Not him.
The never-ending saga between Zach Bryan and Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry (whose real name is Brianna LaPaglia) continues today, following Bri’s viral “Bitin’ List” TikTok video and Bryan’s fiery response yesterday. And somehow, Tyler Childers has gotten thrown into the mix, but first, a little more backstory on how we got here.
Tyler released his new album Snipe Hunter less than two weeks ago, and one of the early favorites is “Bitin’ List,” a wild song about the people he doesn’t like and who he would bite first if he ever got rabies. It’s catchy as hell and has become a full blown meme where people share the song and who/what they hate. It’s really the perfect type of song to go viral on TikTok, although, something tells me Tyler isn’t on TikTok too often… more on that in a second.
Zach and and his ex-wife, Rose Madden, got married back in 2020, before getting divorced only a year later. While she hasn’t said anything explicitly about her ex, Brianna Chickenfry, his most famous and content-hungry ex, has talked about how close her and Rose have become and how much they relate to each other, so I think it’s safe to say Rose feels pretty much the same way about Zach as Brianna does.
When Rose posted a “Bitin’ List” TikTok, it ignited a firestorm of speculation on the platform that it was directed at Zach.

Zach’s other ex Deb Peifer, who Bryan dated before getting into a relationship with Brianna Chickenfry, also shared a video of herself lip-syncing to “Bitin’ List.” After the post went up, it took no time for fans to think that she was also insinuating that Zach Bryan is on her “Bitin’ List.”

So of course, last but not least, Miss Chickenfry got in on it last week too, but took it a step further… sharing her video while being much more obvious about who it was about, as she was wearing merch from the song “Smallest Man,” which her BFF’s podcast co-host Josh Richards and Barstool boss Dave Portnoy recorded in the wake of all the breakup drama. Brianna has not stopped talking about the breakup for months now, and so I’m not surprised at all to see her get in on this trend, especially after the other two did it, but she really took it a step further with the t-shirt and made it very clear who she was talking about… even though I don’t think anyone would’ve questioned it either way:

Zach, who is back on X and recently started slinging a little social media mud of his on, shared a video on his Instagram stories of him lighting a “Saturday’s Are For The Boys” flag on fire, which is of course one of Barstool’s signature phrases. Obviously, considering Brianna works there, I think this was aimed at her more than any of the other exes, because she has been so vocal about him and obviously has a huge platform:
Brianna already shared a few stories in response on Instagram, but it was on her TikTok account that she really let it rip on her ex, calling him an “evil villain” and saying how strange she thought it was that he woke up with the “urge to burn something.”
I mean, to be fair… didn’t she fire the first shot? She certainly did…
I’m starting to think they might never move on because this just keeps going months later:
“I’ve never woken up and, like, had the urge to burn something. I don’t think… I don’t think that’s normal. Have you guys ever woken up and been like, I have to burn something right now. Or else, I don’t know, I’m going to implode if I don’t burn something and light it on fire and cause chaos and mass destruction. No, evil villains do that.”

But because Tyler’s song is involved, and his management-operated TikTok account reposted Rose’s video, as well as many others, people are speculating about if he and Zach actually do have any beef, and some fans thought he might have commented on Zach’s story with his official Instagram account… but it was just a fake account with a totally different username. Tyler Childers’ official IG is @timmytychilders, and this account is @tylerchilders.
I’ve seen a large number of comments online, and even TikTok videos, where people are saying how Tyler commented on this, but to set the record straight, he certainly did not:
Here’s an example… and I’m sure there were tons of other people who saw it online and thought the same thing:

I’m not even sure Tyler knows about any of this, not even one detail, because he doesn’t run his social media accounts, and honestly, why on Earth would he even care in the slightest about this dumb saga? He just put out a great record and has a life… being a dad and husband, staying off of social media, the dream. He’s out there in Kentucky just hunting in that massive blind he has.
I know that being on social media and revealing things about her personal life is how Brianna makes a living, so Zach putting out stuff like that only, quite literally I guess, adds fuel to her fire so once again, I say, I don’t see this fully ending anytime soon, unfortunately.
