After more than a year of dating, country singer Zach Bryan and Barstool Sports personality Brianna LaPaglia (known as Brianna Chickenfry) have broken up.
On Oct 22, the “Something in the Orange” singer took to his Instagram Stories to reveal that the couple have parted ways. “Brianna and me have broken up with each other and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” he wrote. “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her. I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and I never will be.”
Despite what seemed like an amicable statement, LaPaglia went on to reveal on her Stories that she was “blindsided” by his announcement, and explained in a follow-up YouTube video, “I wasn’t ready to do anything publicly and now I’m just getting a bajillion freakin’ texts and s—. I just wanted to handle this as a human first and now it’s not that. I’m just asking if you could please respect my privacy right now and when I’m ready to talk about everything that happened, I will.”
She did so on the BFFs Podcast, which LaPaglia co-hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. During the episode, she made a series of bombshell claims, including accusing Bryan of “emotional abuse” during their relationship and claiming she was offered $12 million and a New York apartment to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) about their relationship, which she said she refused.
