Brianna Chickenfry and Zach Bryan ‘s Romance and Breakup Once held sway over the music and entertainment world. After a brief respite from the headlines, the drama has resurfaced.
Bryan is one of the biggest stars in country music . Chickenfry is a famous podcaster and barstool sports personality. Their relationship went public in July 2023. They separated in October 2024.
“Addressing something,” Bryan wrote in a separation announcement last year. “Brianna and I have broken up [each other], and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a long time, and for that I will always be grateful.”
This remark prompted Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy to call Bryan a “fraud.” He later released a diss track about the country singer titled “Minor Man.”

Brianna Chickenfry filed a lawsuit against the division. She alleged that Zach Bryan asked her to sign an NDA worth approximately $12 million. She refused.
This refusal allows her to talk about the relationship, which she says is toxic.
Brianna Chickenfry threatens to expose Zach Bryan.
As with all juicy celebrity drama these days, TikTok was the source. The former couple’s drama resurfaced thanks to Bryan’s shady comment on a fan post.
@taydepadua I’m so conflicted 💀 #zachbryan ♬ River Wash Hair – Zach Bryan
The video above was posted by @TayDePadua. Bryan’s “river wash hair” can be heard playing in the background with a specific line being noted by the OP.
Remember when we’d sit by an old campfire/
We’d sing CCR, ‘Jersey Giant,’ ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’/
Or anything Bruce Springsteen/
When Anna would throw her hands up/ up/
With her face framed by the fireAnd I think I can pack a bag at night/
Find me a little town out west/
Start over, find closure and say, ‘I’m sorry.’/
To that sweet girl who ripped off that dress
Some thought it was a reference to Brianna Chickenfry. Zach Bryan assured them it wasn’t.
“LMFAO I said ‘sweet,’ that’s not what she’s got going on about,” he wrote in a now-deleted post. Chickenfry responded with a threat.
The BFF’s Podcaster commented: “LMAO obviously he doesn’t think I’m sweet, I turned down $12 million to share my abuse while Rose and Deb signed NDAs. Also FYI his is not about anyone. He drunk texts them at 6am.”
She continued to threaten to release recordings of their relationship on her show.
“Plus, his comments made me really excited to share some of his videos and stories this week on BFF. I can’t wait to release the Fire Pit recording.”

This particular recording refers to a birthday outing a few years earlier, which Chickenfry has spoken about in the past. She detailed a “cold” night with her family and friends that turned south.
“I go downstairs to the basement of this house and that’s all my girlfriends are crying about,” she said in a previous podcast episode. “And I look out, and there’s my aunt trying to control Zach.”
“Basically, just Zach—we’re standing around the fire, and I think he got up in the fire and starts yelling at my friends, ‘You’re not going to be anything, you’re a f—ing loser.’ Just the most horrible—when Zach is in this zone, there’s no containing it.”
She had previously stated that the night’s recordings “never come out.” She might have changed her mind after the last barb.
