Recently, Brianna LaPaglia spoke with Elite Daily, where she reflects on the tumultuous saga she had with Zach Bryan. Additionally, she acknowledges that all this talk about her relationship has genuinely changed her life. "I can't really fathom it or grasp it, but when I meet people in real life, it feels like, 'Holy sh*t! So many people follow me and I'm actually a public figure.' But online, it still feels unreal. I feel like it's just my diary," she explains.

Then, of course, Brianna indulges a little further into how she feels about that time in her life now that the smoke is all settled.

Brianna Chickenfry Dishes on The Zach Bryan Relationship Once Again

LaPaglia says that if she's ever going to head into the dating pool again, she needs to establish an equal partnership with the person. Moreover, she notes that in her previous relationship with Zach Bryan, the support and fawning wasn't exactly mutual. "I was really with someone who was my biggest hater, and I was their biggest fan," Brianna states. "So I want it to be reciprocated. I just want a normal person that can laugh with me, and someone that understands my life, but isn't in the same realm."

At the end of the day, she's proud of herself that she stood her ground against Zach Bryan. However, she doesn't envy the state of mind she was in at the time. Consequently, LaPaglia finally seems ready to move forward in her podcasting without talking about the old relationship saga as much.

"I always trusted my intuition and my gut, and I did it for me. It was a selfish moment where I was like, 'I'm doing this for me, and I'm taking me back.' That will always be one of the proudest moments in my life," Brianna says. "Still, I can't look back at that episode — I can't even look at that girl — it's a sad time of my life."
