I am absolutely not dating<\/a>, no dating,\u201d Brianna, 25, revealed at the Formula 1 Heineken Silver Las Vegas Grand Prix. \u201cI haven\u2019t been single since I was 16. This is the first time I\u2019ve been single and it\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans have rallied behind Brianna after she and Zach, 28 announced their breakup<\/a> on October 22. The influencer told Life & Style<\/em> how \u201cbeautiful\u201d the support she has received is and admitted that her heartbreak was an \u201ceye-opening\u201d situation.<\/p>\n \u201cI didn\u2019t understand or know that so many people go through the same thing that I went through. I was just being honest about it because it was my story and I didn\u2019t realize it was going to help so many people,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s really empowering. I went back and forth for like two weeks. We recorded one episode. I scratched it. I didn\u2019t want to do it. And, I mean, it\u2019s always terrifying to speak up and have a voice especially against someone in power and someone that you know is so famous with so much money and fans, it was terrifying and it\u2019s still terrifying.\u201d<\/p>\n Zach was the first to break the news of their split after fans speculated there was trouble between he and Brianna weeks prior. She broke her silence after the country star shared his statement via Instagram, sharing how \u201cblindsided\u201d she was and took a brief break from social media before sharing her side of the story.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just a chapter in my life. It\u2019s not going to define me. All I want to do right now is just help people heal,\u201d Brianna said, sharing that she and Zach haven\u2019t been in contact after ending their relationship. \u201cA lot of people are going through the same thing so I\u2019m just going to document my healing journey. I feel like a lot of us are all going through a breakup at the same time so I\u2019m just glad I can help people for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n After taking the proper amount of time to heal in private, Brianna got honest with her fans and her past relationship by claiming that she was \u201cemotionally abused\u201d by Zach.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life, dealing with the abuse from this dude,\u201d she said during a November 7 episode of the podcast. \u201cI\u2019m still scared of him, my brain\u2019s rewired. I\u2019m scared to make him mad. Last week I didn\u2019t want to talk about it because I was scared.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Brianna claimed that the \u201cOklahoma Smokeshow\u201d artist offered her $12 million in exchange for signing A nondisclosure agreement to keep the details about their relationship private. She declined the offer.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Brianna\u2019s \u201cBFFs\u201d podcast cohosts Dave Portnoy<\/strong> and Josh Richards<\/strong> have also supported her breakup \u2013 in their own way. The men slammed Zach by releasing a diss track titled \u201cSmallest Man,\u201d a nod to Taylor Swift<\/strong>\u2019s song \u201cThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.\u201d<\/p>\n Zach, for his part, has remained silent ever since his ex aired out their alleged dirty laundry. However, he seemingly responded after releasing his single \u201cHigh Road\u201d on November 8.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
