can be "happy" with much less of the material stuff. I fled a marriage
after 40 years and now live in much reduced circumstances financially.......but I
am happier than I have ever been. Take care of yourself. T.

hey jeana i am so sorry that vickie called you toxic. that must have really hurt. of all the wives, i've always found your personality to be the least toxic and most genuine. there didn't seem to be alot of "drama" with you until vickie was thrown into your world for whatever reason. several instances over the past two seasons proves that she is not a friend, just an unfortunate choice for a co-star in this reality drama you're involved in.
i'm sorry things are hard for you now. if it's bad for you, imagine what it's like for us lower to middle incomers. it is not easy and the best we can hope for is that it doesn't get any worse.
i think his name is frankie. the interior designer friend of yours from san francisco...i thought it was very cool of him to offer your daughter furnishings for her new apartment. too bad she didn't seem like the kind of girl who appreciated any of it. good luck and hang in there lady. i think you'll be alright.

Don't Go! I need some stability on each RHW. Your my Jill, NeNe, aah? none on NJ. You've been through a tough year. I will miss U.
I don't like how people treat u. Mostly your family. It really hurts me seeing it because I see my family. Kids can be rude...I wonder. You try your best and it seldom comes out like U though it would. I know why all these Friends came out to help U, Your a good Friend. Come and visit often if u must leave. Best wishes in all your endeavors.
Sincerely Yours S.E.M

True friends are hard to find and you have proven to be a true friend to Vicki. I am so sorry she could not have the true compassion to help you out in your time of need. I know it took so much of swallowing your pride to ask her for help. The ones that have stepped up with no expectations are the true friends in your life. Keep them always close! I have my best friend who came to our rescue when we hit rock bottom and lovingly gave and continues to give. This is a true friend!!
You are my favorite! Keep your head up high, Keep the faith, and many blessings will be coming your way!

You are awesomwe. You seem more down to earth than the rest of the ladies and more able to laugh at yourself. I do like all of them though, except Vickie just annoys me. I do wonder if any of the other ladies have as many friends as you who will come through for you without having to ask, when THEY start having issues finacially.

I really have enjoyed watching you on the show. I don't watch much reality tv, but got hooked on the OC one weekend when I was home with a sick little boy and there was a marathon on.

I was really dismayed to hear Vickie say that you're toxic. Just so ya know, you appear to be very down to earth and honest. It must have really hurt to hear her say that, but please don't put stock in it. Obviously she has some serious issues of her own to work out. I think her comments say more about her than you.

Good luck! I hope you return to the show when you're feeling up to it!

Jeanna, we will miss you. I hope after watching Vicki's comments, you will pull your insurance business with her and give it to someone you can trust.

Jeana, let me start out by saying, "YOU ARE MY FAVORITE." I have watched the show since it started, and I thought you and Vicky were good friends but I don't think she's anyone's friend.. I wish you the best of luck and hope your business picks up.. Stay kind and sweet, unlike some of the other housewives..(a.k.a Vicky.) I use to like her but not anymore..

HEY GIRL YOU'RE AWESOME! THANKS FOR STANDING UP FOR GRETCHEN. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO MINDS THERE OWN BUISNESS. YOU'RE LIKE WHO KNOWS... WHO CARES...LET'S HAVE FUN.

Jeana,
It is sad to see you go. Out of all the Housewives, I think you and Laurie probably have the most compassion and caring spirit for other people. Tamara and Vicki,(they wouldn't understand that)but anyone as self-absorbed as these women is headed for a great fall. You can't go through life only doing for yourself, you get that, too bad your neighbors don't.
Maybe "BRAVO" should give you your own show, "Starting Over, The Success Story of Jeana!" I wish you every happiness and success for the future. :)

Dear Jeana-
I almost choked on my coffee when I heard Vicky say YOU were toxic...is she kidding? From day one, you have been the kindest housewife on this show. Last season was so disappointing that the producers showed so much nastiness. The night of the reunion show, you looked so "done" with all of them, I didn't think you would even be in this season at all. Kudos to you for being honest, having integrity, and not staying on a show where people view you as toxic. They really need to put down the stones. God Bless you Jeana - things will be great for you!

Jeana,

You are my most favorite housewife of all the Real Housewives shows. You exemplify compassion and integrity. You are A great mother and friend. I love the stand you took last season not allowing Vicki to influence you with her juvenille and malicious ways. I know you will be back on top. TRUST IN THE LORD TO GUIDE YOUR FOOTSTEPS and remember YOUR ENEMIES WILL BE YOUR FOOTSTOOL.

Please don't leave the show. Why do you have to? Laurie didn't when she had the run of being close to broke. You are the only vice of reason and logic amont the vipers. I was so angry at Vicky for the way she treaeted you. But it sounds like so many more came to your aid. That itself should have shown how much you are liked and respected. I would lay odds that people would not be as quick to help the others.
Have you thought abut a different career for now? Like a life coach for others struggling not only in real estate but other fields as well. You have exerienced a lot and survived.

Keep your chin up Jeana. Things will get better. You always keep a calm head. Don't allow the other women's negativity affect you.

So sad to see you go Jeana... You really are the most genuine housewife out of the entire series! Keep your head up u r a smart girl & you'll be on top again soon. Just remember who your friends are... steer clear of "toxic" people. I wish you & your loved ones the best!

Vicki from the I.E.

I think you are the best Housewife. You don't let the other women bring you down and two of them are the worst....Vicki & Tamara. I don't think Vicki has ever been a real friend to you and your family. Tamara is a girl who married up and forgets where she comes from.
I feel you are a good hearted person or you wouldn't have stayed with your husband as long as you did. I love that you believe everyone deserves a second chance. Keep letting the bad juju roll off your back.
Take care and good luck you deserve it.

Sincerely,
Vicki Buck

Jeana,

It doesn;t appear you are alone on this show with money issues. Basically, Vicki seems to be the only thriving in a bad economy(unless you count Gretchen who seems to be doing well since Jeff passed away). It appears that I am the only one who has this feeling after reading the blogs, but what blows me away is how many people in this country live financially to the limit. When times are great why weren't you saving in case times get bumpy - which inevitably happens in real estate? My father worked on commission my whole life selling lumber in the building business and when times were booming in the 80's we still lived the same lifestyle and it turns out he was brilliant because times did get bad and as a child I never knew it because he planned and saved for those possible times. Too many people live above their means all for show and now they are really paying the price. Instead of tons of designer things and jewelry they could have been paying off their mortgage. Call me old fashioned.

Jeana, are you really leaving the show?If so, why?I will miss you as you were the voice of sanity in this bunch of crazies.I don't think i'll watch much, if at all when you go.I wish you would stay!You are a lady with a kind heart and I wish you the best always!

I truly wish you the best. You were the only one I could relate to and I am very sad to see you go. I hope and pray things turn around for you. I can totally relate as I was in sub prime before it tanked.

Love you Jeanna, you are the only real lady on the show. God will bless you and your family. You have endured so much first your sour husband, then your bratty boys, and now a back stabbing friend like Vickie. Don't worry about it doll she has no class and is a nobody. You are a true lady and the fact that she aired your personal business on TV speaks volumes about her character or lack off. Stay beautiful bunny and stay focus you will survive like all of us are doing. But please never trust Ms. Piggy again.
