Jenn Tran is relating to Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s bombshell claims about ex Zach Bryan.
In a TikTok posted on Saturday, November 9, Tran, 26, stood in a room with her arms crossed and stared at the camera in between rolling her eyes. “Me listening to Bri’s story and sending her so much love because it sounds a little too familiar,” Tran wrote over the clip.
Tran paired the video with audio from LaPaglia’s Thursday, November 7, episode of the “BFFs” podcast. “He manipulated the f— out of me,” LaPaglia, 25, said of Bryan, 28, during the episode. “Like, I truly thought he was this great dude because in the first four months of our relationship, he was. That’s who he showed me. That’s what, like, I thought. That’s who I fell in love with. I fell in love with this person that doesn’t exist.”
In the comments section of her post, Tran shared a message for LaPaglia. “Emphasis on blessing in disguise,” Tran wrote. “I’m sending you so much love and healing thoughts. How deeply and strongly we love is an absolute gift and the universe will bring us the right person. To anyone going through what Bri is going through or has been a victim of a similar situation: You are worthy. You are strong. You are lovable. And it is NOT your fault.”

While Tran did not say who she was referring to in her video, the former Bachelorette was last publicly linked to ex-fiancé Devin Strader. During the After the Final Rose episode in September, Tran alleged that Strader, 28, “regretted” the engagement and claimed he said he didn’t love her “anymore.”
LaPaglia, for her part, has been making headlines after her split from Bryan — who announced via social media in October that the pair had called it quits after more than a year of dating. LaPaglia claimed to be “blindsided” by the statement after they decided to keep their separation under wraps for a week.

The following month, LaPaglia returned to the “BFFs” podcast and made several accusations regarding the singer. (Bryan, for his part, has yet to address the claims.)
In the episode, LaPaglia claimed she was offered a “big lump sum” of money by Bryan’s team over three years to sign her “experiences” away. (Cohost Dave Portnoy later alleged that Lapaglia was offered $12 million.)
Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia made her return to the “BFFs” podcast following her public split from Zach Bryan — and dedicated the episode to “anyone else that’s been emotionally abused” in a relationship. “The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,” LaPaglia, 25, […]
“I did not accept any money, I will not accept any money,” LaPaglia said. “I think that’s beneath me, I think that is f—ed up.”
Despite being candid about her side of the story with Bryan, LaPaglia noted in the podcast that there’s “a lot” she’s not sharing.
“There’s a lot that he did that I’m not saying and it’s almost because, one, it’s so hard I don’t even want it out there and I don’t want to relive it,” LaPaglia said. “I genuinely just want this to rest.”
