Zach Bryan BLOCKED ex-girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry after shock split

Zach Bryan's ex-girlfriend Brianna Chickenfry claims he blocked her on Instagram following their dramatic breakup.

The 25-year-old made the shocking statement while promoting her upcoming dissident track “Smallest Man” with her best friend's podcast co-hosts Josh Richards and Dave Portnoy.

The trio uploaded the song's cover art to the BFFs' Instagram on Tuesday and announced it would be released at midnight.

While many fans expressed their excitement over the track, others criticized Brianna, Dave and Josh for not being “brave enough” to tag Zach in the promo post.

“We’re all blocked,” Brianna retorted in the comments section.

This comes just two weeks after Zach, 28, shocked his fans – and Brianna herself – by announcing their split on his Instagram Story.

“I want to address something: Brianna and I have separated (sic) and I respect and love her with all my heart,” the country singer began.

“She loved me unconditionally for a very long time and I will always thank her for that.”

“I've personally had an incredibly tough year and have had to go through some pretty bad things.” I thought it would be beneficial for both of us if we went down different paths. I am not perfect and never will be.

“Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space, and if you hold him in your heart, then mine as well.”

“To all that I am and to everyone I have let down, I am sorry.” I try my best in everything. “I let down people who love me and especially myself,” Zach concluded.

Hours later, Brianna uploaded a tearful video to her YouTube account in which she admitted to being “completely surprised” by the breakup while wallowing on her bathroom floor.

She also claimed that Zach – who she had been dating since July 2023 – made the public announcement without telling her first.

“I just woke up when Zach posted on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going to blow up.” “He didn't text me, he didn't call me,” she said in the camera.

She revealed that she woke up to a barrage of text messages asking her if she was OK before learning that Zach had confirmed their breakup to the world.

“I just woke up to a bunch of text messages asking, ‘Are you OK?’ And I’m like, did my f***ing dad die? Yeah, so I'm completely taken aback by this. I also really feel like I've been crying for about five days straight.

“Sorry if there's a lot of jumping around in this video, but I've gotten to the point where I'm asking: How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally through things you shouldn't? … like you.” See the good in them.

“This is so embarrassing,” she said. “I don’t give a shit. How can you give someone your whole self and then leave them within a few days? It's really, really heartbreaking.

“I don't want to discuss details now, I don't want to talk about it yet.” Of course I will. But right now I wanted to heal privately and I didn't even know he was going to post this. We broke up yesterday. I wasn't ready to do anything publicly.

“Now I just get a ton of damn text messages and stuff. At first I just wanted to deal with it as a human being, but now it's not like that anymore. I'm just asking you guys now if you can please respect my privacy and when I'm ready to talk about everything that happened I will. But at the moment I'm just completely taken aback. And thank you for all the nice messages. I'll be fine, I'll be fine.

“I just want to be injured and in bed for a week. I just didn't want it to be public. I just feel caught off guard. “I love you very much,” she said.

After the spill, drama spread across social media.

Brianna's pal Portnoy posted a link to a telling song – Taylor Swift's “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”

Additionally, an X user also shared alleged private direct messages between Zach and a mystery woman.

It is unclear when the messages occurred or who he was speaking to, and the posts were subsequently deleted by X.

The breakup announcement came a day after fans speculated that the duo had gone their separate ways after a Reddit user claimed to have seen Zach on the celebrity dating app Raya, with photos of his alleged profile as well as a photo of a handwritten poem , which Brianna had shared to her Instagram.

In the post, he praised Brianna for loving him “unconditionally” and asked his fans to “respect her privacy and space.”

The poem read: “And someday you will find that life goes on, even when you don't want it to.” The days will pass and the world will move as you ask it to stop.

“They will believe that life is cruel if you carry on while your feet are stuck.”

“You will find people and moments responsible for your concrete feet.”

“Then the morning will come when you wake up and realize that things move on, life isn’t cruel, your feet are.”

“The world keeps turning hoping to show you that you can too.” Below was a drawing of a single stick figure.

A source told DailyMail.com that Zach's impulsive breakup with Brianna was due to his ongoing mental health issues and grief over his mother's death, which caused him to resort to self-sabotage.

According to insiders, Zach is having a hard time coming to terms with the “emotional rollercoaster” he's been on since his mother Annette's death in 2016. They claim the singer is struggling to maintain relationships as he is still trying to “figure himself out”.

“Zach’s life has been an emotional rollercoaster since his mother died,” an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. “Zach has struggled with mental health issues.

“His mother was his rock and he was able to learn from her and her struggles, and now he doesn't have that outlet.” “Brianna was someone who took on Zach and worked through all of his problems.”

The source said that he “doesn't handle relationships very well because he's still trying to understand himself,” adding that he “doesn't want to be a burden.”

They continued, “And once things are going well, he seems to sabotage himself by distancing himself from a good cause, and that's exactly what he seems to be doing with Brianna.”

Zach desperately wants to be in a relationship but just can't stand a relationship on top of everything else.

“He can’t handle that much fear in life,” the insider continued. “He has a hard enough time navigating his life, his career and his mental health, so it's difficult to fit a relationship into the mix, no matter how good it is, even if it's exactly what he wants. “

“Zach is definitely on the hunt for people who will be there for him at all costs.” As soon as he feels like that isn’t the case, he leaves them cold.

“Brianna happens to be the last person to deal with this. “When she says she was blindsided, she's telling the truth.”
