The thing is, Jill never said she was retiring and she never said she was leaving just to spend time with her family. She always said she was moving on to something else but didn't know yet what that would be.

I follow Jill on social media and I've been reading the comments. I never saw her jump down anyone's throat when they mentioned retiring, just setting the facts straight that that isn't what is happening. I think since Jill made the announcement, she seems much more happy and relaxed. Like a huge burden has been lifted off her shoulders.

I'm not sure why part of this looks bolded. I can't undo that.

@Lipstickdiva Not a big deal but your first paragraph looks as though it is a different size font from the rest of the post, this could make it look bold.

@Equuleus ..... don’t let Jill hear you say that she is retiring..... I sent her a “Conratultions on your retirement” note on Facebook & she quickly jumped down my throat & said that she is NOT RETIRING but merely leaving to pursue other interest ..... the tone of her note sounded a bit angry .... that’s the last note that I send her 🙃

@January121 sounds just like Jill to me , She has always had this edge about her , sharp tongue. When she announced she was leaving to spend time with her family it leads one to believe she is retiring for now anyways. I see nothing wrong with you wishing her well. it wasnt very gracious of her , she should have just said thank you. She cares about how she's perceived is what I feel. Wanting people to think it's her decision and maybe it is , but if she's being forced out she doesn't want it known. It's been mentioned that she seems so happy and upbeat now , I beileve its a little too forced 😉

That's Jill---- she can be a bit persnickety....I remember she did a jewelry show awhile way back...she snapped at the cameraman--"why are you showing the earrings on me, show it on the models that's what they get paid for".....she wasn't joking and said it in a mean tone--WHEW!!!

Although I must say she is always well prepared in her presentations....one of the few hosts that knows her products....I will miss that...

@Spurt Persnickety is a good word , best way to put it. I will always remember when Jill first started she just started her presentation of whatever the item was and there was this loud sound off to the side like someone was working on a set and maybe something fell, and Jill was really mad and yelled " I'm doing a show here , this is ridiculous ". !!!! She was MAD ! Never forgot that and that's why I've always been skeptical of her . I don't find her genuine. That's just my opinion.

@Spurt and @January121 yes I have seen that side of Jill. Around 7 years ago, I had QVC on in the background on low volume. I was reading on the couch. Tara of Temptations was presenting and Jill was the host. I can hear them talking but wasn't listening. Then all of a sudden, I hear an angry tone of voice. It was Jill snapping back at people who were complaining on social media about the painting / decoration of the pieces not being identical.

She was saying that each Temptations piece is hand painted and because of that, they are not identical. She said it in such a hostile manner, it caught me off guard.

I don't get all of this speculation about why Jil is leaving. She is leaving. She said that she is leaving. That is all she needs to say. She must be about 50 now and has worked at QVC for 25 years. That's a long time to work for one company is this day and age. People change careers for lots of reasons. I would thik that after considering all of her options she decided that this is a good time to try something else. She has probably made lots of connections over the years. Good for her. I wish her well in her future endeavors.

@Kitty Galore

Ive watched shows where the behind the scene crew was moving merchandise on or off the set and you heard a crash and the host's first thought was...."is everyone okay?"...I guess for some, the show must go on........

I hold the belief that their contracts were not renewed. Both had reduced hours prior to their departure, working more weekends, Q2, etc. I would think non compete and non disclosures are required as they depart.
@queendiva

The amusing one was Albany who like Sharon and Jill gave the same "reason" and then promptly took off for Australia to temporarily work for a vendor and is now working for a vendor selling jewelry on Evine......so much for "spending time with the family".....

Didn't Albany do a show and leave the same day or am I thinking of somebody else? I think the "family" reason is used a lot, sometimes being true, sometimes not, because who's to know the difference? It's really none of our business.

@wishmoon, both Albany and Jacque G. did shows and then after the show, they were gone.

Sharon actually announced she was leaving, like Jill.

There has to be a huge non-disclosure clause in their contract. Only Kathy Levine wrote a tell-all book many years ago.
