Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia Compares Ex Zach Bryan to a “Doom Cloud”

Brianna claims emotional abuse

Brianna has claimed her relationship with Zach was emotionally abusive.

“The last year of my life was the hardest year of my life,” she said told Dave and Josh on the November 7 episode of BFFs. “Dealing with this dude’s abuse — I’m still scared right now.”

The 25-year-old said her brain had been “rewired” from the fear of driving her ex crazy.

“He made me believe everything was my fault,” Brianna continued. “He isolated me from my whole life. He didn’t let me be who I wanted to be. He made me hate everything I loved about myself.”

Zach had “love bombed her,” she said, and she ignored multiple red flags.

After four relatively smooth months, she said, he broke her down, leaving her feeling “like he was all I had left, and he just kept hitting me and beating me down.”

Brianna also claimed during the episode that Zach’s team offered her $12 million to sign an NDA and keep quiet about their relationship.

While she didn’t want money to remind her of her ex, Brianna said she didn’t refuse just to be free to air her secrets either.

Rather, Brianna said, “I’m not signing away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone who hurt me.”

E! News reached out to Zach for comment, but has not heard back.

After they recorded, Dave wrote on X“I know people have a lot of strong opinions about Bri, but after tonight’s episode, there can’t be anyone who disrespects the st out of her.”
