The influencer ex-girlfriend of country singer Zach Bryan has responded to criticism that she’s moved on “fast” after their breakup.
Brianna LaPaglia posted a clip of her hanging out in New York City on TikTok and cuddling up to a mystery man a month after she went through their very public split.
When someone commented, “that was fast”, the podcaster, 25, fought back.
“Well! I was cheated on my whole relationship. So yeah,” she wrote.
LaPaglia has more than a million Instagram followers and hosts two successful podcasts on the Barstool Network, which is run by David Portnoy.
However, her internet fame has slowly become mainstream because of her 12 month relationship with Bryan.
When their breakup was announced in October, LaPaglia, in true influencer fashion, posted a video of herself crying while she talked about their relationship’s demise.
She explained she was completely “blindsided” by the brutal split and filmed herself looking heartbroken in her bathroom.
“See how swollen my face is? I’ve been crying for five days straight,” she said.
On the other hand, Bryan posted a statement on Instagram saying he still “loves” the influencer but has had an “incredibly hard year” and then asked for privacy.
There were then unverified screenshots of him circulating on the celebrity dating app Raya.
LaPaglia than took a week off social media, which is a big deal for an influencer, and has since been very candid about what led to their break-up.
She has now claimed that Bryan offered her millions to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
On her podcast BFFs, she claimed that Bryan’s team “offered a lot of money” to keep her from discussing the details of their relationship or break-up.
She said she turned down the alleged offer and has now shared a story claiming he ruined her Golden Globes night in January.
LaPaglia wore a skin-tight, sheer, glittery silver dress for the night but said Bryan’s behaviour was “crazy”.
“He didn’t like my dress,” she said.
“He said he didn’t want to date someone that presents themselves that way.”
LaPaglia claimed that Bryan, her boyfriend at the time, unfollowed her on social media because of the dress.
She said his response to the dress confused her because he was “happy” at the beginning of the night.
“All of a sudden it turns into ‘I can’t believe you’re wearing that’,” she said.
The podcast host claimed he told her to delete her Instagram photos she posted.
“He makes me believe I have to change my image to keep up with his or something,” she said.
She said he made her feel like she had her “nipple and coochie out” and his behaviour turned what should have been a great experience into a stressful one.
“He ruined my night,” she said.
“Everything good, anything good I did for me, he made sure to ruin it for me. He ruined my birthday, he ruined my tour, he ruined the Golden Globes. Anything Brianna did for Brianna, he had to ruin it.”
