Overview
- Cooper, the Call Her Daddy host, posted screenshots of alleged Instagram DMs with Barstool personality Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia on Wednesday, arguing the messages undercut claims that she is a “mean girl.”
- LaPaglia replied on TikTok that she once admired Cooper but changed her view after hearing Earle’s account, calling Cooper “very mean” and saying it is not her story to tell.
- Barstool founder Dave Portnoy said he supports LaPaglia’s version in part, describing talks with Cooper about a Grace O’Malley interview and an agreement that O’Malley would not appear without LaPaglia.
- The back-and-forth follows Cooper’s April 13 TikTok urging Earle to detail their split, with Cooper saying no nondisclosure blocks her, and it draws on past rifts tied to O’Malley’s move to Cooper’s Unwell network and Earle’s 2025 exit.
- Earle has not delivered a full public account after commenting she was “on it,” leaving screenshots, short videos, and third-party claims to shape what fans know so far.
