Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia accused singer-songwriter Zach Bryan of emotional abuse, claiming he made previous partners sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to prevent them from speaking publicly about their experiences with him.

LaPaglia made the claims on the BFFs Podcast that she hosts on Thursday with fellow Barstool hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards.

“The last year of my life was the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this guy,” LaPaglia said during the recent episode, referring to Bryan. “My brain has been rewired and I’m afraid of making him angry, and last week,” she added. “I didn’t want to talk about it because I was scared.”

The news comes amid a social media frenzy surrounding LaPaglia’s public split from Bryan. On Wednesday, Richards and Portnoy released a diss track titled “Smallest Man,” aimed at the country singer. The song featured real audio from Bryan’s 2023 arrest in Oklahoma and referenced resurfaced tweets from Bryan’s critical pop star Taylor Swift.

“You made the women before me believe they had no choice but to take money from you,” LaPaglia further alleged. “(They) signed off on their experiences and what they went through (so) you can skip and sing little damn songs on stage like you’re a good guy.”

A representative for Bryan did not immediately respond Rolling stone‘s request for comment.

LaPaglia said her decision to speak out was “for everyone who has been emotionally abused and for people who are being emotionally abused now.” She also claimed that he asked her for twelve million dollars to sign a non-disclosure agreement. “It was never about the money,” she says. “I was with the guy because I loved him, everything glamorous or rich or damn cool about him was the shit I hated about him.”

“For anyone who doesn’t have a support system, I’m fortunate to have experienced this,” the podcaster continued. “This is not a drama for me, it’s not about the fact that I didn’t sign the NDA or didn’t take the money because I want to come here and show who he is and all that stuff. I don’t sign away my experiences and what I’ve been through to protect someone who hurt me, and I’m a lot stronger than a weak man, fuck you and fuck your money.
