“Shahs of Sunset” alum Reza Farahan is standing by his remarks regarding fellow former Bravo star Jill Zarin.
Speaking to Us Weekly in May 2024, Farahan discussed his dislike of the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star, whom he calls a disparaging name during the first season of “The GOAT,” as seen in the show’s trailer.
He told Us Weekly that he, Zarin and “The Valley” star Kristen Doute were allies on the Amazon Original reality television competition series, which he “regret[s].”
“I usually don’t lead with regrets in my life, I hate that emotion. I regret letting Jill into my life,” Farahan told Us Weekly. “At the time, it was how I felt. And honestly, Jill is a little bit of a [expletive].”
Zarin “acted like a beast in the house,” he told the outlet, describing her behavior as “a little off-putting.”
In a May 7 interview with “Pride Today,” Farahan said “[Jill] made me feel like I was back in a bazaar in Iran. She kept trying to whip out her wares and sell them to you, and she was complaining the whole time. It was a bit much for me.”
He told Us Weekly that he believes if he had “not had a relationship with Jill coming into the house, it probably would have benefited [him] greatly.”
“Here’s my advice to people. If you’re going to be on a competition show, watch out for the old lady on the show,” the 50-year-old Farahan told Us Weekly. “She probably might do you dirty at the end. That’s some training for you. There you go.”
Asked about Farahan’s comment in the trailer, Zarin told Us Weekly, “I don’t think I saw that. I haven’t seen that yet.”
In a May 8 interview with “Pride Today,” Zarin told host Ricky Cornish, “I haven’t seen the whole season, I kind of lived it. I love Reza, I adore him, and if I hurt his feelings at all, I feel terrible. But there’s no manual to how to do this thing.”
Reza Farahan Called ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Star Kyle Richards ‘Overrated’
This is not the first time Farahan has taken issue with a “Real Housewives” personality.
During a January 2023 “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” interview, Farahan named “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards the most “overrated Housewife.”
“That’s who I actually believe is an overrated Housewife,” said Farahan.
According to BravoTV.com, Richards reacted to Farahan’s remark in a January 2023 Instagram comment, referencing his limited time on “The Traitors.”
“Wasn’t he the first one voted off on [‘The Traitors’]? I can’t even be offended,” wrote the RHOBH star.
In addition, in an April 2023 interview with “Logo Spill” Farahan stated he believed Richards had used the weight loss drug Ozempic.
“The Ozempic is working, girl. She looks good,” said Farahan.
As fans are aware, Richards has denied claims she has used the drug to reach her weight loss goals.
Reza Farahan Discussed His Relationship With Kyle Richards in November 2023

“I was at the airport with [RHOBH star] Erika [Jayne]. [Kyle] walked in, I walked up to her, she hugged me [and] she’s like, ‘Truce?’ I said, ‘Duh,’ and we hugged. And it was as if it had never happened,” said Farahan.
