Mar. 15, 2025

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPagliasays ex-boyfriendZach Bryanwas not a fan of her singing country hits from other artists.

The podcast host, 25, opened up about her relationship with singer-songwriter Bryan in an explosive episode of herBFFspodcaston Thursday, Nov. 7 — and revealed that he allegedly once got angry with her for singingMorgan Wallen’s hit “Last Night.”

“I do have something that I think I just need to get off my chest One morning, like, we were out the night before, and one morning I woke up, or I was like, scrolling TikTok, and ‘Last night we let the liquor talk…’ was stuck in my head,” LaPaglia said on the podcast, singing lyrics from the song.

The social media star said she was walking up the stairs in the couple’s New York City apartment singing Wallen’s No. 1 hit on the way to make breakfast, and Bryan, 28, “freaked the f— out.”

“Like, freaked the f— out,” she repeated. “Like, he could not believe, ‘You’re singing another man’s song under my roof in this house that I own.’ It was a fight for I think a week, [because] I came up the stairs saying, ‘Last night we let the liquor talk.’”

LaPaglia’sBFFsco-host Dave Portnoy then asked if Bryan’s issue was specifically with Wallen, 31, though LaPaglia said she didn’t know.

She then revealed she was “not really allowed to listen toNoah Kahan,” as she listened “to him too much.”

The allegations came amid a bombshell podcast episode in which LaPaglia claimed that Bryan had beenemotionally abusive throughout their relationship, which ended in October after more than a year.

The “Something in the Orange” singerannounced the split last monthin a statement shared to Instagram, saying he’d “had an incredibly hard year personally” and “thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways.”

“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,” she said. “I’m still scared right now because I’m scared of him. My brain’s rewired and I’m scared to make him mad and last week, I didn’t want to talk about it ‘cause I was scared.”

She explained that she chose not to sign the NDA as she wanted to be open about her alleged experiences “for anyone else that’s been emotionally abused and for people right now being emotionally abused.”

Bryan — for whom a rep has not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment — has not commented publicly on LaPaglia’s allegations. The same night the podcast was released, heput out two new songs, “High Road” and “This World’s A Giant.”

Then on Friday, Nov. 8, he expressed his excitement for the 17 dates left on his Quittin’ Time tour.

“Never been more excited to finish a run up. Been a long one and I’m so thankful for everyone that came out to a show this year,” he wrote in anInstagrampost. “See you guys on the road and we love you.”
