Ariana Biermann is explaining her relationship with Charlie Zakkour following an alleged hookup amid Next Gen NYC season two.
As she also admitted that she didn’t make the best decisions following her October 2025 split from Hudson McLeroy, 24, addressed the upcoming reunion, and teased a potential romance with Liam Obergfoll, 29, Ariana seemingly confirmed her rendezvous with Charlie, 30, as she slammed him as a “manipulator.”
“I think that he’s a really good manipulator and I fell for it,” Ariana, 24, told Entertainment Tonight while attending the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th premiere party with Brooks Marks, 27, last Monday.
According to Ariana, she did her best at her first-ever reunion special, but felt she could have done more to explain her behavior.
“I think there was a few more things I could’ve said to really paint some pictures. But I think I did get at least a good part out in accepting accountability for the terrible decisions I’ve made,” she shared.
She then confirmed that Charlie was in the hot seat, asking, “When is he not?”
After noting that she felt she was the one who got “let off easy,” Ariana hoped that her low moments on the series would be a “short-lived thing.”
“I do not make the best decisions towards this season,” she stated.
In addition to her alleged hookup with Charlie, the midseason trailer for Next Gen NYC hinted at a coupling between Ariana and Liam.
“You never know what the future holds. He’s amazing,” Ariana gushed about her co-star.
Also during the interview, Ariana had all good things to say about her and Brooks’ moms, Kim Zolciak, 48, and Meredith Marks, 54.
“Our moms are icons. They paved this whole entire way for us to be on Next Gen … It’s a dream and an honor to be here and have great moms who paved this path for us … We wouldn’t be sh*t without them,” she declared.
Next Gen NYC season two airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
