Brianna Chickenfry claims she was blocked by her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan

Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia and her Barstool Sports colleagues speak freely about her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan – especially since he apparently blocked them all on Instagram.

The podcast “BFFs,” which LaPaglia, 25, co-hosts with her boss, Dave Portnoyand TikTok star Josh Richards – teased a song titled “Smallest Man” set to be released on Wednesday, November 6th. It's hard to confirm without the lyrics, but there is speculation that the song is a dissident track about 28-year-old Bryan.

“You don’t even have the courage to tag him in the picture,” one Instagram commenter wrote. LaPaglia quickly responded, writing, “We are all blocked.”

It's not a complete surprise that Bryan blocked his ex-girlfriend and her colleagues on social media (which he's done before) after receiving a brutal online bashing for his decision to announce their breakup late last month to bring to the public.

Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia is putting her mental health first. The “BFFs” podcast co-host announced on Wednesday, October 30, that she is taking a break from the popular Barstool Sports podcast, which she co-hosts with Dave Portnoy and Josh, following her split from country singer Zach Bryan Richards moderates. “Hey people! We tried to record (…)

Bryan announced on October 22 that he and LaPaglia had split after more than a year together. The “PlanBri Uncut” podcast host claimed she was “blindsided” by the announcement after the couple reportedly agreed to keep the split under wraps for now.

“How can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be thrown away in a few days,” LaPaglia shared in a YouTube video. “It’s really, really heartbreaking and I don’t want to talk about details right now.”

She has since taken a break from both podcasts she hosts, but continues to post on social media.

“I'm doing really well in every sense of the word best friends,” she captioned an Oct. 26 Instagram Story post in which she shared a life update. “F- men and kill them all lmao.”

Portnoy, 47, vocally defended LaPaglia after she and Bryan ended their relationship. It was rumored that Bryan was seen with a profile on the dating app Raya during his breakup with LaPaglia. Portnoy called this a “crazy” move by the singer.

The friendship between Dave Portnoy and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia has come a long way over the years. Portnoy, 47, founded Barstool Sports in 2003, but LaPaglia, 25, joined the team much later. She started as an intern at the Podcast Network in 2020. The organization contacted her via social media after her videos (…)

“He was on a dating app before the body was cold!” said the Barstool Sports founder during the Oct. 24 episode of “The Unnamed Show” podcast. Portnoy also recounted two situations he experienced with Bryan.

Portnoy called LaPaglia a “revolving door” of relationships on a July 2023 episode of “BFFs.” When Bryan found out months later, the singer banned Portnoy from his show and started an argument with his then-girlfriend. The second “sensitive” story Portnoy recalled came when LaPaglia walked the Golden Globes red carpet without Bryan and appeared to be talking about one of the male celebrities in attendance. Bryan apparently unfollowed LaPaglia on Instagram and blocked the “BFFs” account.

“He just seemed like a really immature, not confident baby,” Portnoy said at the time.
