Brianna Chickenfry Says She’s “Lacking Social Skills” After Relationship With Zach Bryan: “Don’t Know How To Entertain Real Conversations Anymore”

Trying to move on. Of course, I think we’ve all probably heard more than we ever wanted to about what happened between country star Zach Bryan and Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry, who have been going through a very public breakup over the last month or so. Brianna has been very forthcoming with a lot of the details of what went down, saying that Zach and his team offered her a $12 million NDA to keep her from speaking about everything. Mostly through her BFF's podcast, which Bri co-hosts with Barstool Sports CEO Dave Portnoy, as well as personality Josh Richards, we've learned that Zach apparently wouldn’t let Bri listen to Morgan Wallen, and was pretty vocal about her looks and what she wore (Bri also mentioned him being particular about her hair color, which she used to change often), and it’s been entertaining, to put it mildly, listening to her stories. And today over on TikTok, she shared that it's been pretty rough trying to put her life back together since the breakup. She noted that she's had a lot of anxiety being around unfamiliar people since the two split, because obviously, the whole world knows everything about their relationship (which, yes, she voluntarily shared with everyone... very fair). Bri told fans online that she is mostly nervous because she became so isolated during the relationships that she is now "lacking social skills" because she doesn't know how to "entertain real conversations anymore." "I'm in New York, got my hair done today and had a fitting, and everyone's like, 'She's so back, she's so back.' Which yes, I am, I'm back to my life before everything that happened. I think people that are new here maybe forget, or don't know, don't that this was my life before. My life became dramatically slowed down when I started dating my ex. Like, my life kinda just became his life, so I put all my stuff on pause. Although I obviously wanna jump back into my life and I’m very excited to get back to doing my job and traveling, I'd be lying if I said this was easy. I’m going to Vegas tomorrow for work for F1 and I wanna cancel. And I can’t cancel because I’ve already committed ... and I don't like backing up commitments unless I’m on the floor, you know, sobbing. And I also think I need to push myself through these beginning months, but I'm just overwhelmed with anxiety. I'm so nervous... when you went through what I went through, you start to have bad social skills... like, you start lacking social skills because you don’t know how to entertain real conversations anymore. Being with my close friends and family after this, it's easier to bounce ack, because I’m so familiar. I don't stress about jumbling up my words or saying the wrong things, or like, are they judging me? I know they're not." I don't know if it's necessarily fair to put all of that on Zach, but it's clear that being with him took a big toll on her. Bri also explained that she gave up so much of her life to be part of Zach's that it's been a huge readjustment to get back into work and live her own life again: "But now I’m going to Vegas, and it's just gonna be people that I'm not so familiar with. Thank God I'll have Josh there, my manager, but for the most part, I don't know anyone else. And to be thrown in a room with people that, I'm not assuming everyone knows, but it's been very public... everyone knows everything. I don’t wanna go and I just sobbed on my bed. I am freaking the f*** out and I really hope I can look at this video after Vegas and be like, 'You did it, b****. You had a good time.' I’m really praying I don’t have mental breakdowns there." I think many of us are kind over hearing about this saga, but I do think what happened to Brianna in how she became so wrapped up in someone else's life while dating them, while neglecting her own, is a great lesson for anyone, especially young women, regardless of who her ex is.

Im so glad i didnt let my mind trick me out of going. I made so many new friends, so many great work connections, and memories that ill remember forever. Reminder to push yourself through these feelings, its the only way to get through the healing journey!! I didnt think about it once while i was there. Love you guys and proud of us always. Even if you do cancel, proud of you always?? ♬ original sound - Brianna LaPaglia Here's the BFF's podcast where she goes in-depth on everything and tells some of those aforementioned stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUHBGPE5nPA&t=177s
