    Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia aren’t “BFFs” — or boyfriend and girlfriend — anymore.

    The breakup controversy surrounding the Grammy Award-winning, genre-bending singer and popular podcast host “BFFs” is going viral following LaPaglia’s revelations on a Thursday episode of her podcast.

    “All I wanted was a friendlier goodbye,” LaPaglia said, adding that the process of their breakup consisted of “throwing away, leaving, goodbye. I’m crying.”

    She claimed that Bryan offered her a $12 million nondisclosure agreement after the breakup — and she turned it down — adding that she stands up “for anyone who has been emotionally abused.” It is for people who are currently being emotionally abused. I don’t have a support system that I was fortunate enough to go through.”

    USA TODAY has reached out to Bryan’s rep for comment.

    The podcast, which features Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards as co-hosts, was filled with other revelations, including claims about their night at the Golden Globes and what she says was a surprise split announcement.

    “The last year of my life was the hardest year of my life dealing with this guy’s abuse,” she said, adding that she is “still scared now because I’m scared of him.”

    Here’s what you need to know about the controversy and the pair of rising superstars.

    LaPaglia claimed during the episode that Bryan “didn’t like” her dress at this year’s Golden Globes, leading to an explosive disagreement between the pair.

    “He didn’t like my dress,” LaPaglia added, claiming Bryan said, “He didn’t want to date someone who presents themselves that way.”

    “He ruined my night,” LaPaglia said. “Everything good, everything I did for me, he had to ruin it 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 continued, “He makes me believe that I have to change my image to keep up with his or something,” adding that the situation between them was “twisted.”

    Who is Zach Bryan? Who is Bri Chickenfry?

    Bryan, a U.S. Navy veteran and Oklahoma native, is best known for his songs “Revival,” “Something in the Orange,” “Pink Skies,” “Heading South” and “28.” He has received a total of four Grammy nominations for his country-tinged work. He also won a Grammy Award for his collaboration with Kacey Musgraves, “I Remember Everything.”

    LaPaglia hosts “PlanBri Uncut Barstool Sports” and the “BFFs” podcast. She rose to fame with her popular TikTok account, where she amassed 1.6 million fans, with whom she shares updates on life, love and career.

    In May, the two were involved in a side-by-side car accident and LaPaglia took to TikTok to recount the “traumatizing” incident for fans.

    “It flipped over a bunch of times, everything shattered and thank God we had our seat belts on,” LaPaglia said of the crash, which happened two nights earlier. “But there was a lot of blood shed and we thought we were saying goodbye to each other.”

    The two split last month, when Bryan announced the split on his Instagram account.

    “I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a long time and for that I will always thank her,” he said. “I have personally had an incredibly difficult year and have been struggling through some pretty serious things. I thought it would be good for both of us to go our separate ways. I am not perfect and never will be. Respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine does too.”

    Shortly after Bryan’s announcement, LaPaglia responded with a message of his own. “Hey guys, I’m really feeling blindsided right now,” she wrote on her own Instagram Story. “I’m going to be off social media for a while and try to heal privately. When I’m ready, I’ll be back and ready to talk.”

    “How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally, like doing things you shouldn’t do… how can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and be thrown away in a few days?” LaPaglia wrote to fans that she did not want to talk about details and “at this time I wanted to heal privately.”
