If you’ve spent a decent amount of time scrolling on TikTok (say… four hours a day or more since 2020), you’re probably familiar with the Barstool characters, Brianna Chickenfry, whose non-TikTok name is Brianna LaPaglia, and Grace O’Malley, her bestie. Yes, I’m talking about the girl who’s dating Zach Bryan and the redheaded comedian with the heavy Boston accent. For whatever reason, these two have a “relationships” podcast called PlanBri Uncut where they basically just hangout and giggle a lot. The most qualified relationship experts out there.

But back in May, fans of Brianna and Grace noticed that the friendship vibes were kinda off. Basically, there was an awkward comment from Bri, some subtle PlanBri podcast tension, a failed attempt to put friendship breakup rumors to bed, and then, finally, an honest explanation of what’s been going on. Although we thought they made up and were all good, things appear to be tense between these two once again. Fortunately for you, I’m a TikTok drama connoisseur and am qualified to walk us through this chaos. Are Brianna Chickenfry and Grace still friends? Did they have another falling out? I got answers.

Are Brianna Chickenfry And Grace Still Friends?

Brianna Chickenfry Said She Wants To Do A Podcast Without Grace

It all started months ago when Bri told fans that she was thinking about bringing back a solo pod… an odd thing to say when you have a successful podcast with your best friend. She apparently wanted to start a TheraBri podcast or series where she gives advice to her followers. Mhm, everyone who’s aware of Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast choked for a sec. It’s almost like that idea is very much taken.

“I love what me and Grace do, but I also feel like I’m craving the… in-depth conversations about things I care about,” Bri said. She added, “I feel like this has turned into the funny, silly pod, which is so fun and it’s the highlight of my week.” But that wasn’t cutting it for her. Bri was “missing that fulfilling feeling of helping you guys and giving you advice and having real conversations with you.” Because we all need advice from influencers who are famous for partying, duh.

Brianna Chickenfry Denied The Friendship Breakup Rumors To Dave Portnoy

When Dave asked Bri about the rumors on their BFFs podcast (ironic) in May, she quickly dismissed them, calling the idea “so crazy.” When he asked what was going on between her and Grace, Bri replied, “Nothing. People are fucking crazy. I was with Grace yesterday. Last night.” Bri noted that Grace is “doing all of her comedy stuff in New York” and she just misses doing the PlanBri podcast solo.

Brianna Chickenfry And Grace Revealed That They “Haven’t Been Seeing Eye To Eye”

Sooo, Bri was lying on BFFs. In the May 30 episode of PlanBri, “The Truth About Our Friendship,” the duo got real with their followers. Grace shared that they’ve been having “a little bit of a tiff lately.” She explained, “Things have been changing between the both of us and we weren’t fully communicating how we felt to each other.” Apparently, the influencers had not been “seeing eye to eye,” so they met up to have a tough conversation about their friendship status.

“We kind of just have different interests,” Bri chimed in, pointing out that she hates New York and Grace loves it. Ah, yes, the classic friendship-ending different taste in cities. She continued, “We just weren’t wanting the same exact things like we always wanted.” That led to “built-up resentment” between them, but in the end, they realized they still wanted to be BFFs.

Fans Think Brianna Chickenfry And Grace Are No Longer Friends After The Birthday Controversy

Fast-forward to October, and there’s new Bri and Grace drama. I’m exhausted. On October 27, Grace celebrated her birthday by going to Brooklyn Crab with a group she described as “all” her friends. Who was noticeably absent? You guessed it: Miss Chickenfry did not make an appearance. In her TikTok vlog about the day, Grace used a song called “All My Friends,” which could also be a hint. Not to mention, this is apparently the first time that Bri hasn’t publicly wished her a happy birthday.

And it gets worse. One might’ve assumed that Bri was just taking a social media break after her very public and messy Zach Bryan breakup, but nope… she posted an Insta photo dump on Grace’s birthday. “So so so grateful to have such beautiful friends and family,” she captioned the photos of her and friends spending time outdoors. Needless to say, Grace is nowhere to be found in that dump.

I fear the TikTok detectives may be right this time.
