Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy calls out Zach Bryan as he shares his not-too-pleasant experiences with the country singer following the musician's split from Brianna Chickenfry.

AceShowbiz - Dave Portnoy, a friend of Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia's, has shed light on the relationship between country singer Zach Bryan and the female internet influencer/podcast host before their shocking breakup.
On "The Unnamed Show" podcast, Portnoy disclosed two incidents that contributed to his negative opinion of Bryan. The first occurred at a concert in Las Vegas, where Bryan reportedly banned Portnoy and LaPaglia's pals from attending after he saw a podcast episode where they joked about her dating history.
According to Portnoy, their light-hearted banter about her having a "revolving door of boyfriends" led to "the first big fight" between the now-former couple. "I never had great vibes," he said of the country musician. "I think banning me from a concert over a joke is pretty f**king insane."
The second incident involved LaPaglia's interview on the Golden Globes red carpet in January 2024. Bryan allegedly reacted poorly to her response when she was asked about a celebrity she found attractive.
"It was some famous, awesome-looking celebrity and she was like, 'Oh, he's good looking, he looks nice,' " Portnoy remembered LaPaglia's comments during the interview.
Driven by anger and perhaps jealousy, Bryan then allegedly unfollowed LaPaglia on social media and blocked her podcast account. Portnoy did not mince his words as he called out the singer, "He just seemed like a really immature, not confident baby."
Portnoy admitted that he never liked Bryan, finding him "a fraud" and sensing "off vibes" during their interactions. He claimed that LaPaglia was aware of his dislike for Bryan.
