Brianna LaPaglia, known to fans as "Chickenfry," recently paused her BFFs podcast after her highly publicized split from country artist Zach Bryan.
The social media influencer, addressing fans on TikTok, expressed needing a break for her mental well-being amid the intense reaction surrounding her breakup.
Co-hosts Josh Richards and Dave Portnoy are fully supportive, encouraging her to "do what's best" for herself.
LaPaglia revealed she's still processing the breakup, which came as a shock. On October 22, Bryan announced on Instagram that the two had decided to part ways, noting, "I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways."
Emotional Fallout and Support from Co-Host Dave Portnoy
Following Bryan's announcement, LaPaglia released a heartfelt YouTube video, where she described the breakup as "really, really heartbreaking."
She shared the difficulty of facing the end of a relationship without warning, explaining, "How can you give someone everything and love them so unconditionally through stuff that you shouldn't ... and then be discarded of in a few days?"
Though LaPaglia is taking time to reflect, she assured her fans she'll "be back and ready to talk" when the time is right.
Meanwhile, BFFs co-host Dave Portnoy has been vocal in his support of LaPaglia, calling himself a "Zach Bryan hater" on another show, The Unnamed Show. Referring to Bryan as a "fraud," Portnoy hinted at past interactions with the singer that left a negative impression.
Despite the visible chemistry between LaPaglia and Bryan, insiders suggest that the country star's lifestyle wasn't ideal for a committed relationship.
While LaPaglia is giving herself time to heal, fans of BFFs eagerly await her return and the inside story on her journey through this high-profile breakup.
