Brianna Chickenfry says she is losing money, rejects rumors that Dave Portnoy paid her $10 million amid Zach Bryan drama
Brianna LaPaglia, aka Brianna Chickenfry, denied that her friend Dave Portnoy offered her a $10 million payout in exchange for a tell-all interview about her ex Zach Bryan. She shared a TikTok on Saturday, November 9, 2024, shutting down the rumors, saying:
"Dave didn't give me any money."
The Barstool Sports personality, who had accused Bryan of being emotionally abusive towards her, also noted that she's "losing money" after the split with the country singer. She reportedly had to move out of the singer's home after they split last month. She explained:
"I'm losing money right now. I'm paying for storage, I'm paying for movers, I'm paying for f**king flights back and forth to New York to go try and find an apartment."
Brianna Chickenfry also addressed the claims that her BFFs podcast interview last week was a "tell-all." She said:
"You think that was a tell-all? I took the high road. What I did was set a scene [and] paint a picture."
Zach Bryan previously announced that he and Brianna Chickenfry had split in an Instagram post on October 22. Shortly after the singer made his breakup announcement, the Barstool Sports personality hopped on her Instagram Story saying that she was "feeling really blindsided" by her ex's post.
In a subsequent YouTube video, Brianna Chickenfry addressed the breakup, saying that her ex didn't contact her about announcing the split to the public.
Brianna Chickenfry claimed that Zach Bryan offered her a $12 million hush money
While Brianna Chickenfry denied that she received $10 million from Dave Portnoy, she claimed that Zach Bryan and his team did offer her $12 million to not disclose details of their year-long relationship after the split. During the November 8 episode of the BFFs podcast, she opened up about the "hush money" she would have received "over the course of three years" plus an apartment in NYC.
However, she said that she didn't want any of it, stating:
"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."
Brianna Chickenfry added that she didn't accept any money and would not accept any monetary payment. She said that doing so is "beneath" her and that "it's f**ked up." Elsewhere during the interview, the Barstool Sports personality also made huge allegations against her ex. She accused Bryan of emotional abuse, which made her scared of him. She said:
"The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life. I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him."
Being scared of her ex is also the reason why she's hesitant to talk about their relationship, saying that her "brain's rewired" and part of her is "scared to make him mad."
Amongst the many things that Brianna Chickenfry claimed about his ex in the interview, one was Bryan allegedly freaking out when she sang a Morgan Wallen song in his home. She claimed that the Something in the Orange singer went berserk on her for singing another man's song in the house that he owns and that the fight ended up lasting about a week.
Zach Bryan has yet to comment on his ex-girlfriend's allegations against him.
