Brianna LaPaglia, widely known as “Brianna Chickenfry,” recently opened up on the BFFs Podcast about her painful breakup with country star Zach Bryan, accusing him of emotional abuse.
According to LaPaglia, the singer required all his ex-girlfriends to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to prevent them from speaking out.
For LaPaglia, who cohosts the podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, discussing her experience is a way to reach out to others facing similar situations.
LaPaglia shared that this past year has been her hardest. “I’m scared,” she admitted, revealing that even discussing the topic was intimidating.
She also described Bryan’s alleged NDA practices as a means to silence his ex-girlfriends, saying, “You made the women before me believe they had no choice but to stay quiet.”
In her statement, LaPaglia explained her choice to speak up, claiming it wasn’t about drama or rejecting money.
“I’m not signing away my experiences. I’m speaking for those without support,” she said, highlighting the courage it takes to face alleged emotional abuse.
Meanwhile, Portnoy and Richards took things up a notch with their own response to the situation. The duo released a diss track, “Smallest Man,” aimed directly at Bryan.
The track digs into Bryan’s public breakup post, his past relationships, and even his arrest last year, delivering an unfiltered response to the allegations.
Although the song was taken down due to a copyright claim, Portnoy vowed to keep going, saying, “I will write 10,000 diss tracks if I have to.”
Bryan and LaPaglia’s relationship has stirred intense discussion across social media, with rumors of infidelity circulating since last year.
The BFFs Podcast co-hosts’ diss track mentions these rumors along with Bryan’s dating history, alleged breakups, and high-profile Instagram posts.
Both Portnoy and Richards leaned heavily into their lyrics, poking fun at Bryan’s music, past relationships, and recent controversies.
