A “Real Housewives of New York City” veteran got canned by a new reality show after she went on a social media tirade about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime performance.
Jill Zarin was set to soon start filming “The Golden Life,” an E! reality series set in Palm Beach, Florida, with other reality show alumni like Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan.
But she got fired on Tuesday after posting a now-deleted Instagram video in which she called Bad Bunny’s performance “the worst halftime show ever” and complained, “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.”
“He doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds: Is he so insecure?” she asked.
The Real Housewife noted that she doesn’t speak Spanish, but griped that Bad Bunny’s performance “looked like a political statement, because there were literally no white people in the entire thing.” She then speculated about one of the white people in the performance getting a facelift.
Although Zarin quickly deleted the post, it was saved for posterity by X user @gibsonoma.
Zarin’s hot take quickly went viral, earning her criticism on “The View” — and prompting Blink49 Studios, which is producing “The Golden Life,” to cut ties with her on Tuesday, citing her “recent public comments.”
Not even Zarin’s own daughter, Ally Shapiro, agreed with her remarks, reportedly posting an Instagram Story saying that she loved the halftime show.
“Best halftime show in years. Which honestly is weird to even call it that it was like a true performance with a story line and actors and the direction, lighting everything was perfect,” Shapriro said, according to US Weekly.
Zarin Fabrics, once owned by Zarin’s late husband, Bobby, also distanced itself from the reality TV star in an Instagram post that featured her face with an “X” over it.
“Zarin Fabrics stands firmly against racism, discrimination, and rhetoric that seeks to exclude or diminish people based on identity, culture, or background,” the post began, before noting that Zarin has not been associated with the company for several years.
“Our company operates independently, and any public statements attributed to her are made in a personal capacity and do not reflect our values, beliefs, or operations,” the post read, adding that Zarin Fabrics condemns “language or viewpoints that undermine those principles, and we remain committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment in everything we do.”
“They didn’t even give me a chance,” Zarin told In Touch magazine on Tuesday about being dropped from “The Golden Life.” “I took it down right away. People make mistakes. I’m human.”
Zarin did not immediately respond to celebrity.land’s request for comment.
