In a video she posted on Friday, the 25-year-old social media personality appeared to be having a great time dancing at a bar with her friends. However, the account she provided of what unfolded next shocked her fans.

‘Then, go to a random married couples house and f*** the husband’s wife while the husband is asleep next to him on the couch, then call her to scream at her, force her to pick him up because he’s too drunk to drive and blame her in the morning<3.’

After meeting at the Academy if Country Music Awards in May of 2023, Brianna and Zach began a relationship two months after – making a high-profile debut together on the red carpet at the 2024 Grammys.
However, tables turned in October of 2024 when the 28-year-old country star announced in a lengthy statement to Instagram that the pair have parted ways after more than one year together.
Bryan posted to his account: ‘Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with eachother (sic) and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.’
‘I’ve 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 out different ways. I am not perfect and never will be,’ he continued in his statement.
‘Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this and if you have it in your heart, mine too.’
‘With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself.’
Just over 30 minutes after his statement, Chickenfry alluded to the break-up with her own message stating she was going to be taking a social media break after feeling ‘really blindsided.’
‘Hey guys I’m feeling really blindsided right now. Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk,’ she said.
‘I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything’s always gonna be OK.’
Shortly after the statements, the drama-filled feud began to take flight on social media, as Chickenfry admitted Zach announced the split prior to telling her he was going to share the break-up post.
The breakup only began to get messier in November, when the Barstool Sports podcaster claimed Bryan had launched objects at her face, as she was upset that the he posted an image of a pet they once shared to social media.

‘I said, f*** you, I don’t want your money, I don’t want a settlement,’ she explained to Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports. ‘I don’t know who you think I am, but that’s not me.’
During the episode, the social media personality revealed that from that point on, it became a constant back-and-forth, with Bryan’s team repeatedly offering her both money and properties to keep their relationship quiet.
‘They gave me all these options,’ she continued. ‘They started low, then they went up to $10 million, then they went up to $12 million, then they wanted to give me a house, then they wanted to give me a New York apartment.’
‘That was his final shot at still controlling me and controlling my life with that money and with him being able to walk away,’ she added. ‘Like, “I did a good thing. I gave her all this money, who cares about everything I did. She’s going to have cash in the bank.”‘

The couple are pictured together in happier times
‘You don’t just get to dump and s*** on people for a year, give them millions of dollars and walk away like “Ah, I’m the hero, she’s going to be taken care of for life.” I’m going to be taken care of for life regardless because I’m me.’
Portnoy, 47, also led an attack on Bryan, releasing a diss song called ‘Smallest Man’ and slamming him in podcast appearances, calling the singer a ‘scumbag’ and ‘a piece of s***’.
Despite the ongoing drama, Chickenfry seems to be moving on and once again, finding her sense of humor.
In Friday’s exposing TikTok, she noted how she loved the trend, adding that she’s ‘finally getting comfortable being able to share it!!! Just needed to heal first.’
