Brianna LaPaglia is opening up about her breakup with Zach Bryan.

The 25-year-old recently shared on her Barstool Sports podcast, BFFs, that Bryan allegedly offered her $12 million to sign an NDA after they parted ways.

“I was approached by his team and I was offered a lot of money—like, a big lump sum of money—and a few options," Brianna said at around the 1:35 minute mark. "Basically, I would have gotten the money over the course of three years. I would have had to sign all of my experiences, everything that I am away to this person."

LaPaglia also claimed that Bryan required his former partners to sign NDAs to prevent them from discussing their experiences with him publicly.

"It came down to the point of I'm not the people before, and I was someone before you, and 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," alleged LaPaglia.

While she considered it “for a second,” she soon realized that she was someone who was “established” and “successful” before their relationship, so she passed on the offer.

"I'm gonna be someone, I'm gonna be established, I'm gonna be successful after him," Brianna explained. "Maybe I'm not gonna be selling out stadiums and fucking making hundreds of millions of dollars—I'm alright where I'm at, and I don't want blood money."

She added that she doesn’t think it’s right to "pay people off that you hurt to for them to protect you. I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think that's beneath me. I think that's fucked up."

Bryan hasn’t responded to LaPaglia’s allegations. The 28-year-old singer announced their breakup on his Instagram Story in late October after one year of dating. “Brianna and me have broken up with eachother and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her,” he wrote, per E-News.

It appears LaPaglia wasn’t aware of their breakup. "I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up," she said in a YouTube video. "I had no idea that post was going up. He didn't text me, he didn't call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts being like, 'Are you OK?'"
