AceShowbiz - Brianna Chickenfry recently addressed several rumors regarding her breakup with Zach Bryan, dispelling speculations about a $10 million payout from Dave Portnoy for an alleged tell-all interview. "Dave didn't give me any money," Brianna stated in a TikTok video. This clarification came after her appearance on the "BFFs" podcast, where she discussed her year-long relationship with Bryan and accused him of emotional abuse.
Brianna recounted the challenges she has faced post-breakup, saying, "I am losing money right now. I am paying for storage, I am paying for movers, I am paying for f**king flights back and forth to New York to go and try and find an apartment." She emphasized that her interview was not a tell-all but rather an effort to "set a scene" and "paint a picture."
Amid these revelations, Brianna shared that Zach's team had offered her $12 million, along with a New York City apartment, to sign a non-disclosure agreement and remain silent about their relationship and breakup. "I don't want blood money," she affirmed. "Offering millions of dollars to keep this apparent beautiful relationship a secret, speaks volumes."
Despite the life-changing sum, Brianna stood firm in her decision to reject the offer, stating that taking the money would be "f**ked up" and beneath her. "I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money," she reiterated. Brianna revealed that she engaged in a moral dilemma, seeking advice from friends and family, but ultimately decided she couldn't sleep at night if she took the money, especially after alleging that Bryan emotionally abused her.
In one particularly personal moment, Brianna divulged that Zach had been critical of her attire choices and even had issues with her singing a Morgan Wallen song. She noted her ongoing fear of him, which made her initially hesitant to speak publicly. "The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life," she confessed, adding that she is still scared to this day.
Brianna's candid narrative sheds light on a relationship marked by control and manipulation, contrasted by Zach's silence on the accusations. While Bryan announced their split on social media, leaving Brianna feeling "blindsided," she has now taken control of the narrative, providing insight into the complexities behind their breakup.
