Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia is reopening a chapter she has never fully let the internet close.
In the Feb. 17 Impaulsive episode, the Barstool Sports personality didn’t just revisit her breakup with Zach Bryan. She took direct aim at his recent marriage to Samantha Leonard, agreeing Leonard is her “carbon copy” and claiming Bryan planned the wedding as “a dig” at her.
Then the conversation took a turn. LaPaglia said she’s been dating women since the split, adding that “sex with a woman is just sweeter,” a comment that quickly sparked fresh discussion online.
The “Carbon Copy” Accusations
When Logan Paul pointed out what he called a resemblance between the two women, LaPaglia didn’t push back. She leaned in, calling Leonard her “carbon copy” and framing Bryan’s wedding as intentional provocation.
The internet has been making this comparison for months. Her boss, Dave Portnoy, fanned the flames by calling Leonard a “Brianna robot” and questioning how it was “even possible” for them to look so similar. LaPaglia’s argument isn’t that the marriage happened. It’s that it was staged to send her a message.
“Sex With a Woman Is Just Sweeter”
Perhaps the most viral moment from the podcast came when Brianna revealed she’s been exploring relationships with women since her split from Zach.
When asked about the difference between being intimate with men versus women, Brianna didn’t mince words: “Sex with a woman is just sweeter,” she told Logan and Mike.
Some fans took it as straightforward honesty about her sexuality. Others treated it like a strategically timed needle aimed at an ex who just got married.
The Messy Breakup Timeline
Bryan publicly announced the breakup in October 2024. LaPaglia said she felt “blindsided” and later alleged emotional abuse during the relationship.
On her podcast at the time, she claimed that Bryan’s team offered her money in exchange for silence and that she refused. She also alleged he used NDAs with past partners, saying, in part, that he made “the women before me” feel they had “no other choice” but to take money and sign their experiences away. Bryan has not publicly addressed those allegations.
Fast-forward to this winter: Bryan married Leonard in Spain on December 31, 2025. The marriage is now the new flashpoint, and LaPaglia is framing it as the latest move in a story she says never stopped being personal.
The Internet Weighs In
The reactions split into predictable camps. Some people focused on the “carbon copy” talk and called it creepy. Others argued she’s still stuck on an ex who has moved on. The rest weren’t debating Zach at all. They were debating what her dating-life comments are being turned into online. A personal update, a punchline, or a clap back.
What’s Next
Bryan’s With Heaven On Tour kicks off in March 2026, marking his return to major concerts. LaPaglia continues building her podcast platform, and this episode proves she still knows exactly how to trigger a high-volume, high-heat reaction.
Based on the response cycle so far, this won’t be the last time the breakup resurfaces. Not because the facts are new, but because the internet still wants to litigate who “won.”
