Andy Cohen believes there is a similarity between Jill Zarin‘s racist rant about Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl Halftime show and Jennifer Aydin‘s 2025 meltdown against an elderly employee and fellow customer at Jersey Mike’s.
Speaking of Jill’s recent firing from E!’s The Golden Life, which was set to bring her and other Real Housewives of New York City alums together in Palm Beach, Florida, for an all-new series, Andy, 57, suggested that both Jill, 62, and the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star made mistakes they could’ve easily avoided.
“It was an unintentional foul. Is that the expression … [an] unforced error?” Andy asked on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
On a past episode of his radio show, after Jill complained that there were “no white people” in the Halftime show and shaded Bad Bunny’s performance as an “ICE thing,” Andy encouraged his listeners to “call E!,” which they seem to have done.
Days later, after E!’s production company confirmed they would no longer be working with Jill, Andy likened her disturbing rant to the moment in which Jennifer, 48, lashed out at a “slow” employee at Jersey Mike’s and told a customer who criticized her that she was a “f*cking celebrity” and could “buy [him] 10 times over.”
“As one of the Jersey housewives pointed out, not since Jennifer Aydin at Jersey Mike’s, when she picked up the phone to start [recording],” Andy stated as his co-host pointed out that both Jill and Jennifer “didn’t have to weigh in.”
“Right,” Andy agreed.

Following her firing, Jill released a statement to In Touch Weekly, which read, “They didn’t even give me a chance … I took [the video] down right away. People make mistakes. I’m human.”
The Golden Life is expected to begin filming soon with Ramona Singer, 69, Dorinda Medley, 60, Sonja Morgan, 62, Luann de Lesseps, 60, and Kelly Bensimon, 57.
