Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia has no regrets after allegedly refusing to sign an NDA from her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan.

Months after accusing the country music star, 28, of emotional abuse and claiming that he offered $12 million along with a house in New York apartment to "not talk about the relationship," LaPaglia, 25, told TMZ she has no regrets about refusing his alleged offer.

"No, no, no, no, that's like devil's money," LaPaglia told the outlet while speaking to them outside of LAX on Tuesday, Feb. 25. "I don't want someone else's money."

After the interviewer told her the amount she was allegedly offered was "a lot of devil money," she said, "Yeah, I know. But that's okay. I'll make my own money. Twelve million is kind of excessive. What am I gonna do with that?"

While the BFFs Podcast co-host told TMZ that she wished more people would slide into her DMs, she admitted that there is "no way" she is open to dating right now, as she is "too busy." However, LaPaglia said she will "never" date a musician again and hopes her next future partner is "nice."

The influencer first confirmed she and Bryan were dating in an episode of her podcastPlanBri Uncut, in July 2023.

Over a year later, in October 2024, Bryan shocked fans by announcing their split in an Instagram Stories post.

"Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with [each other] and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I'll always thank her," Bryan wrote.

In his statement, he expressed that he "had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things" and asked for fans to respect his and LaPaglia's privacy.

LaPaglia later said she was "really blindsided" by the split and took a brief break from social media.
