Jill Zarin was slated to join the reboot, but was unceremoniously canned after going on a racist rant about Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.
“I don’t speak Spanish, I would have 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,” she said in a now-deleted social media post.

Producers of the show issued a statement at the time saying: “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.’ We remain committed to delivering the series in line with our company standards and values.”
Zarin told In Touch, “I took it down right away. People make mistakes. I’m human.”
The upcoming series will have ten episodes and is slated to air sometime this year.
