Ex-Barstool Host Leaves After Fallout with Friend

Grace O'Malley, former co-host of the "PlanBri Uncut" podcast, has left Barstool Sports. This comes after a tough end to her 20-year friendship with co-host Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia. The friendship ended over LaPaglia's decision to end their podcast, and other personal issues. LaPaglia pointed out that O'Malley didn't support her through a difficult relationship, which hurt their friendship. This feud has sparked a lot of online drama. Dave Portnoy, Barstool's founder, addressed the situation recently. He clarified that he didn’t force O'Malley out, and that he was in a difficult position between the two friends. He explained that LaPaglia wanted to end the podcast due to issues with O'Malley. Portnoy tried to support O'Malley by offering her a new podcast, but things got tense when O'Malley publicly shared her side of the story. O'Malley ended up quitting Barstool, calling the situation "toxic. " Portnoy respected her decision and wished her the best.
