Zach Bryan offered Brianna Chickenfry $12 million to keep quiet about the breakup

Brianna “Kip” LaPaglia claimed that Zach Bryan offered her $12 million if she signed a non-disclosure agreement promising not to talk about their relationship or the breakup.

The internet personality made the bombshell revelation on Thursday’s episode of her podcast “BFFs” with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards.

During a solo segment of the episode, which was filmed last week, LaPaglia shared, “After everything was done, I was approached by (Bryan’s) team and offered a lot of money, a large sum of money and a few options. .”

LaPaglia, 25, claimed she received “the money over the course of three years” in exchange for not publicly discussing her “experiences” or “anything” she was with Bryan.

“They would be watching everything I do,” she said. “I thought about it for a while and I think they tend to forget, I started to forget, that I was someone, that I was established, that I was successful, before (Bryan).”

The Barstool Sports personality continued, “I’m going to be somebody, I’m going to be an established name (and) I’m (also) going to be successful after him.”

“Maybe I’m not going to sell out stadiums and make hundreds of millions of dollars,” she added, referring to the “Pink Skies” singer’s successful career.

‘I feel good where I am and I don’t want blood money. I don’t think you can pay off people you hurt (and expect) to protect you…offering millions of dollars to this seemingly beautiful relationship (and) keeping it a secret speaks volumes.

“I didn’t take any money. I don’t accept money. I think it’s beneath me. I think it’s screwed up,” LaPaglia continued.

Later in the episode, LaPaglia joined her podcast co-hosts to discuss the NDA during a segment filmed this week.

Portnoy said LaPaglia went “back and forth” on whether he would take the money, which he confirmed was a $12 million payout.

“That’s life-changing money,” said the Barstool Sports founder. “One hour she’d say, ‘I’m not taking it.’ F–k that. I won’t take it.’ The next hour (she said): ‘Too much money I have to take. How can I pass up $12 million?’”

Portnoy, 47, admitted that he had even considered advising LaPaglia to take the money.

“It was a moral battle,” LaPaglia interjected, explaining that she called “everyone” to see if they had “the answer” for her.

“From the beginning I was like… ‘F–k you, I don’t want your money,’ but then you look at my family, who obviously don’t have any money and come out of nowhere and they’re like, ‘Take the money.’ ”

LaPaglia said she ultimately knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if she took the money, especially after he allegedly emotionally abused her and she was afraid of him.

The podcaster claimed that Bryan’s team also offered her a house or apartment in New York City.
