Brianna LaPaglia Claims Zach Bryan Was Emotionally Abusive ... 'I'm Still Scared Right Now'
update
6:10 PM PT -- In the new "BFF's" podcast episode, Brianna LaPaglia dove into some of the emotional abuse she endured while dating Zach Bryan.
Starting off with a huge admission ... Brianna was allegedly offered $12 million by Zach's team to sign an NDA ... which she clearly rejected.
Brianna talked about the infamous Raya profile screenshot that went viral on social media ... revealing that she got a bunch of DMs telling her Zach was on the dating app.
BL says he allegedly merely responded that he "reactivated" the app when confronted ... which is why she claims he posted about the breakup ... 'cause he got caught.
What's more ... Brianna says there was a lot of isolation and manipulation in their relationship, giving the example of Zach allegedly not liking her Golden Globes dress and not wanting to date someone who presented themselves like that ... so he unfollowed her -- but he later reposted the dress snap, claiming she was beautiful ... among many other examples throughout the podcast.
Brianna claims there was never a breakup convo, and their relationship ended with Zach telling her he 'couldn't do this,' only to head back to Oklahoma by himself.
An emotional whirlwind indeed.
Brianna LaPaglia's split from Zach Bryan is somehow getting even nastier ... she's just unleashed claims that the country star was emotionally abusive throughout their relationship.
The Barstool Sports personality opened up on her messy breakup with Bryan on Thursday's episode of "BFFs" ... making some heavy claims against the "Something In The Orange" singer while behind the mic.

Bri told her cohosts, Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, that Bryan made her life hell since they first got together in 2023 ... while claiming even now -- several days after they've decided to go their separate ways -- she's still terrified of him.
