Zach Bryan issued a stern warning to concertgoers on Saturday, November 23, after one fan threw an object onstage.
Bryan, 28, stopped his Quittin’ Time Tour stop at the Tacoma Dome in Washington to address the crowd after an unidentified item hit his guitarist on the leg.
“Who threw this?” the country crooner asked as he picked up the object, per footage posted via social media. “Who was it? Does anyone know?”
Failing to identify the mischievous concertgoer, Bryan then offered a blanket warning: “Don’t throw s— at concerts, huh?”
“And if you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here,” the “Pink Skies” singer said before returning to the planned show. “If we ever find out who did it.”
Bryan has been in the headlines lately following his split from internet personality Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia late last month.
After the singer announced via Instagram he had separated from LaPaglia, 25, after one year of dating, LaPaglia said she was “blindsided” by his public announcement of their breakup. She went on to accuse the singer of being emotionally abusive during their relationship. (Us Weekly reached out to Bryan’s representatives for comment multiple times but did not hear back.)
“It’s not just for me, it’s for anyone else who’s been emotionally abused, it’s for anyone right now that’s been emotionally abused,” LaPaglia said on the “BFFs” podcast, which she hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, earlier this month. “It’s for people that don’t have a support system like I was lucky enough to have [while] going through this.”
“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life, dealing with the abuse from this dude,” she said. “I’m still scared of him, my brain’s rewired. I’m scared to make him mad. Last week I didn’t want to talk about it because I was scared.”
LaPaglia claimed that Bryan and his team offered her $12 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement forbidding her from speaking about their relationship. She said she refused.
“I still said f— your money. You made the women before me believe they had no other choice,” she said. “And to take money from you, sign their experiences away, sign what they went through away, You get to go skip off and sing your little f—ing songs on stage like you’re a good dude.”
“I don’t want in two years to buy a f—ing house and think ‘Oh, this is the money from the dude that literally f—ing destroyed me and broke me for a year,’” she added. “F— that, f— you, I don’t want your money.”
