Barstool Sports personality Brianna LaPaglia sets the record straight on dating rumors and opens up about her wellness journey following her ugly split from Zach Bryan.
- November 20, 2024
AceShowbiz - Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia, of Barstool Sports fame, has denied recent rumors that she is in a new relationship following her split from country singer Zach Bryan. In a TikTok video posted on Monday, LaPaglia addressed the speculation by saying, "You guys think I'm ever going to have a boyfriend again? I am in intensive therapy."
LaPaglia's response came following a headline claiming she was moving on from Bryan after their bitter split. The rumors were further fueled by a video LaPaglia shared of herself cozying up to an unidentified man while watching the sunrise in New York City.
However, LaPaglia made it clear that she is not pursuing a new romance. She explained that the man she was spotted with was an "Aussie boy" who's "just visiting New York" and their interaction was nothing more than a brief encounter.
"I said in my video before that, I'm hanging out with a guy who is going back to Australia. I'm never going to see him again," she said. "Am I not allowed to live a little? Am I not allowed to smooch a little?"
LaPaglia's comments come after a public and tumultuous breakup from Bryan, which he announced via Instagram in October. Since then, she has been open about her struggles with mental health and has alleged that Bryan was unfaithful and emotionally abusive during their relationship. Bryan has remained quiet about the accusations.
Despite her ongoing challenges, LaPaglia is dedicated to her recovery and has been vocal about her desire to help others who have experienced emotional abuse. In a recent episode of her podcast, "BFFs," she shared her story and discussed the importance of seeking support.
