This American country music artist, Zach Bryan, has been facing a storm of controversy following his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. Amid speculations that Bryan paid LaPaglia to keep their relationship under wraps, a source has come forward to shed light on his unsavory character.
The insider suggests that Bryan is viewed negatively within the music community and that he earned a reputation for being difficult well before the recent breakup with LaPaglia.
The source, a fellow artist who has toured with Bryan, accused him of being unkind to his staff, stating, “He is a horrible person; he’s unnecessarily harsh to everyone around him. He’s just kind of an a-hole.”
Alleged Bribery to Keep Quiet
Brianna recently recounted on her Barstool Sports podcast how her relationship with Zach ended. She claimed he offered her $12 million to remain silent about their time together.
Despite the large sum, LaPaglia rejected the offer, calling her ex a bad person. “I don’t want any money. I believe it’s disrespectful. I think it’s messed up,” she stated.
Moreover, “Chickenfry” mentioned that she wasn’t the only one approached by Bryan to keep details private; other women had accepted payments and signed non-disclosure agreements.
Following her revelations, another former partner of Bryan, Deb Peifer, shared her own experience on TikTok, accusing him of emotional abuse while enjoying a glass of wine.
Current Situation of Zach Bryan
In light of these serious accusations, Bryan is currently in the midst of his “Quittin’ Time” tour, which will wrap up in December. Afterward, the 28-year-old plans to take a break from music to pursue a master’s degree in Paris.
He already has a concert lined up for June 28, 2025, in London at Hyde Park.
Recently, Zach released a new single titled “High Road,” which many interpret as having veiled messages directed at his critics, featuring lyrics like, “Everyone tells me that I need help or therapy / But all I need is to be left alone.”
