Kirk Minihane blasts Brianna Chickenfry in explosive rant over podcast diss: 'Everybody hates her'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The drama at Barstool Sports just hit a new level.

Kirk Minihane, one of the company’s most outspoken personalities, unloaded on Brianna Chickenfry (real name Brianna LaPaglia), calling her a “repugnant human being” and claiming that “everybody at the company hates her," Whiskey Riff reported.

Kirk Minihane blasts Brianna Chickenfry in explosive rant

Kirk Minihane’s outburst came after Brianna Chickenfry took a jab at him during a podcast, declaring, “Podcasters. Terrible. Hate podcasters. They’re the worst. Kirk Minihane.” Given that she’s a podcaster herself, the comment raised eyebrows but Minihane, known for his sharp tongue and zero-filter approach, fired back hard on his 'The Kirk Minihane Show'.

“She can hate me. I hate her. She can hate me, I respect that. That’s fine…Brianna Chickenfry should hate me. I’m fine with that. I hate her.”

He also hinted at inside knowledge about her messy breakup with Zach Bryan, claiming he had spoken to someone “she was in a relationship with,” strongly implying Bryan himself.

Minihane admitted his remarks might land him in trouble with Barstool founder David Portnoy, but it wouldn't be the first time. In December, he slammed Chickenfry as "the biggest fraud on the internet" after she suddenly became a Taylor Swift fan post-breakup.

That particular dig got him briefly fired by Portnoy, who has been one of Chickenfry’s strongest supporters.

She has been a lightning rod for controversy since her high-profile split from Zach Bryan in 2024. After accusing him of emotional abuse, and cheating, and claiming he offered her $12 million for an NDA, she received both support and backlash. Then came the fallout with her best friend and former co-host Grace O’Malley, followed by criticism over her Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover. all of which fueled her polarizing reputation.

However, Minihane doesn’t seem to care about potential consequences. “I know that her dad is probably going to text me now, he’s probably going to be all upset but I will say, I hate Brianna Chickenfry and I wish her nothing but misery for the rest of her life. She can hate me, believe me, my hate will outlive yours."

“She can hate me all she wants. That’s fine. I think she’s a repugnant human being. The world is worse off because she’s in it and everybody at the company hates her. Everybody at the company hates her. But only one person has the balls to say it. What else is new?” he asked.

Dave Portnoy on Grace O'Malley’s Barstool exit amid Brianna Chickenfry feud 

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy weighed in on the messy feud between Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia and Grace O'Malley following the latter's abrupt exit from both Barstool Sports and their shared podcast called 'PlanBri Uncut'.

O'Malley announced in December 2024 that she was cutting ties with the company, alleging that LaPaglia blindsided her with the decision to end their long-running show.

Portnoy, addressing the situation, made it clear that Barstool was caught in the crossfire of a deeply personal dispute.

"I don't know what people want Barstool to do. You have two friends of 20 years, both employees, who ended up hating each other. It sucks," he told E! News.

He admitted that given the circumstances, O'Malley leaving the company was probably the best decision. As for LaPaglia’s future? Portnoy remained uncertain, simply stating, “Who knows with Bri.”

Portnoy partially blamed country star Zach Bryan for escalating the tension between the former best friends.

“Zach is a d**k to Grace and Bri's getting f**ked up by Zach. It's terrible. They start hating each other,” he said on the issue.
