Ariana Biermann Stands by Riley Burruss Amid Charlie Zakkour Controversy

Ariana Biermann Defends Riley Burruss Next Gen NYC

Ariana Biermann is not here for the disrespect — especially when it comes to her girl Riley Burruss.

During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the Next Gen NYC star made it crystal clear that her loyalty lies with Riley. When Andy Cohen asked if she’s spoken to co-star Charlie Zakkour following his backlash, Ariana didn’t mince words.

“I haven’t spoken to him,” she shared. “And I think I still kind of feel the same way I did the first second I met him.”

ICYMI: Charlie found himself under fire after doing a wildly inappropriate impression of Riley — one that leaned heavily on racial stereotypes and had no basis in reality. When Riley confronted him with grace and clarity, instead of owning up, Charlie doubled down and walked back his apology.

Ariana, however, wasn’t so composed watching it all go down.

“[Riley] really handled it better than honestly I would have,” she admitted. “I wanted to punch him out. Very disrespectful and gross.”

Say what you want about Ariana Biermann, but her ride-or-die energy is unmatched.

After a reality TV hiatus, she’s returned as Next Gen NYC’s surprise breakout — and honestly? We’re here for it!
