Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia Reveals Zach Bryan Offered Her $12 Million to Stay Silent on Their Breakup
In a surprising revelation, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia shared on her “BFFs” podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards that country singer Zach Bryan offered her $12 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to keep quiet about their relationship and breakup.
During a solo segment recorded last week, LaPaglia explained, “After it was over, [Bryan’s] team approached me with a substantial offer. They proposed a large sum of money over three years, with a few different options, in exchange for my silence.”
The 25-year-old Barstool Sports personality noted that accepting the deal would mean strict monitoring of her activities and discussions about her “experiences” with Bryan. She considered it briefly but ultimately declined, stating, “I think they forgot that I was already established and successful before him—and I’ll continue to be successful after him.”
LaPaglia, known for her role at Barstool Sports, expressed that she didn’t want “blood money” and was uncomfortable with the idea of taking money to protect someone who had hurt her. She added, “Offering millions to keep what was supposedly a beautiful relationship a secret speaks volumes.”
Ultimately, she said, “I did not accept any money. I won’t accept any money. I think it’s beneath me, and it’s messed up.”
Later in the episode, her co-hosts joined in to discuss the NDA. Portnoy confirmed the $12 million offer and noted LaPaglia’s struggle with the decision. “It’s life-changing money,” Portnoy commented, explaining how she went back and forth on her choice.
LaPaglia admitted that while she initially rejected the idea outright, she wrestled with it, especially considering her family’s financial situation. “My family doesn’t come from money, so they wanted me to take it,” she explained. But in the end, she couldn’t accept, especially given her experiences during the relationship.
Additionally, LaPaglia claimed that Bryan’s team even offered to buy her a house or an apartment in New York City, an offer she also turned down.
