Brianna Chickenfry Says She’ll Never Date Again

When it comes to messy breakups, influencer Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s very public split from country singer Zach Bryan is in a league of its own. Imagine your ex blindsiding you by announcing it on his Instagram Stories, then having a UFC fighter give him a little shout-out at a match you were attending. How does one move on from that level of pettiness and get back out there again? LaPaglia has a good answer: just don’t.

“I’m married to my career,” the Barstool Sports podcaster told “Page Six” at the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday. “I’m never dating anyone ever again.” An understandable take — dating is an absolute horror show right now — especially considering she claims Bryan emotionally abused her throughout the course of their yearlong relationship and offered her $12 million to sign an NDA. (She declined, saying on an episode of the BFFs podcast that she would not sign “away my experiences and what I went through to protect someone that hurt me.”)

Despite her unique move-on strategy, LaPaglia stressed to “Page Six,” that she doesn’t want her followers to think she “hates men” or is cynical. “Sometimes you get stuck with a bad guy, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t good men out there. I’ve dated really good men,” said LaPaglia, who also announced that she’s been “writing a lot” and is turning her attention to a book she has in the works. She didn’t specify what it’s about, but in any case, good for her.
