Zach Bryan and Briana Chickenfry
The drama between Zach Bryan, a country singer, and Briana Chickenfry, a social media personality and podcast host, largely stemmed from a series of public events and posts that sparked a lot of attention and speculation among fans.
Here’s a summary of the situation:
- The Initial Relationship: Zach Bryan and Briana Chickenfry (whose real name is Briana LaPaglia) were rumored to be dating in early 2023. Both had shared social media posts that hinted at a relationship, though neither of them explicitly confirmed it at the time. Fans were intrigued, especially since Zach Bryan had become a rising star in country music and Briana had a significant following as a personality on TikTok and through her podcast.
- The Public Breakup: In November 2024, drama broke out when Zach Bryan seemingly broke up with Briana. Zach posted an emotional message on social media, indicating that he had ended the relationship and was moving on. Briana, meanwhile, posted her own content expressing how heartbroken and confused she was by the breakup. This suggesting that Zach had been less than clear about his intentions.
- Social Media Drama: Following the breakup, both Zach and Briana took to social media to address their feelings. Things became more heated when Zach posted a message that many interpreted as a direct dig at Briana. He wrote something along the lines of “I’m done with the drama”. This took a stand against public relationships and oversharing on social media. Briana then reacted by posting more cryptic messages that fans speculated were aimed at him. She later posted a TikTok video that many interpreted as a sarcastic take on their failed relationship.
- Briana’s Podcast: Briana also discussed the situation on her podcast, where she seemed to express frustration with the way the breakup had unfolded, as well as how public figures handle their personal lives. This further added to the narrative that Zach was trying to maintain a “clean” image while distancing himself from drama, but at the same time, it felt like he was dragging her into it.
- The Fallout: As the fallout from the breakup continued to unfold, fans took sides, with some supporting Zach for his transparency and others siding with Briana, feeling that she was unfairly treated. Many fans of both sides had mixed feelings, as both were seen as likable and genuine figures but caught up in a situation where their personal lives became public fodder for their followers.
$12 Million Dollar Hush Money
Briana has stated on her podcast that Zach Bryan allegedly had offered to pay her $12 million for her silence. The rumor that Zach Bryan offered Briana Chickenfry $12 million for her silence is one of the more dramatic claims to come out of the drama surrounding their brief relationship. However, there’s no solid confirmation from Zach Bryan but has been stated by Briana and friends Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards.
Here’s what likely happened and how the rumor evolved:
Background
After Zach Bryan and Briana Chickenfry’s very public breakup, there was a lot of speculation, with both parties posting about the situation on social media. Zach, who is known for being outspoken and candid, had made some comments that fans speculated were about Briana, and Briana also shared her thoughts online. This public airing of personal matters led to a lot of drama and commentary from their respective fanbases.
The $12 Million Rumor
At some point, a rumor started circulating online that Zach Bryan had allegedly offered Briana $12 million in exchange for her silence about their relationship. The rumor claimed that Zach wanted her to stop talking about him and the details of their breakup in the public sphere, particularly on her podcast and social media.
Why the Rumor Was So Engaging
The idea of a $12 million payoff for silence taps into a number of things that make celebrity gossip compelling: it involves massive sums of money, high-stakes drama, and the suggestion of hidden dealings behind closed doors. Fans of both Zach and Briana were already emotionally invested in their breakup, and this rumor only added fuel to the fire. It also made Zach look like he was trying to control the narrative, which sparked more conversations about his intentions.
Diss Track Made By Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards
Multiple diss tracks have surfaced regarding the breakup between Briana and Zach. This stems from the way Zach Bryan had treated their friend throughout their relationship. Zach Bryan allegedly was cheating on Briana throughout their relationship, per new information from Briana on Tik Tok, as well as had gotten angry with her for sining a Morgan Wallen song, Last Night, in Zach Bryan’s house.

They’ve posted photos together, often showing off their relationship in cute, heartfelt moments. Fans of Sasha, who followed his career on “Dancing with the Stars,” were able to see that he seemed very happy with Jenn.
- Public Interest: Though not a super-public couple in the traditional sense, Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber caught the attention of fans. Due to their relatively low-key relationship, especially when compared to other more famous celebrity couples in the entertainment industry. Their relationship is viewed as sweet and grounded, with the couple posting messages of love and support for one another.
- Privacy and Personal Life: Unlike some other celebrities, Sasha and Jenn have maintained a fairly private life. They have chosen not to overshare personal details, which has allowed them to keep normalcy in their relationship. They still continue to engage with fans through social media when they feel comfortable.

Samantha and Cecily Buachmann PJ Drama
Tik Tok stars Samantha Cecily Bauchmann have undergone some controversy over their overpriced, holiday pajama line “4 The Mems“. These are supposed to be matching family pajamas. But, their price has fans angry and portraying the business owners as tone deaf. One pair of pajamas cost $75 and they are not even made of great material. Originally, the price was higher. But after so many complaints, they claimed they would lower the price “which result in them gaining no profit”. Why does it cost $75 to make pajamas? That is the question fans are asking with no reasoning provided by Cecily or Samantha. They even have canceled paying customers orders, fear they would give a poor review of their product on Tik Tok.
Overall, the way Cecily and Samantha have handled this situation has caused a lot of controversy within their fan base. They do not seem genuine in the matter. Fans are quickly realizing they do not seem to care and continue to dig a deeper hole for themselves.
