Brianna LaPaglia Says Zach Bryan Was Emotionally Abusive, ‘I’m Still Scared Right Now’
6:10 PM PT — In the new “BFF’s” podcast episode, Brianna LaPaglia dove into some of the emotional abuse she endured while dating Zach Bryan.
Starting off with a huge admission … Brianna was allegedly offered $12 million by Zach’s team to sign an NDA … which she clearly rejected.
Brianna talked about the infamous Raya profile screenshot that went viral on social media … revealing that she got a bunch of DMs telling her Zach was on the dating app.
BL says he allegedly merely responded that he “reactivated” the app when confronted … which is why she claims he posted about the breakup … ’cause he got caught.
What’s more … Brianna says there was a lot of isolation and manipulation in their relationship, giving the example of Zach allegedly not liking her Golden Globes dress and not wanting to date someone who presented themselves like that … so he unfollowed her — but he later reposted the dress snap, claiming she was beautiful … among many other examples throughout the podcast.
Brianna claims there was never a breakup convo, and their relationship ended with Zach telling her he ‘couldn’t do this,’ only to head back to Oklahoma by himself.
An emotional whirlwind indeed.
Brianna LaPaglia’s split from Zach Bryan is somehow getting even nastier … she’s just unleashed claims that the country star was emotionally abusive throughout their relationship.
The Barstool Sports personality opened up on her messy breakup with Bryan on Thursday’s episode of “BFFs” … making some heavy claims against the “Something In The Orange” singer while behind the mic.

Bri told her cohosts, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, that Bryan made her life hell since they first got together in 2023 … while claiming even now — several days after they’ve decided to go their separate ways — she’s still terrified of him.
“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life,” she said, “like, dealing with the abuse from this dude. Like, I’m still scared right now, ’cause I’m, like, scared of him still. My brain’s re-wired. I’m scared to make him mad.”
LaPaglia went on to insinuate that Bryan recently offered her cash … in an attempt to buy her silence.
“You made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you, sign their experiences away — sign what they went through away,” she said. “You get to go skip off and sing your little f***ing songs on stage like you’re a good dude.”
“I don’t want in two years,” she continued, “to buy a f***ing house and think, ‘Oh, this is the money from the dude that literally f***ing destroyed me and broke me for a year.’ F*** that. F*** you. I don’t want your money.”
LaPaglia was adamant she didn’t turn down Bryan’s apparent NDA offer in order to expose him on her social media platforms … she stated she simply didn’t want to sign “away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone that hurt me.”
“I’m a lot stronger than a weak man,” she said. “F*** you. F*** your money. F*** you.”
So far, no public comment from Bryan on the accusations.
Worth noting, earlier Thursday, a moving truck was spotted outside Bryan’s Massachusetts waterfront mansion — it appears LaPaglia is moving out. Bryan bought the property, situated an hour south of Boston, in July to be closer to Brianna, who splits her time between NYC and MA, where she’s originally from.
