Celebrity Feud Erupts Over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show
The drama has hit the small screen once again as "Real Housewives of New York City" alum Jill Zarin has been fired from her new show, "The Golden Life," after making a scathing comment about Bad Bunny's halftime performance at the Super Bowl. The reality TV star, 62, took to Instagram to call out the Latin singer, saying his show was "the worst halftime show ever." She claimed it had "literally no white people in the entire thing" and accused him of making a "political statement."
But Zarin's rant didn't go down well with her co-stars or fans. Fellow reality TV star Bozoma Saint John from "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" fired back, saying she loved Benito's halftime show for its beauty, culture, history, and message. She also criticized Zarin's attempt to take a neutral stance, saying it sounded like she was taking a side.
Zarin wasn't the only "RHONY" alum who faced backlash over her comments. Bethenny Frankel posted a TikTok video questioning whether celebrities should express their personal views during award shows. However, she later deleted the clip and shared another one praising Bad Bunny for exercising his right to self-expression.
The drama comes as Zarin was set to star in "The Golden Life" alongside Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, and Sonja Morgan. The show's producers announced they were cutting ties with her after the controversy broke out. In a statement, Blink49 Studios said they decided not to move forward with Zarin's involvement due to her "recent comments."

It's like, chill, guys! Bad Bunny slayed the Super Bowl halftime show and everyone's still salty about it 
. I mean, what's next? Are we gonna get fired for not loving someone's outfit on a red carpet? No, let's focus on celebrating diversity & inclusivity in all its forms 
. And honestly, can't we just enjoy an artist's performance without taking it as a "political statement" or trying to police their message? It's all about personal taste, folks! 
. So, Bad Bunny's halftime show was already getting some mixed reactions from people, but I think what really escalated things was Jill Zarin's out-of-nowhere comment on Instagram 
. Like, she just dissed Benito without even knowing the context or the effort he put into his performance. And to make matters worse, she claimed it had "literally no white people" which is not only unfair but also kinda racist 
.
. I mean, Bozoma Saint John has every right to praise Bad Bunny for his show, but what I love about her response is that she owned it and didn't let Zarin's shade bring her down 
. Like, no need to sugarcoat it - if you're gonna come for someone on social media, be prepared for the consequences 
.
Anyway, I'm glad Blink49 Studios made the right call in cutting ties with Jill. Maybe she should focus on being a good neighbor instead of a social media troll 
I don't think Jill Zarin was entirely in the wrong here... she did seem kinda snobby about Bad Bunny's performance. But like, come on @BozomaSaintJohn did a great job of calling out JZ for trying to be all neutral but still taking a side 
And yeah, Benito does have the right to express himself through his art 
. The thing is, I don't think it's about being inclusive or not, it's more like respecting people's opinions and differences. We all have different tastes and preferences 
. Maybe JZ should've just kept her thoughts to herself instead of going on Instagram 
?
benito's halftime show was all about celebration & love 
jill zarin just showed her true colors 
like anyone actually cares what she thinks about Bad Bunny's halftime show lol... or the lack thereof 
. she's just mad because she got roasted and now her show is getting cancelled 
. benito slayed that halftime show and brought some much-needed Latinx representation to the table 
. btw, can we talk about how rich it is that someone like Jill Zarin is getting fired for making a comment about a Latin artist? the drama never ends
