Brandi Glanville has come to the defense of Jill Zarin following Zarin’s dismissal from a new E! reality show due to an offensive video she posted concerning Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance. While Glanville expressed support, Heather Dubrow labeled Zarin as foolish, and a previous remark by Zarin showed her initial thoughts on the threat of being “canceled.”

Following Bad Bunny’s halftime show, the former Real Housewives of New York personality shared a now-deleted video voicing complaints that the performance wasn’t in English. She remarked on the absence of “white people” in the segment and commented that Lady Gaga appeared unrecognizable.
Brandi Glanville expressed her thoughts on social media, saying, “I have a HUGE crush on Bad Bunny, and I’d love to be his Mrs. Robinson 💕 The halftime show was fantastic,” she stated. “Though my friend Jill Zarin has her own views, I completely disagree with them.”
In a February 10 post on X, Brandi addressed Jill’s firing.
She emphasized, “Opinions are not inherently wrong—they’re subjective.” Glanville further added, “I’d like to see Jill on TV explaining her perspective and hopefully learning from it. Otherwise, we’re left with people who are too afraid to voice their true thoughts.”
“But opinions aren’t wrong – they’re subjective,” she went on. “I want to watch Jill on TV explain herself & hopefully learn something. Or we can just keep watching ‘yes people’ afraid to share.”
Around the same time, Heather Dubrow reacted to a fan on Threads who wrote, “Jill Zarin is an idiot.”
“Beyond,” Heather agreed.
“This is my OPINION only on my account. Not FACT. Ally says I’m getting canceled which she says every time I post lol,” wrote Jill at the time. “Seriously though, how many times can I be canceled?? lol.”
On February 8, Jill first posted the offensive video.
“I just don’t think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish, and, quite frankly … grabbing his [groin] area … I think it was totally inappropriate,” said Jill at the time on Instagram. “You’ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl, and he doesn’t have to be grabbing himself every five seconds because he’s so insecure. Seriously.”
“I don’t speak Spanish. I would’ve liked to have known the words he was saying. To me, it looked like a political statement because there were literally no white people in the entire thing. I’m not taking a side, one way or the other,” she went on. “I think it was an ICE thing. I think that the NFL sold out, and it’s very sad.”
