Revenge is a dish best served HOT, apparently!
Brianna Chickenfry just made her debut on the digital cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! The cover launched on Wednesday, and it was a big moment for the BFFs podcaster because it’s something her ex-boyfriend Zach Bryan probably never would have allowed! In fact, she told the magazine that she was set to host the Sports Illustrated 60th anniversary red carpet last year, but her boyfriend argued it was a “trashy” event. Oof.

She has claimed he was emotionally abusive and at times controlling over her attire, so yeah, it’s not surprising he didn’t like this. Now, though? She said this is her big “f**k you” to him! She dished:
“[The photo shoot] is just, on a petty level, my favorite f**k you. This is me, and I wanted to do this, and now I’m on the digital cover.”
Hell yeah, she is! And she looks AMAZING on it, too!
We mean… YOWZA!
But it’s also about something even more meaningful for her, the Barstool Sports personality explained:
“It’s a lot more than me looking quote-unquote hot in a swimsuit — it’s me reclaiming who I am as a woman, reclaiming my body and my decisions and my choices.”
The social media star, who has lost a lot of weight due to the stress of the romance, continued:
“This cover is me being me again and taking control of my life. This is my body; my body isn’t that experience, and even though I’m not 100% in it right now, this is me. This doesn’t have anything to do with anybody else.”
Elsewhere in the candid conversation, the PlanBri Uncut host discussed the “pressure” of being a role model for other women following this difficult split, sharing:
“I think people do tend to forget I’m just 25. It’s really overwhelming to feel the pressure of being a role model on top of everything in my life being very public, because at the end of the day, I’m still just a girl trying to figure her life out.”
Well, she’s got a lot going for her right now! Ch-ch-check out more from her stunning photoshoot (below).
