LaPaglia, 25, claimed she would receive “the money for three years” in exchange for not publicly discussing her “experiences” or “everything” with Bryan.

“They were watching everything I did,” he said. “I thought about that for a moment, and I think they tend to forget, and I started to forget, that I was (Bryan) someone before, that I was established, that I was successful.”

“I’m going to be somebody, I’m going to improve myself (and) then I’m going to be successful,” the Barstool Sports personality continued.

“Maybe I won’t sell out stadiums and make hundreds of millions of dollars,” he added, referencing the “Pink Skies” singer’s successful career.

“I’m fine where I am and I don’t want blood money. “I don’t think you can (and expect) to pay the people you hurt to protect you…offering millions of dollars for this seemingly beautiful relationship (and) keeping it a secret says a lot.”

“I didn’t accept any money. I won’t accept any money. I think I’m beneath me. I think the whole thing sucks,” LaPaglia continued.

Later in the episode, LaPaglia joined the podcast co-hosts to discuss the NDA during an episode filmed this week.

Portnoy shared that LaPaglia went “back and forth” on whether to take the money and confirmed it was a $12 million payment.

“This is life-changing money,” the Barstool Sports founder said. “An hour later he would say, ‘I’m not buying it.’ Damn it. ‘I’m not buying this.’ The next hour (he was saying), ‘Too much money, (I) have to take it. “How could I miss $12 million?”

Portnoy, 47, admitted that he even considered advising LaPaglia to take the money.

“I don’t think you can pay people for hurting them (and expect them to protect you),” he continued. briannalapaglia/Instagram

“This was a moral battle,” LaPaglia interjected, explaining that he called “everyone” to see if they had “an answer” for him.

“From the very beginning I was like… ‘Damn it, I don’t want your money,’ but then you look at my family and they have no money and they’re coming from nothing and they’re like, ‘Take the money.’”

LaPaglia said she knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if he took the money, especially after he allegedly emotionally abused her and she was afraid of him.

The podcast claimed that Bryan’s team also offered to buy him a house or an apartment in New York City.
