Brianna Chickenfry blasts 'abusive' Zach Bryan and claims she is 'scared of him' after refusing to sign NDA
Brianna Chickenfry has slammed ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan as 'emotionally abusive' and revealed she refused to sign an NDA in the wake of their ugly break-up.
The Barstool Sports podcast host, 25, hit the headlines last month when her year-long relationship with the country music superstar, 28, came to an abrupt end.
Chickenfry - real name LaPaglia - quickly took to social media to claim she was blindsided by Bryan's social media announcement of the split, and her Barstool colleagues have since rallied around her.
A day after Dave Portnoy released a diss track about the singer defending his podcast co-host, Brianna herself has returned to the BFF show to drop some more bombshells about the ugly end to their relationship.
In a teaser clip for the episode which drops on Thursday night, she revealed: 'Me not taking the money [from a non-disclosure agreement] is not just for me, it's for anyone else that's been emotionally abused, it's for people right now that are being emotionally abused.

'It's for people that don't have a support system that I was lucky enough to have going through this. This last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life, dealing with the abuse from this dude.
'I'm still scared right now, I'm scared of him, my brain is rewired, I'm scared to make him mad. Last week I didn't want to talk about it because I was scared.'
Chickenfry then went on to claim that she turned down a payout from the singer to sign an NDA, alleging that previous girlfriends had been 'made' to go down that road.
'I said, "f*** your money", but you made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you, sign their experiences away, sign what they went through away,' she revealed.
'You get to go skip off and sing your little f***ing songs on stage like you're a good dude. I don't want in two years to buy a f***ing house and think, "oh this is the money from the dude that literally f***ing broke me and destroyed me for a year."
LaPaglia released a tearful video about the split last month, claiming she was 'blindsided'
In Bryan's 'blindsiding' post, he praised Brianna for loving him 'unconditionally'
'F*** that, f*** you, I don't want your money.'
The break-up saga took a bizarre turn on Wednesday when millionaire Barstool boss Portnoy released the diss track 'Smallest Man' with Josh Richards, which ripped Bryan over his hairline, height, a 2023 arrest as well as allegations of infidelity and sexually transmitted diseases.
However, Warner Music - Bryan's record label - hit back, having the video removed from all platforms over copyright issues.
Portnoy's attacks in the diss track included the allegation that Bryan's 'whole band' hates him, and a claim that Bryan has a problem with alcohol.

There was a verse about Bryan's 2023 arrest for allegedly interfering with a traffic stop. Not only did Portnoy and Richards shame the singer for being detained, but also included embarrassing police-recorded audio from Bryan's arrest.
Bryan and LaPaglia, began dating in the summer of 2023 but called it quits in October, with the Barstool host revealing that she was left 'blindsided' by the announcement from the 28-year-old country music star.
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Bryan has been struggling to cope with the 'emotional rollercoaster' he has been on since his mother Annette died in 2016.
Brianna said she was 'blindsided' as she addressed their split in an emotional video message to fans minutes after Zach announced the news in a lengthy Instagram statement.
