Jill Zarin Fired From E!'s 'The Golden Life' After Bad Bunny Halftime Rant

Production proceeds without her after Blink49 cited company standards.

Overview

  • Blink49 Studios said it will not move forward with Zarin’s involvement, citing a commitment to deliver the series in line with company values.
  • In a now-deleted Instagram video, Zarin called Bad Bunny’s show “the worst halftime show ever,” objected to Spanish-language songs, and claimed there were “literally no white people,” despite Lady Gaga’s appearance.
  • Zarin Fabrics publicly denounced her remarks and clarified that Jill Zarin has not been associated with the company for years.
  • Reality TV figures across the Bravo sphere criticized Zarin’s comments, while her daughter, Ally Shapiro, praised the performance on social media.
  • Zarin told In Touch she removed the post and said “People make mistakes. I’m human,” as the Palm Beach–set series continues into spring production with Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan.
