Former Real Housewives Cast Share Views on Bad Bunny

The opinions of former cast members from the Real Housewives franchise have sparked controversy regarding Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance. Jill Zarin, a former member of the Real Housewives of New York City (RHONYC), openly criticized the show in a now-deleted video from Instagram.

Jill Zarin’s Critique

Zarin described Bad Bunny’s performance as “the worst halftime show ever.” She expressed her concerns about the show being delivered predominantly in Spanish, especially during a celebration of 250 years of the United States. Zarin noted, “You’ve got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl,” implying that the performance’s elements were inappropriate for a young audience. She even suggested the show appeared to convey a political statement, citing the absence of white performers.

Social Media Reactions

Following Zarin’s remarks, another former cast member, Taylor Armstrong from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH), shared her disappointment on Instagram. She posted a modified image of herself merged with Russell Crowe’s character from Gladiator, asking, “Were you entertained?” Armstrong regarded the halftime show as an embarrassment for both the NFL and Apple, criticizing its Spanish focus and the presence of a Cuban flag.

In contrast to the criticisms, Candiace Dillard Bassett from the current season of Traitors and Real Housewives of Potomac (RHOP) defended Bad Bunny’s performance. She voiced her appreciation on X, stating, “Y’all need to learn how to appreciate people, places, and things that are not like you.” Dillard emphasized the importance of recognizing the multilingual fabric of American society and that English should not be seen as the only important language.
