The Real Housewives of New York City alum Jill Zarin isn’t afraid to admit that she filters her social media photos.
“Welcome 2026!!! The best is yet to come!” Zarin, 62, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 2, sharing a snap of herself posing on a private jet.
Zarin, dressed in a white crop top with matching leggings, was all smiles from her seat while raising her hands above her head in celebration. For glam, she wore a full beat including fake lashes and shiny lipgloss — but that wasn’t the only enhancement.
“Yes, Photoshop enhanced,” Zarin added in her caption, seemingly confirming that she digitally altered her pic before uploading it to Instagram.
Despite her photoshop confession, Zarin’s celebrity friends all noticed her stellar physique in the pic. Tamar Braxton, Patti Stanger and Stacey Silva each sent a handful of fire emojis in the comments section.
RHONY alum Aviva Drescher, for her part, replied, “Benjamin Button!”
Zarin’s pro-Photoshop image notably comes months after her former costar Ramona Singer sparked similar speculation that she digitally enhanced her online look.
“Just another great night in Palm Beach,” Singer, 69, wrote via Instagram in April 2025, quickly raising eyebrows about her youthful appearance.
She later denied editing the shot at all, writing via Instagram comment, “No filter, embarrassed I don’t know how.”
In a follow-up message, Singer doubled down on her position, adding, “I didn’t edit. I guess my gorgeous gay friends did lol.”
Singer previously had other Instagram issues through the years, including accidentally posting a screenshot of her bank account in March 2021.
“I was trying to do an Insta Story about how I liked how my hair looked,” Singer exclusively told Luxury Handbag Shopping the next month, blaming the app’s latest software update for her online mishap. “Instead, what posted was my bank account because somehow that came from the photos. I don’t know how. That was a photo for my assistant to show that I got paid from one of the accounts for doing Instagram Stories … [it] was easier for me to take a screenshot and send it to him than to write out the information.”
She continued, “Never take a screenshot of something unless you want it public. That’s my lesson. At least you know I have money in my account! There you go.”
Singer and Zarin were two of the OG Housewives on RHONY, which has since been rebooted with a new cast, including Erin Lichy, Sai de Silva, Ubah Hassan, Jessel Taank, Jenna Lyons and Brynn Whitfield. Both Lyons, 57, and Whitfield, 39, announced their exits last year ahead of season 16.
The official RHONY season 16 cast list or premiere date have yet to be announced, though it is in the works.
“We have a cast for The Real Housewives of New York City,” executive producer Andy Cohen teased during a BravoCon 2025 panel. “We are gonna be filming in the next few months. [I’m] very excited about that. More to come about that.”
While there have been rumors the new apple-holders could come face to face with the OGs in the new season, that might not be likely.
“I honestly trust the Bravo producers. They know what they’re doing,” Lichy, 38, exclusively told Luxury Handbag Shopping elsewhere at BravoCon. “I feel like if they really thought that that was the way to go, then that’s the way we would go, you know. I don’t think that they believe that that’s right for our group.”
