Brianna LaPaglia's Golden Globes Appearance and Dating Life After Zach Bryan Split

Created: JANUARY 26, 2025

Following a very public breakup with country music star Zach Bryan, social media influencer Brianna LaPaglia, known as Brianna Chickenfry, made a striking appearance at the Golden Globes. She graced the red carpet in a form-fitting bronze gown with a plunging neckline, a bold choice that differed from the sheer silver dress she initially showcased on her Instagram stories. This marked her first major awards show appearance since the split, during which LaPaglia accused Bryan of emotional abuse, allegations he has not publicly addressed.

Despite the seemingly empowering move, LaPaglia revealed she's not currently interested in dating. In an interview with US Weekly at the event, she described dating as a "dark hole" she's avoiding. She even revealed a bet with her podcast co-host, Josh Richards, wagering that she can remain boyfriend-free until June 21st.

"Dating looks like a dark hole that I don’t want to jump into."

The breakup became public fodder when LaPaglia detailed their challenging relationship online, alleging emotional abuse and claiming Bryan offered a $12 million settlement with a nondisclosure agreement. She shared these revelations on her podcast, "BFFs Pod," which she co-hosts with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. LaPaglia stated her decision not to accept the money was a stand for others who have experienced emotional abuse.

LaPaglia's accusations came shortly after Bryan announced their split in October, citing personal struggles and believing separation was best for both of them. He acknowledged his imperfections in the announcement.
