Dave Portnoy, the boss of Barstool Sports, accused country singer Zach Bryan of kicking his rescue dog, Miss Peaches, out of a dressing room during a podcast with Bryan’s ex-girlfriend Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. Portnoy alleged that Bryan attempted to move the dog into a different locker room before his concert at Gillette Stadium in July, which angered Portnoy as he had brought snacks and merch for Miss Peaches and LaPaglia’s dog, Boston. The incident apparently took place on Boston’s birthday, and Portnoy had to keep walking back and forth between the dressing room and the concert to check on his dog.
LaPaglia, Bryan’s ex-girlfriend, claimed she had no idea that Miss Peaches had been kicked out of the dressing room and had asked Bryan for permission to bring her along. When Portnoy found Bryan moving Miss Peaches to a separate dressing room, he was upset and felt that it was a disrespectful move. Bryan posted a cryptic message on Instagram after the podcast, hinting at feeling overwhelmed by the need to explain himself to others in a world that constantly demands explanations for one’s actions.
After confirming their breakup, Bryan’s ex-girlfriend LaPaglia accused him of emotional abuse and shared details about their relationship during a podcast. She revealed that she had rejected a lucrative offer of $12 million and a new house from Bryan’s team in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement about their relationship and breakup. LaPaglia felt that accepting the money would have been like accepting “blood money” and did not want to stay silent about her experiences.
During the tell-all podcast episode, LaPaglia claimed that the past year had been extremely difficult for her due to the alleged abuse she faced from Bryan. She expressed fear of him and shared that she was approached by his team with a significant sum of money and other offers to remain silent about their relationship. However, she declined the offer as she did not believe in accepting money to protect someone who had hurt her and valued speaking out about her experiences over any financial compensation.
The podcast revealed the complexities of the relationship between Bryan and LaPaglia, with accusations of emotional abuse and manipulation surfacing in the aftermath of their breakup. LaPaglia’s decision to share her story publicly, despite the potential backlash or repercussions, highlighted her commitment to honesty and transparency about her experiences. The offer of money in exchange for silence underscored the power dynamics and attempts to control the narrative surrounding the relationship. Despite the lack of immediate comment from Bryan’s representatives, the podcast and subsequent revelations shed light on the challenges and dynamics within their past relationship.
