LOS ANGELES – BFFs Podcast co-host Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia has made explosive claims about her ex-boyfriend, country singer Zach Bryan, alleging that he once offered her $12.9 million to “sign away” her voice following their highly publicized breakup.
The 26-year-old influencer opened up about the relationship while appearing on the reality series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, explaining that her difficult year inspired her to join the show. “I’m doing the course because I’ve had a really tough year,” Brianna said. “I was in a very public relationship. It ended really badly. I don’t really know exactly who I am, and it will teach me a lot about myself.”

Brianna shared that during the relationship, she felt restricted and silenced, saying she “wasn’t allowed to be” herself. “Over the past couple years, I wasn’t allowed to be me. From what I’ve experienced, I think women get steamrolled a lot, and they get put in corners. I used to be very strong. I don’t want to give anyone power over me,” she explained.
Reflecting on their romance, Brianna revealed that the two first met through Instagram DMs and that their connection escalated quickly. “It was a very fast-moving relationship where I should have seen a lot of red flags, but I was blinded by a lot of things,” she told fellow contestants. She went on to describe the Pink Skies hitmaker as “awful” toward her. “My ex is a super musician. He was awful towards me … He got famous on TikTok and thinks he’s God,” Brianna said.

The most shocking revelation came when she claimed that Zach offered her $12.9 million to silence her after their breakup in October 2024. “He offered me $12.9 million to sign away my voice,” she stated. “The people that followed me through this relationship watched me turn into just like a shell of a human. I just couldn’t let someone control how I feel and how I act anymore. In me not taking that money, I took control of myself back.” The couple’s split in late 2024 made headlines, with Brianna later accusing Zach of emotional abuse. Neither Zach Bryan nor his representatives have commented publicly on her recent remarks.
