Brianna LaPaglia, also known as Brianna Chickenfry, said on the Barstool Sports-owned “BFFs Podcast” she co-hosts with Barstool owner Dave Portnoy she turned down the NDA because she didn’t want “money from the dude who literally f*cking destroyed me and broke me for a year,” alleging Bryan also asked previous girlfriends to sign NDAs.
LaPaglia said the year she dated Bryan, before they announced their breakup on Oct. 22, was the hardest of her life and she is “scared of him still, my brain’s rewired.”
She alleged various instances of what she called emotional abuse, at one point holding up her phone and stating he had smashed it against a wall, causing it to crack.
