Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia is calling out Dave Portnoy for spilling a little too much tea.
“My f***ing dementia boss — I called him Dementia Dave today. He just aired out all my s*** online,” LaPaglia, 26, said via TikTok on Tuesday, March 31. “I genuinely don’t think he understood what he was doing, but yeah, I was getting a lot of calls today.”
Earlier in the day, Portnoy, 49, made headlines when he reacted to Summer House stars Amanda Batula and West Wilson confirming their romance.
When sharing a link to an article about the new couple, Portnoy claimed via X, “Yawn. Chickenfry told me this at the SuperBowl. Old news.”
Summer House star West Wilson has apparently been getting closer to Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia over Super Bowl Weekend. “I’m not dating her. We’re hanging out,” Wilson, 28, told reporter Adam Glyn at a pre-Super Bowl party on Saturday, February 8. “I think we made out last night, so, it’s cool [and] it’s good.” LaPaglia, 25, […]
As Bravo fans tried to confirm his timeline claim, LaPaglia simply wished her boss would be quiet.
“If anyone’s near Dave Portnoy right now, can we just take his f***ing phone away from him?” she asked in a separate TikTok. “Thank you.”
On Tuesday, Amanda, 34, and West, 31, responded to growing online speculation that they could be more than just friends and costars.

“Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care,” the pair said in a joint statement via their Instagram Stories. “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
According to Portnoy, he had no idea that his one post on X would add so much fuel to the fire.
“This story is breaking and at the Super Bowl, Briana Chickenfry told me this. ‘Oh, West is hooking up with Amanda. It’s going to be a big story,’” he claimed via X. “I’ve never watched Summer House. My understanding is it’s a bunch of people who have a timeshare. … Gossip queen Dave, even when he’s not in the game, just trying to get his tan on, getting old and watching the Red Sox every night, he’s still somehow in the middle of this gossip.”
Even Bravo’s biggest reality stars are shocked by the drama surrounding the cast of Summer House. The Internet lit up when Amanda Batula confirmed her romance with BFF and costar Ciara Miller’s ex-boyfriend West Wilson. “Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a […]
While LaPaglia may have wished her colleague had stayed quiet, Portnoy said that he’s thinking about sharing his opinion on more hot topics in entertainment.
Perhaps his closest friends should be warned not to spill the beans about some topics.
“I’m debating starting a new series called #beachgossip,” he wrote via X on Wednesday, April 1. “However, myself and the audience need to sign a social contract first about acceptable and not acceptable hazing.”
