    Dave Portnoy Explodes Over Zach Bryan’s Wedding, Claiming His Wife Looks Like A “Brianna Robot”

    Dave Portnoy weighing in on the Zach Bryan wedding drama? Shocking absolutely no one.

    Unless you’ve been completely offline, you’ve probably already heard that Zach rang in the New Year as a married man. News broke on New Year’s Eve that he officially tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Samantha Leonard, after months of rumors swirling about their relationship status.

    Zach marked the moment by sharing a wedding-day photo with the caption, “Tougher than the rest.”
    Not long after, Samantha followed up with her own set of ceremony photos, simply writing, “Forever.”

    While plenty of fans rushed in with congratulations, others immediately zeroed in on a familiar talking point: how strikingly similar Samantha looks to Zach’s ex, Brianna LaPaglia, better known as Brianna Chickenfry.

    If that name rings a bell, it’s because Brianna has been very open about her past relationship with Zach — including allegations of abuse, claims of being offered $12 million to sign an NDA after their breakup, and months of public back-and-forth that played out online and on podcasts.

    Much of that drama spilled onto the podcast Brianna previously hosted with her Barstool Sports boss, Dave Portnoy. Portnoy even teamed up with co-host Josh Richards to release a diss track aimed at Bryan titled “Smallest Man.” Portnoy has never hidden his dislike for the singer either, once bluntly saying:

    “I was never a liker. I think he’s a fraud. Every time I met him, I wasn’t comfortable. Some guys give good vibes — he never did.”

    He also revealed that Zach had once banned him from attending his concerts after Portnoy made a joke about Brianna’s dating life — a move that pretty much cemented the bad blood between them.

    So when news of Zach’s marriage hit, Portnoy wasted no time circling back to one of his favorite observations: Samantha’s resemblance to Brianna. He’s previously called Zach a “lunatic” over it, and he doubled down yet again, joking:

    “There ain’t no way that ain’t a Brianna robot. Ain’t no way.”

    Side-by-side photos only fueled the chatter, with fans calling the resemblance uncanny. Brianna herself has admitted she’s done double takes when seeing Samantha’s pictures — and honestly, it’s not hard to see why.

    As of now, Brianna hasn’t publicly responded to the news of her ex marrying someone many say looks like her twin. But if history tells us anything, it probably won’t stay quiet for long.
