Celebrity breakups are the stuff that screaming tabloid headlines and swampy social media feeding frenzies are made of. Take the split between influencer Brianna Chickenfry (her name is actually Brianna LaPaglia) and Zach Bryan, for example. Their parting of the romantic ways recently has been trumpeted just about everywhere. Now Brianna is emerging with comments about Bryan that are not terribly flattering.

Brianna Chickenfry Says Zach Bryan's Renown Eventually Got In The Way
She Told All Recently On Alix Earle's 'Hot Mess' Podcast
Brianna, 25, recently was a guest on Earle's podcast and she had plenty to say about her ex beau. Via Whiskey Riff, she said, "In the beginning, it was a mirror of myself which I obviously didn't know, but I was falling in love with him because I thought it was him. But I was falling in love with myself because when you're in a relationship with a narcissist, they just like mirror who you are. You're just falling in love with the person that you are because they like to cling to all of your good parts."
She continued, "So he was hyping me up for all of these great things about me, he loved that I was outspoken, he loved my job, and then, like, slowly and slowly, it just started deteriorating. Like it would start with little nitpicks..."

Brianna said, "But like that should have been a red flag... this happens to so many men in power. They take advantage of women and nobody talks about it because when money is involved everything gets thrown under the rug and money rules everything... you're just surrounded by 'yes' men."
She claims that she approached people in his orbit about the things that bothered her, but she got nowhere. According to Brianna, "I would try and have these conversations with his circle and it was just an echo chamber of, 'Oh, he's a tortured soul.' He's just this. He's just that.' But it's like, no, he's just a bad person."
