Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia Accuses Ex-Boyfriend Zach Bryan of Emotional Abuse and Refuses $12 Million NDA

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, an internet star and ex-girlfriend of famous country singer-songwriter Zach Bryan, has openly accused him of emotional abuse, which has caused a lot of talk in the music business. LaPaglia said on her show, BFFs, that she turned down a large financial settlement and refused to sign Bryan’s team’s non-disclosure agreement (NDA), instead choosing to talk about what happened.

Allegations of Emotional Abuse

Brianna LaPaglia went into more depth about her claims of emotional abuse, describing how he controlled her and tried to get her to do what he wanted throughout their relationship. She talked about Bryan’s actions on social media and podcasts as going in cycles, from angry rants and mean behavior to apologizing and promising to change.

“Your father would always praise you, then put you down, and then say sorry,” she said, adding that she was afraid to speak out or tell him how she felt for fear of making him angry. It got worse for her, and she said she is still “scared” of Bryan even though they aren’t together anymore.

Refusal to Sign an NDA

Following the breakup, Brianna LaPaglia claims Bryan’s team offered her $12 million over three years in exchange for her silence about their relationship. She stated that the financial settlement came with conditions that included ongoing monitoring of her public statements and relinquishing her ability to discuss her experiences. Brianna LaPaglia said no to the offer because she didn’t want “blood money” connected to a relationship that hurt her.

It was important to her that her success and personality were not tied to her relationship with him. “I’m someone who was established before him,” she said. Even though the money would have changed her life, she finally said no, saying it was “below” her to take money to protect someone who she said hurt her.

Response and Support from the Public

Different people have had different reactions to LaPaglia’s claims. Many people have said they back her, but some have questioned her motives, saying she might be doing it to get attention or money. As LaPaglia has said many times, her goal is not to make money off of the situation but to bring attention to mental abuse.

She said she hoped that telling her story would help other people who have been through similar problems and may not have had the support she did during a hard time.

Impact on Zach Bryan’s Career

According to the claims, Zach Bryan‘s songs and public image have been closely looked at since the accusations. Some streaming platforms have removed his songs, and the singer has faced backlash from fans and industry peers alike.

Bryan, who had previously announced their breakup on Instagram, described LaPaglia as someone he “respects and loves” and asked for privacy. Even so, LaPaglia said that Bryan had blocked her and her co-hosts on social media after she spoke out.

LaPaglia’s Motivation and Message

Brianna LaPaglia said on her BFFs show that she turned down the NDA and spoke out in public not because she wanted to expose Bryan, but because she wanted to tell the truth and give others strength. “It’s for anyone who’s been emotionally abused,” she said, telling people who may not have anyone to turn to for help that they are not alone.

LaPaglia said that Bryan’s past girlfriends were said to have signed non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), which made their stories public. Then she made up her mind: “I’m not going to sign away my experiences to protect someone who hurt me.”

Conclusion

Brianna LaPaglia’s claims and refusal to keep quiet have started important talks about emotional abuse and NDAs that are used to hide such experiences. The fact that she didn’t take the money shows that she is determined to tell the truth, no matter what the emotional or financial consequences might be. Zach Bryan’s job may be affected in a number of ways, but LaPaglia’s bravery has started a conversation that may help others in similar situations.
