There are multiple layers to this cringey Instagram post that Taylor Armstrong shared after Bad Bunny crushed his Super Bowl halftime performance. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star went online to complain about the show. She said she felt “embarrassed” for the NFL. Meanwhile, Bravo fans feel embarrassed for her.
Taylor Armstrong’s intelligence was questioned when she referenced the flag of Cuba
After her brief stint on Real Housewives of Orange County, Taylor has been spending most of her time these days promoting cryptocurrency and desperately trying to milk that “woman yelling at cat” meme that went viral a few years ago.
However, she took a slight break from her regularly scheduled posting to share a complaint about Bad Bunny’s halftime show. In an Instagram Story, Taylor cropped her face and the cat from her favorite meme onto Russell Crowe’s character from Gladiator.
She wrote, “Were you entertained?? I am embarrassed for the @NFL and Apple for the Super Bowl halftime show totally in Spanish with a Cuban flag!!”
Immediately, Bravo fans started calling Taylor out for the criticism. Plenty of people pointed out that Bad Bunny didn’t fly a Cuban flag. He’s Puerto Rican, and during the finale, dancers carried flags for numerous countries that Taylor probably couldn’t pick out on a map. Bad Bunny also said, “God Bless America” before listing off every single country in the Americas.
With that in mind, fans from the Bravoverse and beyond united to call out Taylor for the misguided criticism and her confusion over the Cuban flag. They really lit her up on Reddit in the r/Fauxmoi subreddit.
“Wrong-o, dumb grifter,” wrote one frustrated fan. “Bad Bunny showed all the flags of the AMERICAS – get it? He’s Puerto Rican, part of the United States. Cuba’s flag is similar to Puerto Rico’s flag (part of the USA), but not the same.”
Another added, “She should be more embarrassed that she doesn’t know the difference between a Puerto Rico flag and a Cuba flag. What a moron.”
Taylor wasn’t the only Real Housewives star having a strange reaction to the halftime performance. Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin went online and trashed the show, calling it a “shame.”
Specifically, Jill felt alarmed by the lack of “white people” in the performance and called it a political statement. In the same breath, she complained that Lady Gaga looked unrecognizable in the performance and accused her of getting a “facelift.”
Jill deleted her post once she started receiving the backlash. Taylor’s post is still up. That’s probably because this is the most anyone has talked about her in a few years.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo. You can stream it on Peacock the following day.
