After a few salty jabs in the comments of TikTok last week, Zach Bryan took to his Instagram Story this early this morning to air a short series of old messages from his ex-girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia to himself and his manager.
We’ve broken down a timeline of events as the text messages indicated (screenshots cited below the timeline):
- Sunday, October 27, 2024, 9:24 PM CDT: Brianna messaged Bryan’s manager, stating, “Where I’m at Option A – 12 million I say nothing about him just say yeah we broke up i really want to move on and heal… Option B – Duxbury house, I essentially take the high road. Talk about the ending. Won’t talk about the non public cheating (there is a lot throughout our whole entire relationship I am finding out about) won’t talk about him being a narcissist. Just say he did me a favor I’m happy I got out and I wish him the best. Let him be a lesson learned. Can guarantee the Grace recording shit never gets talked about. I have no control over Josh & Dave (they really hate him, but I will not feed into any of it. They are on their own, they have no insider information from me so everything they ever say would be already public knowledge) Option C – essentially a messy war I air out everything I experienced and don’t hold back.”
- Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 2:06 PM CDT: She sent Bryan a personal note, saying, “Enjoy Oklahoma and know through this all I still have love for you and things would have ended a lot differently if it were up to me. I hope one day you can see past all the bullshit of your life and know I was always in your corner. Finish off the last leg of tour strong like you always do. Enjoy Paris and wherever you end up just know that I’ll be wherever I end up wishing the best for you. If you ever need a family to lean on mine will always be yours, me not attached. I’ll never forget the love I felt for you at one time in this life! Timing was wrong and you weren’t ready and that’s okay. Enjoy being a rockstar. If you ever need a friend that gets it I’ll always be here, I don’t break my promises. I never wanted the lifestyle or money attached to you, just wanted to love someone I felt was worth loving. And I’ll choose to believe you didn’t mean all the things you said to me tonight, even if you did. I want to leave this with love and love only on my end. That’s all I wanted and I do believe I deserved a goodbye. You knew you’d never see me again when you left and so did I. Tell Mac I love her and please take care of stump, I’ll think of him everyday until I die lol. And give Jack a big huge hug for Boston and I.”
- Monday, July 14, 2025, 10:19 AM CDT: Brianna countered with a text from Bryan’s manager, captioned “His manager texting me THEIR OPTIONS FOR NDA.”
- The text from Zach’s manager read, “A. Duxbury House + 3 million Or B. 10 million payment Terms would be: – Say nothing about zach – Just say yeah we broke up really want to move on and heal – Won’t talk about the non public cheating – Guarantee the Grace recording never gets talked about. – She has no control over Josh & Dave but she will not feed into any of it. – She says they are on their own, they have no insider information from me so everything they ever say would be already public knowledge – Basically Brianna will be the verification for any speculated rumors or conspiracy. She will deflect or defend Zach in moments people try to pry at the relationship and detail’s during it – Ability to discuss general break up.”
- Monday, July 14, 2025, 10:20 AM–10:33 AM CDT: Brianna’s statement read, “I have not told ONE lie ever and it’s baffling to me the brain dead little army of men that so clearly abuse women too that blindly follow their little leader be he makes songs for them about being bad boyz lol… “
- “For those of you confused my ex posted screenshots of our texts (where I’m being nice lol) this morning at 12am. He also commented on TikTok’s about me last week. I am simply responding to him attacking me. I want nothing to do with this man idk why he’s crashing out… Texts he posted were from our breakup. I have had him blocked since then! Okay going to work now…
- One last thing, I am not taking the bait and please stop dming me to expose him. The proof is literally in the pudding I don’t need to relive my trauma for the sake of online entertainment. Like I’ve said FROM DAY ONE. I shared my experiences that I thought would be helpful for other women and I’ll continue to honor that. What I went through is not drama or tea, I nearly killed myself. I am finally happy and free of the hold he had on me and I will not be giving an open invitation to that dark cloud back into my life. I was offered 12.9 million dollars to stay quiet. I was presented options on what I could choose. I chose none because I have morals End of story. I’m so sick of this shit idk why he’s crashing out. Maybe it was the bikini pics? lol fr tho end of story from me!”
