"You get to go skip off and sing your little f---ing songs on stage like you're a good dude ... Sorry, I'm not them."
Although Bryan has not commented publicly on the allegations, he subtly referenced his ex in a video, sharing a clip on his Instagram Stories that featured himself setting fire to a flag for Barstool Sports — the media company that hosts LaPaglia's podcast.
During an appearance onCasual Chaosin April 2025, LaPaglia opened up about howher relationship with Bryan impacted her.
"I was catching myself worried about what I was saying or how people would perceive me and I was never like that before," she said at the time. "I couldn't recognize myself anymore... I didn't even realize I was turning into something that I wasn't."
She added, "And I think that's...kind of when the light bulb went off... Someone really can have so much control or power over you without you even realizing it."
