Why Riley Burruss Was Missing From The Season 2 Premiere"},"content":{"rendered":"

Next Gen NYC<\/a> is back for Season 2, but one fan-favorite cast member was noticeably absent from the premiere episode.<\/p>\n

Riley Burruss<\/a>, daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta<\/a> legend Kandi Burruss, joined the hit reality show with fellow Bravo nepo babies Gia Giudice<\/a>, Brooks Marks<\/a>, and Ariana Biermann<\/a>. Fans got to watch as Burruss and Biermann, daughter of RHOA alum Kim Zolciak, reignited a closer-than-ever friendship as they navigated a dramatic friend group and life in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hadn\u2019t seen Ariana in over 10 years, so that was a relationship that really evolved the most,\u201d Riley told DECIDER when she stopped by our studio last year.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the first episode of Next Gen NYC\u2018s sophomore season didn\u2019t feature any scenes between the two BFFs. In fact, Riley wasn\u2019t in any of the episode. Why? Well, keep reading for everything we know! <\/p>\n

Why wasn\u2019t Riley Burruss in the Next Gen NYC Season 2 premiere?<\/p>\n

Riley Burruss is living her best life, even if that means missing the first few days of filming for Next Gen NYC Season 2. At the top of the episode, Emira D\u2019Spain reveals that Burruss spent her summer on the \u201cAsia leg of the Riley World Tour.\u201d But, according to Ariana Biermann, Burruss missed the first cast event because she was in Atlanta, GA, where her family, including Real Housewives of Atlanta mom Kandi Burruss, live.<\/p>\n

Is Riley Burruss still on Next Gen NYC?<\/p>\n

Yes! Riley Burruss will be in Next Gen NYC Season 2. Hopefully, we\u2019ll see her reunite with the cast in next week\u2019s episode! <\/p>\n
