Brianna LaPaglia appears to have taken a page from her ex-boyfriend's book by using music to express her post-breakup emotions.
The media personality recently announced what might be a diss track about Zach Bryan on Instagram. She dropped the song's cover art on her "BFFs" podcast page, sparking mixed reactions from fans.
One of the comments piqued Brianna LaPaglia's interest, and she revealed the status of her online relationship with Zach Bryan. From her recent and past claims, it seems the pair did not split on amicable terms.
Brianna LaPaglia Claims Zach Bryan Is Not Up For Social Media Contact
The post about LaPaglia's possible diss track featured a black-and-white interrogation scene. Two officers faced a suspect seated at a table with his back turned to the camera.
"Smallest Man," the overlay text in all caps read while the post's caption announced the song would drop "Tonight at Midnight ET." One commenter noticed the lack of Bryan's tag when the track was about him.
"Y'all aren't even brave enough to tag him in the picture," the fan claimed. However, LaPaglia defended her and her co-hosts' actions, stressing: "We r all blocked."
It seemed Bryan not only stopped his ex-girlfriend from contacting him on Instagram but also the "BFFs" podcast account and presumably her friends.

The comments were filled with mixed reactions, with some supporting LaPaglia while others criticized her actions. "Where was this energy when she did an overlap of all her previous ex-bfs?" someone wondered.
"A man who cheated on and divorced his wife who was actively serving in the military, and a woman who has said herself that she's cheated in most of her serious relationships in her life had a relationship that didn't work out?" A disapproving fan penned.
A third found LaPaglia's cover art to be a false description of Bryan, writing: "Too much hair on the suspect, not accurate enough." Another slammed the media personality, claiming, "Pretty tacky on Bri's part, but let's see."
"Bri getting upset that she can't heal in private but then monetizing it all is actually INSANE!" a fan argued. Their words referenced LaPaglia's earlier statements about being blindsided by the breakup.

Bryan announced his separation from LaPaglia in an Instagram post, revealing his personal struggles and challenging year had influenced their split. The Blast reported that his poignant tone changed days later when he teased a possible breakup song.
The country music singer shared a video of himself playing a melodic tune on the piano and captioned the post: "Recall when we went to Rockaway Beach, summer heat in eastern Queens, and a subway ride."
However, his reaction to the breakup significantly differed from LaPaglia, who slammed him for publicizing their breakup. She lamented about his actions in a YouTube video, breaking down in tears while claiming she was blindsided.

"Do you see the swelling on my face? I've been crying for like five days straight," LaPaglia continued. She wondered what went wrong in her relationship with Bryan, noting she loved him unconditionally through his good and bad days.
"I don't want to talk details right now. I don't want to talk about it yet. I will, obviously. But right now, I wanted to heal privately,"she said, adding:
"I didn't even know he was going to post that. We broke up yesterday. I wasn't ready to do anything publicly. I wanted to just handle this as a human first, and now it's not that."
