Brianna Alleges Emotional Abuse
Brianna has alleged that her relationship with Zach was emotionally abusive.
“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life,” she told Dave and Josh on the Nov. 7 episode of BFFs. “Dealing with the abuse from this dude—I’m still scared right now.”
The 25-year-old said her brain had been “rewired” from being afraid to make her ex mad.
“He made me believe everything was my fault,” Brianna continued. “He isolated me from my whole entire life. He wouldn’t let me be who I wanted to be. He made me hate everything that I loved about myself.”
Zach had “love bombed her,” she said, and she ignored multiple red flags.
After four relatively smooth months, she said, he broke her down so that she felt “like he was all I had left, and he just kept repeatedly beating me down and beating me down.”
Brianna also alleged during the episode that Zach’s team offered her $12 million to sign an NDA and stay silent about their relationship.
While she didn’t want money that reminded her of her ex, Brianna said she didn’t decline just to be free to air their secrets either.
Rather, Brianna said, “I’m not signing away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone that hurt me.”
E! News reached out to Zach for comment but has not heard back.
After they recorded, Dave wrote on X, “I know people have lots of strong opinions on Bri but after tonight’s episode there can’t be anybody who doesn’t respect the s–t out of her.”
