Zach Bryan’s ex Brianna Chickenfry cozies up to mystery man as she claps back at 'that was fast’ remark
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Brianna ‘Chickenfry’ LaPaglia is moving on! Less than a month after her public split from country singer Zach Bryan, the Barstool personality seemingly has a new man in her life, and she is unapologetic about it.
Brianna, 25, posted a video on TikTok on Sunday, November 17, where she shared footage of herself hanging out with some of her friends. But what caught the attention of her loyal fans was that the internet personality was also cozying up to a new man.
Brianna Chickenfry gets a new man in her life
In the recently shared video, Brianna can be seen having quality time with her friends, including Barstool producer Payton, while sitting on a New York City bench.
Sitting on the bench was another man, whose name Brianna neither revealed nor identified, who was seen snuggling with her. He wrapped his arms around the podcast host as Payton and another man sat on the side.
She captioned the post on TikTok, “Sometimes all you need is a nyc sunrise and some good pals," reported People.
While the internet celebrity was unapologetic about her personal life, an internet critic noted, “That was fast.”
Brianna, however, defended her stance and clapped back at the TikTok user, writing, “Well I was cheated on my whole relationship so yeah.”
She previously foreshadowed this outing with her “Australian boys,” when she declared in her November 16 TikTok post, “I’m hanging out with one of the Australian boys, but just for fun.”
She continued, “We’re just going to have a fun day, it’s nothing crazy. So if you see me and an Australian boy walking around, ignore me, okay? Ignore.”
She further added about the mystery man, “I’m never going to see him again, so it’s like whatever.”
While she responded to the online critic for the comment, Brianna left her fans wondering about the status of her relationship with the man, who she called a “pal,” after neither confirming nor denying the nature of her relationship.
This was, however, not the first time that she has hinted that Bryan cheated on her during their relationship.
Brianna and the country star dated for more than a year after going public with their relationship in July 2023.
After the ‘Pink Skies’ singer announced their split through a lengthy note posted on his Instagram Story, Brianna accused her ex of mental abuse in her ‘BFFs Podcast’ on November 7.
She also claimed that she was blindsided by the breakup.
In a TikTok post made on November 15, she alleged that the ‘Oklahoma Smokeshow’ singer cheated on her during their relationship.
She wrote, “Fun fact my biggest celeb crush tried to slide a few months ago,” before adding, “But of course I denied bc I had a bf and I was getting cheated on the whole time hahhahahahahah.”
Brianna Chickenfry revealed she is still ‘scared’ of Zach Bryan
In her November 7 podcast, Brianna Chickenfry revealed that she is still “scared” of Zach Bryan after enduring a year of “abuse.”
"The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude," Brianna said referring to her famous ex, and noted, "I'm still scared right now because I'm scared of him.”
She continued, "My brain's rewired and I'm scared to make him mad and last week, I didn't want to talk about it 'cause I was scared," per People.
Brianna shared that it was a constant cycle consisting of "build you up, beat you down, apologize over and over."
"There was always another excuse as to why he was treating me so poorly and why I'm crying myself to sleep every night," noted the star.
She continued to reveal the pattern of the alleged abuse, "Why he's screaming at me and then you wake up, it's the apology, it's the 'I'm going to be better like I need you in my life', but if you've been through this — I don't expect people to understand emotional abuse if you haven't been through it. I hope you never have to go through it but if you've been there you know what I'm talking about."
