Zach Bryan’s Ex Brianna LaPaglia Makes Big Splash With Breakup Hush Money Claims

Zach Bryan's amicable split claims continue to fall apart as his ex Brianna LaPaglia accuses him of emotional abuse and an NDA deal.

The Barstool Sports personality recently dropped bombshell claims against her former lover on her "BFFs" podcast. She opened up about their breakup and how the singer's team allegedly tried to buy her silence.

Brianna LaPaglia has been far from quiet about her tumultuous split from Zach Bryan, even teasing a diss track called the "Smallest Man." The entertainer seemed to be on the same feud page, alleging blocking his ex-girlfriend and her podcast co-stars.

The shocking new details about LaPaglia and Bryan's relationship broke on the podcast's YouTube page. During a solo segment of Thursday's episode, the internet personality revealed:

"After everything was done, I was approached by [Bryan's] team, and I was offered a lot of money, a big lump sum of money, and a few options."

LaPaglia claimed she would have received "the money over the course of three years" while staying silent about her "experiences" and "everything" she had with Bryan. She noted his team would have been monitoring her movements and all she did.

"I thought about it for a second, and I think they tend to forget, I started to forget, that I was someone, I was established, I was successful, before [Bryan]," she said, declaring:

"I'm going to be someone, I'm going to be established [and] I'm going to be successful after him [too]. Maybe I'm not going to be selling out stadiums and f–king making hundreds of millions of dollars."

LaPaglia doubled down on being fine without Bryan's money, saying: "I'm alright where I'm at, and 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] keeping it a secret speaks volumes. 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," she added.

LaPaglia's co-host, Dave Portnoy, revealed Bryan had offered her $12 million to stay quiet about their relationship. The Barstool Sports founder noted she went back and forth over accepting the deal, sharing:

"That's life-changing money. One hour, she'd be like, 'I'm not taking it. F–k that. I'm not taking it.' The next hour [she'd say], 'too much money, [I] have to take it. How can I pass up $12 million?'"

LaPaglia stressed that it wasn't easy avoiding the allure of the $12 million NDA deal. She confessed it was a "moral battle," and even Portnoy considered advising her to take the money.

"From the get-go, I was like … 'f— you, I don't want your money,' but then you look at my family, who obviously doesn't have money and comes from nothing, and they're like, 'take the money,'" LaPaglia explained.

Ultimately, she could not take the money because of another bombshell allegation. LaPaglia claimed she would never be able to sleep if she accepted the deal because Bryan emotionally abused her, and she feared him.

Earlier this week, LaPaglia revealed her ex had blocked her on Instagram after teasing a diss track about him. The Blast shared that her podcast's account dropped the cover art from the song "Smallest Man," featuring an interrogation scene.

Two detectives faced a suspect seated at the table with his back to the camera. The man appeared to reference Bryan; a point one fan did not miss and called out the podcast hosts for failing to tag him.

"Y'all aren't even brave enough to tag him in the picture," the individual claimed in the comments. However, LaPaglia clapped back that it was impossible to tag her ex, declaring, "We r all blocked."

Bryan announced his separation from LaPaglia in an Instagram post, claiming the challenging year and his personal struggles had influenced their breakup. He implied they parted ways amicably, but his ex shared a different narrative.

LaPaglia dropped a YouTube video of herself crying on the bathroom floor while claiming to be blindsided by the split. "I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up, and I had no idea that post was going up," she said.

"Do you see the swelling on my face? I've been crying for like five days straight," she added. LaPaglia wondered what went wrong in her relationship with Bryan, noting she loved him unconditionally through his good and bad days.
