Zach Bryan’s Ex Brianna LaPaglia Slams New Romance Claims: 'Am I Not Allowed To Live A Little'

Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia is pushing back against rumors surrounding her love life. 

Her response comes after her breakup with Zach Bryan, during which LaPaglia alleges that his team tried to silence her with an NDA deal. The controversy began when Bryan announced their split, painting it as amicable. 

However, Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia has since come forward with her version of events, exposing the emotional strain the relationship caused. 

LaPaglia is not here for the rumors. She made that clear after speculation about her starting a new relationship by taking to TikTok to set the record straight.

In a typical no-nonsense fashion, she addressed the claims, joking, "You guys think I'm ever going to have a boyfriend again? I'm in intensive therapy."

The 25-year-old went on to clarify that her outing with an "Aussie boy" was nothing serious, confirming it was just a brief fling with someone who was soon heading back to Australia. 

"Am I not allowed to live a little? Am I not allowed to smooch a little?" she asked, shutting down the speculations. LaPaglia's response made it clear she is not jumping into anything long-term, reminding fans that sometimes, a little fun is just what the doctor ordered.

LaPaglia is living life on her own terms, and her fans are here for it. In the comment section of her TikTok video, fans were quick to show their support, with one commenting, "You deserve to be happy in whatever makes you happy!!! Live your life, Queen!!! We ride for you always."

Others chimed in with messages of encouragement, like, "This is the only proper response to this," and "Thanks for clearing things up sis! Lol." 

"You can do WHATEVER you want babe!" another encouraged alongside a heart emoji. LaPaglia's supporters showed how much they are embracing her healing era. "LET THEM THINK WHAT THEY WANT TO THINK," one netizen wrote, with a sixth adding, "We support you either way."

This fan also pointed out how "the internet is so NOSY!!" with another adding, "You do you girl!!! Let the healing era begin!"

LaPaglia has been shedding light on her breakup with the country music star and it is clear things were not as picture-perfect as they seemed. After their split, one of the most shocking revelations came when she claimed Bryan's team offered her a hefty NDA deal.

LaPaglia explained in a solo segment of her show that she was approached with a large sum of money, paid over three years, in exchange for her silence about her experiences with Bryan. 

The deal would have kept her under constant surveillance, according to LaPaglia. The Blast reported that LaPaglia firmly rejected the offer, stating, "I started to forget that I was someone, I was established, I was successful, before [Bryan]."

She made it clear that she plans to remain successful, with or without her ex, asserting, "I'm going to be someone, I'm going to be established [and] I'm going to be successful after him [too]."

During the episode, she made it clear she had no interest in taking money from Bryan, stating, "I'm alright where I'm at, and I don't want blood money."

LaPaglia emphasized that no amount of cash could make up for the hurt, adding, "I don't think you can pay people off that you hurt [and expect] for them to protect you."

LaPaglia's co-host, Dave Portnoy, revealed Bryan's team offered her a staggering $12 million to keep quiet about their breakup and relationship. 

While she wrestled with the life-changing sum, she ultimately rejected the offer, calling it "beneath" her and "f—ed up." Portnoy shared that LaPaglia went back and forth over the decision, with the money proving tempting at times. But in the end, she stood firm. 

LaPaglia may have reportedly rejected the multimillion-dollar NDA offer, but there is one thing she is definitely not getting rid of: her matching tattoo with the country star.

In a spirited TikTok video, LaPaglia addressed her followers' concerns about removing their own tattoos following her split with Bryan. 

The star confidently declared, "That was my thing, that's my tattoo. Now we're matching," referencing the "How lucky are we" ink she shares with her ex. She reassured fans, saying, "Okay don't get it removed, it's okay. This is mine 'How lucky are we,' that's me. This is mine!"

Although Brianna LaPaglia's split from Zach Bryan continues to make headlines, the podcaster is taking control of her narrative and proving her past relationship does not define her.
