Brianna Chickenfry Alleges Zach Bryan Cheated: Details from Revealing Podcast Interview.
Internet personality Brianna Chickenfry, whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia, has shed light on the tumultuous end of her relationship with country singer Zach Bryan. During a candid appearance on Alix Earle’s Hot Mess podcast on December 12, 2024, LaPaglia claimed that she received direct messages from several women alleging infidelity by Bryan.
This revelation adds a new layer to their already high-profile breakup, which Bryan publicly announced via Instagram on October 22, 2024. According to LaPaglia, she was emotionally “checked out” of the relationship even before the announcement, but the way events unfolded left her blindsided.
The Fallout: Raya and Receipts
LaPaglia revealed that Bryan’s decision to publicly announce their breakup stemmed from his alleged activity on the exclusive dating app Raya. “He got caught on Raya, so he had to post an Instagram Story,” she alleged during the podcast. She went on to disclose that after the announcement, she received messages from numerous women claiming to have been involved with Bryan.
“Then I have receipts and receipts of people telling me,” she stated, emphasizing that she had substantial evidence of his behavior.
Reflecting on her relationship, LaPaglia described it as “toxic and abusive.” She shared that she had documented her experiences through daily video recordings for six months as a way to process her emotions and create a record of her feelings.
“I knew people weren’t going to believe me, so I made a trail,” she explained. These recordings captured moments of emotional turmoil and documented what she described as patterns of toxic behavior and emotional abuse.
LaPaglia admitted it was challenging to leave the relationship, citing how Bryan’s apologies would keep her from walking away. “When you’re in such a toxic, abusive relationship, you don’t even know who you are,” she confessed.
A Tumultuous Timeline
LaPaglia first opened up about the relationship’s darker aspects on the BFFs podcast on November 7, 2024, describing it as the “darkest couple of months” of her life. She shared how Bryan initially admired her independence but later began criticizing her career and choices, leading her to feel isolated from her family and work.
Despite the public nature of their breakup, LaPaglia was shocked by Bryan’s Instagram announcement, which came just a day after they had a private discussion about parting ways. “I’ve been crying for like five days straight,” she shared in a subsequent YouTube video. “How can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be discarded of in a few days?”
Since the split, LaPaglia has resumed work on her PlanBri Uncut podcast, while Bryan continues his career as a country music star. Neither has confirmed further communication with each other since the breakup.
Their relationship, which began in July 2023 after meeting at the Academy of Country Music Awards, continues to attract public attention due to LaPaglia’s candid reflections and the high-profile nature of their split. For now, both seem to be focusing on rebuilding their lives separately.
