Ariana Biermann revealed that Charlie Zakkour “manipulated me with Jesus,” as she claimed he got a “God” tattoo amid attempts to use religion “to his advantage” with her. The star hinted she’s going to “f**king eat him up” at the reunion.
In the season finale of Next Gen NYC, Ariana and Charlie kissed, right after she stepped back from her romance with Liam Obergfoll. Later on, Charlie and Ariana ended the evening in her bedroom. It was suggested that the co-stars hooked up after the season finished filming. But in a confessional months later, Ariana called Charlie a “horrible human being.”
“I was so naive, cause he manipulated me with Jesus,” said Ariana on Next Gen NYC. “He said his ideal woman is a Christian girl. And I was like, ‘Wait, you believe in Jesus?’ He said, ‘Of course I believe in Jesus.'”
“He got a tattoo a few weeks later that said, ‘Only God can judge me,'” Ariana added. “He appealed to me in that way. [I thought], ‘Okay, this person has an opportunity to be saved. And maybe God called me to help this person find the best version of themselves.'”
Ariana said Charlie worked hard to “use that to his advantage with me.”
“And that is the lowest blow of anything you could do. He doesn’t deserve me as a friend,” said Ariana. “I can’t wait to f**king eat him up, chew him up, and spit him the f**k out of this reunion.”

Last month on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Liam addressed Ariana’s hookup with Charlie.
“I had a weird inkling [about it],” said Liam. “It’s a friend group, and people have personalities and people do certain things and friend groups get messy.”
“I understand life, and I understand kind of being young and fresh into New York City,” he added about Ariana. “There’s conversations we had throughout the season, and I was in a place to be hurt and whatever, but she was honest with our communication and the things we spoke about. … She’ll say she made some mistakes, and maybe she did, but I don’t knock her for just being human.”
