Zach Bryan's ex Brianna Chickenfry hints at filing a restraining order after he films himself BURNING a flag
Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia has hinted that she wants to file a restraining order against ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan after he was seen burning a Barstool Sports flag.
On Monday, 29-year-old singer Zach took to social media where he filmed himself setting fire to the emblem - belonging to the company where Brianna works as a podcaster and content creator - outside on his lawn.
After torching the flag which was branded with the tagline 'Saturdays Are for the Boys,' he ran over and hit the flag with a golf club before jumping on the back of his tractor to seemingly retrieve it.
While Zach did not caption the uploads, he did add the song, Bitin' List by Tyler Childers to the videos, which contains shocking lyrics.
'To put it plain, I just don't like you / not a thing about the way you is,' Tyler sings. 'And if there ever come a time I got rabies / you're high on my bitin' list.'
Following Zach's posts, Brianna, 26, shared a screenshot of an internet search in which she had Googled 'how do I file a restraining order.'
Meanwhile, Barstool founder and friend of Brianna, David Portnoy, mocked the country star's actions.
Reposting the video to his own Instagram page, he wrote: 'Oh no. How are we gonna recover?'
Brianna and Zach had a tumultuous relationship and public breakup last year.
Two months after meeting at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May of 2023, they began a romance - making a high-profile debut together on the red carpet at the 2024 Grammys.
However, tables turned in October of 2024 when Zach announced in a lengthy statement to Instagram that the pair have parted ways after more than one year together.
Zach posted to his account: 'Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with eachother (sic) and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I'll always thank her.'
'I've had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go out different ways. I am not perfect and never will be,' he continued in his statement.
'Please respect Brianna's privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.
'With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.'
Just over 30 minutes after his statement, Brianna alluded to the break-up with her own message stating she was going to be taking a social media break after feeling 'really blindsided.'
Shortly after the bizarre move, Brianna shared a screenshot of her search about how to file a restraining order
'Hey guys I'm feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I'm ready I'll be back and ready to talk,' she said.
'I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything's always gonna be OK.'
Shortly after the statements, the drama-filled feud began to take flight on social media, as Brianna admitted Zach announced the split prior to telling her he was going to share the break-up post.
The breakup only began to get messier in November, when the Barstool Sports podcaster was upset that the he posted an image of a pet they once shared to social media.
'If this man posts this f***ing cat one more time, then I'm gonna post videos of you whipping s*** at my face,' she said. 'So can you stop f***ing posting my cat and rubbing it in my face.'
She also claimed that Zach had subjected her to 'narcissistic, emotional' abuse throughout their relationship.
In a post from last year, the influencer also revealed that Zach had picked out an engagement ring for her while he was 'was cheating the whole time.'
During an episode of the BFFs Podcast, Brianna opened up about allegedly refusing to sign an NDA from Zach, as well as refusing to accept any money or what she called 'bribes' from his team.
Daily Mail has contacted Zach for comment. At the time of writing, he has not publicly addressed Brianna's past allegations.
In January, he did hit back at keyboard warriors targeting his inner circle.
'I'm not asking for sympathy but going for my -friends- is so low and so messed up,' he said at the time.
'I love my life. I have worked REALLY hard for it. Whether you think I deserve it or not. Whether you think I suck or not. Stop being such sad fat fingered internet sleuths to my friends.'
