“Fun fact my biggest celeb crush tried to slide a few months ago but of course I denied bc I had a bf and I was getting cheated on the whole time hahhahahahahah,” LaPaglia captioned thevideo, in which she rapped along to Cardi B’s “Be Careful.”

Responding to another follower, LaPaglia alluded to her ex-boyfriend presenting her with an engagement ring, writing: “Been finding out he was cheating the whole time lol. The week he showed me my engagement ring he was DMing girls hahahahha.”

On a Nov. 13 episode ofBFFs, LaPaglia said that “the response itself, the silence, is deafening” and alleged that Bryan’s “response proves his character again.”

Bryan confirmed their breakup on Oct. 22 via his Instagram Stories, calling it an “incredibly hard year personally” in which he “struggled through some pretty severe things.”

“I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways,” 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. With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.”
