She also claimed to have been "blindsided" by Brya. In his post, Bryan questioned the behavior of his detractors. "Everyone wonders why I quit touring and feel disconnected from music," he wrote. "Meanwhile, you’re calling my friends ugly and harassing them?"
Refuting rumors about his personal life, Bryan added, "Apparently, I’ve had four girlfriends in two weeks, but in reality, my friends and I are just laughing and hanging out like always. I don’t have a girlfriend right now and don’t plan on it, but I’m entitled to enjoy love and good company in my life."
The "Something in the Orange" artist also addressed the personal toll of ongoing negativity. "No matter how bad of a person you think I am, aim your criticism at me, not at my friends. They’ve done nothing but support and care for me," he declared.
Bryan defended his achievements, stating, "I’ve worked incredibly hard for the life I have, whether you believe I deserve it or not. Stop being sad, angry internet sleuths attacking people you’ve never met."
Although Bryan did not directly respond to LaPaglia’s claims, including accusations that his team offered her $12 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement about their relationship, he dismissed the online speculation as baseless. "I’m completely unbothered by the fake things said about me online," he remarked.
The singer concluded his message with a firm stance against harassment. "Targeting the people I love and care about crosses the line. This is my final straw," he wrote. "I’ve said my piece. My head’s held high, and I’ll keep moving forward."
