Zach Bryan’s ex has claimed the singer offered her $12 million (£9.3 million) to stay silent on their relationship after their break-up.
The country music star’s former girlfriend, Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia is calling the offer “blood money” to prevent her from making public statements about his abusive behaviour,
The internet personality made the revelation on an episode of her BFFs podcast.
“After everything was done, I was approached by his team and I was offered a lot of money, a big lump sum of money and a few options.
“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,” LaPaglia continued.
“The last year has been the hardest of my life, dealing with the abuse from this dude,” she said, referring to Bryan.
“I’m still scared right now because I’m scared of him,” she continued. “My brain’s rewired and I’m scared to make him mad.”
Speaking about the alleged abuse, she said that it was a constant cycle of “build you up, beat you down, apologise over and over”.
Bryan and LaPaglia met at the ACM Awards in May 2023. They started dating in July 2023. The Something in the Orange singer confirmed their breakup in a post on his Instagram Stories in October.
