AceShowbiz - Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia is not interested in getting money from Zach Bryan. After being dumped by her then-boyfriend, the "Barstool Sports" podcast host revealed that she took down the country singer's offer of $12 million cash to keep quiet.
Recently, the 25-year-old podcaster discussed the matter with her Barstool Sports friends, including Dave Portnoy, in a new episode of the podcast. In the interview, Dave told their viewers, "Brianna was offered basically a pay out to sign an NDA to not talk about the break-up, things that happened ... on $12 million bucks."
Dave went on to say, "Turning down $12 million bucks is crazy." Brianna then recalled, "I sat on the back porch of the house that he bought for us to live next to my family and like to have a family. And I sat on the back porch with my aunt, we looked out at the water, we looked at this f**king 10 million dollar house and I'm like, 'For what?' "
Brianna explained, "I'm gonna have these millions to just have a backyard in the city and thank [him for that]? It was not about the money. I was with the dude because I loved the dude. Like everything glamorous, rich, f**king cool about him was the s**t that I hated about him, I hated being with him for."
Brianna further recounted, "I have all the texts and everything. The second we broke up, the second he posted that texts, I said, 'F**k you. I don't want that money and I don't want a settlement.' I don't know who he thinks I am but that's not me."
"And then it was a back-and-forth, a back-and-forth," she continued. "His team would call me, they gave me all these options. They gave me the starting low and they went up to 10 million and they went up to 12 million and they wanted to give me a house and they wanted to give me a New York apartment and they wanted to do all these things."
Brianna additionally stressed, "That was his last shot at controlling me and controlling my life with that money. And with him being able to walk away like, 'I did a good thing. I gave her all this money. Who cares about everything I did? She's gonna have cash in the bank.' "
Brianna pointed out, "You don't get to just s**t and dump people for year, give them millions of dollars and walk away like, 'Ah, I'm the hero. She's gonna be taking care of her life.' I'm gonna be taken care of ... regardless 'cause I'm me."
The podcast episode was published after Zach broke the news about his breakup from Brianna via Instagram Stories. Days later, she uploaded an emotional video, in which she revealed that his decision left her "completely blindsided."
