Dave Portnoy controversy explained: Brianna Chickenfry reacts to Amanda Batula and West Wilson leak drama.

Dave Portnoy is catching heat from his own Barstool Sports personality after allegedly exposing early gossip about Amanda Batula and West Wilson’s now-confirmed romance.

On Tuesday, April 1, 2026, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia called out her boss in a fiery “Get Ready With Me” TikTok video after Portnoy claimed she had told him about Amanda and West’s relationship back in February at the Super Bowl.

“And then my f–king dementia boss — I called him dementia Dave today,” LaPaglia, 26, said in the video. “He just aired all my s–t out online.”

She added that Portnoy, 49, “didn’t realize what he was doing,” but the slip-up resulted in her “getting a lot of calls” once the news broke.

The Timeline of the Gossip

Portnoy had previously claimed on his own platforms that LaPaglia spilled the tea about Amanda and West during Super Bowl weekend in February 2026. At the time, West was spotted with his ex Ciara Miller, sparking reconciliation rumors between them.

LaPaglia and West actually had a brief fling during Super Bowl weekend in 2025, adding another layer of awkwardness to the situation.

Just one day before the drama erupted, Amanda and West released a joint statement confirming they are dating, acknowledging that their connection grew out of a long-standing friendship and that they needed time to process things privately due to the “complicated relationship dynamics.”

Portnoy Doubles Down

Instead of backing off, Portnoy escalated the situation by going after Amanda directly. He called her “a villain, a liar and a treacherous snake” in a social media rant, claiming she was the “real criminal” in the scandal because she was best friends with Ciara Miller.

This comes as Ciara has reportedly been left “heartbroken” and “betrayed,” especially after sources claimed she had recently rekindled things with West.

Ciara unfollowed both Amanda and West shortly after their statement, and she was photographed looking distraught on a New York City sidewalk.

The Bigger Picture

The drama has consumed Summer House Season 10. Kyle Cooke and Amanda’s marriage has been crumbling on screen, highlighted by Kyle’s explosive meltdown in Episode 8 where he called Amanda a “fcking dumbass btch.” West was one of the first to comfort Amanda during that fight.

Now that Amanda and West’s relationship is officially confirmed, the fallout has extended far beyond the Hamptons house, pulling in Barstool personalities and creating awkward crossovers across Bravo and sports media.

LaPaglia’s public call-out of “Dementia Dave” has fans divided — some praising her for holding her boss accountable, others laughing at the chaotic Barstool energy.

As the Summer House cast continues filming and reacting to the news, one thing is clear: the Amanda-West romance confirmation has turned into one of the messiest off-screen scandals of the season.

Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock.
