“Nurse He’s Loose Again”: Brianna Chickenfry and Dave Portnoy Respond to Zach Bryan’s Flag Burning Video

After Zach Bryan posted a video attacked Barstool Sports, his ex and the CEO of the company had a couple of things to say about it.

People might have briefly forgotten about the chaos that ensued between Zach Bryan and Dave Portnoy after Bryan's breakup with personality Brianna Chickenfry. But, it doesn't look like the country singer plans on forgiving and forgetting the Barstool Sports CEO anytime soon.

Zach Bryan burns barstool flag on his IG story? #zachbryan #fyp @country.limits

? original sound - country.limits

Just earlier today, Bryan posted a video of him burning a "Saturday Is For the Boys" Barstool Sports flag on his Instagram story, featuring the song "Bitin' List" by Tyler Childers playing in the background of the post. Burning the flag wasn't quite enough, so Bryan made sure to hit it a couple of times with a golf club before ending the video.

The drama started when the couple broke up in October 2024, and Bryan wasted no time announcing the split on his Instagram story with Brianna. Chickenfry responded by saying she hadn't expected him to announce their breakup publicly so soon, which he did exactly one day after it had happened. She expressed feeling "discarded" by someone she felt she had loved so deeply on her Instagram story shortly after.

The couple initially started dating back in 2023, shortly after meeting at the ACM Awards that May. In July of 2024, they celebrated a one year anniversary, but since then it just seems like things have been going downhill.

What Dave Portnoy Has To Say About Zach Bryan

Dave Portnoy, who had worked with Brianna through Barstool Sports, came to her defense post breakup, admitting that he never liked Zach and calling him a "fraud." The CEO even dropped a diss track on the singer with his podcast co-host Josh Richards, calling Bryan "a small man."

Post Bryan's most recent update on Instagram, Portnoy also wasted no time on social media letting everyone know how he felt about the singer's video. "Oh no. How are we ever gonna recover?" he mockingly said on a story featuring a picture of Zach's story.

Brianna also took to Instagram with not one, but two story responses, sharing how she felt about the situation. It doesn't seem like she's letting go of anything anytime soon, either. The first photo was a picture of her, with a caption that read "Nurse he's loose again," followed by a string of laughing emojis. The second featured a screenshot from Chickenfry's Google searches, with "how do I file a restraining order?" being in the search bar.

Brianna hasn't hesitated to be super vocal about details of her relationship with Zach, even mentioning that him and his manager tried to get her to "sign an NDA" after the breakup for $12 million dollars. Although we don't know exactly what went down between the two, it seems like there's still some bad blood, especially since now Bryan is dating a girl who looks almost exactly like Brianna, Hannah Duncan.

For now, Zach hasn't said anything in response to Portnoy and Chickenfry, but he might want to, given that more and more people seem to be adding Zach Bryan to their "Bitin' List."
