Why Brianna LaPaglia Claims Zach Bryan ‘Ruined’ Her Golden Globes Experience

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia opens up about how her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan allegedly “ruined” her 2024 Golden Globes experience.

In the latest episode of the BFFs podcast – in which LaPaglia claims that she was emotionally abused by the country star and asked to sign an NDA (which she allegedly refused) – the podcast host also claimed that he tried to influence her clothing and her Take social media presence.

Reps for LaPaglia and Bryan did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

“That was w—– crazy. That was the first time he really tried to control what I wore and what I posted,” she recalled. “So I went to the Golden Globes and posted like a carousel of pictures, and he didn’t like my dress.”

“He said he didn’t want to date someone who presented himself like that. And he unfollowed me, he unfollowed everyone, and I… when I flew home – I flew home after the Golden Globes. He ruined my night,” LaPaglia continued.

The influencer continued: “Every good thing, every good thing I did for myself, he made sure it was ruined for me. He ruined my birthday, he ruined my tour, he ruined the Golden Globes. Everything Brianna did for Brianna, he had to ruin it.”

She claims that everything was “going so great” on the night of the event until she sent him pictures. “He’s happy at first, then suddenly he’s like, ‘I can’t believe you’re wearing that… blah blah blah.’ ”

“It ruins the night. I cry to Grace.” [O’Malley] All f—— night and he stops following me because of the dress. He tells me all the Instagram pictures I have to delete and I say, “Okay, yeah, I guess.” “He makes me think I have to change my image to keep up with his or something,” continued LaPaglia continued, expressing that she felt like she was “head-spinned.”

After LaPaglia said she was portrayed as someone who had “my nipples and my coochie out,” the icing on the cake was that he posted a picture of her at the Golden Globes on his Instagram Stories.

“He reposted the picture of me on his story and said, ‘You’re so beautiful.’ While I was freaking out behind the scenes and unfollowing all of us and myself, it was just a tug of war with my feelings in my head,” she said.
