Former “Real Housewives of New York City” star Jill Zarin has been fired from the upcoming E! reunion show, “The Golden Life”, following his racist speech on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

In a now-deleted Instagram video, Zarin reacted to the performance by calling it “the worst halftime show ever.”

“It’s 250 years that we’re celebrating right now in the United States, and I just didn’t think it was appropriate to do it in Spanish,” she said. “I don’t speak Spanish. I wish I knew the words he was saying.”

The reality star added that she saw the performance as a political statement in response to the “ICE thing,” while claiming there were “literally no white people in any of this,” although Lady Gaga was one of the special guests.

Zarin then criticized the NFL for “selling out” by choosing Bad Bunny as the halftime headliner, calling the situation “very sad” for a league celebrating its 75th anniversary.

After the video went viral and sparked immediate backlash, Zarin was dropped from “The Golden Life” by the series’ producer, Blink49 Studios.

Zarin was originally set to appear in the 10-episode documentary series alongside “RHONY” alums Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Kelly Bensimon.

“In light of recent public comments made by Jill Zarin, Blink49 Studios has decided not to move forward with its involvement in ‘The Golden Life,'” the studio said in a statement to Variety on Tuesday. “We remain committed to delivering a series consistent with our company’s standards and values.”

No official release date has been announced for “The Golden Life,” although filming is expected to take place in South Florida this spring.
