LaPaglia’s boss Dave Portnoy noted he “would have loved to be a fly on the wall for” the call between the two women. Co-host Josh Richards then joked he wished there was “a screen share.”
However, the 25-year-old stated, “That’s between me and Rose.”
The 47-year-old Barstool Sports founder replied, “Quite literally every single person from his past has basically in their own way confirmed everything, which says [a lot].”
Madden and Bryan were married from 2020 to 2021.
Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia revealed she spoke with Zach Bryan's ex-wife after their breakup.
LaPaglia previously spilled about her allegedly abusive relationship with Bryan on the podcast and even dished that his team offered her $12 million to stay quiet regarding the details of her romance with the Grammy-nominated star.
"After everything was done, I was approached by [Bryan’s] team and I was offered a lot of money, a big lump sum of money and a few options," she explained.
She admitted, "I thought about it for a second and I think they tend to forget, I started to forget, that I was someone, I was established, I was successful, before [Bryan]. I’m going to be someone, I’m going to be established [and] I’m going to be successful after him [too]."
The brunette beauty, who dated Bryan for about a year, added, "Maybe I’m not going to be selling out stadiums and f------ making hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm alright where I’m at and I don’t want blood money. I don’t think you can pay people off that you hurt [and expect] for them to protect you … offering millions of dollars to this apparent beautiful relationship [and] keep it a secret, speaks volumes."
She concluded: "I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think it’s beneath me. I think that it’s f----- up."
