Brianna LaPaglia, better known by her stage name Brianna Chickenfry, confirmed she is dating country singer Zach Bryan on one of her podcasts. Despite her hesitation, she admitted that the two are having fun and keeping things casual.
But today, we are not here to discuss the things she revealed. Instead, let’s learn about her parents, whom she rarely talks about.
Who are Brianna LaPaglia’s parents?
Brianna LaPaglia is the daughter of Wayne LaPaglia and Joyce Donahue.
According to her, both of them worked two jobs and were never home. “I was basically the only child at home. They couldn’t afford childcare. So after school, I would walk home and lock the door. Home alone until 8 p.m.,” the TikToker revealed.
But it’s not that Brianna’s parents didn’t love her. They just never came home.
Thanks to that, along with witnessing the addiction of those around her, Brianna matured quickly and became who she is today.
Brianna is now an American content creator, blogger, podcast host, and social media star. She rose to fame on TikTok with her viral videos, especially those showing her suffering from hangovers, earning her the nickname “CEO of Hangovers.” Her humorous and relatable videos about life made her a TikTok star, and her popularity caught the attention of digital media company Barstool Sports.
In July 2020, Brianna joined Barstool Sports as a full-time employee after starting as an intern. She hosts her own podcast called PlanBri Uncut and co-hosts other podcasts such as Because We Got High with Ria and Kelly, and BFFS with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards. She also contributes as a blogger to the company’s website. Brianna is known for her entertaining content and has amassed a significant following across multiple social media platforms, including over a million fans on TikTok and over 200k followers on Instagram.
Despite her success, Brianna has faced her fair share of controversy, including criticism for her comments on a sensitive topic, which led to an online petition demanding her removal from Barstool Sports.
