Though Grace O’Malley did not go into detail about her departure, she did appear to accuse Brianna Chickenfry of blindsiding her earlier.

In a December 6 Instagram Story, she stated, “We agreed to make a joint statement, so I replied, cried, and chose not to repost or say anything until it was time.”

“On that same day, you might’ve seen Brianna post that she’s ‘working on bringing back some version of PlanBri.’ To give you guys the much needed info you deserve, I can only say that that was my first time hearing about this,” she claimed.

But Chickenfry also came up with her own justification. She said during a December 12 episode of her 'BFFs' podcast with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards that O’Malley “knew what I was going through.”

“I really needed her, so I couldn’t do the podcast anymore because we’re sitting there pretending to be friends,” the 25-year-old revealed, before asserting, “I didn’t feel seen by her. I needed to set a boundary.”

TikTokers release Brianna Chickenfry’s controversial messages

However, people online have expressed their disappointment in Brianna Chickenfry. Some TikTokers posted screenshots of messages she allegedly sent them.

According to Betches, One such message read, “Maybe Grace sucks? And was a horrible friend to me? And horrible to the rest of the team?”

“And maybe I cut her out of my life 2 1/2 months ago? And I’m not gonna say that online because I would never want some I cared about to get publicly attacked because I know how hard it is? Maybe you need to look at the bigger picture,” it added.

Another message was “There are two sides to every story. Clearly I would never speak online because I’m a good person. Look where everyone is. Look who everyone unfollowed. Use critical thinking.”

Chickenfry was also accused of doing the same thing with O’Malley, which she herself reportedly faced by her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan.

The 25-year-old and Bryan broke up in October and the former had alleged that she was “blindsided” by the country musician, as per PEOPLE.

“Hey guys, I'm feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk,” she added at the time.
