Remove Jill Zarin from The Golden Life cast on the E! Network


Remove Jill Zarin from The Golden Life cast on the E! Network
The Issue
Our request
We ask E! Network to:
- Remove Jill Zarin from the cast of The Golden Life before the series films.
- Publicly reaffirm E!’s commitment to inclusive standards for talent and casting.
- Confirm a clear conduct standard that discourages platforming discriminatory remarks.
Why we’re asking
Fans are excited about an RHONY reunion-style project, but that excitement is undermined by the inclusion of Jill Zarin following public remarks that many viewers experienced as discriminatory toward Spanish language and Latino representation, particularly comments made in reaction to Bad Bunny’s Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime performance.
We want a series that’s funny, messy, and iconic—without normalizing rhetoric that targets marginalized communities and fosters division and hate.
Why this matters
E! is building goodwill with longtime fans. Casting decisions signal what the network is willing to platform. Keeping Jill Zarin attached risks:
- alienating diverse viewers who support the franchise,
- damaging the show’s launch with preventable controversy,
- signaling tolerance for discriminatory commentary.
What success looks like
If E! removes Jill Zarin from The Golden Life and reaffirms inclusive standards, we will support the show and encourage others to do the same.
