    Zach Bryan has taken aim at "weird couch warriors" who have been sending his friends death threats online

    The 28-year-old country music star lashed out at those who have been posting nasty messages about his pals over false rumours suggesting he's found love again following his split from Brianna LaPaglia - and Zach is adamant the trolls need to stop the hate.


    In a series of messages posted on Instagram, he wrote: "All you f****** weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you're assuming I have a girlfriend are weird as hell and should be studied for science ...

    "Everyone wonders why I quit touring and don't want to be attached to music anymore, meanwhile you're calling my friends ugly and harassing them?

    "I'm not asking for sympathy but going for my friends is so low and messed up ..."

    He went on to dismiss rumours suggesting he's dating again following the breakdown of his relationship with Brianna, 25, who he split from in October after a year together.

    Zach added: "Apparently I've had four girlfriends in like two weeks, meanwhile my friends and me are just laughing and hanging out like we always have.

    "I don't have a girlfriend and don't plan on having a girlfriend, however I do have normal friends that I love very much and would go to the ends of the earth for."

    The musician went on to insist the trolls should pay more attention to the news because the wildfires currently raging in California are more important than his relationship status.

    He wrote: "Go give your attention and time to the literal city burning down and stop being so sad and fickle and childish through screens.

    "Last thing I'll ever say on this. Insane I even have to ... You don't know me. You will never know me. Stop acting like you do."

    In another post, Zach revealed how serious the trolling had become, adding: "I am allowed to have love, laughter, and good people in my life ... No matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me ... But do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me ...

    "Everyone wants you to have fun and make great music but you guys are making it really hard to do that with my friends getting insulted and death threats every day ... "
