‘I’m Scared Of Him:’ Brianna LaPaglia Alleges Ex Zach Bryan Abused Her

Many fans of Zach Bryan were surprised when he announced his breakup with BFF’s podcast host, Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia. Now, she has accused him of abusing her emotionally during their relationship.

According to People magazine, she talked about it on November 7, Thursday, on the aforementioned podcast, which she co-hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. While reportedly referring to Bryan, she said that the last year of her life has been the most difficult one as she dealt with “abuse” from this individual.

Brianna stated, “I’m still scared right now because I’m scared of him,” adding, “My brain’s rewired and I’m scared to make him mad and last week, I didn’t want to talk about it ’cause I was scared.”

While talking about the alleged abuse, the podcaster said that it was a continued cycle of building you up, beating you down, and apologizing again and again. She said that another excuse was always there as to why he treated her in a poor manner and why she cried herself to sleep each night.

Brianna further expressed, “Why he’s screaming at me and then you wake up, it’s the apology, it’s the ‘I’m going to be better like I need you in my life,’ but if you’ve been through this — I don’t expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven’t been through it. I hope you never have to go through it but if you’ve been there you know what I’m talking about.”

On the podcast, she alleged, that Bryan’s exes were made to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) so they wouldn’t be publicly talking about their own experiences with the country singer. She claimed that his team offered USD 12 million along with a house and a New York apartment in order to not discuss the relationship, per People magazine.

She said that he made the women before her believe that they did not have any other option than to take the money from him and sign away their experiences and what they went through.

The podcaster added that he gets to “skip off” and sing his tracks on stage like he is a good person and he gets to treat people around him poorly. She said that she was not one of those and she did not want his money.

Brianna expressed that she did not want to buy a house two years from now and thought that the money was from a guy who had destroyed and broken her for a year.

The podcast host revealed that her decision to talk about the alleged experiences was for other people who have been abused emotionally and for those who are suffering from that currently.

Brianna expressed that it was for anyone who did not have the support that she was lucky enough to have. She clarified that this was not like a “drama thing” for her or her not signing the NDA or not deciding to take money because she wanted to get on there and “expose” who he is.

She expressed about not signing away her experiences and what she went through protecting someone who “hurt” her. Brainna said that she was a lot more strong than a “weak man, f*** you and f*** your money.”

Liam Payne’s Friend And Hotel Employee Charged In Alleged Drug Deal Tied To Singer’s Death

Trigger Warning: This article contains mentions of alcohol, drug addiction and an indvidual’s death. 

Liam Payne’s tragic death has led to criminal charges against three individuals, including a friend, a hotel employee, and an alleged drug dealer, according to the National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office.

The friend who reportedly claimed to be Payne’s manager has been charged with abandonment for failing to inform the singer’s family about his alleged drug relapse, as reported by La Nación. The hotel employee and alleged drug dealer have been charged with supplying narcotics to the late singer.

The former One Direction member died on October 16 after falling from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Payne had been staying at the hotel with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, who left the country days before his death.

The friend, whose identity remains undisclosed, allegedly failed to respond when hotel managers attempted to contact him after Payne’s fatal fall. According to reports, police tried reaching him through a phone number provided by hotel staff, but he did not answer. Later, a lawyer visited the hotel to inquire if the friend faced any charges.

A judge later ruled that the friend had breached his duty of care to Payne, leading to abandonment charges. If convicted, the friend could face a prison sentence of five to 15 years. Prosecutors have accused him of failing to act in Payne’s best interests during his drug relapse.

The hotel employee and alleged drug dealer are accused of collaborating to supply drugs to Payne. Authorities discovered the alleged drug dealer’s phone number during a raid on the hotel and later searched his home in Lomas de Zamora, Argentina. Items seized included a jar of marijuana, nine cell phones, three computers, and portable storage devices.

Investigators believe the hotel employee contacted the alleged drug dealer to procure illegal substances for Payne. TMZ previously reported that police were focusing on a soap box found in Payne’s room, suspecting it was used to discreetly deliver drugs.

Photos from the singer’s hotel room showed drug paraphernalia scattered on a table, including prescription medications like clonazepam.

A toxicology report revealed multiple drugs in Payne’s system, including pink cocaine, a mixture of ecstasy, ketamine, caffeine, and the psychedelic 2-CB. He had also ingested cocaine, crack, and benzodiazepine.

Despite the charges, the investigation into Payne’s death is still ongoing. While the toxicology report highlighted drug use, his cause of death was attributed to multiple traumas and internal bleeding from the fall.

Prosecutors have also interviewed two women who were with Payne in his room on the day of his death. The women, identified as escorts, testified that they only drank alcohol with Payne and did not use drugs. However, one of the women reportedly gave conflicting accounts, leading to further scrutiny.

Reports also suggest the women fought with Payne over unpaid services. Hotel managers attempted to resolve the financial dispute by contacting Payne’s friend, but he did not respond to their calls.

Payne’s body has been flown back to England for burial, with his father, Geoff Payne, overseeing the arrangements. The singer’s untimely death has left fans and loved ones mourning while authorities work to uncover the full details of the tragic incident.
