Zarin's firing comes days after the reality TV star shared her reaction to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday in a social media post that devolved into a racist rant.

"We all agree it was the worst halftime show ever," Zarin said in a now-deleted Instagram video. "It's 250 years that we're celebrating right now in the United States, and I just don't think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish." 

She went on to say Bad Bunny's dancing was "inappropriate" for children and called the performance "a political statement, because there were literally no white people in the entire thing." Though Zarin has since removed the post, the video was captured and widely shared on social media.
