Unclaimed page — not yet verified by VerifiedHer. Is this you?
Real, and about as thoroughly documented as this site sees a personality get, because Brianna LaPaglia has an employer of record, not just a following. Barstool Sports' own staff bio page — published under her professional name, "Brianna Chickenfry" — credits her as host of three named, currently running shows: the podcast PlanBri Uncut, the podcast BFFs with Josh Richards and Brianna Chickenfry, and a show called It Girl; her own bio blurb there reads, in her words, "Another chick from Boston. I'll tell you how it is and try to make you laugh along the way." Her hiring is independently dated: entertainment site Distractify reported she was hired full-time by Barstool Sports in summer 2020, discovered through her TikTok content after roughly a week as an intern; she had been attending Baldwin Wallace University in Ohio, majoring in public health and competing on the women's swimming and diving team, before withdrawing that September to pursue the job. Her longest-running credit has an independently dated, multi-year organizational history: Wikipedia's entry for BFFs records that the show launched October 13, 2020, created by Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards, with Brianna Chickenfry joining as its third co-host within the first ten episodes; Portnoy left the show in late 2024, and Richards and Chickenfry co-hosted the first episode without him on January 8, 2025, an event corroborated by contemporaneous entertainment-press photo coverage captioning her, alongside Richards, as a host of "the Barstool Sports podcast BFFs." She also self-hosts PlanBri Uncut, launched in July 2020; Apple Podcasts credits its host as "Brianna LaPaglia (also known as Brianna Chickenfry)" and lists the show at 336 episodes with a 4.4-star rating from more than 3,000 reviews as of this research. Her public profile extends past her own platforms: she's listed as a speaker on Advertising Week New York's own 2025 schedule page, credited there as "Media Personality + Cultural Commentator" and host of BFFs on Barstool Sports, and on February 17, 2026 she made a guest appearance on Impaulsive, Logan Paul's podcast, per TheTVDB's episode record. Entertainment-industry booking listings separately report her as a brand ambassador for Athleta (from August 2024) and Sunglass Hut (December 2024, including event appearances), and credit her with an apparel collaboration, "Boys Lie x Plan Bri," released with the brand Boys Lie in December 2024 — those three items come from a secondary booking-agency listing rather than press, so we hold them as reported rather than documented. Her TikTok account, @briannalapaglia, is independently confirmed live via TikTok's own oEmbed API. No official AI-persona statement, platform AI label, or operator claim of a virtual model was found anywhere in this research, and no impersonator or "is she AI" confusion surfaced around her name either — a mainstream, camera-visible media personality with an employer of record is about as far as it gets from that kind of ambiguity. This page is unclaimed and compiled from public sources.
All of her, everywhere — every known account
- TikTok @briannalapaglia Appears official Confirmed live via TikTok's own oEmbed API, which returns the account's own creator-profile data under this exact handle.
- Instagram @briannalapaglia Appears official Handle matching her known public identity and linked TikTok account; corroborated only via search-engine indexing, not a direct fetch — Instagram's login wall prevented this research from independently confirming current bio text or follower count.
- YouTube PlanBriUncut Appears official Channel exists per URL and search-engine indexing; a direct fetch returned only generic page-template content, so subscriber count and description could not be independently confirmed through automated tools.
- Employer bio Barstool Sports Official Her employer's own official staff page, crediting her as host of three named, currently running shows — first-party confirmation of her professional identity, not press-relayed.
- Podcast (Apple Podcasts) PlanBri Uncut Official Her self-hosted podcast; Apple Podcasts credits the host as "Brianna LaPaglia (also known as Brianna Chickenfry)."
