The drama between country star Zach Bryan and his ex, Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia, just escalated as both parties aired their grievances online. What started as a breakup in 2024 has now transformed into a public showdown through social media.

On Monday, Bryan, 29, took to Instagram Stories and shared a screenshot of a heartfelt message from LaPaglia, 26. In the text, she expressed lingering feelings for him, wishing him well while extending an olive branch by offering her family support. She poignantly wrote, "I hope one day you can see past all the bulls**t of your life and know I was always in your corner."

But the plot thickened when Bryan revealed another message from LaPaglia to a third party discussing her "options" post-breakup. The striking detail? She mentioned a staggering $12 million offer to remain silent about their relationship or the choice to engage in a messy public battle.

LaPaglia didn’t stay quiet for long. In a cheeky selfie on her own Story, she quipped about Bryan's behavior, calling him out for seemingly being "blackout at 7 am" and hinted at him living "rent-free in [her] head." She also shared that Bryan's manager had reached out to her with NDA options, emphasizing, "I have not told ONE lie ever," and proudly declared her choice to walk away from the money, stating, "I chose none because I have morals. End of story."

Frustrated by the ongoing drama, LaPaglia made it clear, "I want nothing to do with this man," while pushing back against fans urging her to expose recordings of Bryan's alleged abusive behavior. "I don’t need to relive my trauma for the sake of online entertainment," she stated.

However, the tension took another turn when she hinted at possibly sharing videos and stories on her podcast, "BFFs," responding to Bryan’s TikTok comment calling her "not sweet." This raised eyebrows and continued the speculation about the truth behind their tumultuous relationship.

While Bryan's representatives have been silent regarding LaPaglia's accusations, the aftermath of their relationship remains fraught with claims of emotional abuse and NDAs signed by previous partners, adding layers to this unfolding saga. With fans glued to their screens, the question remains: What will happen next in this very public breakup?
