AceShowbiz - Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia has weighed in on her former boyfriend Zach Bryan's response or lack thereof following her abuse claims. On a recent episode of the "BFFs" podcast, LaPaglia slammed the country music singer's silence, describing it as "deafening."

"I think the response itself, the silence, is deafening," the 25-year-old podcaster stated on the November 13 episode. LaPaglia suggested that Bryan's decision not to respond was a strategic move to avoid denying the accusations, which would prompt her to release "all the videos and the recordings."

Bryan has yet to publicly address the allegations directly, instead sharing cryptic Instagram Stories featuring quotes from Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" and songs like J.R. Carroll's "Hometown Hero" and Matt Maeson's "Cringe."

LaPaglia and Bryan's relationship lasted from July 2023 until October, with LaPaglia claiming the breakup blindsided her. She later alleged that Bryan and his team offered her $12 million to stay silent, an offer she declined.

Despite her bombshell remarks, LaPaglia has made it clear that her intent is not to ruin Bryan. "I hope that he actually looks at it, reflects and takes time to fix himself, and stop putting women in these situations," she said.

"I did not accept any money, I will not accept any money," she affirmed. "I think that's beneath me; I think that is f***ed up."

LaPaglia suggested she had been holding back from telling "worse" stories about her ex. "I wanted to cut the birthday party story because it was going to paint him in a bad light," she said.

"There's a lot that I'm not saying. There's a lot that he did that I'm not saying and it's almost because, one, it's so hard I don't even want it out there and I don't want to relive it," she disclosed.

Zach Bryan remains silent and so do his ex-girlfriends, including Deb Peifer and Rose Madden, possibly because they signed NDAs. It didn't, however, prevent Peifer from making cryptic comments about her own experiences using Taylor Swift lyrics on TikTok.

As the story continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether Bryan will choose to address the allegations head-on or maintain his cryptic silence.
