He went on to sing Bryan’s song “f-ked up” and told him to “go post it on your Instagram Story,” an apparent reference to the “Heading South” singer posting breakup news on social media before telling LaPaglia that he would do so.
Portnoy also joined in on the reference to Bryan’s appearance, saying: “Itty Bitty Zac, s-tty s-tty s-tty/ugly facial tattoo, there’s no cure for that.”
Bryan first shared the news of their breakup on Instagram on October 22, writing in his stories: “I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our separate ways. I’m not perfect and never will be.”
He added: “Please respect Brianna’s privacy and her space in this, and if you have that in your heart, so do I. With all that I am and anyone I’ve let down, I’m sorry. I do my best at everything. I’m sorry.” Failed people who love me and mostly myself.”
Shortly after posting it, LaPaglia shared how she was coping.
“I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram account that we broke up.” She said in her YouTube video at the time. “How can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be thrown away in a few days? I wanted to heal in private and I didn’t even know it was going to be published.”
She thanked fans for their messages of support, noting that “it’s going to be okay.”
“I’ll be fine,” she said. “Obviously I’m really hurting right now. I wanted to be hurt for a week and lay in bed, and I didn’t want it to be public.”
