Jill Zarin Called Out by Bravo Stars for Her Reaction to Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show

Real Housewives alums criticized the Spanish-language show for inappropriate gestures and content aimed at children, while others praised its cultural tribute and star-studded lineup.

  • On Sunday, February 8, Real Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Taylor Armstrong criticized Bad Bunny's halftime set at Levi's Stadium, with Zarin calling it `the worst halftime show ever` in a since-deleted video.
  • Zarin said `I don’t speak Spanish` and objected to the show being in Spanish and to Bad Bunny's `every five seconds` grabbing gestures, calling them inappropriate for children watching.
  • Bad Bunny's set opened in a sugarcane field, then moved to a house-front with guests Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, Cardi B and Alix Earle, while several celebrities praised the show on social media.
  • The social-media backlash quickly amplified criticism as Jill Zarin said she was embarrassed for the NFL and Apple over a halftime show `totally in Spanish` with a Cuban flag, and President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social minutes after the performance, calling it `The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER.`
  • Some critics described the Super Bowl halftime set as a political statement, noting `there were literally no white people` and calling it an `ICE thing`, with Zarin criticizing the NFL's choice.
