'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,' the show's producers, Blink49 Studios, said in a statement via E! obtained by Variety

On Sunday, the 62-year-old reality star shared a video on Instagram blasting the performance, calling it 'the worst halftime show ever' and claiming it was inappropriate for children watching at home.

'It was the worst halftime show ever. I just don't think it was appropriate to have it in Spanish and, quite frankly … grabbing his G [groin] area,' Zarin said in the now-deleted clip. 'I think it was totally inappropriate.'

She continued: 'You've got all these young kids watching the Super Bowl and he doesn't have to be grabbing himself every five seconds because he's so insecure. Seriously.'

Zarin went on to criticize the language of the performance and suggested it carried a political message.

'I don't speak Spanish, I would've liked to have known the words he was saying,' she said. 'To me, it looked like a political statement because there were literally no white people in the entire thing. I'm not taking a side, one way or the other…I think it was an ICE thing. I think that the NFL sold out and it's very sad.'
