But a regular smartphone can come with a lot more than just calls and texts Social media, internet browsers, endless apps and constant distractions can be a lot for kids to carry into the new school year I used to be one of those kids who was last or next the last in the carpool parent pickup.

That's Gab GA BB I feel like everybody's on the same page with Charlie and the fact that suck and I gave Hudson a fair warning about hanging out with Charlie because I was like, you know what Charlie's been? You know, he's a horrible influence and you need to be careful with him. Like you've seen what he got into this summer. Are you guys okay? Yeah. We're gossiping. aboutbout our favorite person Charlie. Can I tell you something Hons I with Charlie. That's bad news. I know that. I ca him the same pick for you the past couple of weeks. becausecause he did this with my ex. I think he wants to have a friend here in the city Welcome back to another episode here at Everyone's Business Butline with me, Cara Barry. Today we're talking the Riley Sh, AKA Next genen NYC. Our girl is back. I'm feeling a lot more interesterested We'll say that And Yeah, we got a lot to talk about. Um, let's get into it, shall we? I felt like I had something to say, Oh It was just a forewarning that I'm off that drink right now And by that, I mean I've had three sips of a Mexican Coca Cola And I'm likely to have several more So Who knows what's to happen? I usually don't have an afternoon libation usually I end my Cffeine intake around eleven thirty. so we'll see what happens. Your girls had a long day. We're chugging through. We're chugging this bottle Let's get in next gen NYC, shall we We're in episode two, right? We're meeting new people. We're expanding the universe I have seen a lot of people say that the expansion of the universe is a bit of a turn offff and that they feel like there are entirely too many Gen Zars and Charlie on this cast. I Disagree. I feel like I'm having fun I don't really have to have a big opinion on that, do I? We can move on. let's talk about what's going on, right We left off Ava was upset and I guess I do have to do a little bit of takeakes se backackseat because I was in the premiere like a little bit of annoyd with Ava, like girl. Why are we harbying on A potential unfallllow from Tsa. of all people But here we are again. We're really hashing it out with Gia Still, in the top of this episode, Ave is going on about how you called me a liar in public And then she says in a confessional, G of all people should know how devastating it is to have someone like her callalling her a liar. They're acting like everybody in the show acts like Gia is like an A list or comparatively and I didn't need to laugh It just there does seem to be a reverence for Gia U that I find particularly interesting because I don't even feel like she's the main cast member of this show. I mean, she is Butake She's kind in the middle of the road You know, like she's a name, but We're not like often at home with Gia You know, we're not cross we had to cross the bridge a couple of times last season, but like most part, like gia was crashing over in Dumbo with Ariana this episode. And frankly, I liked it. I feel like, Jeeia, you ought to move to the city. I know you don't want to, but like can you just try it Just try it. I think it would do wonders for her. To be fair, this is like the suck up Manhattan night in me where I'm like, girl, if you have the coin and you're in your twenties and you can do it Why on earth would you not move to the city? like anywhere in the city, Brooklyn? You know, like why not? but And people are real separate over here. Like you could live in Brooklyn your whole life and never once go to Manhattan It'd be like that sometimes, so I'm gonna let it go I do think you should do it though, anyway. So here's my thing I had to take S Baxy on Ava is that Gia does kind of change his story and the narrative does shift from My mom absolutely didn't follow you, so therefore she never unfollowed you to, well, maybe it was a mistake to thenen like, my mom couldn't have possibly done that Now here's the thing. I mean withith all due We're talking about Tsa. It's very belieelievable to me that she might follow and unfollow, but like I'm gonna give you credit, Ava. You weren't lying I thought she was lying, but I just like don't see why this really cares in the grand scheme of things, why it matters. But she's not lying. And Gia made her sound like a liar and said she was lying and she wasn't So there's that. I still don't see why any of this matters or why it would need to be Nothing in the first place But here we are. Half a point for Miss Asash But here's the other thing. What's so funny about these Kids are that they're green enough to like not quite, even though some of these are like you know, housewives children have been on television for years Most of their lives, some of them there's still like a greenness to it where like you can nobody is like all that good at u keepeing their feelings inside. And I appreciate that. like at the end of the episode, Brooks literally goes running of a situation with an urban outfitter's swag bag over his arm because he can't say how awkward. the energy is. So I appreciate moments like this I do. I just do. Ebody around them is watching this discussion and it seems like nobody even knows what the fuck is going on, which lead me leads me to believe that Ava is absolutely just making this a thing for television because somebody would know like everybody on this cast is basically in a half circle around them watching them and are like, Trying to piece it together in real time of what the issue is They genuinely don't know. Charlie gets it first. He like, I think this has to be with a follow one follow. This is why I don't follow anybody on Instagram Whenevers early saying is that this hallways happens when People keep an energy for somebody And that energy is like, I don't trust you, I don't trust your whole cononstitution And there's like an isolation, the appearance of isolation, then people feel empathy for Charlie. and I'm Persally, you might call me a hater, but I'm holding the line because I think everybody's right. there's something sinister about that kid. And I don't think like This is like definitely a nature and nurture situation I'm looking at the parents I do feel like he's not inherent like a Totally evil person I feel like he's really got to get it together Because Ariana's right There's like side to him that's obviously very charming, but then there's this other side to him that's like real dangerous. And he's like out here playing real bad in these streets. and like you do have to be careful about that Let's be real, if you met a dog and the owner was like, you know, most of the time they're really sweet, sometimes they will bite you. You're gonna to keep your distance just in case. and I think everybody should take heed Is this one bites sometimes Butook back to Ava. She's playing in Gia's face saying, u Be G is like, I really don't think my mom did that. And he was like, Okaykay, so what? now it's a fake AI. I guess we're just like fully in the era now where we're just going callall things AI. If it doesn't feel real, if it's a scheme, if your husband's girlfriend is posting in real time Instrams Of you hanging out with of her hanging out with your husband, Rula. you're gonna to be like it's AI. It's made up Pash GPT Whatever This is the world we're living in now This is the world we're living in. Here's the other thing. I am, you know, like I said on Gia's side where she's in a confessional like u Why do you even ha this screenshot of my mom following you Like is that important See you like You know, that's a fair question as well Why are you as like a twenty four fiveive six year old Avid Dash White. Why would you care about Deresa Das That's actually kind of surprising to me Th thing we get very G y. Gia tells Ava, I don't really see what the problem is. The other day, I slid into teaered Instagram stories and called you gorgeous So, you know, can we move on? I'm not a mean person They make up, I guess, but then they don't. And then we find out Gia is absolutely her mother's daughter. She's saying it' a conffessional. Mbe mayaybe it was AI Maybe now that's going through my head now. L girl . Then she says, peoplee posted the AI photo of me pregnant the other day. so maybe it is Next So Liam The Kolkan not Kolkan that we met last week He's in Ariana. We're at the club. They're giving each other eyes from behind or below their cowboy hats and Hudson is hovering. Okay, we are really hovering. He is very much making his presence known as much as he can, all five foot six of him and kind of like Be big dog a little bit to all five foot seven of LM. Like this is a real short king on short king crime But h sinces like You know, like just making it known and like, hey, that's my girl He and Arianna start talking about 're matching tatts. He's asking, didid you get our tattoo removed? She's like, no In the two weeks that we've been broken up, Hudson now I haven't gone and got my tattoos removed She's got an H and A, H plus A inside a heart on her arm. He's got her signature on his arm. and he tells us in a conffessional, I'm fully thinking that we're gonna get back together So I'm keeping this on me we find out that Hudson while Ariana was out of earshot went over to Liam and was like, Hey That's my girl. Don't do anything crazy. Liam's like, Hey, man, I don't I'm good Liam then goes and tells Brooks what happened, and Brooks is like, well, maybe he's clocking that y'all have chemistry. But then he says, you know, last year Cuts into the same thing. he kind of laid down the law with Charlie But like Good and well, I guess, but he can't control Ariana and what she does Then we find out Shay also has a crush on Ariana. He doesn't really want to admit it, but it's very obvious He leaves the party. Ariana, I'm a little bit confused because Ariana's like, hey, come hang out at my new place. come check it out They exchange information, but then I says Hudson also told him last year. Hey That's my girl because Shy had texted him Si texted Ariana Hudson found out. Hudson then reached out to Shy and was like, Do not speak to my girlfriend directly without my supervision or whatever But then they ask Cheena C conffessional, so did you stop talking to Ariana one on one? who's like, for the most part. So what information are you guys exchanging in this moment time becausecause they show Sy on the way in the car texting Arianna Like, hey, I'm pulling up to the party. So I'm confused But this seems like very much like three things can be true Hudson doesn't need to be like going around and telling guys that they can't speak to Ariana, but also all these guys very much seem to have real feelings for her if those feelings are just like, I want to hook up with her and she's really hot So there is validity to the things that he's saying, but he also has no, he shouldn't be saying that. You shouldn't be going around at people and telling people not to speak to anybody. L that's wild. 'use he's been saying in this confessional, like these men can do whatever they want, but I'm also gonna to let them know. And it's like, well, they can do whatever they want because you're laying them now So then Ariana gives us a little bit more insight into the breakup. She says that last year she gave Hudson, a year long ultimatum. like you got a year to get your shit together. If you're complaining about you don't feel good, you need to start eating better. If you're complaining about you don't feel good, you need to start working out. He wasn't doing any of that and he was just, you know I get it it On the one hand, you could be like, oh, that sounds controlling on Ariana's part. but then on the other hand, if you've ever been in a relationship with somebody who never does anything actionable and it feels like And this is not like a depression thing. It's like they can very much take control of their life. And what they choose to do instead is complain It is Very irksome and it is not sexy So I get a girl So at this point in the night, Hudson tells Ariana, I guess she's about to head back to Atlanta So He says goodbye to her But then she's telling him before he leaves, like, hey I don't care if you hang out with Charlie I just don't want you getting involved in anything he's got going on. Like please be careful. ' I don't want you to be influenced by him and his stff Hudson does a big play.' like, al right, I love you. He kisses her as closely to her mouth as he can, which, you know, lands on the cheek And you know, it's very like lingering H, she's nuzzling into her neck. L I mean, remember being in your twenties And the emotions are so big and the stakes are so high You know what I mean What a time He leaves Briele there And you know, they're having a sister moment. Braille's checking in on her girl And she's like, I just have like this anxiety. There's like a lot of emotions around this. And Rils like, you know, it is a lot, but You never choose yourself, little girl And you need to start doing that. And this is the first decision that you made in your life breaking up with him So stick with it And Arianna, because remember, it's her birthday. I was like, you know what all I want for my birthday at this point is to not say this boy's name and go home So then we hang out with Jackson the next day And by Jackson, I mean, Spike Lee's child I did not acknowledge that. If y'all check the episode notes, I did put in the episode description last week for the premiere a caveat that I did not realize that Liam's friend Jackson was Spike Lee's child. So Liam Jackson and their girlfriend Kendall They're all hanging out. Ke King. Turns out in the yearar of ourur Lord twenty twenty six Liam just learned the term Kiki whichich is actually incredible But he tells Kendall and Jackson that He got the warning from Hudson basically like keep her hands off my girl And he's like, listen I will. I don't respect it, but I'm not on love Island, okay. I'm just here to have a good time Kendall then just says, like to be fair, they were in a relationship for like seven years and he's like, ye, but you're also not in a relationship anymore So Jackson tells him, listen, do you, brother You don't have any loyalty to Hudson. you just met the kid, so do what you want So also that morning, Gia is waking up in Dumbo thinking about so many things Ariana tells her I just got this text from Brooks about Hudson telling Liam to not Speak to me and basically like he's got a claim on me. G is like, and you know what? I've got anxiety because of Ava Dash So we're not over this. Okay All right She tells Ariana Ava wants her name cleared because she like is nervous about her image, but like, That really killed my vibe. Girl, let it go. I'm telling you to let it go, Gia But then we go back to Ariana, Ariana starts talking about Hudson trying to or Charlie rather trying to sing his little claws into Hudson and how Hudson, when they were together was fully like, Yeahah, Charlie's a clown, he's an opportunist And then Wow, not even surprised. Ariana says Charlie started calling Hudson and then was like, Hey man, do you want to invest in this club opportunity that I have hooking up on my brain for a cool one million dollar buy in Hudson told Arihana, there's no fucking way I'm gonna to do it. I'm just entertaining the idea So now she's like, I don't know what the fuck's going on, and how are their friends now So flashback to last year, Kim Aam's mama to sink in on the type of woman Kim is Looked and told u mr heir to the Zacksby's fortune You're a target And I don't know if it's all the diamonds you wear, but you are And you know who also said that last season? Charlie. and you You know what the Venn diagram of Charlie and Kim seems to be Ne I say more They're looking in your face and they're telling you your mark, dude. Don't take the bait Shout out to Desi from Hollywood Crime scene. I always get this parable wrong I'm going to try to get it right. It's a scorpion. And The frog. I think I may have gotten this right for the first time in history the parable being the frog needs cross the river And it looked over at the sccorpion and was like, canan you help me? And the sccorpion' like, I will sting you I'm just like, you know, like I'm nice, but this is just who I am. I'm a scorpion. And the frog's like, Okaykay, whatever, you can help me across anyway. And the scorpion stings the frog and's like, I told you. They're telling you. Cross the river, Hudson Not with those two So Ariana' tellingia Hudson told me himself, Charlie only wants money, so I'm just really trying to understand why he's now trying to be friends with him. Th then we head over to Charlie. He's walking through Chinatown and he pulls up to this office next to the like you know, what used to be like the ten dollar buses, the Chinatown buses that would take you to like, Philly or DC or whatever Um He pulls up to this office and that's where Omar is Omar, Georgia's sketchy ass ex boyfriend, that scam and ass sketchy ass boyfriend who was wearing the same suit in literally every episode that we saw him in all half season She was living with him. We saw the apartment briefly and it was very much giving Airbnb U To me, like just looking at it like this is not a real. apartment But so he broke up with her, left her somewhere in Asia. I can't remember which country and now is friends with Charlie. and they're going into business with each other Now I'm led to believe that this is a thirty fiveive at most year year old entrepreneur. Omar And you're F Qion mark, question mark. seven question marks after that is some Weirdo space in Chinatown. The desk is not even in the right direction. The more I'm looking at the scene and I'm like Why would the drawers be facing Charlie and not you, Omar? That's crazy. And then all along the walls is this like built in cabinetry, I guess and it just got shit everywhere. just like Tash and junk and random shit And one janky backwards desk in the middle of the room Jammers, like why are we not just saying what this is I don't know whose space this is. I don't think anybody use this as an office space. I think maybe Omar knows the guy who owns this and he's like, there's a desk in here. I don't know. he really brings S you know, his girlfriend there, like this is not in all like they're not doing business here party to watching like Inevitably this sh this this footage is going to be in a documentary. I feel like every time I see him on television The twenty four clock just like,. before this kid has a federal indictment, another one, excuse me. I forgot he's already had one from years ago before he met Georgia. And I'm tal another one Look it up I don't know his last name. Look up, Omar, nextext genen NYC indictment and go from there For more I recall, it was and I'll be generous by saying in the Universse of Ponzi scheme, I think it was in the same home Omar allegations. so we'll call them. And then Gor Charlie Remember his job was crypto kind of last season But it seemed like every money that he made from maybe a Bitcoin that he had at some point in time. Went to Weed So And this is never mind Charlie in Hll says that he wants to be in the nightlife. becausecause he has been in the clubs since he was fifteen and going to places that didn't take IDs So it's a good fit Basically they do this whole scene to talk about how they're definitely not taking Georgia's B idea, even though she thinks that, it's not. They're not doing anything to do with bowling and that's that Charlie says George was delusional. Omar's like, she's just upset that we're now friends And then Charlie says, Ohh, by the way, I'm fascinated if George is going to get this new boyfriend of hers to like pay for her lifestyle Why would you care?

You and Georgia We're in Theew Jersey waters Because Riley V. Burris last season dropped her phone and she was like, I'll pay however much hundred dollars hundred to somebody who finds it. And both y'all were like, and jump only to find out that Riley actually had a whole other phone. She's like, I just preferred that one because it has better better connection And to me, that was a great moment in Back history I wish I told Riley that when I had the chance So here's like I don't know what your blame in Georgia for like getting her lifestyle funded. You're exactly trying to do the same thing, Charles R right Then we go to Georgia. Georgia She's mad. She's herer boyfriend's name's Pz, P R E easy And she says, I'm like, she's down bad for this kid. She says he's the complete opposite of Omar. He says like this perfect angel baby, untouched, untapped a wealthy Manhattan boy. and then Ava, who's in the confessional with her goes Is he all that different from Omar? Be didn't you say he was also in crypto? And she's like, no, he's crypto adjacent Avbe is like, okay, so we're moving further and further away from the crypto boys Great I would like you to continue to move away from that. And Ava, you ain't never lied. Crypto money's funny money, and I'll stand by that Georgia says He's got real money, Pz or he's got a more legitimate job. It's not crypto. It's that he's getting crypto guys to fund his business idea which is an opinions based betting app So an opinion like, is M Donnie's wife hot that type of thing So it's only crypto adjacement because the crypto guys are funding it becausecause he used to work in crypto, so that's how he knows them. So Great You know what I was just thinking about Back in my day when the girls were coming of age and they were trying to find like a rich dude to um link up with There was like a slew of like Greek shipping heirs Um, you know, like restaurant tour airs. there were like dudes who had legitimate Maybe new money, but real money And all those are gone And now I think we're in this dead space of like the rich guys have these like weird money that is like, I don't know, like where' the old money go? Where' the new real money go Where are those boys? Be I don't hear nothing about them these days. Like they I don't feel like they're around like they were when I was in my early twenties. This girl is telling us that the reason why she is intont press is because they're so alike in the sense that their birthdays are a week apart and they're both from New York and they don't wash their hands that much Help us all. We go over to Amira. Rilly And Ava and Amira landed a Urban Outfitters holiday campaign. so they're going to be hosting a party and A's like trying to hassle Amira lets us know that this is Ava's first campaign, her first like real big campaign. She's mostly just been doing like, you know, collab posts, pay partnerships on Instagram. This is like some real shit for her It was like looking at Amira's lifestyle, her pink g wagon, the sixteen thousand dollars a month apartment And she's like, I'm trying to get like you, my girl So we go over to Amiras and we see more of a day in the life of a diva and a content creator She's waking up about five o'clock. We're doing glam. where Do content and brand deals until about six thirty. And then after that is a whole day of going to events, going to lunches Um, you know Free stuff like that She's got a lot going on Long, long days, events, dinners. Brand meetings So many social engagements, so a little st She said From five to six thirty and I feel like a chunk of that is just her waking up and doing glam. so We're talking like forty five minutes of content creation and the rest of her day is just like Good for you, girl. Good for you Finally, Riley's back And guess what She's already over it. She doesn't know what the hell's going on. Everybody's in the group chat. They're texting her too much. She's putting her phone down for five minutes. She's picking it up. twenty messages are there. Everybody's hing, every comment, it's a lot going on Everybody says Riley is really hard to get in contact with. She barely txts us back But Listen, to be fair and Riley She took a little gap here last year After graduating NYU Traveled didid her thing, you know, got some life experience And then decided She wanted to be a DJ, but now she's about to she's actively, we see her applying to Columbia to go to law school because she says she wants to be an entertainment lawyer. So to be fair to Ms. Riley, I mean, she's doing things She and Brooks talk on the phone and she's like, I'm the one going back to school You're the one who's running these businesses Brooks is like, yeah, I don't know about that. It's like going really slowly It's actually not working out that well right now But then they talk about coming from, you know Legends. Meredith Candy Burris. And how? Briiley was trying to be sweet, but she said, Look at our moms. They're probably more successful now than they've ever been and they're like thirty years older than us So that's really, you know, encouraging. J keep going I see Amira at dinner with her parents. They're in town They're two cuties. Her parents are divorced, but they're like, you know keeping it cute for their girl But Amir is talking about, you know, I really have to hustle She came from Dallas. She says, unlike these other people, my name, my last name, doesn't do anything in this town So I got to actually make it work. She also went to NYU But she's like, I'm in the dorms, but I have friends who were supposed to be living in the dorms and then they didn't want to. And so their parents bought them a seven million dollar apartment. So you know, I just live a very different lifestyle I had heard a lot of people being like, oh my God, I love this scene with Amira and her parents And I thought it was going to be like an inspiring thing where we talk about, you know, the fact that she's trans and you know, like maybe we have like a typical my parents are accepting of me and everything's cool. but it was like really nothing. and I mean that in the best way possible. Like there's no mention of any sort of thing. It just parents and their child and they're talking about parenting and everything is fibe and're not there's no adversity. It seems like for parents love her and accept her. and it's just like, this is their kid and this is a kid talking to their their parents. And That was it. And in that way, it was actually incredible Conversely, we see AvA walking around Seaport, having herself a little slice, dropping it on the ground, watching or looking right at the camera and being like, come on guys, like what did they do That was funny. Girl, if you don't pick that pizza up, and put in the trash Please do not later Especially on a camer girl, anyway She talks about Again, like I'm trying to get like Ava I do have a last name, but that can be a blessing and a curse. well in your curase, I think it's just a curse And she's You know, living in the shadow of her parents, which is unfortunate and how you to make your own and build your own brand? That sucks, so she's hustling She was living with her boyfriend So I guess Charlie and Ava's boyfriend Hook live on the same floor But she's trying to move out of Hook's place, get her own place Georia offers up an apartment because she knows somebody who owns it? And Ava's like, well, does it have a doorman? 'use I need privacy or security? And Georgia says, well, it's above a sushi restaurant, so you can get free sushi if you want So that's Georgia Then we see Georgia talking to a member of her gake Grapevine about Charlie, she is still hell bent on the idea that Charlie is actively stealing her chic nighttime bowling business So she's mad. but Georgia tells her friend Here's the thing with Charlie is it like he's On one hand, the guy who let me crash on his couch for a month And I can't discount that But then on the other hand, he's the guy who said seven thousand really unacceptable things. behind the scenes and I have clients who have told me in the last couple of months We're like a little iffy I'm working with you because of your association with Charlie which is even more frustrating because I'm not even like even actually friends with this kid in this moment in time. Also, George's biggest gripe in life seems to be that she is not a trust fund kid. As a suburban like middle class child I you know, like your dreams of being like like like God, I wish I was rich or, you know, like I God, I wish my I could have a car like BMW or whatever When I turned sixteen and she's like I have to work so hard because I can't just ask my family for you know, a quarter of a million dollars Oh, we have different Gals Like it's clear to me that Georgia was the poorest of her rich friends. And so therefore, in her mind, she thinks that she's poor. poorh, you know? So then we go to Charlie and Shy Shy tos Charlie He's always been really supportive of Georgia and her stuff, but he was a little disappointed because He had an event for his clothing line. he does like upcyycled Um And shirts I guess he gets them from old people And then he sells them, I don't know. God bless them God bless you shy, I like you But he says that he had an event for that company and that George promised to go and then like at the last minute, she bailed. And Charlie's like, wow, that's like really fucked up. And then Shy has to be like, yeah, and you also didn't come. And you could tell that Charlie really had to be like lie and be like, oh yeah, I prior engagements, but I absolutely would have come But then they both start talking about Ariana and they Both make it pretty clear Yeahah, we have crushes on Ariana, but Charlie's asking Shy, like, wouldould you go for it? And he's like, no, no, no, like definitely not And then Charlie's like, yeah, I would definitely feel bad if I fuck Tudson's girlfriend, ex girlfriend Shy says in a confessional, I'm just gonna say this right on camera. Charlie says really crazy things and I don't agree with a lot of it trying to figure out why Charlie keeps talking about fucking Ariana. as though this is entirely his decision And like the only reason why it hasn't happened is because he has chosen not to Now this girl iss going around not only not interested in him sexually Like I don't even want him in anybody's life. I'm trying to get him Get his grip off of Hudson. and I've already broken up with this man. so It's just very interesting to me that Charlie thinks he has an option And he's just choosing not to take it. You're not being a good friend. You're not friends with Hudson. Let's start there. Secondly, she doesn't want you That's too. grand opening, grand closing. Anyway, before the big urban outfitters party, we have to briefly check in with Liam Brooks calls him. Liam is living his life. He's basically the Luke Gold Bronson. Did y'all know that that's how he pronounnce his last name? I didn't find that out until he announced his run. for Congress, Luke from Summer House Gil Bronsson, not Gil Bransson. anyyway, Liam is the Luke of nextext gen NYC because his parents own a house upstate. So he's like Being a firefighter and riding horses up there is like a real double life shit from what's happening down in Manhattan So we are like gearing up for the party, but then we see a bunch of texts being exchanged because people are trying to figure out, is Charlie coming? Because we don't want him there Arianna's texting Riley, like, do you know if he's coming? because if so I need to work on my breath exercises Now Riley doesn't fuck with Charlie, but she also is not sure why Ariana doesn't fuck with Charlie. So she's confused and that's her bestie And then we find out that Riley and Shay got on real quick when they met last year and Riley's like, you know, I don't really like warm up to people that quickly, but there was something about him and we became fast friends But now he's friends with Charlie and she's confused about that. Amira invited Charlie So They're going to find out later Now Amira lets us know that she thinks that Charlie's really misunderstood and that he finds himself in precarious situations. But he's not necessarily who he associates himself with And because of that she feels for him because she just feels like Charlie gets wrapped up in things And then people in the group can be judgmental Now I would like to remind that Charlie was being micro aggressive towards Riley last season, so she has every reason in the world to now fuck with him Brooks, good friends with Riley, also has every reason in the world to not fuck with Charlie because of that called Ally shhip. So Ariana Same thing, but she's also now got her personal investment with the fact that Charlie iss trying to siphon money. Aa Hobs out of his french fry and chicken finger emmpire. Great I missed the Zack sauce to this day This is no shade. And also Georgia doesn't trust him either We also have to remember that Charlie's like thirty one He is by far the oldest person on this cast by quite a bit And most of these people are twenty two, twenty three, twenty four Child is like thirty, thirty one at this point. And given what we know about the whole crypto torture house story, The fact that Charlie had been crashing at that house for months leading up to the kidnapping, the kidnapper The kidnaap victim running out of the house and trying to find the nearest cop. that I just find it highly, highly unlikely that you could be crashing at somebody's house for months. Bringing girls from Brandy Millville over to the crib to party and have no idea that there's an Italian man Who's being kidnapped for his bititcoin So for people to be like, o God, like they're so Charlie, really. theseese people are like so concerned about their reputation and like how things look. Yeah This is very reasonable. When we look at the facts, youre you have a pending lawsuit, my guy. Like what's not clicking And I just feel like Listen, Amira and Charlie could have a genuine Legitimate friendship But facts on paper I would be concerned Amira, you're a pretty big fish in this whole situation. in terms of the show and in terms of like Your level of clout in the ranking of popularity of people on the show, if that matters And so you might want to consider Whether or not Charlie might just be nice to you because he knows he's got to be nice to somebody And you might be the easiest one You're a lovely person And he should genuinely like you But you might just want to consider might not be the case. But anyway, let's have a little bit of fun because we meet Rowan Henchhey, Brooks Shield's daughter. I talked to her in the bathroom. She was lovely at the preremier party Arianne is friends with Rowan She lets us know Roman's quirky but not like Geororda whichich felt like a little bit like shade, unintentional shade But I cau it Rowan. she shows up to this party She takes What she thinks is a lovely chicken nugget with a caviar on top She bites into it. When I tell you, that thing was pink Pink they didn't have to zoom in. you could see how pink it was Oh girl Bless her Rowan lets us know right off the bat I grew up different than most, and I recognize that Okay But I was never a Brookshields as my mom I was more like my Mama's Brook Shields, if that makes sense. I barely But yes George's boyfriend, Pz, actually happens to be family friends with Rowan, so we know that he's M robably got some family money because Rowan says that they're like vacation friends So Rowan's got connections to Ariana in Georgia Charlie shows up to this party Brooks is also confused about Amira and Charlie being friends. He says actually, I thought they stopped talking after everything transpired last year So I'm actually really confused. Amira has been saying that she and Charlie have been friends for a long time, but when you're like under the age of twenty five, I don't know how old Amir is, but a long time could be a year, a year and a half. like I really don't know So Charlie and Shy are kind of like party pals, party partners, little buddies with each other. They go up to Brooks and Riley. Well, Shy goes up to Brooks and Riley and Charlie's there He tries to say hi. Charlie tries to say hi to Riley, and she's like, I'm good and she walks away. So a producer asks Riley and a confessional, what is your relationship with Charlie And she looks at them so crazy and says, is that actually a question So we hear Riley tell Shy, I don't want to be around him. Why would you bring Charlie around me And he's like, I didn't. He's not my plus one. Like he had his own invitation to this party. I had nothing to do with it. Now, Charlie says in a confessional, Riley's being Riley. I don't know why But I do have a heart and I do feel guilty. okay, so you do know why. You don't know why, but you feel guilty? How does that make sense And then he says, when I feel like I've done something wrong, I love to apologize. I can't keep it in. So what we see is spoiler alert, not even close to an apology. He goes up to Riley, puts his arm around her, and Riley's like, you know, I don't like hugs Pase So then he immediately is like, Riley, why are you on some weird shit? You know why she's upset with you Riley's like, you're shady. And he says, What have I done shadady since the last time I saw you? Which is a layered thing If the last time I saw you, you did something shady That would be what I'm hanging on to. But also since then, if we really want to get into it, you've got this big ass pnding charge. So Riley looks at him crazy again and it clicks with Charlie and he goes, o, I mean, what have I done to you specifically? That's shady. And Riley is like, yeah, that might be a better question. Since the last time I saw you, technically no, you have not done anything to me So Charlie's like, oh, so you just mean the public perception. And Riley's like, yeah You're consistent, I'll say that This ad is sponsored by ZakDoc. It's Danny Pellgrino from Everything Iconic.
