Okay, guys. So the beginning of this episode may be a little confusing, so let me explain it for you. We recorded this episode last week, and we didn't put it out, but I gave an explanation video in the beginning for the boys. And I think for everyone to understand, we're going to replay that video, and then it's going to cut back to this week's episode where we talk about everything.

Hey, guys. I've tried to record this so many times. I sat down for five hours in the podcast room trying to record it. I haven't slept yet. I guess let's just get into it. And if I do cry, I'm embarrassed, too. I didn't want to do any of this yet. I just wanted to deal with my breakup privately, but that was robbed from me. So here we are. So pretty much after all set, everything was done, I was approached by his team and I was offered a lot of money, a big lump sum of money and a few options. Basically, I would have gotten the money over the course of three years. I would have had to sign all of my experiences, everything that I am, away to this person. They would have been monitoring everything that I do. At the end of the three years, I'll receive that big lump sum of money throughout the years. 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 him. I'm going to be I'm going to be established.

I'm going to be successful after him. Maybe I'm not going to be selling out stadiums and fucking making hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm all right where I'm at, and I don't want blood money, and I don't think you can pay people off that you hurt for them to protect you. I think that in itself, offering millions of of dollars to this apparent beautiful relationship to keep it a secret speaks volumes. Yeah, honestly, that's all I'm going to say on that. I did not accept any money. I will not accept any money. I think that's beneath me. I think that is fucked up. I am not previous people. I am me, and I will not I will not just... Great guy. I don't want to nitpick everything he's ever done. I don't want to talk about all of the bad shit and get into details. I want to talk about the ending I also want to blame myself a lot for this because half the reason this all happened to me is because I let it. I think this is why it's so important for me, and I think other girls and women that experience the same thing.

It's like, I kept showing up when I shouldn't have, and I kept loving and giving when I should enough. And that comes down to like, that's a me problem. And I think a lot of people do that. If you're not getting the love that you're giving, You have to walk away. I genuinely think that this is such a blessing because who fucking knows how long I would have stayed and how long I would have dealt with this shit and just been a doormat to someone with this big crazy life that just seemingly cannot take accountability for the way he treated me. I think this is a learning moment. I think this is a lesson learned, and I learned a lot about myself in this relationship. So I guess let's just get into the ending of our relationship. I went through this two times. So I obviously went on tour with him, and I gave up myself to do that. And like I said, willingly. We talked about it a lot, and it was a sacrifice for our future. And it was one year we could do it. It would be over. And I was just willing to sacrifice for someone that I loved.

I didn't think that it would end like this, obviously. Throughout that, it came a point where I had to plan my tour, the tours that I've been doing for years. I started planning it, and we planned it according to his tour schedule. It was planned where I could be at everything of his, and he had a two-month break. I could go on my tour, and we could just relax and take a break because the year was very grueling on, obviously him, but me too. I'm living on a bus and traveling every single day, and I'm not with anyone that I know. It was really lonely. I was going to get off his tour of the year, get off the bus, and I had a couple of days, and I'm going to go on tour. He drove me to New York City and dropped me off. It was abrupt. It was like, he just got in his car and left. I'm like, I'm not dishing you. I'm going to come on your tour in a couple of days. I'll see you like, I love you. That felt a little weird. I was like, What the hell?

I knew he wasn't coming. And that's okay because we talked about it and It was basically that he had just had the hardest year of his life. He just wants to sit still. He wants to be here in Massachusetts, be at home, and just be quiet. I'm like, You know what? That makes total sense. I'll go on my tour. I'm excited. I'm so excited to get back to me and do what I was doing. It will be nice to have this time off away from each other where I'm back doing my thing and he can just relax, recollect himself, and get ready to go on the last leg of his tour. I set off on tour, and him and I are fine, and we're talking every day, obviously. I'm thriving. I'm so happy. I'm back on my element. It's all over social media, obviously. I'm posting about it. I'm so excited. I'm back with my friends. I'm doing me, and it's very evident that I'm happy. All of a sudden, there's this shift with him where he suddenly goes to New York City and throws a pop-up show and stops answering me and just completely is just 180 from, Babe, I can't make your tour because I really want to just be home and be here and be present and relax.

Okay, I'm not going to come to your tour, but I'm going to go have a pop-up show in New York City. I'm going to stay out all night for all these days and not answer you. And then I'm going to text you when you're on your biggest tour that you've done and say, Actually, I can't do this anymore out of nowhere. Well, I'm in Seattle. I'm across the country. I'm like, Halfway. It's hard to even look back on because I'm halfway through my tour, and it's fucking awesome. Obviously, every day, I'm wishing he was there, how I showed up for him. But I respected that he just wanted to be home because I understood that he had a hard year. But then he just went out and went crazy and through parties and Then tells me he can't do this anymore with me because he needed me during these two weeks that we had planned for me to be on my tour. He needed me there, but we had planned this according to his schedule so that I could go live my life. And I, sidebar, I just, I genuinely think he just needs someone that can be that, that can just be the girl.

And no one should ever just be the girl. I was so close to just being the girl. But I'm on tour and I'm like, holy shit, I forgot who I am and what I built and all of these fans that are here and all these shows. I'm still touring the fucking West Coast. I'm flying all over, and I'm doing so well. I'm so happy. I'm finally feeling like myself again. I just get the, I can't do this anymore. I need you. It was like, What? Where is this coming from? Why are you breaking up with me when I'm across the country on my tour? And what the fuck? I'm on my tour and my tour documentary is You can slowly watch the light fade from my fucking eyes. It's really sad to watch, but you would have never known that. You would have never known that. No one there knew that because I put them first and that tour first. And I wasn't going to let, wasn't going to let for a second him take that away from me or my team or my friends. And I have three more shows or two more shows left, and I'm a mess.

I can't even talk. I'm just in my hotel room like, What the fuck? Do I fly back? Do I try to talk to him? What is happening? It was just so out of nowhere. For why? I don't know. Had that thrown on me while I was on tour was awful. I got through it. I got through the tour, barely, and I flew home, and I'm like, No way this is happening. I'm going to go home and it's going to be like, No, this isn't what's happening. I get home from three weeks on the road of nonstop travel, and it's pretty much like, Hey, it's time to move out. I'm What? Can we talk about this? Not even that I want to figure it out. Can we have a conversation about what's happening? Because I'm fucking lost, bro. I am like, are we on two different planets right now? Did we not just buy... Did we not just build a life together in where I grew up? Did we not just talk about constantly every day getting married and kids? Did we not make video diaries for our children every day? I go away for two weeks to give myself a little bit of something, and I come home and it's, pack your bags.

I was gutded. Like gutded. I Drove back to Boston the next morning and still getting nothing. It's just like I've accepted it. I had to cancel Surviving Barstool because I had to look for a place to live, and I had to, I don't know, try to comprehend everything that was going on. I don't think a reality show would have been the best for me, which sucks because I really wanted to do that. I was really excited for that. I feel like there were so many things that I really wanted to do. I was excited for, and I was made to hate so many things about myself that I once loved. I just started to just do everything with him in the back of my mind. I don't think that's how any relationship should ever be. Of course, you You think about your significant other, but you shouldn't think about, is this going to upset them or is this going to cause a fight when it's things that shouldn't upset people? I drove home and I came to terms with it, and I just surrounded myself with friends and family and fucking cried to them. I think three Three or four days went by and I got a call from him.

It was all a mistake. I need you right now. He's going through his own shit. He's like, I need you. I need you to come back. I'll come to you. I'm sorry. I foolishly was like, Okay, Okay, I'll fucking come back. I'm embarrassed of that. But like I said, when you love somebody, right? But that's also why I say this is partially my fault because I let myself be treated that way. I don't know why. I don't know why. I just was in this crazy cycle with this guy. I came back and he still never apologized for what he did to me. I kept asking. He'd be like, I'm going to apologize. I just can't do it right now. He never did. He never apologized for doing what he did to me when I was on tour and then sending me home. And then there's nothing from it. I guess I'm staying with him to hopefully get some closure. And then we went in to Boston for my live show, and a lot of horrible shit happened that night. I don't want to get into details right now. I don't know if I ever want to get into details, but a lot of horrible shit happened that night.

The next day, it ended with us wanting to work through it, me willing to work through it and forgiving, and him telling me, I can't lose you. I need you. And me being like, Okay, all right. All right, let's do this. We can get through this. And then the next morning, we wake up and I'm getting a cold shoulder.

I'm like, What the fuck is going on?

It was always so hot and cold. I didn't know what version I was going to get ever. It's just cold shoulder. He's like, I'm going back to Oklahoma. I'm like, Okay, I've been telling you to go back to Oklahoma all year. I want to go back to Oklahoma, too. I miss it. He goes back to Oklahoma, and I don't know where we stand at this point because he won't give me anything. I'm asking, Are we okay? What's going on? And he's just like, I need to go back to Oklahoma. I'm like, Okay, cool. But us? And he's just like, I'm going back. I'm like, Okay. I ask, I ask. I go, Can I have a hug before you go? This seems like it's going to be the last time we're going to see each other. And he goes, You're being so fucking dramatic. Didn't give me a hug. Okay. So that's the last time I saw him. I knew that was going to be the last time I saw him. He went to Oklahoma, and I still never... I Never had a breakup conversation. I never had a phone call about what's going on. I've just had argumentative words, and we didn't have to sit down.

All I wanted was a goodbye. I'm well aware people break up and things happen, but people break up and things happen in a normal way. This just was like, discard, leave, bye. Me cry. I talked to him about it a lot. We finally, I guess, had our breakup conversation over text. It was the same day that he made his raya. That day, we have our talk, and we talk about how moving forward publicly is going to be on me and on my terms and when I want to say it. I was like, I just need... Just give me a week so that I can deal with this before I have to deal with it online in front of everyone. I get a bunch of DM's that night of like, Girl, your man's on Raya. I'm like, What? So I'm like, What the fuck? Obviously, it's like, Dude, you are the guy right now. You are so famous. Everyone is going to immediately post that. Do you not have any remorse or regard that you claim to for my feelings when you know we You broke up that day, you make a raya? Obviously, it's going to be the first thing online.

Obviously, one, that's humiliating, two, that's hurtful, three, it's like, What the fuck? I don't think you need Raya. I think you need therapy. It's fucking beyond me that he did that. When I called him, Zack, really? You make a dating profile? You know what he says to me? I didn't make a dating profile. I reactivated it. I'm like, Okay, if one plus one equals two, it's the same thing. So that was like, okay, whatever. I hung up and I was like, I just think we need a week. We can talk about this in a week. And I went off social media and I wake up to all of these texts and calls, all crazy. I thought something terrible had happened. And I I wake up to his Instagram post when we had talked about moving forward was going to be a mutual thing. He posted the Instagram story of our breakup because he got caught on ride up. To say in the Instagram post, I'm not perfect and all this shit, and then post a truck, the big fucking truck after? That cracked me up. I was like, What is this? What is my life?

What the fuck? The truck after the breakup, black Instagram screen. So I'm like, What the fuck do I do? I didn't even get to tell my mom, my dad, my sisters, my cousins, my best friends, everyone in my life found out about my breakup from his Instagram story because we had broken up the night before. All that gets posted, whatever. I post my YouTube video. I'm crying on my bathroom floor in the house that we moved in together and planned on having kids in. He's on Raya. At that point, it's like, All right, it is what it is. I'm not going to get a goodbye from him. I'm not going to get a talk from him or with him. All I got was his reaching out to me about settlements. And I got him reaching out to me only when Dave talked about him online. There was no communication other than, what are you going to say about me? You don't have that power over me anymore. I defended you countless times online. I had your back always, but you decided to get rid the person in your corner. Thank God. Thank God. I can't wait to move forward and heal from this and just be a voice for women that go through the same things because it's unfair.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't want your money, bro. Bye.

Okay, BFF's, Brianna, Chicken Fried Breakup Part Two.

Part Two.

Part Two. So I don't know where we'll go with it. I guess I'll set the stage. So we missed last week's recording. We did record. We did. It was like a Brianna, Chicken Fried, tell all, asking questions, going back and forth. That episode obviously did not air. In the course of that week, Brianna was offered, and I'm trying to think the best way to lay out this whole thing, we'll get into all the subjects we did before, but a lot changed from the last episode. Brianna was offered basically a payout to sign an NDA to not talk about the breakup, things that happened. It was a constant over the last week of back and forth, I think, in Brianna's mind, should I take the money? And it's a shit ton. 12 million bucks is what it ended up being, offering $12 million. So that is life-changing money. And I think for the better half of the week, if you talk to Bri, and obviously, I'll let Bri say this in our words, one hour, she'd be like, I'm not taking it. Fuck that. I'm not taking it. The next hour, too much money. Have to take it.

How can I pass up to a million? What happens? My career, I don't know. People have turned on me since this relationship. It's been a stall work, my career. And I was going back and forth with her a lot. And even I was flip flopping. I know.

It was a moral battle. And I kept calling Dave. Well, I kept calling everyone because I'm like, no one has the answer to this. I'm like, what the fuck do I do? And of course, from the get go, from the beginning, from last week's episode, I was like, fuck you. I don't want your money. But then I look at my family who obviously doesn't have money and comes from nothing. And they're like, take the money, take the money. And I'm like, I feel so stupid if I don't take this money. And like you said, the career thing. But then I'm not going to be able to sleep at night if I take this dude's money. And we'll get into why I didn't take the money. But yeah, it was a back and forth.

And I was the same as... I was like, Take the money. I can't- Well, me and Dave even texted and it was like, We can't tell Bri not to.

Obviously, we want to go to war, but we can't tell Bri not to take this money. This is huge.

Josh and I made the diss track after we recorded. Nothing from Bri. No information in the diss track that we made was from Bri. It's all readily available, already out there stuff. So it really would have nothing. This was them. Yes, correct. Nothing to do with her. Again, I was going back and forth because my perspective, and I don't want to toot my own horn, and this is the Bre show and Josh's Horn, we were going to eat that diss track for a while. I just thought we were going to make it. We spent all day doing it. I'm like, This is just never going to see the light of day. Again, I didn't want to, and I still didn't. I think the last conversation I had with Bre, I was like, You know what? I don't think you should take it. I think this sends a message. You're like, What you're about. And money is money. You've never been about money. But I also don't want to be the person to be like, Don't take it because in three years, you turned down 12 million or whatever it is. I don't want to be in that spot.

So I understood it was a very personal decision that only Bre could make. Right up till, what was it, the election day? I thought we were done. And I guess, can I say, now we haven't really planned. This is a free-form thing. My plan at the end of the year was to be done with BFFs. Just because I'm getting older, like nearing 50, talking about teenage drama, a little out of my wheelhouse. So we've known this for months, and we're like, what's the best way to announce it, end it? This part came up and complicated the whole thing a little bit because we recorded the podcast, didn't air it. The one thing got me, I can't know shit. I just know it and not say it. So it's like, Well, I can't go back on the pod. I support Bre's decision. I think I've been... So it was a really murky situation. I thought that's how this was ending. I thought I was going to get on and be like, Hey, I respect their decision. We're not going to talk about this act thing, but I can't be on it anymore because I have to talk about it if we're going to do it.

And then I woke up the next morning and it's like, Fuck the money we're going.

Going to war.

Yeah.

That was the That's the most exciting text I've gotten in the last year, I think. I mean, I was on my flight going to Milan, and when I leave for my flight, I called Bri and the last combo I had with Bri was like, it was in the same direction you were talking about, Dave, where it's like the pod is going to have to come to an end. How can we do this and not talk about it? That wouldn't be us doing our due diligence to the fans and the people that have supported this show for three years, right?

And I think, Bri, you probably thought about that, right? Because we are a gossip podcast, and it's obviously different. Josh has gone through it extreme in the beginning. Nothing like what Bre is because Zack's such a huge star. Me, a tiny bit, but nothing like this. So it's a personal decision. Josh and I certainly can't tell Bre what to do or how to think or what decision, but it's really hard to go along with this part and pretend this didn't happen.

Yeah. Well, this episode is going to be really hard for me, and that's why I've put it off for so long because, of course, the diss track was silly and it was funny, and that is what it is. But it's so much deeper than that. And this episode isn't... I honestly feel like I might cry, so this might get awkward. But especially in Minnehan Studio. I know. It's like, What the fuck am I? This is crazy. Game time.

This episode of me not taking the money, it's not just for me. It's for anyone else that's been emotionally abused. It's for people right now that are being emotionally abused. It's for people that don't have a support system that I was luckily enough to have going through this. And the last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude. And even on last week's episode, I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him still. My brain's rewired. I'm scared to make him mad. And last week, I I didn't want to talk about it because I was scared. So I was like, Yeah, we can just talk about this stuff that's public. And I still said, Fuck your money. But it came down to the point of I'm not the people before, and I was someone before you, and you made the women before me believe that they had no other choice than to take money from you, sign their experiences away, sign what they went through away. You get to go skip off and sing your little fucking songs on stage like you're a good dude.

You get to treat people around you like, Shit, sorry, I'm not them. I don't want your money. I don't want in two years to buy a fucking house and think, Oh, this is the money from the dude that literally fucking destroyed me and broke me for a year. Fuck that. Fuck you. I don't want your money. And this isn't me getting on the... This isn't like a drama thing for me. This isn't me not signing the NDA or not taking the money because I want to get on here and expose who he is and his secrets and all that shit. I didn't sign the NDA. I didn't take the money because I'm not signing away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone that hurt me. And I'm a lot stronger than a weak man. And I'm not, fuck you, fuck your money. Fuck you. That's where I'm at. And that's why I didn't take the money. It didn't have anything to do with the podcast or with anything. I literally for the last... It feels like it's been months, but I don't know when this, maybe two weeks. I have been so back and forth because the second it happened, the second it happened, I told his team, I have all the text and everything.

The second we broke up, the second he posted that text, I said, Fuck you. I don't want your money. I don't want a settlement. I don't know who you think I am, but that's not me. And then it was a back and forth, a back and forth. His team would call me. They gave me all these options. They gave me... They started low. Then they went up to 10 million. Then they went up to 12 million. Then they wanted to give me house. Then they wanted to give me a New York apartment. Then they wanted to do all these things to make me... I mean, that in itself, $12 million to not talk about this relationship that you posted on Instagram that was so beautiful and you had so much love for me. What the fuck are you hiding, dude? What are you scared of? And also everything that's already on the Internet is enough. But I mean, I went through literal narcissistic emotional abuse for a year, and he made me believe everything was my fault. He isolated me for my whole entire life. He wouldn't let me be who I wanted to be.

He made me hate everything that I loved about myself. He broke me down and then made me feel like he was all I had left. And he just kept repeatedly beating me down and beating me down, even to the point of yesterday or when I gave you guys the call, when I'm finally standing up for myself and being like, no, fuck you. I don't want to sign this. It's my fault. I'm the bad guy. You guys are idiots. Barstool is the worst. What I do is diminishing- Did he call us idiots? I think he was a dicker.

He sent me a text. He's called us all a retard. He hates my guts. I ended up more in the middle of this than I was anticipating.

Which is funny because I texted Dave and was like, You want to do the Desk track on Zack? And then now Dave is the one that Zack is like, What the fuck?

Well, yeah. Because I feel like I I have pretty good life experience through Barca, whatever, older. I was trying to act as, I guess, Bre's friend and legal advice when I don't have any real legal advice. But I was knowing what was going on in the negotiations to a degree. And it was going back and forth in the money. We'll get you. But at one point, Austin sent me a text. I wasn't involved at any point on this, but it was something to the effect.

You guys kept being brought into it for some reason. I'm like, this is between me and Zack. You guys kept being brought into it. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? And honestly, their team is fucking stupid because if I didn't have enough time to take myself out of the situation and really think about this, I would have fucking signed that NDA. But they stalled and they fucked up because I could have been stupid.

It It was going super slow, like the back and forth. And when we thought Bre was going to take the money, I'm like, Get the money in your account. I don't care about legal shit. They told her at one point, they can't wire five million bucks or something. I was like, Bre, I can fucking wire you five million bucks in 10 minutes. That's bullshit. They're lying. So I'm behind the scenes. At some point, and we talked when Josh and I dissedracted, they're like, They're going to try to push this to the election. They're going to delay, delay, delay because getting the news cycle. But Austin sent me a text. Josh and I were not involved in this. We really hadn't revealed very little.

Nothing. I was talking to them and my lawyers. That's it. I was playing always like I always did by their rules, by their playbook. I was trying to make Zack happy.

So Austin sends me a text. They're trying to squeeze Bre because of Josh and you, right? Was it that you what you pretty much said, Austin? Yeah, basically, they were saying that they were going to squeeze Bre in order to stop you guys from saying anything or releasing the diss track. They're like, We can't get to you, so we'll get to you through Bre. They found out about the diss track that Josh and I made because of some weird connection between Warner Music or something, an engineer. Regardless, I think anyone who knows me pretty well, like Bre can make her own decisions. I'm not going to have someone tell me. I have to shut up. I don't even know anything. I knew that was a bomb when I sent that to you.

I was like, You guys fucking idiots. Also, I would call Dave and talk about this, not even about what really was going on. Just be like, This is a decision I need to make. Is it money or what? What should I do? But Dave didn't know anything. And I tried to explain to them, it's Dave Portnoy. This is his shtick. This is his thing. If you try to attack him, everything is going to get worse. And they just tried to pin Dave on me. And I'm like, What the fuck is going on?

Yeah, it was a weird strategy for them to think Poking the Bear was going to come out positively for them. I keep going back to who the fuck is running this guy's shit because they need to be gone. Not that I want to give Zack advice on his life, but get rid of whoever's running your shit.

I had some words with his manager.

After Austin sent me that, it must have been Thursday at 4:32 PM. Because at 4:33, I don't even know how you had... I got the lawyer's number.

Who gave me the lawyer? How did you have that?

Chris, I I can read the text. It's funny. I have it. You have what you said. Chris must have given it.

How did Chris- Chris tell it?

Yeah, so Chris gave it. I don't know how Chris had the lawyer's number.

Because Chris is my manager, so my manager, my lawyer, they were working together.

So at 4:32, Austin tells me they're trying to squeeze Bre because of Josh and Dave. We have nothing to do with it at this point. A minute later, I sent this to the lawyer. Hey, this is Dave Portnoy. I don't know who the fuck you think you are dealing with. I've been nice so far. Pay Bre ASAP. I'm coming for Zack's throat. Bre won't have a say in it anymore. Josh won't have a say. I can pay Bre myself. I've tried to stay out of it, but stop all caps fucking around. Pay her or shut the fuck up. I'm losing patience. So I sent that to the lawyer.

I was like, What the fuck?

Yeah, I just pulled off.

It's like, enough of this lawyer talk. I know you can fucking pay. They tried to turn around and say, I'm distorting Zack. They're like, That's It's a crime. Somebody tell me, it's so insane. It's like, You guys are trying to silence Bre. You're offering her an NDA with all this money, and she's like, At one point, I'm ready to sign. Get me the paperwork. You won't do it. You're just dilly dallying, changing the rules, changing the playing field. Now, Josh and I are involved. It's like, either fucking pay it or it's fucking game on. And they tried to say, We're distorting him. I've never heard that. We're distorting him. You are trying to to be quiet with an NDA. It's insane.

You would think NDA was in his DNA or something.

Yeah, it's a great line. It's a great line. All that- Shut up, Ron. That's the... Shit, your Roan wrote most of my lyrics. And the thing's great. And by the way, also, we'll get into the brief stuff. The diss track, which we may win a Grammy for, Josh. People are fucking loving it.

Bro, we knew it was a hit. Come on, we knew it was a hit. The second we laid it down, we knew it was a hit.

It is basically off all platforms right now because Zack and Warner Music Group are doing takedowns, DMCA.

Yeah, we got Cry Baby Brian and the spineless PR team running around, deleting shit off the internet. And guess what? It's still getting millions of views. It's still getting tens of millions of views through Twitter or X, TikTok, everywhere.

It's insane. The strategy, the crisis management. We think it's because of that last, it's the only thing we can think. How lucky is brave? Maybe that's copyright. So I'm just going to cut that last sentence, put it back up. But I quite literally have access to 10,000 accounts, our Barstool. So that's great. Their crisis management, why he cares so much is, I guess, what we'll get into now with you, Bre. We talked about a little, but for somebody to pay 12 million bucks, that to me indicates there's more than just image. Everything said controlling, things like that.

Well, there's a pattern now developing, quite a pattern developing. I will say, Bri, you were talking about it earlier. Hats off to you. Respect for you. You are in a different position, and you were like, I'm in a different position than the people that Zack has been with in the past, so I'm going to be the one that's going to take this on and go and share the story and have a voice here because the others weren't in a position where they could necessarily do the same thing you did. So one, hats off. I just think That's something that people need to recognize.

Turning out $12 million is- It's crazy. It's crazy. I don't know what I would have done in a similar situation. I'd like to believe what I would have done, but- I knew from the get-go, I wasn't going to take it.

I'm really glad they gave me that extra three days to... I sat on the back. You want to know when I made the final decision? I sat on the back porch of the Duxbury house that he bought for us to live in next to my family and to have a family in. And I sat on that back porch with my aunt, and we looked out of the water, and we looked at this fucking $10 million house. And I'm like, For what? I'm going to get all these millions and just to have a backyard to sit in and thank Zack for? It was never about the money. I was with the dude because I loved the dude. Everything glamorous, rich, or fucking cool about him was the shit that I hated about him. I hated being with him for. So it was just so pointless to take the money to me.

I did ask this on the original episode. It sounds like... So you guys broke up prior to the breakup that stuck, and you had really nasty things to say about him then.

You're like, This guy's crazy. He's a psycho. They're going to probably offer me money. Then you got back together. And it was like under the radar stuff. You were in a cycle of fighting, breaking, getting back. Do you think if he didn't to post that message and wasn't caught on Raya, there's a chance you're still with him now?

I think 100 % if it was like, so I guess let me reverse it a little bit to explain the relationship. I think we should have a recap, basically, what she did in the last episode, just so everyone has what we're off about at this point. I'll do a little more insight to the relationship. So obviously, I ignored a lot of red flags, but When people tell me they love me or I just believe people because I don't assume people are bad.

Not like in Dave Portner, a huge red flag.

Yeah. Well, so our relationship started, and I also want to make it very clear. People think that he was with his ex-girlfriend when we started dating. And it's out there for you guys, things that you have used against me before. He was with multiple other girls, the STD girls, after his past relationship. Then I was after that. So there was nothing- And I can attest to this.

I was at the concert the first night, Bre and Zack even met.

So I do know this is all facts. I just shook his hand.

Yeah, Bre and him as a concert They just said hello. What did we say hi to them for three and a half seconds?

And then what if we went and hung out with my boyfriend at the time?

There's a lot of allegations of that still, which I know you've cleared that who- I mean, the timeline is there for, you guys made the timeline.

Go fucking check your own facts. If you want to use everything against me, my whole life is on the Internet. I've been honest, open about, I'm an open fucking book. Go check it. We first hung out when I went on this road trip with him. This is the first time we talked in person. And we were texting a little bit before that, and then he was like, I need to go on a road trip from Philly to Oklahoma. Do you want to come? I'm like, Yeah, fuck it. I just got out of a relationship. I'm super sad. I didn't think I'm going to end up dating Meeting this fucking dude. I'm like, This is a funny story. I'm sitting on a bench with Grace, and she's like, Yeah, go do it. Who cares? Who wouldn't? You wouldn't? Shut the fuck up. Yes, you would. So I'm like, This is going to be crazy. I'm going out with Zack Bryant on a road trip. We go, I mean, it's immediate after love bombing, which is like, okay, I really am just like, oh, we really hit it off. And he's like, we're soulmates, whatever. After that, I mean, he got me...

After that weekend, we spent three days I think two or three days later, he got me tattooed on his arm. That's when I should have- Wild.

That's right away, by the way, and I'm pretty sure I brought this up in the past.

That's when you should have known. I know. Guys, I know.

He's getting tattoos for one in a relationship I think, is pretty crazy. Secondly, doing it... But you all haven't even started dating yet.

Nope. I have to get some tattoos removed. What are we doing here? What are we doing here? But I'm just a girl, and I was like, I love this, dude. This is fun. And I believed him. He's telling me constantly, women are always trying to ruin my life online and people just want money from me. Yada, yada, yada. I'm believing him when he says this because he's giving me no other reason to not believe it. He is a narrative controller.

He likes to control narratives.

He manipulated the fuck out of me. I truly thought he was this great dude because in the first four months of our relationship, he was. That's who he showed me. That's who I fell in love with. I fell in love with this person that doesn't exist, this person that he showed me who he was. So after the four months of the love bombing, just being the loviest best dude ever, it's just all of a sudden a switch. And he's making excuses, blaming it on shit he's going. There was always another excuse as to why he was treating me so poorly and why I'm crying myself to sleep every night, why he's screaming at me. And then you wake up, it's the apology, it's the I'm going to be better. I need you in my life. If you've been through this, I don't know. I don't expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven't been through it, and I hope you never have to go through it. But if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about. It was just this constant cycle of build you up, beat you down, apologize over and over and over.

I was just rewired to be like, When we fought, he's going to apologize, and it's going to be okay, and I'm going to feel better because you crave that validation from the person because you're holding on to this person that you thought they were in the beginning. And it was just this crazy, awful cycle. So fast forward. Also, I broke up with him last October because I still fucking knew who I was before I lost myself. And I wish to God I just stuck with my guns last October. But I lost myself throughout this whole relationship. It's very evident. You can see it throughout social media. I don't even recognize myself anymore. I lost 15 pounds I didn't have to lose in the relationship. I didn't sleep. I was completely isolated from my family, from my friends, from work. He just took me out of my life. It was awful. And I stayed because I was just stuck and I loved the dude. And it was... I don't know. I blame myself. I'm like, Why did I stay? There's no answer. I don't know why I stayed. It's crazy.

You hear that from victims a lot. Because ostensibly, someone listening, it's like, Yeah, why would you say, Stay is so awful. But That's emotional abuse. You mentioned a few things. The first salvo that I shot at Zack was when I was actually on The Unnamed Show, and I'm told two quick stories. I never liked Zack Zack, here's a little story. I told the Golden Globe story, which a lot of people are asking about when Zack unfollowed us, unfollowed you for a second. I had that story wrong. You, Claire, He verified it. I thought it was because you were on the red carpet and said Jacob Alorty was hot, a famous actor, and he got mad. He was unhappy with the dress you were wearing. And then you told more, which I never dreamed. He's controlling your social media as a team. Do you want to speak to that? Because to me, that was a crazy red flag.

Yeah. Well, that was fucking crazy. That was the first time he really tried to control what I wore or what I posted. So I went to the Golden Globes, and I posted a carousel of pictures, and he didn't like my dress. He said he didn't want to Date someone that presents themselves that way. And he unfollowed me. He unfollowed everyone. And when I flew home, I flew home after the Golden Globes. He ruined my night. Everything good, anything good I did for me, he made sure to ruin it for me. He ruined my birthday. He ruined my tour. He ruined the Golden Globes. Anything Brianna did for Brianna, he had to ruin it. So the Golden Globes night was going so great, and I'm sending him pictures, and he's happy in the beginning. And then all of a sudden it turns to, I can't believe you're wearing this, blah, blah, blah, ruins the night. I'm crying to grace the whole fucking night. And he unfollows me because of the dress. He tells me all the Instagram pictures that I have that I have to delete. And I'm like, okay, yeah, I guess he makes me believe that I have to change my image to keep up with his or something.

So I was twisted in the head like, okay, yeah, he doesn't want to be with a girl that, I don't know, has cleavage. So let me fucking whatever. But do you know what the crazy part- The thing is, we'll probably show a photo in the podcast, obviously, of this dress, but it wasn't like it was some super unmodest, hoary dress. I loved it.

I loved the dress. You're at the Golden Globes. You're at the golden globe. It's like a high-level Hollywood event that people go to and show out in crazy outfits. You know what I mean? I've worn more revealing stuff.

That's not me.

I'm not like- I've worn more revealing stuff to the fucking Golden Globes than Bre has.

I had a cross off. I don't know if that's a fit. I don't know if that is your point.

That's not me. I'm not out here with my nipples and my coochy out. That has never been me, and he was trying to paint me as this. But the cherry on the top of all of that was he reposted that picture of me on his story and was like, You are so beautiful.

While freaking out behind the scenes.

While freaking out behind the scenes. And on unfollowing all of us and unfollowing me. So like, oh, man, it was just such a tug of war with my emotions in my head. That was obviously crazy. And God, I don't know. There's so much. What do we want to talk about?

Well, did that continue at all, Bri? Was there a continuation of the post controlling? Did you have to start reviewing posts by this guy?

Was this- No. Well, no. I started... That's what I mean by I lost myself. Everything I did in the back of my head, I had, is Zack going to be mad? They're going to be a reaction to this. I have to make sure everything I do isn't going to cause- Walking on eggshells. Eggshells. Eggshells.

Which is not, again, and maybe you hear it from time to time, but it's like, why, Zack, would you go down a path with a woman who has a blossoming career You know who she is, and then suddenly be like, drop it. You mentioned, and I didn't know this, when we negotiated your last, and this is all I found out post, when we negotiated your renewal, that he wanted to pay you more than we were going to pay you just not to work.

Yeah. He offered to double what you offered me so that I would quit. And this was... What month was this? I go by hair colors. This was probably When did I... November, maybe? I don't know. And even then, I was like, no, I love my job. I love what I do. I love who I am. You're not going to take everything away from me. I said I would come on the road with you because I can still do my job, and I can still be me, and I can still do my podcast. But he just didn't want me to do it. And he always made it... He twisted it in my head where he would make me be like, You're better than this. You're better than Barstool. You're destined for so much more. He would twist it where it was like, he made me believe, Yeah, fuck that. Maybe I should leave Barstool. But no, I love my job, and I love what I do. And people people have always loved me, and people started to hate me because I became this version of him through dating him.

There's so many different ways. There's a lot of... It made parts of doing this podcast obviously difficult because we'd see the follow unfollow people want to know or things like cheating scandals. And you ate quite a bit of shit for him. And we talked around the diss track, the Noah Khan, which was a huge story at like Fenway Night 2. You're there. Everyone's like, Zack's supposed to be there. He got too drunk. And you were like, No, he's not supposed to be here. You guys are crazy on the internet. In hindsight, the The Internet was right. Like you said, the Internet's always almost right a lot of things. So I don't know how to deal with that. How did you? Constantly carrying his water, especially on a gossip show like this.

Yeah. I mean, I ate so much for that dude. And And as I would for anyone that I loved or cared about, I loved him. I was going to protect him, even though I shouldn't have. But I don't know what else other to say than when I care about you, I'm going to I'm going to be loyal to you, and I'm going to protect you. And I did that over and over and over. And it's embarrassing to look back on because I don't think he ever defended me. And the only thing I ever... All I ever got shit for was for protecting him and defending him and fucking my life up for him. And it's just like, I don't know. It's sad that I did so much for him, but it was never reciprocated. And I also... I want it to be known that I understand people break up and that's okay. This isn't a breakup. I went through a traumatic year of emotional abuse, and I got broken up with over the phone. He left, never saw me again, posted it on Instagram, made a raya, and publicly humiliated me, then called me to say it's all my fault.

This isn't me being like, I dated a douchebag that cheated on me at the bar. No, this is something so much deeper than that. So people want to say the diss track was immature, me talking about it was immature. You know what's fucking immature? The The way you treated me, the fucking shit that you say, the shit that you do that unfollows this, that. Like, everything you did was immature. This is simply a reaction to the way that you treat people. That's all this is.

Do you think if he doesn't post the breakup without telling you, if he's not on Raya instantly or even before, it just- Yeah, because no one's making a Raya count in 12 hours.

And if you are, that's an even worse type of- And to be It's on it to be on it that quick and to post that.

And then for me, the next day, to already be a breakup song, it's like, This fucking guy's a sociopath. What is going on here?

First of all, he's trying to, again, control the narrative. Raya stuff gets leaked. So then he posts the story about breaking up with Bri. So no one thinks he's a cheating scumbag.

Don't forget the Legends Never Die truck picture directly after the breakout post. Yeah. Don't forget that. That was fucking crazy. Just can't sleep on that. That made me laugh. But keep going, Josh.

No, I honestly, I don't even know where I was going to go from there. I think the thing about this, guys, is you just see this continuous pattern of lies and deceit.

And also, again, I'm putting myself in breach. I'm not her, but if this will happen to me and I felt like, You put me through a lot of shit for a year, and not only that, I've eaten your shit. The Noah Khan, whatever the stories may be. And then this is how you end it, with zero respect or- No respect.

All I wanted was you to sit down I have the decency. I have sat down people that I loved and been like, I can't do this anymore. I have to break up with you because I did this when I was 22, sat someone down and did that in four years. He didn't even have the decency to sit me down and be like, Tell me, I'm not in love with you anymore. I'm unhappy. None of that. I still love you. I need you. I need to work on myself. Fuck you. You're so emotional. Goes to Oklahoma. You don't even have the decency to sit me down and be like- Provide any closure. Just a human. That's all I was asking for throughout the whole entire relationship was communication, some fucking ounce of respect towards me. And then you don't just get to dump and shit on people for a year, give them millions of dollars and walk away like, I'm the hero. She's going to be taken care of for life. I'm going to be taken care of for life regardless because I'm me. He just always needs the control. That was ours. That was his final shot at still controlling me and controlling my life with that money and with him being able to walk away like, I did a good thing.

I gave her all this money. Who cares about everything I did? She's going to have cash in the bank.

Do you think that's Because, all right, we've painted a picture of fucking an awful guy, and you've said the pictures, I think you text me that he literally had a team watching your social media to make sure it was, I guess, Zack approved. Dickhead. To me, that's still like 12 million bucks to just have that story out almost still seems insane to me. Is there something we're missing that he's hiding that we don't know, or is it just he's that sensitive to being outed as a dick, which I think a lot of people already knew, maybe not to this extreme, but that's a shit ton of money.

There's a lot. And like I said in the beginning of this, I don't want to get on here and spew everything about this man and all of his secrets and all of his personal shit. I didn't sign that NDA because I didn't want to sign away my experiences. He's going to have to deal with who he is behind a closed door. I don't have to deal with that anymore. And it's not my job to sit here and fucking expose the dude, but I have every right to talk about everything he ever did to me and the shit that he put me through and a lot of other girls through. And yeah, it's just like, fuck you. I don't know. I mean, he's clearly done a lot. There's a lot that I'm not saying. There's a lot that he did that I'm not saying. And it's almost like because one, it's so hard. I don't even want it out there. And I don't want to relive it. I genuinely just want this to rest.

Well, the diss track will keep it going for a little bit if we can get that other than that.

Even the diss track, I'm still like, I feel bad. You guys are making fun of the way he looks and stuff. I'm like, Everything else is great. But I'm like, Why I feel bad? I don't feel bad at all. I know, but still, I'm like, I feel bad.

I actually feel good.

If his feelings are hurt, and I'm like, Why do I still feel like that? You see what I'm trying to prove?

Yeah, but even Hannah is like, Why would your feelings be... Why would you be like, why would you be doing all this stuff. Why would your feelings be hurt? But let me... I'll tell you why I don't feel bad. I already told you when they said they were squeezing you because of us. But I am going to read that, and you had to know this is coming, when he... Where is this? Where's this text you sent me? What he said about... And this is when I'm like, this fucking guy. All right. Here, Brianna sent me this. No, that's not it. Where... No, that's not it.

Which one are you talking about?

He called me a retard.

Oh, that's in the group chat with me and Josh and Austin.

Yeah, that's with all of us.

My steam was coming. All right, let me pull that. All right, here we go. And by the way, in the diss track, I don't know, did you know this, Bre, that he kicked Ms. Peaches out of the dressing room?

No, I had no idea.

That drove me bananas.

I think it's driving a lot of people bananas.

I heard about it through an adlib. We're doing adlibs. And Dave just throws in. He I'm like, Can't you take peaches out of the dressing room. And I was like, Wait, what the hell? As we're doing the end of the song.Explain.

That.explain that. We went to the concert, and it was, I think, Boston's birthday.

It was Boston's birthday.

You had never met peaches. So I'm like, Can I bring peaches? Yeah, let's have the dogs meet, all this stuff.

And of course, I asked Zack. I'm like, Can Ms. Peaches come? Is that okay? Yes. Green light, green light, green light.

And by the way, for anybody who says, I think Breen knew the entire time. People are like, Why are you up there singing? It's like, He didn't miss an opportunity. I knew I didn't like Zack. And I think Zack knew. It was obvious, but whatever. A big star dating somebody you're friends with. He's playing Massachusetts Go. So we bring the dog. He's got a big dressing room. Boston and Jack are in there. It's a birthday party. I brought little hats. I brought little cakes for the dogs. It was so cute. Yeah, during the concert, you go in and out. So Peaches is in the dressing room. Peaches is the least maintenance dog other than she'll try to get into stuff. She's as chill as can be, but it's Peaches, so I'm walking back and forth to make sure she's okay. I walked in back to check on her, and he's just bringing her to this little band dressing room, and he's like, Oh, I hope you don't mind. I'm just moving peaches. What am I going to say? I'm like, Okay. But I have no idea to this day why he wants to get peaches out of that locker room.

The other locker room was actually dangerous for her because there was so much equipment and crap laying around that I need to watch her. I don't know why he did that, but it pissed me off greatly in the moment. Maybe because he didn't want me there, he hates me. But Ms. Peaches, you kick her out of the locker room?

Yeah, that's a doll.

I wish I knew this so I could have got the answers for you. I mean, I'll never be able to talk to that guy again and get those answers.

Yeah, it was... That happened. Obviously, he banned us from the concert. Then he regot us because I wrote for you on the who was trying to trash you. And I wasn't ready to defend you.

Yeah, he banned me and Dave. He banned me and Dave from the Vegas concert.

Again, maybe that should have been the first sign. In a way, it was. I was like, That's a little bit like he's not getting what you do or what we do because we're just busting balls and stuff. I can't find this text of what he said. I texted it to you. Oh, you did? Okay. And again, this is how it's like, how the fuck am I in the middle of this thing right now?

But I guess I am. It was always someone else. It would be you. He hated Grace. It would just be someone else, and then it would be thrown on me. And I'm like, I am me. I'm your girlfriend.

So he's basically kicking you out of the house saying this He says, Dave Portnoy, this is Zack, extorting me for $12 million and threatening to make a song about me is definitely a change. Ha-ha. Like I said, you work for retarded people. First of all, you can't extort. This was their offer. I was just being like, either pay her or go away.

I know.

I wasn't like, 12 million are coming for you. And Bria, nothing to do with the diss track. It was all already public information. But I'm hearing what's going on. So it's, again, you work for retarded people. Bria says, again, I'm not Dave. Again, directly your boss and your company should just realize this shit and left in February. Where's the car? Can we talk about the car?

What happened to the car? Okay. So I was buying my Bronco. I'm buying my Bronco. I'm so excited. I'm like, I'm buying my first car. It's my big first purchase. He won't let me buy the car. He's like, I'm buying you the fucking car. I still think he got the car for free. I don't know. He did something with Ford, and he gets me the car. And I'm like, Okay, you get me the fucking car. I was so excited to buy the car. I couldn't wait for it. And he buys it for me. And it's my Bronco. I've been driving it around. I've been using it. And when we broke up, when this all happened, I texted him, Hey, Can I please pay you for the car? Because this is from the beginning. I was like, I don't want anything from you. I don't want this house. I don't want money. I want my car. I will pay you the money for the car. He goes, No, you can keep the car. Consider it a gift. I'm like, Are you sure? Have the text. Yes, I am positive. I said, Okay, I'll keep the car.

And then when I said I wasn't going to sign anything, which was yesterday when we got those text, he basically is freaking the fuck out. He said he's I'm sending someone to come pick the car up at my mom's house to get all my fucking shit out of it. I'm like, I will pay. Zack, I will pay for the car. And he's like, I'm sending someone to come get it.

So wait, what happened? Did they take the car?

Not yet.

So I don't think they can take the car because it's in your name.

So Bre text joking. And I see the text, and Zack's like, I'm going to fucking get that car. You better have all your shit out of there. I'm going to tow it. And Bre half joking. He's like, Unless you pay me this amount of money, by 5:00 PM.

He sent us wire transfer information. Yes.

And then this guy sucks. Then this guy blocks me.

I was like, I'll fucking buy that car, and I'll just send him a wire for the amount.

I thought it would be funny for me.

Yeah, fuck you. You're the only one rolling around here with money. Fuck you. It's Bree's car. The reason I didn't do that, which we still didn't get an answer, I don't know who's on the title. If it's you, which you weren't sure, I don't know if How do you figure that out. It's like if Bree's on the title, I send him 80 grand. I just sent him 80 grand for free because they cannot take the car from you if it's under your name, which they still can't. But I was ready to just be like, Hey, fuck you. It's Bree's car, just get away. I don't know. The whole thing... I mean, it's made me really... Well, I don't have it yet, but it's made me... I don't know if you're going to be able to see it. We can put it in there. Yeah, I have the picture. I can pull it up.

What is it? Oh, you got the champagne?

Oh, yeah. When I saw-Oh, no. When I saw this going on, and he started to involve me, and I... Is this going to be the picture?

Oh, God. Hell, yeah. It's been a while.

Keep me out of it. The more he's hate me the whole time, I wasn't really... I was just trying to advise as best I could. I thought Zack and his lawyers were stalling greatly. In the end, probably a huge mistake by them if they were actually wanted the NDA because when it was all fresh in that amount of money, but the more it went on, the more it dragged, it just went away. So fuck him. Extorting him. There's something like saying it's a felony. Dave's gone to jail. It's like, what the fuck are you talking? You think this is my first rodeo, son?

Well, that's the thing. They kept just trying to scare me and scare me. And they even got me, scared me into wanting to sign it. I never wanted to sign it. And then I got... He was like, well, then we're going to war.

And all of this. That's the classic lawyer.

That's the classic. I know him. He and his team.

They think that they're the The scariest people in the world, and they're not.

No.

I'm like, What are we going to go to war? What is your ammo? What are we going to war about? All I ever did was be a fool and fucking love you.

Yeah. And it's what we said from the beginning. As long as you always tell the truth, you're not going to get sued. I don't even know that an NDA, I've said that from the beginning, I don't know how enforceable it is. In the end, it was so crazy. They want Bre. And I don't know how they thought this would ever work, that Josh and I had to be... First of all, we didn't even know anything. But in what world do you think that's going to work?

And all of Barstool Sports. They put all of Barstool Sports in it. I'm the fucking CEO. I'm like, I'm just a girl again.

You're not the dictator of BFFs.

Even what they're doing running around with this diss track, it's going to be up. It's going to get up. Are you that insecure? It just draws more attention to us. Nuts to me. Okay. We've confirmed the Fenway. That was a big thing the night, too. Shout out, Jetski on the back.

Wait, I do have something that I think I just need to get off my chest.

I think you got to get it off, too.

One morning, we were out the night before, and one morning I woke up or I was scrolling TikTok, and last night, we let the liquor talk was stuck in my head. And I walk up the stairs in the New York apartment, and I'm singing I'm about to make breakfast or something. I'm like, Last night, we let the liquor talk. He, freak the fuck out. Like, freak the fuck out. He could not believe you're singing another man's song under my roof in this house that I own, like Alt It was a fight for, I think, a week. I came up the stairs saying, Last night, we let the liquor.

Is that anybody or is there a specific beef or something?

That's a Morgan Wallen song.

I I don't know. What's he care about? There's a lot of songs. Is it specific to Morgan?

I think he really doesn't like Morgan Wallen. I think he really hates Morgan Wallen. I think he feels inferior to Morgan Wallen.

I also So I was not really allowed to listen to Noah Khan. I listened to him too much.

I thought they were friends.

I thought I was friends with Zack, too.

Noah Khan just ate shit. I mean, he just lied.

Me and him, one in the same.

Yeah, he just lied. Why? He must be happy. He must be like, Fuck, finally somebody said the truth, because that would drive me insane.

Yeah. Well, Zack was just like, he was supposed to be the guest, and then he didn't go. He canceled last night.

Because he got shit-faced.

Yeah, I think he was drunk. I wasn't with him, but he was drunk and canceled on him. So I don't know what he said to cancel for, but canceled the night before or the day before.

Check them out. Last topic, more serious one. We got to touch it a lot, the state. I know there's been back and forth. I had one little line. I think it's fair to say if there's no Zack, Brian, you and Grace, friendship probably is in a better spot than it is currently. But how are you guys doing?

Good. We're texting last night. She loved the diss track.

Is it improving now that he's out of the picture? And by the way, personal experience, even if Zack isn't the biggest dickhead, whoever walked down the street, lifelong friends, when one gets a serious boyfriend, always test the relationship. They're on the fact you got a colossal asshole. I can see how that on both sides would create issues. I love both you guys. I hope it works out.

No, me and Grace will always be fine. There's something huge in this which demolished our relationship.

I don't know. You got it. Do it. No, I think you got it. You got it.

You can always cut it if you want.

Yeah. Okay. For my birthday, Zack got a house for my family and I and all my friends in New Hampshire. And he was on tour, and he had three or four days off so he could come to my birthday. And he kept making it this big deal. He's like, I can't believe I'm fucking leaving tour to come to your birthday. I'm like, You don't have to come. Honestly, I know it's going to be bad if you come, so you don't have to come. I'm so grateful for the house, whatever. You don't have to come to my birthday. And he's like, I'm not going to fucking miss your birthday. Then I'm like, Then stop saying this to me. Stop making me feel bad that you're coming to my birthday. I don't care if you're here at this point.

I almost feel like that little story sums him up to a T, but continued. To a T, yeah.

Yeah. So anyways, he comes to my birthday, and he gets there, and he's all weird. He's acting funny. It's whatever. I'm like, whatever. He just got off tour. It's always an excuse, like something's going on. The night starts and we all sit around the fire and it's pretty chill. It's actually really chill. It's all of my family and my friends. We're sitting around the fire and he just starts doing what he does, throwing jabs. I'm like, What the fuck? From across the fire, throwing jabs at my friends and calling people idiots. I'm like, Okay, it's 11:00 It's 11:30. I'm going to go to bed. I was so excited. It was my birthday at midnight. We're going to do the champagne or whatever. I'm like, I got to go to bed before my birthday. Hopefully, he will follow me to bed. So I'm like, Good night, guys. I love you. Everyone's like, Bre, what the fuck? Why are I'm like, I'm not going to bed? It's your birthday in 10 minutes. I'm like, I got to go to bed. I'm like, Zack, let's go to bed. He doesn't follow me. I go upstairs. I go to sleep, and I wake up probably an hour and a half later to screaming, and I'm like, What the fuck is going on?

So I go downstairs into the basement of this house, and it's like all my girlfriends crying, and they're all in it. So I'm like, What the fuck happened? What's going on? And And I look outside and I have my aunt trying to control Zack. And there's a recording of all of this that can never be out. Basically, Zack just we're all hanging around the fire, and I guess he stood up at the fire and just starts screaming at my friends, You're You're not going to be anything. You're a fucking loser. Just the most horrible shit. You're never going to make it. You live off of other... Just crazy out of nowhere. And I'm like, What the fuck? But when Zack's in this zone, there's no containing it. So my aunt's trying to figure it out, whatever. I bring him up to bed. He smashes glass. Wake up in the morning, I'm like, You have to leave, Zack. You have to apologize. This is crazy. And they didn't squash it, obviously, but it was like, We'll be civil today so that Bri can have one day. And ever since then, it was just awful. And Zack, every night, I'd be trying to go to sleep on the bus, and he would just come in and just start recording me and be like, is it okay if I'm recording you since your friends fucking record me and everyone fucking around you records me all the time?

And he would just record. I have the craziest videos. Maybe that's why the $12 million is involved, because I have a lot of shit that I'm never going to put out there because it's embarrassing for me, and I don't want my future kids to see it. But that's probably where the $12 million comes from.

That explains the tongue.

I mean, I've met a guy like this. I've met a guy like this. Explains the tongue. Smashing glass, yelling at women. This is just like...

Oh, look at my phone. It's smashed from him. He's always smashed my phone.

So as in what? Take it out of your hand and throw it on the ground?

Yeah, take it out of my hand and just whip it off a wall.

It's starting to become a little more evident why the 12 men. There's a 12 men. To be honest, I think it's-There's signs pointing in a direction. I think it's good that you told that story. I think that story should be told. I think it explains a lot.

Everyone in my personal life knew what I was going through. Just no one in the real world does. And I never thought they would because I didn't want to ever say it, but I'm over now. I'm not over it, but I'm out of it so I can understand what I went through, and I feel comfortable talking about it now. I'm not stuck in it anymore.

That's crazy. Yeah, that's wild. Explains a lot more, to be honest. But that's all I have. Bri, I texted you this after it was over and this thing went to shit and it was clear you weren't taking the money. It wasn't meant to be public, but I'm proud of the decision. I think you would have regrett it, no doubt in a year, two years. You're not that person. You're never... And I don't even care. You make, for most civilians, great money anyways, and I think your career will blossom you. But even if you weren't, even if you were making 40, 50, from what I know of you, and I feel like I know you pretty well at this point, it's crazy. You think, I don't know how you ended up in this cycle, but people do all the time.

Yeah. You never think it's going to be you. And that's why I didn't take the money and the message I want to get out there. It's like, so many people go through this and are scared to leave or think they're always going to be stuck in it or after it ends or after you're in this discard phase of a Narcissist that you have no self-worth. And it's not true. And if I can go through it and I can be okay in front of everyone, then you can, too. And if you don't have the support system or the friends that I'm so grateful and lucky to have, you have me now, and everything's going to be okay. There's always another side to things. And I'm so grateful that I got out of it. And It's for the better. And only good things can happen from this. And I'm really, really proud of not taking the money, the decision I made. And I hope that people can understand and see what I was going through for the past year and see why I lost myself and why I wasn't who I was prior to the man, that guy, the smallest man.

Well, we're glad to have you back.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm so fucking glad to be back. Just be myself again. I can't wait. No more dictatorship over here.
