00:00Ava, we're so excited to talk to you all about Next Gen NYC Season 2.
00:04Last season, your castmates were a bit critical of you being absent.
00:08Will we be seeing more of you this season?
00:10Yes, you'll definitely see a lot more of me this season.
00:13I think I was a little bit scared last season to just open up and be vulnerable.
00:19It just, I don't know, that was scary to me.
00:21But this season, I've really tried my best to open up and be there more.
00:26And I think you guys will really enjoy it, or I hope you do.
00:29It seems like you and Georgia have grown really close.
00:31What can you say about the evolution of your friendship with her?
00:35Yeah, I think she's such a quirky, funny girl, and she cracks me up.
00:40So I think we naturally just kind of gravitated towards each other.
00:44And yeah, I love re-watching the episodes and seeing our funny little dynamic and our banter.
00:50And obviously the big topic in the premiere episode is Ariana and Hudson's breakup.
00:55You and Georgia both said you thought it was PR for the show.
00:57It's not real. It's PR for the show. I don't care. I'm not going to say otherwise.
01:01I agree.
01:02Do you think they used ChatGPT to help write the post?
01:04I was wondering that.
01:05Why do you think they would fake a breakup for publicity, and where do you stand in that debate now?
01:10Well, for me at that time, I just, I didn't know Ariana very well.
01:14I didn't know anything about like the ins and outs of her relationship.
01:17So all I saw was that the day we started filming, they posted a breakup announcement.
01:22And to me, it just seemed like interesting timing.
01:26And so that's why I thought possibly it could be like a storyline type of thing.
01:31But now that I've gotten closer with Ariana and I understand like where, you know, how everything was going for
01:38the two of them,
01:39I absolutely know that it wasn't a fake breakup.
01:42You and Georgia were also the first to bring up Charlie living at the crypto torture house.
01:46Do you ever see Charlie? You guys are in like the same hallway.
01:49Literally never.
01:50That's crazy.
01:51It's honestly like really wild.
01:52Well, that's because he was at the torture house.
01:54He was at the crypto torture house living there for two months.
01:58Oh my God.
01:59What was your reaction to seeing Charlie in the news when that all went down?
02:02I mean, I was so surprised.
02:04At that time, Charlie and I weren't really talking that much.
02:07So I had no idea really what he was up to.
02:10And so to see those images, I just, I was very surprised.
02:15And Charlie's Bravo bio says he's trying to keep the peace that he's a reformed bad boy and that he
02:20wants to remain drama free.
02:21How do you think he did this season?
02:24Well, he's definitely not drama free.
02:26So we can't give him that.
02:27But he did try.
02:28And I think he's a lot more able to like own up to his stuff this season.
02:34And he tries to be like a little bit softer and a little bit more friendly.
02:39And you also talked about the comments Charlie made about your body last season.
02:43Last summer, he was just so disrespectful.
02:45Always making comments about like my body.
02:47Kind of dope.
02:48One of your little nipple tanks.
02:49What?
02:51My dad watching that.
02:52My boyfriend watching that.
02:54Like, we're not happy.
02:55No.
02:55What was your dad's reaction to seeing those?
02:58Oh, he was not a fan.
02:59Didn't love.
03:00He did have a combo with Charlie where he was like, no more of that.
03:05And I will say Charlie, someone that can respect a boundary.
03:08Like, if you give him a boundary, he'll stay within it.
03:10Or at least that's my experience with him.
03:11So he's definitely cooled out a lot.
03:15And we really appreciated your honesty when it came to your eviction notice.
03:19You know, I want to say must be nice, but she probably is like, it was.
03:22Just to be clear, I was not evicted.
03:25I may have gotten a notice.
03:28Who hasn't?
03:28How did that all unfold?
03:29And were you planning to be so upfront about it on the show?
03:34Honestly, I didn't really have a plan with how I was going to address it.
03:37I was just doing my confessionals and producers asked me about it.
03:41So I was like, you know what?
03:41I guess this is my time.
03:44Because I wasn't, it wasn't, I'm not usually someone that will like comment on a headline,
03:48especially not if it's about my family or like has to do with my family.
03:51I just let it kind of ride out.
03:56But I just figured I have this platform and like people are curious and they want me to
03:59open up.
04:00So I'm gonna, and hopefully they, you know, respond well to it.
04:05And so far they have.
04:06So I'm glad that I was honest about it.
04:09And like my dad knew it was coming.
04:12Um, but yeah, if your landlord's not getting the total amount of rent, you might get a notice.
04:18Learn that.
04:19You also said that you think the rumors that come out about you and your family are quite
04:22funny.
04:23I honestly love seeing what people put out about me and my family and my life on the internet.
04:27I think it's funny at the end of the day.
04:29Some things are so wrong.
04:32It's just like, whatever, I'm not going to comment.
04:34What's the craziest false rumor you've ever read or heard?
04:38I mean, there's so many things.
04:40I don't even know.
04:41I mean, like every day there's just always something, especially with my dad.
04:44And like, I feel like my dad likes to kind of troll online and people like take it seriously
04:50a lot.
04:51And so it's like funny to see like how serious people take him when like, he's just joking.
04:57Like he right now, he has a viral song, a diss track out.
05:00And I think people are like really taking it too serious.
05:04When in reality, he's like at home laughing, like, you know, like he just wants to have
05:09a good time.
05:10Shifting gears a little bit.
05:11Obviously there was some drama between you and Gia in the premiere episode.
05:15You were upset that Gia accused you of lying when you said Teresa unfollowed you on Instagram.
05:19You said that my mom unfollowed you.
05:21Right.
05:22No, she didn't.
05:23When you're coming after my mother, I'm going to call you a liar.
05:26I did not come after your mom, you're dragging me.
05:27I didn't say anything mean about you or your mother.
05:30You're not owning that you also talk s***.
05:33How did you realize that Teresa had stopped following you and have you gotten to talk
05:37to her about the situation at all?
05:39Yes.
05:39I, um, I just opened Instagram and I saw that she had followed me and I was like, oh cool.
05:45And like went to go follow her back and like, it didn't say that anymore.
05:47So I was like, oh, okay.
05:50I see what's happening.
05:51And I was already in a weird place with the group.
05:53And so I just figured like, all right, people must be talking about me and like going to
05:58my page and she probably like followed and unfollowed by accident.
06:00But like, it made me just feel like everyone was talking badly about me.
06:04And it was like another thing in this group of friends that was making me kind of feel
06:09like I wanted to isolate from the group rather than get closer.
06:12And so that's why I originally had brought it up in my confessional.
06:15It was never to like tear anyone down or never expected it to drag on to season two.
06:21Um, but yeah, I just didn't want to be called a liar by someone that I consider a friend.
06:29And all I wanted was her to apologize for it in this, in the second episode, you'll see
06:33I showed the receipts.
06:34So she knew I wasn't lying.
06:36Teresa, are you guys following you?
06:38Not following me.
06:39It doesn't say follow about.
06:41Okay.
06:42But that's an unfollow.
06:43What do you mean?
06:44And yeah, I met Teresa at BravoCon and she was the absolute sweetest.
06:48And she was like, I'm so sorry.
06:49I didn't know.
06:50And I was like, trust me, I don't, I don't think you did that on purpose.
06:54And I'm so sorry.
06:55It blew up like this.
06:56It was not my intention.
06:57How are you and Gia doing today?
06:59Um, today we're fine.
07:01I thought we were like in such a good place after filming season two and visiting her family
07:08in the Bahamas and like all this stuff.
07:11Um, so yeah, to hear how she spoke about me recently was honestly very hurtful, but she's
07:17apologized.
07:18And so I'm not going to hold a grudge.
07:20I'm just, I don't talk about my friends like that.
07:22So it was just something that really took me by surprise.
07:24We've only seen the first two episodes so far.
07:27There's so much more to come.
07:28What are you most excited for people to see?
07:30I'm honestly just, there's so much that happens this season.
07:33We go to BravoCon, we go skiing.
07:36Like we, and I feel like when we go on trips, like you bond a lot with the people.
07:40So I feel like there's just so many silly moments coming up that I'm just really excited to watch
07:45back and like see it from other people's perspectives.
07:48There's so much tea that happens.
07:51A lot of romantic tea ends up happening this season.
07:54So I'm like really just, I'm curious and I can't wait to watch it.
07:58Um, and so I'm so excited for everyone to see.
08:00Bye.
