Zach Bryan and Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Grammys.

On October 30, LaPaglia revealed she and her podcast co-hosts, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, decided to skip another episode of "BFFs" as she was "having a very hard time figuring out how I want to handle this publicly due to all the backlash."

She was seemingly referring to the condemnation she faced over her comments about the Menendez brothers and her alleged feud with Grace O'Malley, to name a few.

"I am going to put my mental health first this week," LaPaglia continued. "Josh and Dave want to make sure I do what’s best for me."

The 25-year-old soon claimed Bryan blocked her following their breakup.

Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia detailed the emotional abuse she reportedly experienced while dating Zach Bryan.

LaPaglia dropped some shocking claims following her breakup with Bryan, accusing him of emotionally abusing her during their relationship.

On the November 7 episode of "BFFs" podcast, she claimed she declined a $12 million settlement allegedly offered to her if she agreed to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which would have silenced her from sharing her experiences with the "I Remember Everything" singer.

According to LaPaglia, she was told she would receive it "over the course of three years."

"I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think it’s beneath me. I think that it’s f----- up," LaPaglia continued.

During the same episode, the podcaster looked back at the time the "Oak Island" singer "freaked the f--- out" when he heard her singing Morgan Wallen's track "Last Night."

She quoted her ex yelling, “You’re singing another man’s song under my roof, in this house that I own.”

LaPaglia added she was also not allowed to listen to Noah Kahan's songs.
