Brianna \u201cChickenfry\u201d LaPaglia<\/strong> <\/a>is once again making headlines \u2014 this time over an eyebrow-raising claim involving her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s wife, Samantha Leonard<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Barstool Sports personality, who split from the country singer in October 2024, alleged that Samantha once visited Brianna\u2019s longtime hairdresser and asked for her exact hair color. Brianna shared the story during a November 2025 episode of Plan Bri Uncut titled \u201cMy Hairdresser Spilled The Drama<\/a>,\u201d sparking immediate conversation online.<\/p>\n

Zach, 29, has since moved on and quietly tied the knot with Samantha, 28 \u2014 a relationship that has drawn attention from fans who have noted her resemblance to Brianna. Despite the new chapter, fallout from Zach and Brianna\u2019s breakup has continued to linger. In January 2025, amid ongoing backlash, the Grammy winner addressed the controversy directly, urging fans to keep those close to him out of it. \u201cNo matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me,\u201d he wrote via Instagram Stories at the time. \u201cI can take all the hatred because I\u2019m not a child. But do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zach later confirmed his marriage to Samantha with a two-slide Instagram carousel<\/a>, captioning a photo of himself holding his bride, \u201ctougher than the rest,\u201d a nod to the Bruce Springsteen<\/strong> song. He also shared a short clip covering the track.<\/p>\n

On her podcast, Brianna explained that the story came from her hairdresser and close friend, Lily<\/strong>, who she says has been responsible for many of her hair transformations over the years. \u201cShe was going to tell me that girls came in to see her, all these girls that he was cheating on me with,\u201d Brianna recalled. \u201cBut what she told me was honestly was even more like it was amazing. I was like, \u2018No f***ing s**t.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Brianna, the alleged incident took place after she and Zach had already broken up. \u201cShe goes, \u2018Bri, this girl comes in like right after we went out to dinner,\u2019\u201d Brianna said, explaining that the woman showed Lily her Sports Illustrated cover as inspiration. \u201cAnd she\u2019s like, \u2018I want my hair to look like this,\u2019 and it\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brianna went on to describe how the woman allegedly changed her story when asked how she was referred to the salon. \u201cShe\u2019s like, \u2018Oh my friend!\u2019\u201d Brianna said, claiming the woman first said Brianna was the friend before later saying she was a \u201cfriend of a friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Brianna acknowledged that fans often visit the salon because she\u2019s posted about it frequently, she questioned the intent behind this particular appointment. \u201cAnd she was showing my picture for inspiration,\u201d Brianna said. \u201cIt was Zach\u2019s new girlfriend\u2026 Or are they married now?\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to the situation, Brianna didn\u2019t hold back. \u201cI\u2019m like, bro\u2026 they are perfect for each other!\u201d she said. \u201cThat is so f****** honestly sad, and deranged\u2026 It\u2019s sad. I feel bad for the girl, to be honest, because I know what she\u2019s stuck with.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of now, Samantha has not publicly responded to Brianna\u2019s claims. While the internet continues to debate the story \u2014 and the similarities fans have long pointed out \u2014 Brianna herself noted that everything shared online should be taken with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
