Wait, What? Next Gen NYC’s Charlie Zakkour Claims He Dated Lindsay Lohan When He Was in High School

Time will tell if Charlie Zakkour will be Next Gen NYC’s breakout star — but his backstory is already raising eyebrows.

The Bravo series — which premiered Tuesday, June 3 — follows a group of Nepo babies and their inner circle as they navigate balancing their careers, friendships and relationships in the Big Apple.

Next Gen NYC stars Gia Giudice, Brooks Marks, Riley Burruss, Ariana Beirmann — whose respective mothers have appeared on the Housewives franchise — Damon Dash’s daughter Ava Dash, Hudson McLeroy, Emira D’Spain, Georgia McCann, Shai Fruchter and Zakkour. 

During the premiere, McCann claimed Zakkour, 30, had “dated quite the repertoire of women,” including “Lindsay Lohan.”

The crypto trader confirmed the news in a confessional interview, as a photo of a younger Zakkour kissing the actress, 38, on the cheek flashed onto the screen.  “She would like, pick me up from school,” he said of Lohan. “Oh yeah, my high school loved that sh-t.”

It’s unknown how Lohan and Zakkour initially crossed paths, and the Mean Girls star — who shares 23-month-old son Luai with husband Bader Shammas — has yet to publicly address the claims. 

According to Zakkour’s Bravo bio, the private investor has “been ruling NYC’s club scene since he was 14, and he knows everyone (and their secrets).” The site also describes him as “charming but blunt,” and “fiercely loyal, especially to close confidants.” 

The reality series is shaping up to be a hit with drama already brewing. In the first episode, Bierrman, 23, claimed that her parents — Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann — had taken her money amid their messy split.

Meanwhile, Burruss, 22, and McCann clashed after McCann opted to skip washing her hands following a trip to the bathroom. Longtime pals Zakkour and Marks, 25, also butt heads over Zakkour’s decision to make unsavory comments following a date with Marks’ younger sister, Chloe.

It won’t be the last time Zakkour faces off with a pal on camera.  A trailer teasing the rest of the season shows McCann telling Zakkour, “You still get money from your dad, $10,000 in allowance?” to which he replies, “You would not be on this show if it weren’t for me.” 

The jury is out on whether Zakkour will be the series’ heartbreaker or resident troublemaker. In May, Page Six reported that Zakkour was at the home of John Woeltz, a crypto investor accused of kidnapping and torturing a crypto millionaire. Zakkour, for his part, was not arrested or charged with any crime.

Next Gen NYC airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
