Brianna LaPaglia recently opened up about her ex-boyfriend, Zach Bryan, and his anger issues, revealing how his outbursts led to their breakup.
On Thursday, November 7, LaPaglia appeared on the BFFs live podcast, where she shared personal experiences, including one intense moment. “He stood up at the fire and just started screaming at my friends, ‘You’re not going to be anything, you’re a f–king loser,’ like just the most horrible s–t. ‘You’re never going to make it,’ like ‘you live off other people.’ Just crazy — out of nowhere. I’m like, ‘what the f–k’ but when Zach’s in this zone, there’s no containing it.”
LaPaglia talked about the issues in their relationship and how it only took a year for things to fall apart.
The breaking point came on her birthday, when they were at a gathering in New Hampshire. That night, Bryan allegedly began “throwing jabs” at her friends, calling them “idiots” while sitting around the fire.
“It was like, all my girlfriends were crying, and I was thinking, ‘What happened?’” she said on the podcast, adding that when she went downstairs, she saw her aunt trying to calm Bryan down.
“It’s starting to make more sense why $12 million,” said Portnoy, the 47-year-old founder of Barstool Sports. “I think you told that story well. I think it needed to be told. I think it explains a lot.”

“It came down to the point of I’m not the people before, and I was someone before you, and you made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you, sign their experiences away, sign what they went through away,” said LaPaglia.
