Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia accused ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan of “emotional abuse” and offering her hush money after their breakup. The “BFFs” podcast’s co-host opened up in Thursday’s episode, claiming she rejected a $12 million NDA that would keep her from revealing details about their relationship. The podcaster claimed she refused the money as it was “beneath” her and broke down detailing the alleged harsh experiences she endured throughout their relationship.
The first segment of the “BFFs” podcast’s latest episode is Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s monologue about her breakup. The 25-year-old claimed she and Bryan had a “breakup conversation” over text when they decided to take a week to process things before going public. However, she learned that Zach Bryan was on Raya that same day. Not long after, he went public with the breakup news on his Instagram Stories despite their discussion that “moving forward was going to be like a mutual thing.”

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia stated, “I don’t want your money bro,” while opening up about the million-dollar NDA that Zach Bryan offered her after their breakup. In the second segment of the “BFFs” podcast’s latest episode, co-host Dave Portnoy revealed LaPaglia’s ex-boyfriend offered her an NDA payout of $12 million to keep details surrounding their breakup a secret. Portnoy also shared how she went through a week-long back-and-forth about whether to take the huge sum of money.
Later in the episode, LaPaglia revealed she ultimately refused Bryan’s NDA money after their breakup. The podcaster explained that her decision to refuse the money wasn’t just for her but also for others suffering from emotional abuse. “It’s for people right now that are being emotionally abused,” she said. LaPaglia continued and stated how her decision was also for people who “don’t have a support system that I was luckily enough to have going through this.”
While accusing Zach Bryan of “emotional abuse,” Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia added that she experienced the “hardest year of my life.” She said she is “scared of him still.” LaPaglia then dropped another shocking allegation that Bryan made his exes sign NDAs. However, she noted that she is not one of them and that she doesn’t want his money. Third co-host Josh Richards was also present during the latest episode of the podcast.
The former couple first met at the Academy of Country Music Awards in May 2023 and got into a relationship a few months later. Bryan, a country music star, first announced his and LaPaglia’s breakup on October 22 via a statement on his Instagram Story. LaPaglia also revealed in the podcast that Bryan announced their split against her wishes.
