Former “The Real Housewives of New York City” star Jill Zarin recently admitted to using filters on her social media photos, including a recent snap she shared on Instagram celebrating the new year. In the photo, Zarin can be seen posing on a private jet, dressed in a white crop top and leggings, with a full glam look complete with fake lashes and lip gloss. She captioned the photo with, “Yes, Photoshop enhanced,” confirming that she digitally altered the image before posting it.
Despite her Photoshop confession, Zarin received compliments from celebrity friends like Tamar Braxton, Patti Stanger, and Stacey Silva, who all admired her physique in the pic. Her former co-star Aviva Drescher even commented, “Benjamin Button!” in reference to Zarin’s age-defying appearance.
This revelation comes after another former “RHONY” star, Ramona Singer, faced similar speculation about digitally enhancing her photos. In a post from April 2025, Singer sparked controversy with her youthful appearance, leading to denials of editing from her end. She later joked that her “gorgeous gay friends” might have been responsible for any alterations.
Singer has had other social media mishaps in the past, including accidentally sharing a screenshot of her bank account in 2021. Despite these incidents, both Singer and Zarin remain iconic figures from the original “RHONY” cast, which has since undergone changes with new members like Erin Lichy, Sai de Silva, Ubah Hassan, Jessel Taank, Jenna Lyons, and Brynn Whitfield. Lyons and Whitfield announced their exits ahead of season 16.
As fans eagerly await news of the official cast and premiere date for season 16 of “RHONY,” executive producer Andy Cohen has teased that filming will begin soon. While there have been rumors of OG Housewives returning to the show, cast member Erin Lichy expressed trust in the Bravo producers to make the right decisions for the group.
Overall, the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of New York City” promises to bring more drama, glamour, and unforgettable moments, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Stay tuned for more updates on the show’s return and the new cast members set to grace our screens.
