Grace O'Malley's Response To Brianna Chickenfry's Cringe "Tell-All" Is Iconic

I think I speak for basically every chronically online Gen Z and Zillennial girl when I say: We need a Grace O’Malley tell-all immediately. A podcast. A documentary. A chapter book-length statement. Anything!! Please! The people of TikTok heard Brianna Chickenfry’s side of the friendship drama during her BFFs tell-all episode, and they have, um, not exactly taken Bri’s side (that’s possibly the largest understatement of the century). TikTokers are convinced that Bri repeatedly prioritized her abusive ex, Zach Bryan, over Grace — even after he allegedly bullied Grace. And folks who listened to the episode also didn’t love how Bri took full credit for Grace’s success and acted like Grace owes her. A cringe as hell moment indeed. I fear everyone wants to hear Grace’s side of the story because we’ve all been the Grace before. I know I have. Grace has yet to release a “tell-all” per se, but she did recently weigh in on the drama and take some action.

Here’s Grace O’Malley’s response (so far) to Brianna Chickenfry’s BFFs tell-all episode about their friendship. Prepare yourself to laugh, sob, and applaud.

Grace O’Malley’s Jokes About Brianna Chickenfry Friend Breakup

Grace joked about the friend breakup in a recent comedy set, and she really didn’t hold back. “Sorry if I’m not myself tonight, I’m going through a divorce,” the comedian started. “It’s a very common type of divorce with only a few minor differences. For example, it’s not a marriage, it was a 15-year friendship.” The crowd gasped and so did I.

“She’s not keeping the house, she’s keeping the podcast,” Grace continued. “And when it came to the kids, we took a very progressive approach. Instead of doing shared custody, we’re letting the kids decide who they want to go with.” (Obviously, she’s aware that ~the kids~ are literally all going with her, with the exception of one or two pick me’s.)

Grace joked that she’s “handling this” mess the same way her dad would have “if my parents could afford a divorce.” She said she’s “just kinda bottling my emotions and picking up a bottle” — and then chugged a beer as the audience cheered. Personally, when I have friendship breakups, I cry and blast Demi Lovato’s “Don’t Forget” on repeat. It’s honestly a very effective coping mechanism.

Was Grace O’Malley Fired From Barstool?

On December 16, Grace hit us with another major Insta statement. “I wanted you guys to hear from me first that this is my last day at Barstool,” she announced, adding, “I’m so grateful to everyone at the company and to Dave for taking a chance on me. I’m just as surprised as you are there are no typos in this statement.” While some concerned fans wondered if Grace was fired because of the whole “surprised” part, I think she was just surprised at the lack of typos.

Dave clarified that Grace made the choice to quit. He shared receipts — a friendly text exchange between him and Grace about her departure. “Sucks but I get it,” he texted her. “You’ll be good without us and wish you nothing but good luck.” She thanked him for his support the last few years.

Grace O’Malley Joined Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network

A couple days after she officially left Barstool, Grace switched to Alex Cooper’s team!! She’s the newest Unwell Network girlie, so I think we can expect a solo podcast soon.
