Georgia McCann Says Ex and Castmate Are Using Her Nightclub Idea on Next Gen NYC

Her on-camera claims raise questions about how informal reality‑TV partnerships translate into legal ownership and money when business plans break down.

Overview

  • Georgia McCann says she and venture capitalist Omar Zaki were both romantic partners and business collaborators who planned a bowling‑alley themed venue called Club Club.
  • McCann says the relationship ended abruptly while the two were abroad and that Omar cut her off financially and had his assistant pack her belongings, which she says led to a period of severe depression and inpatient treatment.
  • On Season 2 of Next Gen NYC, McCann accuses Omar and castmate Charlie Zakkour of taking her creative concept, while Zakkour denies the claim and says any project he and Omar pursue has been reworked to differ from her idea.
  • Omar’s return to the show has kept the dispute public, but there are no public legal filings or reported settlements that confirm ownership or equity claims tied to the alleged partnership.
  • Reporting is based on Bravo episodes, aftershows and McCann’s social posts, so the matter’s resolution will hinge on whether formal partnership documents or legal action appear next and how producers’ timelines shaped what viewers are now seeing.
