Zach Bryan‘s ex-girlfriend Deb Peifer is setting boundaries with her followers after his public breakup with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.
On Thursday, Oct. 24, Deb took to TikTok to address comments that she had been seeing on her social media pages.
“I just want to be clear on the fact that I don’t find any gratification in other people hurting, specifically other women hurting,” Deb, who dated Zach from 2022 to 2023, told followers. “I feel like I’ve seen some comments on my personal social media pages alluding to the fact that I do — and I don’t.”
She continued, “So I just wanted to make sure that was clear. I think that emotions are so nuanced and so complicated, but I don’t feel better because other people are hurting in capacity. I don’t think you should either, but that’s your journey.”

Deb and Zach announced their breakup in May 2023, a month before he started dating Brianna. At the time, he announced the split on X “for transparency and with respect,” writing that he and Deb ended their relationship about a week and a half prior.
“Things are mutual between us, we’re leaving with plenty [of] memories and good times,” he wrote. “I beg so much that everyone respects her and my privacy through a hard time.”
Similarly, Zach confirmed his breakup with Brianna after over a year of dating the influencer on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
“Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” he wrote at the time. “I am not perfect and never will be. Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.”
Following Zach’s breakup confirmation, Brianna posted a statement of her own on her Instagram Stories, as well as a YouTube video where she addressed feeling “blindsided” by her ex’s post.
“Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything’s always gonna be OK.”
“I’m probably not gonna post this for a little while, but I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up and I had no idea that post was going up,” she said in the video, while sitting on her bathroom floor. “He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me.”
