Ariana Biermann has accused Charlie Zakkour of manipulating her through religion. The Next Gen NYC star alleged that Zakkour got a “God” tattoo, which he tried to use “to his advantage.” Zakkour and Biermann are not officially dating. However, the two reportedly had a secret hookup while filming Season 2 of the reality show.
Ariana Biermann says Charlie Zakkour ‘manipulated’ her with religion
The season finale showed Biermann and Zakkour sharing a kiss after she decided to take a step back from her romance with Liam Obergfoll. The two later went to Biermann’s bedroom, suggesting that they may have hooked up after filming. Months later, however, Biermann described Zakkour very differently in a confessional, telling, ” I want nothing to d o with that horrible human being.”
She said, “I was so naive, cause he manipulated me with Jesus. 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.’ 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.”
She said that he worked hard to “use that to his advantage” with her. “And that is the lowest blow of anything you could do. He doesn’t deserve me as a friend. I can’t wait to f**king eat him up, chew him up, and spit him the f**k out of this reunion,” she said.
Bravo has released the trailer for the two-part reunion, premiering September 16 at 9:15 p.m. ET on NBC. Uncensored episodes will be available on Peacock the following day. The cast also includes Riley Burruss, Ava Dash, Emira D’Spain, Shai Fruchter, Gia Giudice, Brooks Marks, Georgia McCann, Hudson McLeroy, and Rowan Henchy.
