Brianna Chickenfry Refutes $10 Million Podcast Deal with Zach Bryan

Brianna Chickenfry Sets Record Straight on $10 Million Claim for Zach Bryan Podcast

In a recent turn of events, podcaster Brianna Chickenfry LaPaglia has publicly refuted rumors suggesting that Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy paid her $10 million to divulge details about her breakup with country singer Zach Bryan on the “BFFs” podcast. During a heated episode, LaPaglia, 25, made serious allegations against Bryan, including claims of emotional abuse, and revealed that he had offered her $12 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

In a TikTok video shared on November 9, Brianna addressed the rampant speculation, stating, “I see a lot of people saying, ‘Well, Dave definitely gave her 10 million dollars to do a tell-all, so she took money anyway.’ That’s not true; Dave didn’t give me any money.” She expressed frustration that her comments were misinterpreted as merely a sensational tell-all, insisting instead, “What I did was set a scene, paint a picture… If you can’t see that very clear picture, I don’t have time to hold your hand.”

LaPaglia used her platform to dedicate the episode to “anyone else who’s been emotionally abused” in a relationship. Reflecting on her challenging past year, she opened up about the fallout from her breakup with Bryan, 28. “I’m losing money right now. I’m paying for storage. I’m paying for movers. I’m shelling out cash for flights back and forth to New York to find a new apartment,” she explained after their split in October.

Bryan had previously confirmed their breakup, sharing via Instagram that while he respects and loves LaPaglia, it was best for them to part ways, citing personal struggles throughout the year. LaPaglia admitted that Bryan’s decision to go public caught her off guard and left her feeling blindsided.

Tensions between Portnoy and Bryan have been high, with Portnoy revealing the depth of their conflict during the podcast. “He hates my guts,” he remarked about the singer, illustrating the complex dynamics surrounding the fallout of this relationship.

In the November 7 episode of the “BFFs” podcast, LaPaglia reiterated her experience of emotional abuse during her time with Bryan. She described feeling ongoing fear and anxiety from their relationship, stating, “I’m still scared of him, my brain’s rewired. I’m scared to make him mad.”

Finally, addressing the alleged offer of money for silence, she declared, “I still said forget your money. You made the women before me believe they had no choice.” Brianna’s candid revelations have sparked discussions about the challenges faced in abusive relationships, echoing her plea for understanding and support from those who may have experienced similar situations.

As the story unfolds, fans and followers continue to pay close attention to both LaPaglia’s journey and the unfolding drama with Bryan.
