Brianna Chickenfry denies Dave Portnoy paid her $10M for a tell-all about Zach Bryan: ‘I’m losing money’
Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia shut down rumors that pal Dave Portnoy paid her $10 million for a tell-all interview about her ex Zach Bryan.
The Barstool Sports personality spoke out via TikTok Saturday after her bombshell interview, which saw her accusing the country crooner of emotional abuse, on her, Portnoy and Josh Richards’ “BFFs” podcast last week.
“Dave didn’t give me any money,” she said, before addressing claims that her interview was a “tell-all.” “You think that was a tell-all? I took the high road. What I did was set a scene [and] paint a picture.”
“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,” LaPaglia, 25, continued, referring to how she was forced to move out of Bryan’s home when they broke up last month.
On Thursday’s episode of “BFFs,” LaPaglia alleged that Bryan, 28, and his team offered her $12 million and a NYC apartment to sign a non-disclosure agreement and keep quiet about their year-long romance.
The internet personality explained she would’ve received “the money over the course of three years” in exchange for her silence and being closely monitored by the “Pink Skies” singer’s team.
“I don’t want blood money,” she said. “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.”
LaPaglia added, “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.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the influencer accused Bryan of emotional abuse, saying, “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,” she continued, explaining she was hesitant to publicly open up about their breakup.
“My brain’s rewired and I’m scared to make him mad. And last week, I didn’t want to talk about it ’cause I was scared,” she added.
LaPaglia alleged that the hitmaker also criticized her for the sheer gown she wore to the 2024 Golden Globes in January.
“He didn’t like my dress,” she said. “He said he didn’t want to date someone that presents themselves that way.”
LaPaglia further claimed Bryan “freaked the f–k out” when she sang a Morgan Wallen song in his home.
The “Something in the Orange” singer hasn’t spoken out about the allegations against him, though he posted a cryptic quote about “crying” and announced he “quit touring” over the weekend.
Amid the scandal, sources told Page Six that Bryan was known to be an “a–hole” among musicians.
In October, Bryan announced his split from LaPaglia via Instagram, with sources telling Page Six their relationship “was always rocky.”
