Former Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin is no stranger to controversy. Now, a recent social media post from the Bravo legend has fans discussing her use of Photoshop. See the photo and what she had to say about it.
Jill, 62, recently took to Instagram to ring in the new year with a fun photo of herself on what appeared to be a private plane.
She posted the picture with the caption, “Welcome 2026!!! The best is yet to come! ( yes, Photoshop enhanced).” The image shows her sitting on the plane with her hands extended in a celebratory gesture. She’s wearing a white crop top and matching leggings with what appears to be a professional makeup job.
There’s also a large Chanel bag in the seat next to her on the plane. Jill received several comments from fans and fellow reality stars alike. Kristen Doute commented, “😍😍😍.”
Adriana de Moura said, “🙌🔥🔥🔥.” Tamar Braxton also reacted to the photo, saying, “🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”
Kelly Dodd told her, “You look 🔥🔥🔥🔥”
Several commentators were perplexed by the former RHONY star’s use of Photoshop for her Instagram photo. Someone said, “So much AI 😂.” Another fan wrote, “Would love to see this photo unfiltered.” Someone else stated, “Unrecognizable! 😭”
The comments didn’t end there as another of her fans said, “Lots of questions, but let’s start here: why do you have the fakest ‘Chanel’ bag ever, albeit on a private plane?”
Of course, this isn’t the first time Jill has been called out for allegedly using photo editing techniques. The difference is that this time she admitted to it.
One instance came in January 2025, Jill posted a picture with her sister, using the caption, “Every day is #sisters day! How lucky am I to have the best sister in the world? #sisters.”
Regarding the reactions to the seemingly edited photo, one person said, “What are you guys? 20?!!” Someone else wrote, “Are you in this picture?😮” Finally, a different person said, “JILLL???? HUH??”
