Brianna LaPaglia claims ex-BF Zach Bryan offered her 'blood money' to stay silent about relationship

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a bombshell revelation, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia has claimed that her former boyfriend, country music star Zach Bryan, offered her a staggering $12 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and remain silent about their tumultuous breakup.

The shocking details were shared during Thursday's episode of the 'BFFs' podcast with co-hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, reported Page Six.

Zach Bryan allegedly offered Brianna LaPaglia $12M to keep quiet about breakup

LaPaglia, 25, opened up about the aftermath of her relationship with Bryan, explaining that his team approached her with a substantial financial offer. “After everything was done, I was approached by (Bryan’s) team and I was offered a lot of money, a big lump sum of money, and a few options,” she revealed.

The offer allegedly included a payment spread over three years in exchange for her silence on their relationship and breakup.

“They would’ve been monitoring everything that I do,” LaPaglia added. “I thought about it for a second and I think they tend to forget, I started to forget, that I was someone, I was established, I was successful, before (Bryan).”

LaPaglia went on to say, "I’m going to be someone, I’m going to be established (and) I’m going to be successful after him (too).”

“I’m alight where I’m at and I don’t want blood money. I don’t think you can pay people off that you hurt (and expect) for them to protect you … offering millions of dollars to this apparent beautiful relationship (and) keep it a secret, speaks volumes,” she said.

Despite the temptation of life-changing money, LaPaglia rejected the offer, stating that she didn’t want “blood money” and would not be silenced by financial gain.

“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."

The offer, which was reportedly made by Bryan’s team, prompted a moral battle for LaPaglia, who explained the back-and-forth emotions she felt about whether to accept the life-changing sum.

Portnoy, her co-host and Barstool Sports founder, detailed how LaPaglia was torn between her initial refusal and the temptation of financial security. “One hour she’d be like, ‘I’m not taking it. F**k that,’” Portnoy recalled. “The next hour (she’d say), ‘too much money, (I) have to take it. How can I pass up $12 million?’”

LaPaglia said she ultimately chose not to accept the money, citing the emotional abuse she allegedly endured during the relationship and her fears surrounding Bryan. She revealed that her family, who didn’t have much financial support, encouraged her to take the money, but she knew it would leave her with a guilty conscience.

“I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I took the money,” she confessed. LaPaglia also shared that Bryan’s team had offered to buy her a house or a New York City apartment, but she remained firm in her decision to walk away from the offer.
