Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia have officially ended their friendship — and romantic relationship.

The breakup has sparked a lot of discussions online after LaPaglia shared her feelings in a recent episode of her podcast.

“All I wanted was a nicer farewell,” she shared, mentioning that the way they ended was abrupt and left her in tears.

LaPaglia also revealed that after their split, Bryan offered her a $12 million non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which she declined, stating she wanted to speak out for others who may be experiencing emotional abuse. She emphasized her support for anyone who lacks the backing she had during her situation.

YSL News has contacted Bryan’s representative for a statement.

During the podcast, which featured co-hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, LaPaglia also discussed their experiences at the Golden Globes and how she was taken aback by the breakup announcement.

“This past year has been the most challenging for me because of the emotional distress I faced from him,” she explained, expressing that she still feels fear regarding him.

Here’s a summary of what unfolded in this situation involving these two rising stars.

The Golden Globes Disagreement: LaPaglia’s Account

During the podcast episode, LaPaglia expressed that Bryan “didn’t like” her outfit at the latest Golden Globes, which led to an intense argument.

“He wasn’t a fan of my dress,” she said, alleging that Bryan commented he didn’t want to date someone who presents herself in that manner.

“He ruined my night,” LaPaglia stated. “He made sure to spoil any positive moment I had—my birthday, my tour, and even the Golden Globes. He affected everything I tried to enjoy.”

She further remarked, “He made me feel as if I needed to change how I present myself to align with his expectations,” calling their dynamic “complicated.”

Aftermath of the Split and Dating Rumors

On Thursday’s podcast, LaPaglia mentioned that they had agreed to publicly discuss their breakup on her timeline. However, she later discovered that Bryan had joined the dating app Raya, which is popular among celebrities and influencers.

“I don’t think you need Raya, I think you need therapy,” LaPaglia remarked.

Back in May, the couple was involved in a serious car accident, which LaPaglia described on TikTok as a “traumatizing” experience.

“The car flipped multiple times, and we were lucky to have our seatbelts on,” she recalled, describing a situation filled with blood and the fear of loss.

Last month, Bryan announced their breakup on Instagram.

“I care for her deeply. She’s been there for me unconditionally, and I’ll always be grateful for that,” he wrote. “I’ve faced personal struggles this past year, and I thought it best for us to part ways. I want to ask everyone to respect both Brianna’s and my privacy during this time.”

Just after Bryan’s announcement, LaPaglia shared her feelings, expressing that she felt blindsided. “I’m going to take a break from social media to heal privately, but I’ll return when I’m ready to talk,” she posted on her Instagram story.

“How can you give everything and love someone so deeply, only to be discarded a few days later?” she lamented, stating her desire to prioritize her healing without discussing details at the moment.
