LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent episode of the 'BFFs' podcast, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia opened up about her tumultuous relationship with country star Zach Bryan, alleging emotional abuse and recounting his violent outburst during her birthday celebration.

LaPaglia, a popular Barstool Sports host, recounted that the incident occurred when she, Bryan, and a group of close friends and family gathered at a rental house in New Hampshire.

According to LaPaglia, Bryan began “throwing jabs” at her friends around the fire, calling them “idiots” and dismissing them as “losers.”

“He stood up at the fire and just started screaming at my friends, ‘You’re not going to be anything, you’re a f**king loser,’ like just the most horrible s**t. ‘You’re never going to make it,’ like ‘you live off other people,'” she recalled in a jaw-dropping episode of the 'BFFs' podcast on Thursday.

“Just crazy out of nowhere. I’m like, ‘what the f**k’ but when Zach’s in this zone, there’s no containing it,” LaPaglia said.

Disturbed by his behavior, LaPaglia tried to diffuse the situation by retreating to her bedroom, hoping he’d follow and calm down. Instead, she claimed she woke up later to the sound of her friends crying, and her aunt trying to calm Bryan down.

On her podcast, she shared, “It’s, like, all of my girlfriends crying and I’m like, ‘What the f**k happened?'”

LaPaglia said that after witnessing Bryan’s outburst, she took him upstairs where he smashed some glass. “It was just awful,” she reflected, adding that her ex-boyfriend then began recording her, creating a recording of the night he lost control that can never be released.

Brianna LaPaglia has revealed shocking details about her breakup with country star Zach Bryan, claiming that his team offered her a massive financial settlement in exchange for her silence about their relationship.

In a candid episode of the 'BFFs' podcast, LaPaglia, 25, explained that she was approached with a $12 million offer, which included a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to keep quiet about their split after being together for a year.



 

LaPaglia described how the offer from Bryan's team promised her a lump sum payment spread over three years in return for her silence. However, she firmly rejected the deal, calling it “blood money” and stating that she would not be silenced for financial gain.

LaPaglia explained the emotional turmoil she experienced during the decision-making process. "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," she said, adding that her family, who lacked financial support, had urged her to take the offer.

However, LaPaglia emphasized that she didn’t want to compromise her integrity and couldn't live with the guilt of accepting money in exchange for her silence.
