Brianna Lapaglia, podcaster and influencer Brianna Lapaglia, raised the cover on her relationship with Dave Portnoy in the months following her separation from Zach Bryan.
Portnoy, 47, led an attack on Bryan after Lapaglia – nicknamed “Brianna Chickenfry” – said the singer was emotionally violent during their relationship.
The founder of Barstool Sports has published a Diss song entitled “Smallst Man” and continued it several times in the appearances of the Podcast, calling Bryan as “Scumbag” and “A piece of S ***”.
Lapaglia, 25, has already joked by saying that people thought she was romantically involved with Portnoy, but in a new interview with Elite Daily, she revealed that their relationship was actually quite different.
“He will hate that I said that, but he’s like my father,” she said.
“Sometimes he has a very hard head, and maybe we adopt different approaches to things, but I still like to get his contribution, because I think he is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met – I trust Dave in my life.”

Lapaglia used to co-organize the BFSTOOL BFFS podcast with Portnoy, but he fell from the program at the end of 2024.
She paid tribute to her boss after her last appearance, joking about the rumors that they could be together.
“I know that everyone thinks that Dave and Dave are secret lovers, but on a serious note, the last four years of BFF with were a highlight of my stay in Barstool,” she wrote.
“Sort of seeing him go but very excited for what Josh and I have in reserve for best friends.”
Portnoy himself was also forced to respond to the affirmations that he was romantically involved with Lapaglia when Grace O’malley left the bar stool in the middle of an apparent quarrel with Lapaglia.
“Everyone knows that Grace has left. I always receive DMS of people like “Dave, you have dismissed it. You are a scumbag to choose the sides,” said Portnoy.
“People are nuts. People publish photos of my ex F *** ING Woman (Renee Portnoy) online, being like: “Oh, she looks like BRI, so Dave is in love with her.” It’s crazy.
