Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia is expressing her gratitude to fans following a revealing tell-all about her past relationship with country singer Zach Bryan.
In case you missed it, the 25-year-old podcaster discussed her rocky breakup with Zach in a Nov. 7 episode of the “BFFs” podcast, where she also shared that she declined a $12 million offer to keep quiet.
“I knew I was making the right decision,” she posted on her Instagram Stories after the episode aired. “And I believe not going all out and not telling everything was the right decision too. You get the picture.”
The “PlanBri Uncut” host shared how moved she was by the outpouring of support from listeners after opening up about her story.
“Your messages have made me sob,” Brianna wrote. “I can’t believe how many women and men have experienced the same abuse. You have me, I’ll be a voice for you all always. If I can stand up to someone in power you can stand up to the bum from your hometown.”
“This is all two weeks out so I’m still processing everything I went through. I’ll continued to process and heal with you all! I love you I love you I love you,” she said, before adding, “Morals > $12 Million.”
For context, Brianna and Zach dated for over a year before he announced their split on Oct. 22 via Instagram Stories. Brianna later shared that she felt “completely blindsided” by his post.
After their breakup, “BFFs” hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards released a diss track called “Smallest Man” aimed at Zach, though it has since been taken down. In the latest podcast episode, the hosts gave further insight into Brianna’s relationship with the “28” singer, with claims of manipulation, isolation from friends and family, and emotional abuse directed at Bryan.
Additionally, Brianna revealed that Zach’s team allegedly approached her with a non-disclosure agreement and offered a payout that eventually reached $12 million to keep her experiences private.
In a solo segment filmed the prior week, Brianna recalled, “After everything was done, I was approached by [Zach’s] team and I was offered a lot of money, a big lump sum of money and a few options.”
She explained that the offer involved “the money over the course of three years” if she agreed not to disclose her “experiences” or “everything” she was to Zach.
“I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think it’s beneath me. I think that it’s f–ked up,” Brianna concluded, with Dave later confirming that the “lump sum” was approximately $12 million.
