Jill Zarin was cut from "The Golden Life" after criticizing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, sparking backlash over her false claims.

Jill Zarin was removed from E!’s reboot of The Real Housewives of New York, titled "The Golden Life," in February 2026 after a deleted social media video sparked backlash for criticizing Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show. She called the performance the “worst ever,” questioned its use of Spanish during a U.S. anniversary celebration, and claimed it excluded white performers and made a political statement about immigration, despite no evidence supporting those claims. Her remarks drew widespread condemnation, prompting Blink49 Studios to cut ties, citing a breach of company values. The decision came just days before filming was set to begin, and Zarin Fabrics distanced itself from her, stating she has no current affiliation. The show continues without her.
