A Jill Zarin Source Said Fans Are ‘Up in Arms’ Over Her Firing: How Are People Really Reacting?
Just one week after Jill Zarin was announced as a cast member on the upcoming show The Golden Life, she lost her job. After the Super Bowl halftime show, Zarin posted a video on social media heavily criticizing Bad Bunny’s performance. Once she lost her spot on the show, a source said people are furious about the decision. Across social media, however, many people have celebrated the news.
A source said fans are not happy about Jill Zarin’s firing
After the halftime show, Zarin posted a video describing it as the worst of all time. She decried it for being in Spanish and having “literally no white people in the entire thing.” After backlash, she deleted the video, but the damage was done. The studio behind The Golden Life announced she would no longer appear on the show.
“In light of recent public comments made by Jill Zarin, Blink49 Studios has decided not to move forward with her involvement in ‘The Golden Life,’” they said in a statement to Variety. “We remain committed to delivering the series in line with our company standards and values.”
A pro-Zarin source criticized the decision and claimed that people are furious about the move.
“Everyone on the Internet is up in arms because they love Jill and were finally getting her back,” a source told In Touch. “E! made a snap decision without even taking into account that Jill took it down right away. Jill will be back — this won’t keep her down. People love her. That will never change.”
How have people reacted to Jill Zarin’s firing?
While some people are surely disappointed by Zarin’s sudden exit from the upcoming series, a great deal of social media users have celebrated her departure.
“Oh this is fabulous news!” wrote one Reddit user.
“This is the best news I’ve heard all day lmao,” added another person.
Many people noted that Zarin has no one to blame but herself.
“[She] gets so arrogant when good things come her way,” one person wrote, adding, “She’s always been this way. She felt untouchable when news came out about the RHONY reboot and she thought saying racist things won’t get her in trouble. Well, she effed around and found out!”
“Lol I love when obnoxious, awful people dig their own grave,” added another person.
Some people said this should be Zarin’s final chance at getting on reality television. She has nearly made multiple comebacks since Bravo fired her after the fourth season of RHONY.
“It’s too funny because she’s been dying to get back on TV,” one commenter said. “She finally gets her old job back, then gets fired on her day off.”
“She’s so ridiculously ignorant it’s astounding! Good for E!” added another person. “Jill should never be on TV ever again. She’s a big mouth fool!
At this point, a return to The Golden Life by Zarin doesn’t seem likely. Dorinda Medley has already replaced her.
She said her firing feels unfair
Zarin spoke out after her firing. She believes that she shouldn’t have faced such significant repercussions because she quickly deleted the video.
“They didn’t even give me a chance,” she said. “I took it down right away. People make mistakes. I’m human.”
The Golden Life will now follow Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, and Sonja Morgan in their new lives in Palm Beach.
