The âI Remember Everythingâ hitmaker also showed remorse in a video message on his Instagram Story as he apologized for getting âlippyâ with the cops.
âI was an idiot today,â he said. âMy decisions did not reflect who I was as a person. I just want to make that clear. I shouldâve been smarter about it.â

The development in Bryanâs case comes just a week after his ex-girlfriend Brianna âChickenfryâ LaPaglia accused him of emotional abuse and screaming at her friends during their former romance.
She also alleged he forced his exes to sign NDAs and tried to coerce her into signing one, which she refused.
âYou made the women before me believe that they had no other choice but to take money from you,â she claimed on the âBFFsâ podcast last Thursday.

â[They] signed their experiences and what they went through away [so] you get to go skip off and sing your little fâking songs onstage like youâre a good dude.â
LaPaglia claimed Bryan offered her $12 million to stay silent about their relationship.
This week, she claimed she has more stories about Bryan she could share but has decided to keep quiet to not ruin his reputation.
