Meet Brianna LaPaglia’s Parents: Wayne LaPaglia, Joyce Donahue!

Brianna LaPaglia, famous as Brianna Chickenfry, confirmed she is dating country singer Zach Bryan in one of her podcasts. Although hesitant, she admitted that they were both having fun and keeping things normal.

But today, we’re not here to discuss what she revealed. Let’s get to know her parents instead, whom she rarely talks about.

Who are Brianna LaPaglia’s parents?

Brianna LaPaglia was born to her parents, Wayne LaPaglia and Joyce Donahue.

According to her, they both work two jobs and are never at home. “I was basically the only child at home. They cannot afford child care. So after school, I walked home and locked the door. Stay home alone until 8pm,” the TikToker revealed.

But it’s not that Brianna’s parents don’t love her. It’s just that they were never home.

Thanks to this, and seeing those around her become addicted to drugs, Brianna grew up quickly and became who she is today.

Now, Brianna is an American content creator, blogger, podcaster, and social media star. She became famous on TikTok for her viral videos, especially those of her drunk, earning her the nickname “The CEO of Drunks.” Her funny 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’s popularity is due to her entertaining content and she has amassed a significant following across various social media platforms, including over a million fans on TikTok and over 200 thousand followers on Instagram.

Despite her success, Brianna still faced controversy, including criticism for her comments on a sensitive topic, leading to an online petition demanding she left Barstool Sports.
