Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia accused Zach Bryan of emotional abuse after their breakup, but the country star remained silent.

"I believe the silence following his response was deafening, and it further confirmed his character," she stated on the "BFFs" podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. "It just proved everything I said."

She stated that she was frustrated with his lack of response and asserted that she "took the high road" by not revealing the full truth about their relationship.

"If he doesn't respond, I'll assume he's not denying it. If he denies it, I'll post all the evidence. That should be enough."

"I think the response itself, the silence, is deafening. I think his response proves his character again." — Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia

"I gave him a bone, hoping he would examine it, take some time to reflect, and stop putting women in the same situations he does. My intention was not to harm him, but rather to encourage him to change his behavior."

After accusing the 28-year-old country star of emotional abuse during their relationship, she made comments, also stating that he offered her $12 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

During the "BFFs" podcast last week, LaPaglia stated that this episode was not just about him, but also for anyone who has been emotionally abused, those currently being abused, and those without a support system, like him, who went through it.

The last year of my life has been the hardest, as I've had to cope with the abuse from this person. Despite my fear, I'm still scared of him, and my brain has been rewired. I'm afraid of making him angry.

In the podcast, Portnoy stated that the offer was worth $12 million, which he considered as "life-changing money."

She mentioned that in addition to the $12 million increase, his team also offered her a house or a New York apartment.

After Bryan announced their breakup, LaPaglia accused him of letting people down and making the announcement without prior warning.
