Brianna \u201cChickenfry\u201d LaPaglia<\/strong><\/a> has seen the viral speculation that her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan<\/strong><\/a> is dating a woman who resembles the Barstool Sports personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext question is [one] that I got a million times. \u2018What do you think about Zach\u2019s girlfriend looking exactly like you?\u2019\u201d LaPaglia, 26, said on the Sunday, October 12, episode of her \u201cPlan Bri Uncut\u201d podcast<\/a>. \u201cI think that is narcissism textbook 101, like, that\u2019s what narcissists do. They just go and find another version of you to date.\u201d<\/p>\n

LaPaglia dated Bryan, 29, from summer 2023 to fall 2024 and later accused him of being emotionally abusive. (He never addressed the claims. Us Weekly<\/i> reached out at the time). The country singer moved on with Samantha Leonard<\/strong><\/a> this summer, with fans often flooding social media with comments about the uncanny resemblance between the two women. (Neither Bryan nor Leonard have addressed the comparisons at all.)<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are like, \u2018Are you creeped out? Are you mad? Are you flattered?\u2019 I am flattered to be honest,\u201d LaPaglia said. \u201cI dyed my hair so that people [would] stop sending me every single picture that he posts of her, and I blocked him. I don\u2019t wanna see this [and] I don\u2019t want to indulge in anything that he does.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cThe only time he comes across my desk is when he, like, jumps over fences<\/a> or talks about ICE \u2026 when he\u2019s in the news. I have him blocked on everything, so I only see articles when they come up on my [TikTok] For You Page, but his [new girlfriend] looking exactly like me is crazy nonetheless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whenever Bryan and Leonard post a new photo together, many fans often send LaPaglia messages and ask why she reconciled with the \u201cSomething in the Orange\u201d musician.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Guys, no, that\u2019s not me. I literally dyed my hair for this reason,\u2019\u201d LaPaglia explained of her responses to the plethora of DMs. \u201cI was, like, \u2018I cannot continuously keep being compared to someone. It\u2019s exhausting.\u2019 It\u2019s crazy and it\u2019s weird that he\u2019s dating a new version of me, but who cares at this point?\u201d<\/p>\n

LaPaglia further stressed that she \u201cdoesn\u2019t care\u201d what Bryan does with his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just so glad he\u2019s not near me \u2014 just near my clone,\u201d she quipped. \u201cSorry, I have to say it. Your new girl is my clone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bryan announced the pair\u2019s split in October 2024<\/a>, citing that they went their separate ways amicably.<\/p>\n
