“Real Housewives of New York City” cast member Jill Zarin has been fired from the E! reunion series “The Golden Life” for what’s been described as a “racist&#8221; rant against Bad Bunny and his Super Bowl Halftime performance.
The reunion show “The Golden Life” was announced on February 3 and hasn’t begun production yet, per Variety, but the reality show star won’t be part of it because of what she shared on social media. The outlet referred to Zarin&#8217;s comments as a &#8220;racist Bad Bunny tirade.&#8221; 
Blink49 Studios issued a <a href="https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/jill-zarin-fired-rhony-reunion-the-golden-life-after-bad-bunny-video-1236657606/">statement</a> about the situation on Tuesday that read: “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.’ We remain committed to delivering the series in line with our company standards and values.”
The “racist&#8221; rant is a since-deleted video shared to Instagram, echoing what most other Super Bowl Halftime show viewers were saying about the performance, which was all in Spanish. Zarin’s video was captured and re-posted on X.

“We all agree… it was 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.” 
The “Real Housewives” alum also stated that she found it “totally inappropriate” for Bad Bunny to repeatedly grab his crotch during the performance, which “young kids” were watching. “And he doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds: Is he so insecure?” Zarin, who said she doesn’t speak Spanish, said his performance “looked like a political statement, because there were literally no white people in the entire thing.”
“I think it was a political statement, and I’m not taking a side one way or the other,” the reality star added. “I just do. I think it was an ICE thing.” Zarin said it was “very sad” that the NFL had “sold out.”
“Shame!” she added.
After being fired from the show, the “Real Housewives” alum defended herself in a <a href="https://www.intouchweekly.com/jill-zarin-breaks-silence-after-being-fired-from-rhony-reunion-show-for-bad-bunny-comments-im-human-exclusive/">statement</a> to InTouch, saying “The Golden Life” producers “didn’t even give me a chance.” 
“I took it down right away,” she said of the Instagram reaction video. “People make mistakes. I’m human.”
