Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia is turning a new leaf, declaring 2025 as her year of independence and self-care, distancing herself from 'all men' and 'relationships' following messy breakup.
- January 6, 2025
AceShowbiz - Brianna Chickenfry, the 25-year-old Barstool Sports star known for her messy split from Zach Bryan, has made a resounding declaration for 2025 - she's leaving "all men" and "relationships" behind. In an exclusive conversation with Page Six at the 2025 Golden Globes, LaPaglia shared her plans to focus on personal growth and surround herself with positive influences.
"2025: the year of being single. I haven't done it in a long time," LaPaglia revealed on the red carpet in Los Angeles. "I want to surround myself with good people, I want to be a good person. I just wanna, like, have a good aura in 2025."
This bold proclamation follows her high-profile split from country star Zach Bryan in October, which was marked by allegations of emotional abuse and manipulation.
LaPaglia, who co-hosts the popular "BFFs" podcast, has been vocally critical of the relationship's toxic elements. She recounted instances where Bryan, 28, tried to control her wardrobe choices, including a moment at last year's Golden Globes when he allegedly shamed her for wearing a fitted sheer dress.
"He didn't like my dress," she claimed on her podcast in November 2024. "He said he didn't want to date someone that presents themselves that way." In a powerful statement of independence this year, LaPaglia donned an even bolder fitted gown with a plunging neckline at the 2025 Golden Globes.
Despite the gravity of her accusations, Bryan has chosen not to directly address them. Instead, he posted a cryptic quote from Jack Kerouac's novel "On the Road," leaving fans to speculate on his perspective.
"I didn't know what to say. I felt like crying, Goddammit everybody in the world wants an explanation for your acts and for your very being," the quote read. LaPaglia, however, scoffed at Bryan's silence, saying it "proves his character" and threatened to release evidence and recording if he denied her claims.
