She added that she was frustrated with his lack of response and claimed she "took the high road" by not exposing the entire truth behind their relationship.
"I don't believe people are lost causes. It was my final cry at help to try to get him to see what he does to people, and to try to get him to get help," LaPaglia added.
"I obviously think he's not responding, because if he is to respond, he has to deny it. And if he denies it, then I'm full-story, then I post all the videos and the recordings. That in itself should be enough."
LaPaglia went on to say that she hopes he works on his alleged toxic behavior.
"I threw him a bone, and I hope that he actually looks at it, reflects, takes time to fix himself, and stop putting women in these situations that he puts women in. That's really why I handled it the way that I did, it's not to ruin him or whatever."
Her comments come after she accused the 28-year-old country star of emotional abuse during their relationship. She also claimed he offered her $12 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
Last week, LaPaglia said during the "BFFs" podcast, "This episode of me not taking the money, like it's not just for me. It's for anyone else who'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 lucky enough to have going through this."
She continued, "And the last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life, dealing with the abuse from this dude. I'm still scared right now, because I'm scared of him still, my brain's rewired. I'm scared to make him mad."
During the podcast, Portnoy said the offer amounted to $12 million in "life-changing money."
She said that along with the $12 million, which incrementally went up, she was also offered a house or a New York apartment by his team.
"She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time, and for that I'll always thank her," he wrote in the October social media post. "I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways."
He added, "I am not perfect and never will be."
Hours after his post, LaPaglia made a YouTube video of herself sitting on her bathroom floor, saying that she had been "blindsided" by Bryan's breakup post, claiming that he hadn't told her that he planned to post it and that she had hoped to deal with their split privately.
