Jill Zarin Fired from Real Housewives of New York City Reboot Series After Racist Bad Bunny Halftime Show Comments

Jill Zarin Fired from Real Housewives of New York City Reboot Series After Racist Bad Bunny Halftime Show Comments
In a since-deleted Instagram, the reality star called Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl "the worst halftime show ever"


On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the producers behind The Golden Life, Blink49 Studios, released a statement to PEOPLE saying that Zarin will no longer be joining her fellow RHONY OGs Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan in the project. The news came just two days after Zarin came under fire for racist comments about Bad Bunny's 2026 Super Bowl halftime show performance.

"In light of recent public comments made by Jill Zarin, Blink49 Studios has decided not to move forward with her involvement in The Golden Life," Blink49 Studios said in their statement. "We remain committed to delivering the series in line with our company standards and values."

In a since-deleted video posted to her Instagram on Super Bowl Sunday, Zarin called Bad Bunny's performance "the worst halftime show ever."

"It’s 250 years that we’re celebrating right now in the United States, and I just don’t think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish," she said.

Zarin went on to criticize Bad Bunny for “grabbing himself every five seconds: Is he so insecure?" She also said the performance "looked like a political statement" and that it was “very sad” and a "shame" that the NFL had “sold out.”

but all I see is someone objecting because an otherwise wonderful halftime show was done in Spanish.
Guessing she said other things that are not being reported.

I didn't know real housewives was still a thing.

I thought those things had died and been buried in the graveyard of stupid t.v. show concepts a long time ago, lol.
