Former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/tv\/the-real-housewives-of-new-york-city\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Real Housewives of New York<\/a> cast member Jill Zarin has been preemptively fired from E!\u2019s upcoming RHONY reunion series, The Golden Life, per <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/jill-zarin-fired-rhony-reunion-the-golden-life-after-bad-bunny-video-1236657606\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Variety<\/a>. Zarin came under fire this week for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/real-housewives-jill-zarin-taylor-armstrong-bad-bunny.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">racist comments about the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show<\/a>, which she posted to her Instagram. In the since-deleted video, she called it the \u201cworst halftime show ever.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s 250 years that we\u2019re celebrating right now, the United States, and I just don\u2019t think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish and, quite frankly, grabbing his \u2018G\u2019-area,\u201d she said. \u201cI think it was totally inappropriate. You\u2019ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl, and he doesn\u2019t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds because he\u2019s so insecure. Seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmlh48htu000u3b7aiam6jtpv@published\" data-word-count=\"117\">People involved with Housewives and Zarin have since spoken out against her. Zarin Fabrics, the store once run by her late husband, Bobby, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DUj5oiEjmy6\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">posted a photo of her with a red X over her face<\/a>. \u201cZarin Fabrics is built on creativity, collaboration, and respect for the diverse communities that shape art, culture, and expression,\u201d the caption read. Even Zarin\u2019s daughter, Ally Shapiro, spoke out in support of Bad Bunny. \u201cBest halftime show in years,\u201d she wrote on her Instagram Story. \u201cWhich 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.\u201d Andy Cohen, meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DUi_bNkky6e\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">had just two words<\/a>: \u201cCall E!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmlh4dt3k00103b7az8uic40t@published\" data-word-count=\"33\">The Golden Life, which will air on E!, will now star Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan, Countess Luann, and Kelly Bensimon.
