Zach Bryan is done staying quiet about his breakup from Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia and has plenty to say to critics.

Following singer-songwriter Zach Bryan‘s breakup with ex-girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia (aka Brianna Chickenfry), it seems some online users have been intent on trying to discover whether the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper has a new girlfriend.

"I'm not asking for sympathy but going for - my -friends- is so low and so messed up?" the musician wrote on his Instagram Story

Zach Bryan has faced backlash since his split with Brianna LaPaglia in late 2024, with accusations of infidelity and online speculation fueling hate and criticism toward him and his acquaintances.

Zach Bryan called out social media trolls for “attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you’re assuming I have a girlfriend,” he wrote in a lengthy statement on his Instagram story.

LaPaglia started dating “Something in the Orange” singer Bryan in 2023. After he announced their allegedly amicable split in October 2024, LaPaglia said on her “BFFs” podcast that she was blindsided by his decision and also claimed that Bryan disapproved of her Golden Globes outfit. (LaPaglia wore a sheer gown that featured a dramatic leg slit.)

Podcaster Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia attended the Golden Globes on Sunday, where she shared what she's looking for in her next relationship following her split from country singer Zach Bryan.

"Go give your attention and time to the literal city burning down and stop being so sad and fickle and childish through screens," he wrote, referring to the LA fires.
