She remembers everything! Zach Bryan’s ex-girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia has been telling all on Barstool’s “BFFs Podcast” after the country star’s team offered her a staggering $12 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement. “You made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you,” she alleged during the November 7 episode. “[But] I was someone before you.”
“I’m gonna be someone, I’m gonna be established, I’m gonna be successful after him,” Brianna, 25, continued. “Maybe I’m not gonna be selling out stadiums and f–king making hundreds of millions of dollars—I’m alright where I’m at, and I don’t want blood money.”
She added that she doesn’t believe it’s right to “pay people off that you hurt to protect you.” Briana continued, “I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think that’s beneath me. I think that’s f–ked up.”
Brianna went on to accuse the “Pink Skies” singer, 28, of isolating her and being emotionally abusive and manipulative over the course of their relationship.
Other shocking claims she made against Zach included that she wasn’t “really allowed” to listen to Noah Kahan and that Zach “freaked the f–k out” when she sang a Morgan Wallen song. “I’m not signing away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone that hurt me,” said Brianna. “I’m a lot stronger than a weak man.”
Brianna also claimed that she and Zach got into a major fight over the dress she wore to the 2024 Golden Globes. “That was f—king crazy. That was the first time he had really tried to control what I wore and what I posted,” she recalled during her podcast. “So I went to the Golden Globes and I posted like a carousel of pictures, and he didn’t like my dress.”
According to Brianna, Zach said “he didn’t want to date someone that presents themselves that way” and “he unfollowed” her on social media. “He ruined my night,” she said of the argument.
While Zach has not publicly responded to Brianna’s allegations, he was the one to confirm their split after more than one year of dating in October.
“Brianna and me have broken up with each other and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” he wrote via his Instagram Stories at the time. “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.”
He said that he had experienced some “pretty severe struggles” over the past year, explaining that he “thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways.” Zach’s statement continued, “I am not perfect and never will be.”
Less than one hour after Zach broke the news, Brianna took to social media to issue her own statement on the breakup and claimed that she was “blindsided” by his public update.
“I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up,” she said in a video. “I had no idea that post was going up. He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts being like, ‘Are you OK?’”
