Dave Portnoy blasts ‘insane’ Zach Bryan for appearing to date Brianna Chickenfry ‘clone’

Zach Bryan’s alleged new girlfriend has Dave Portnoy doing a double take.

The Barstool Sports founder expressed disbelief on Thursday’s “Unnamed Show” episode over how much Samantha Leonard looks like Bryan’s ex — and Portnoy’s employee — Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.

“Have you seen his girlfriend?” the 48-year-old asked his podcast co-hosts, Kirk Minihane and Ryan Whitney.

Portnoy shared side-by-side photos of LaPaglia, 26, and Leonard, noting, “That is not Brianna. It’s insane. I mean, how is that even possible?”

Bryan, notably, was linked to Leonard last month when she included a photo of them at Spain’s Running of the Bulls in an Instagram slideshow.

Reddit users have since called her resemblance to LaPaglia “actually crazy” and “scary,” with one writing, “This is what Kanye [West] did to Kim [Kardashian] with Bianca [Censori]. Such loser behavior.”

A third called Leonard LaPaglia’s “clone.”

On Thursday, the “Unnamed Show” hosts all struggled to tell Bryan’s past and present flames apart, with Portnoy quipping, “I honestly don’t even know what I’m looking at here.

“This guy’s an absolute psychopath,” he continued. “He went and built a Brianna 2.0 in the lab. I mean, that’s insane.”

Reps for LaPaglia and Bryan did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The exes dated from 2023 to 2024, with the “BFFs” podcast co-host accusing Bryan of emotional abuse after they called it quits.

She also called out the “Something in the Orange” singer for allegedly trying to get her to sign an NDA for $12 million, which she refused.

While Bryan has yet to comment on the allegations, he brought the breakup back into headlines last month by dissing LaPaglia in a TikTok comment.

He insisted “River Washed Hair” was not written about LaPaglia because she isn’t “sweet” — and subsequently shared a couple screenshots of texts she had sent him.

At the time, LaPaglia clapped back at her ex “crashing out” and “attacking” her while providing receipts of her own.

She Googled “how do i file a restraining order” on Monday when Bryan posted a video burning a Barstool Sports flag.

LaPaglia has not debuted any new relationships since she and Bryan called it quits, telling Page Six in January that she is leaving “all men” behind this year.

Bryan, for his part, went public with Hannah Duncan in March, but their current status remains unclear.

Prior to Chickenfry, the songwriter was married to Rose Madden from 2020 to 2021 and dated Deb Peifer from 2022 to 2023.
