Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia just dropped another bombshell about her relationship with country star Zach Bryan—and it involves an engagement ring that never made it to her finger.

The 25-year-old “BFFs” Barstool Sports podcast host took to TikTok on Friday to share some new details about her ex. In a since-deleted comment, LaPaglia revealed that Bryan had actually picked out an engagement ring during their relationship. The revelation came after LaPaglia mentioned turning down a DM from her “biggest celeb crush” a few months ago, only to later discover Bryan had allegedly been “cheating the whole time” they were dating.
“The week he showed me my engagement ring he was DMing girls hahahahha,” LaPaglia wrote, according to the Daily Mail. When a shocked follower asked about the timing of the alleged infidelity, commenting, “THE WHOLE TIME????!!??” LaPaglia’s response was equally unsettling: she “finds out more and more each day,” she commented back.
This revelation comes on the heels of LaPaglia’s recent candid discussions about her relationship with the “Something in the Orange” singer. During a November 7, 2024 episode of “BFFs,” she opened up about what she described as emotional abuse from the singer, including an alleged $12 million offer to keep quiet about their relationship.
The podcast host also detailed a disturbing incident during her birthday celebration, where Bryan allegedly had an explosive outburst. “He stood up at the fire and just started screaming at my friends, ‘You’re not going to be anything, you’re a f—ing loser,’ like just the most horrible s—t. ‘You’re never going to make it,’ like, ‘you live off other people,’” she recalled. She added that he broke glass during this tantrum.
Bryan has yet to address these allegations, a silence that LaPaglia finds pretty telling. “It’s a little frustrating. I knew that when I came forward with this, people weren’t going to believe me,” she said on a recent “BFFs” podcast episode, while noting she was “taking the high road” by not completely exposing him.
“I obviously think he’s not responding because if he is to respond, he has to deny it… and then I post all the videos and the recordings,” LaPaglia stated, suggesting she has evidence to back up her claims.
The relationship, which began in July 2023, ended in October 2024 when Bryan announced their split on Instagram, admitting, “I failed people that love me and mostly myself.” So far, he and his representatives haven’t responded to requests for comment about any of LaPaglia’s claims.
