Starting off with a huge admission ... Brianna was allegedly offered $12 million by Zach's team to sign an NDA ... which she clearly rejected.

Brianna talked about the infamous Raya profile screenshot that went viral on social media ... revealing that she got a bunch of DMs telling her Zach was on the dating app.

BL says he allegedly merely responded that he "reactivated" the app when confronted ... which is why she claims he posted about the breakup ... 'cause he got caught.

What's more ... Brianna says there was a lot of isolation and manipulation in their relationship, giving the example of Zach allegedly not liking her Golden Globes dress and not wanting to date someone who presented themselves like that ... so he unfollowed her -- but he later reposted the dress snap, claiming she was beautiful ... among many other examples throughout the podcast.

Brianna claims there was never a breakup convo, and their relationship ended with Zach telling her he 'couldn't do this,' only to head back to Oklahoma by himself.

An emotional whirlwind indeed.

Brianna LaPaglia's split from Zach Bryan is somehow getting even nastier ... she's just unleashed claims that the country star was emotionally abusive throughout their relationship.

The Barstool Sports personality opened up on her messy breakup with Bryan on Thursday's episode of "BFFs" ... making some heavy claims against the "Something In The Orange" singer while behind the mic.

Brianna LaPaglia appears to not be wasting any time moving on from her rocky split with ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan -- a moving truck was spotted outside his Massachusetts mansion.

TMZ obtained a picture outside Zach's waterfront mansion an hour south of Boston Thursday. He bought the property for $7.450 million in July to be closer to Brianna, who splits her time between NYC and MA, where she's originally from.

It's very clear based on this picture that the breakup, which has been splashed all over headlines, is complete.

Artem Chigvintsev says he's more than just a 'DWTS' alum, he's also a DIY guy at heart ... pushing back on some nasty things his estranged wife says about him.

But Artem's firing back in new legal docs ... saying Nikki is lying about his opinion on construction work.

Travis Kelce is used to taking hits on the field ... but he was blindsided by a blow off of it this week -- when "Jeopardy!" ribbed him with one of its clues!!!

The game show fired off the diss when a contestant asked to receive a hint from a category titled, "The TV Show In Question."

The $200 clue -- which host Ken Jennings read out loud -- stated, "'Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?' is hosted by this man who's maybe more famous as a BF than as a 3-time Super Bowl Champ."

While Jason Kelce has expressed remorse over his actions during a viral confrontation with a "fan" in Happy Valley last weekend, Penn State cops still have not been able to ID the man who started the altercation with the retired NFL star.

A spokesperson for the university police department tells TMZ Sports that they do not know the identity of the guy, adding no one has come forward to make a complaint over their personal property (smashed phone) being damaged.

FYI, an officer who observed some of the incident did file a report.
