Jill Zarin Dropped From E!’s ‘The Golden Life’ Over Bad Bunny Halftime Remarks

Producers cited her since-deleted video as the reason for her removal.

Overview

  • Blink49 Studios announced it will not move forward with Jill Zarin’s involvement, citing company standards and values in a statement.
  • In a now-deleted Instagram video, Zarin called Bad Bunny’s show “the worst halftime show ever,” objected to the Spanish-language performance, alleged there were “literally no white people,” and criticized his choreography.
  • Zarin later told In Touch that she was not given a chance, said she removed the clip quickly, and called the post a mistake.
  • Zarin Fabrics publicly condemned discrimination and clarified that Jill Zarin has not been associated with the company for several years.
  • E!’s The Golden Life will continue without Zarin, with Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, and Sonja Morgan attached, and production planned for spring in South Florida.
