Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia Responds to Zach Bryan’s Public Drama

Brianna LaPaglia, known as “Chickenfry,” remains unshaken amid recent public disputes with ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan. During a recent podcast, she dismissed Bryan’s attempts to provoke her, calling him “f–king stupid” after he shared screenshots of their past conversations.

LaPaglia explained that Bryan’s actions validated her previous claims, especially concerning her fears about personal photos being leaked. She questioned Bryan’s motives behind posting her texts, emphasizing that her responses reflected genuine emotion and concern under his control, describing the breakup as “really sad.”

She also revealed that Bryan had posted and then deleted messages on Instagram Stories, including a kind message from her following his alleged departure to avoid rehab. LaPaglia shared her mixed feelings about the incident, describing her reaction as a “stupid” mistake she regrets, and downplayed her initial reveal of their private conversations, asserting her intention was not to extort but to clarify her side.

The messages Bryan uploaded included a head-shaking post-breakup text from LaPaglia, which she says demonstrates her emotional vulnerability. She also addressed accusations of threatening to release footage of alleged emotional abuse, clarifying that she reacted in anger to Bryan’s recent TikTok comments calling her “not sweet,” which she believes was meant to antagonize her.

LaPaglia expressed her frustration with Bryan’s social media tactics, including him re-following her aunt while her family was on vacation. She finds the ongoing drama amusing and claims she is “so over” the situation, highlighting her efforts to move forward positively.

The singer and LaPaglia were together for a year before splitting in 2024. Despite the turmoil, she appreciated support from Bryan’s ex-wife, Rose Madden, whom she described as a vital confidante. Bryan has since moved on, currently dating Hannah Duncan.
