Dave Portnoy calls Zach Bryan an ‘asshole’ after Brianna’s claims

Founder of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy doesn’t mince his words when it comes to his dislike of Zach Bryan.

“My Dawg of the week is that damn miserable piece of motherfucker Zach Bryan,” Portnoy, 47, wrote via X on Saturday, November 9, sharing footage from Barstool’s College Football broadcast.

He repeated the comments during the recording.

“If you have his music on his phone, please delete it,” Portnoy said. “That man is a piece of s— and you should never have had anything to do with him. He’s the worst.”

Bryan, 28, recently broke up with the Portnoy’s Barstool employee Brianna “Kip” LaPagliawho claimed she was blindsided by his decision to end their relationship.

Earlier this week, LaPaglia, 25, visited her and Portnoy’s “BFFs” podcast to chart the course of her relationship with the country star. The influencer claimed she rejected a $12 million check from Bryan in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement.

“The last year of my life was the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this guy,” LaPaglia claimed on the Thursday, November 7, podcast episode. ‘I’m still scared now because I’m still scared of him. My brain has been rewired. I’m afraid of making him angry.”

She added, “I kept showing up when I shouldn’t have, and I kept loving and giving when I shouldn’t have. That’s a me problem. If you don’t get the love you give you have to walk away and I really think this is such a blessing because who knows how long I would have stayed and how long I would have dealt with this situation. —.”

Dave Portnoy and Zach Bryan’s problem runs deep – and it’s not just because of Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. “He hates my guts,” Portnoy, 47, said of the singer during a “BFFs” podcast in November 2024. “I got into the middle of this more than I expected.” Bryan announced it in October 2024 […]

Portnoy and fellow podcaster of ‘BFFs’ Jos Richards have been firmly on “Team Bri” since the breakup. They even wrote a “Smallest Man” diss track in honor of Bryan, which Portnoy sang on Saturday.

“How lucky is Bri to be free of ZB?” he sang during the college football broadcast. “And all his STDs.”

Portnoy later added: “Download it! He sucks.”

Bryan has not publicly addressed LaPaglia or Portnoy’s accusations, but previously claimed the split was “beneficial” for both parties.

“Brianna and I broke up with each other and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart. She has loved me unconditionally for a long time and I will always thank her for that,” Bryan wrote in an Instagram Story statement in October. “I personally have had an incredibly difficult year and have struggled through some pretty serious things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our separate ways. I am not perfect and never will be.”
