Zach Bryan's ex-girlfriend, Brianna Chickenfry, revealed she dyed her hair just so that she wouldn't have to be "continuously compared to someone." As it turns out, the "someone" she's talking about is Bryan's current girlfriend, Samantha Leonard. And yes, she does look a lot like Brianna.

Brianna LaPaglia, known to her friends as Brianna Chickenfry, is an internet personality and influencer. She started dating Bryan in 2023, but their relationship struggled to last past the one-year mark.
After posting a breakup announcement on his Instagram story without LaPaglia's permission, the truth behind what their relationship was like started to surface. Not only did LaPaglia accuse Bryan of emotional abuse while they were dating, but she also shared via the BFFs podcast that he offered her $12 million to sign an NDA so that she wouldn't talk about their relationship. She refused his offer.
Fast forward to 2025, and the country singer is dating Samantha Leonard, who bears a striking resemblance to LaPaglia. On the Plan Bri Uncut podcast, LaPaglia answered questions about what she thinks about the matter. "Next question that I got a million times: Please, what do you think about Zach's girlfriend looking exactly like you?" She responded to this question she gets from fans by calling Bryan's actions "narcissism 101."
Brianna Chickenfry Shares She Wouldn't Wish What She Went Through "On Her Worst Enemy"
"That's what narcissists do, they just go and find another version of you to date," she shared. "People are like, 'Are you creeped out? Are you mad? Are you annoyed?" Brianna admitted, "I am flattered, to be honest, but I dyed my hair so that people stop sending me every single picture that he posts of her."
She said that she doesn't even "indulge in anything" Zach Bryan does. "I have him blocked on everything, so I only see articles when they come up on my For You page." The articles she's referring to most likely have to do with Bryan's recent statements about ICE and his beef with Gavin Adcock.
In the latest episode of her podcast, Plan Bri Uncut, Brianna revealed that with the BFFs podcast ending, she wanted to focus more on creating content that is less "surface level." "The last year and the year before that were brutal, and what happened to me on the internet was brutal. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy," she shared. She credited her "childhood trauma" for giving her the adversity "to go through what [she] went through."
After a year-long hiatus, Brianna broke her silence on her experiences over the past year. Fans can listen to the full episode below.
