Zach Bryan Shares Private Texts
On Monday, Zach Bryan reignited tensions with his ex Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia by posting screenshots of old texts to Instagram Stories. One message showed LaPaglia expressing she “still had love” for him after their breakup, wishing him the best and reminding him she was “always in [his] corner.”
Bryan also shared a second screenshot of LaPaglia allegedly discussing her “options” after the split — including the possibility of accepting $12 million or a home in exchange for staying silent under an NDA.
Brianna Claps Back
LaPaglia wasted no time responding on her own Instagram Story. She mocked Bryan for being “blackout at 7 am again,” joked about living “rent-free” in his head, and defended herself by sharing her own receipts.
Posting a screenshot of a message from Bryan’s manager, she insisted the NDA “options” were presented to her by his team, not something she fabricated.
“I was offered 12.9 million dollars to stay quiet… I chose none because I have morals,” she wrote.
“I Want Nothing To Do With This Man”
The Barstool Sports personality emphasized she hasn’t lied and is only responding because Bryan “attacked” her publicly. “I want nothing to do with this man,” she added.
She also addressed pressure from followers urging her to release recordings of their relationship. LaPaglia explained she won’t “relive [her] trauma for the sake of online entertainment,” though she hinted she may share more on her BFFs podcast after Bryan recently commented that she wasn’t “sweet.”
A Tumultuous Relationship
Bryan, 29, and LaPaglia, 26, dated from 2023 to 2024. Following their breakup, LaPaglia accused him of emotional abuse, saying her “brain had been rewired” to fear upsetting him. She also claimed Bryan’s exes Rose Madden and Deb Peifer signed NDAs in exchange for large sums.
So far, Bryan hasn’t issued a direct statement about the abuse allegations, though he previously posted a cryptic quote about how “everybody in the world wants an explanation.”
