“I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”

“I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.”

What did Brianna Chickenfry say about Zach Bryan split?

After Bryan posted about the split on Instagram, LaPaglia posted her own message.

“Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now,” she said on Instagram. “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.”

LaPaglia also posted a video on YouTube on Tuesday following the public announcement of the split.

As she sat on the bathroom floor in her robe with her cat, she addressed her fans: “I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up,” she said.

“He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me, I just woke up to a bunch of texts being like ‘are you okay?’ and I’m like: ‘Did my f***ing dad die?'”

“I’m like completely blindsided by that … I’ve been crying for like five days straight,” she said.

“How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally, like through stuff that you shouldn’t, … how can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be discarded of in a few days?”

LaPaglia said that she doesn’t want to talk about details now, but will later. “I wanted to heal privately,” she said. “And I didn’t even know that he was gonna post that and we broke up yesterday. So, I wasn’t ready to do anything publicly … I wanted to just handle this as a human first.”

LaPaglia also posted on Instagram on Tuesday, sharing a handwritten series of thoughts: “The world keeps on spinning in hopes of showing you that you can as well.”
