Brianna LaPaglia Slams Zach Bryan Again Over $12 Million NDA

The media personality, who previously shared that she was offered $12 Million attached with a condition that she signs a non-disclosure agreement, spills more on what her life would have been if she accepted the terms.

Brianna LaPaglia has been vocal about the downsides of her relationship with Zach Bryan, which lasted for almost a year. She previously noted that the mishaps in her relationship with men may steer her towards having a taste of the other side.

LaPaglia sat down with the hosts on a recent episode of  “Impaulsive,” where she spilled the tea on the non-disclosure agreement she was presented with after her split from Bryan. She told Logan Paul and Mike Majlak that the agreement would have prohibited her from being on social media.

Explaining further, she said that she would not have the liberty of posting on the internet, doing her job, or speaking about her ex unless it was in a positive light.

She vehemently insisted that, contrary to popular opinion, even if she could go back and take the money, she would not, as that would put her life under surveillance. “It was out of the question. It was so controlling,” the podcaster added.

LaPaglia also noted that the “insane” offer included “all of Barstool [Sports],” also covering and controlling her then-“BFFs” podcast co-hosts, Josh Richards and Dave Portnoy’s activities.

She further shared that the contract, which was supposed to span for five years before the $12 million was completely paid, will demand regular check-ins with her ex’s manager.

This revelation prompted one of the hosts to interject and state that said manager would have been “like a probation officer.”

Continuing the conversation, LaPaglia shared that Bryan often made fun of her career as a podcast host, calling it embarrassing. In her words, “He hated everything to do with podcasting… he thinks it’s like the worst thing ever.”

After she disclosed the details of the agreement, Paul could not come to terms with the fact that Bryan wanted that amount of control over her even after their relationship had ended. He said:

“I am failing to understand why he wanted that level of control over you post-relationship,” to which she immediately responded, “because he is a psychopath, a narcissist, and a very scary person.”

The 26-year-old stated that she wanted that chapter of her life to be over, adding that she shared her story publicly for herself and other girls who are probably going through a similar situation. Paul and Majlak applauded her stance to reject the multi-million dollar deal, tagging it a noble act.

Shortly after their breakup in 2024, LaPaglia went public with the details of their split on her podcast, where she announced that she was offered a large sum of money to stay completely silent about her experiences with the singer.

LaPaglia’s co-host, Dave Portnoy, noted she went back and forth over accepting the deal before she ultimately decided that she did not want the “blood money.” The Blast shared that she admitted that it was a moral battle for her at the time, considering the financial and economic status of her family. 

Furthermore, she disclosed that another thing that sealed the deal on her decision was her experience with Bryan emotionally abusing her. She claimed that taking the money would have cost her peace of mind, as she would lose sleep in fear of what emotional abuse tactic he would resort to.

After her messy breakup with the “Pink Skies” singer, LaPaglia got candid about the possibilities of her dating life taking a turn. She shared her intentions of testing the waters in same-sex relationships.

The Blast reported that her preference in the dating pool was already tilting towards women, owing to the way things turned out with men in the past. She also revealed that it would not be a first for her because she had engaged in same sex dating before.

“I think that they’re better, so maybe I really am fully a lesbian, so maybe that’s why none of my relationships with men have worked out,” the podcaster told her co-host Josh Richards. However, LaPaglia noted that at the time, she was content with remaining single and enjoying life on her own.

The estranged lovers first met in May 2023 at the Academy of Country Music Awards. A month later, they shared the stage during Bryan’s concert at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City. By July of the same year, they confirmed the status of their romantic relationship.

The duo had their red carpet debut at the 2024 Grammys, where Bryan bagged his first Grammy, stepping out together hand in hand as they made points to highlight their love for each other publicly.

The content creator was head over heels for Bryans and had no issues admitting it. She often voiced her feelings on her podcast and showed great support for her then-boyfriend’s music career.

As shared by The Blast, the former lovebirds celebrated their first anniversary together in July 2024 with sweet social media posts, and three months later, the relationship hit rock bottom. Bryan announced the split online in October.
