I think we've all heard way more than we wanted to about the breakup between country star Zach Bryan  and Brianna LaPaglia, AKA Brianna Chickenfry. Brianna has aired out a lot of it through her podcast BFF's on Barstool Sports, but Zach has been pretty much radio silent in terms of his side of the story, other than sharing one post on his Instagram stories when they broke up at the end of last year stating that the relationship was over. Since then, fans online, especially over on TikTok, have been speculating that Zach might have a new girlfriend, after seeing him post with different girls (friends of his) over the last couple weeks. For some reason, people are really enamored with his dating life, and he let "internet sleuths" have it over on his Instagram stories today. He shared a series of posts calling them out for "harassing" his friends, saying that they are bullying them and even going so far as to send them death threats: "Also, all you f*****n' weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you're assuming I have a girlfriend are weird as hell and should be studied for science. Everyone wonders why I quit touring and don't want to be attached to music anymore, meanwhile you're calling my friends ugly and harassing them? I'm not asking for sympathy but going for my -friends- is so low and so messed up? Apparently I've had four different girlfriends in like two weeks, meanwhile my friends and me are just laughing and hanging out like we always have. I don't have a girlfriend and don't plan on having a girlfriend, however I do have normal friends that I love very much and would go to the ends of the Earth for. Go give your time and attention to the literal city burning down and stop being so sad and fickle and childish through the screens. Last thing I'll say on his. Insane I even have to. You do not know me. You never will know me. Stop acting like you do." And that's just the start of it... He followed it up by saying that he loses "faith in humanity" every single day because of what he sees online, and he reiterated that he wants his friends to be life alone. Zach says it's getting harder for him to make music because of how much of a spotlight it has put on his personal life: "I am allowed to have love, laughter and good people in my life. No matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me. I can take all the hatred because I am not a child. But do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me. Everyone wants you to have fun and make great music, but you guys are making it really hard to do that with my friends getting insulted and death threats every day. Every day, I lose a little more faith in humanity and every day I get closer to never being in the public's eye ever again which is incredibly sad because I truly do really love humans and being happy and joking around and laughing a lot." He continued, saying he's worked hard in life, but says people online need to "stop being such sad and fat fingered internet sleuths" to his friends: "I love my life. I have worked REALLY hard for it. Whether you think I deserve it or not. Whether you think I suck or not. Stop being such sad and fat fingered internet sleuths to my friends. We're all humans and I'm so tired of people thinking social media is a way to have moral high ground on people THEY'VE never met? Guess people aren't humans anymore since they can hide behind screens? Weird a**holes man. Okay I'm done." I get the frustration in a lot of ways, but damn... he really didn't hold back: Zach followed it up by asking people to stop giving him advice on anything because of what he's been through in terms of losing his mom and being in war zones (he was formerly in the Navy for seven years): "Ahh, one more thing: I don't need people telling me to hang in there, sympathizing with me, or giving me advice on how to handle something or things they've never coped with. I lost my mother, I've been in war zones, and I've battled this whole fame thing for five years. Respectfully, I don't need your unsolicited advice. I am a grown man. I promise I can get through some little bullies on the internet hahaha." I do sympathize with all of that, I really do because people shouldn't be dragging his friends into it who probably want nothing to do with the fame aspect, but explaining all of it to random people online who clearly do not care already is probably not going to do anything... The next story was more simple in its message: "I am so terrifyingly unfazed by the fake sh*t people say about me online but coming for people I love and care for is my line and my final straw. Okay have a good day everyone, love you, miss you." He ended it by saying he's "hopping off for a bit," though last I checked there was a new Instagram story posted that was unrelated to all of these other messages: "I've said what I need to say. My chest is still out and heads are still held high. Hopping off for a bit. Seeee ya." Zach deactivating his social media is nothing new, but it sounds like a great idea for him to probably take an extended break from it and not interact online at all. It's not for everyone, and a lot of artists don't even touch their own social media, especially someone at Zach's level, for this very reason. I'm sure people looking at everything you do under a microscope is annoying at best, and fame certainly isn't for everyone, so hopefully Zach can take a step back and reevaluate his career and the way he handles all aspects of it going forward because clearly it's not working for him right now.

President-elect Donald Trump and the former president Barack Obama were seen engaging in a rare friendly conversation Thursday at the funeral of the former President Jimmy Carter. The two men, whose political careers have often seen them sharply opposed, were filmed talking and exchanging chuckles before the beginning of the ceremony. Trump also shook hands with Mike Pence in what is being reported as the first time the men have seen each other since January 2021, after the events of January 6 caused a rift between Trump and his former vice president. The former president George W. Bush was also in attendance, along with a host of other political and social notables, including president Joe Biden, who delivered the eulogy. All four of the currently living presidents attended the funeral for Carter, who was the longest-lived president of the United States. After serving as the 39th president from 1977 to 1981, Carter passed away on December 29, 2024 at the age of 100.
