The PlanBri Uncut podcast, hosted by Grace O’Malley and Brianna LaPaglia (also known as Brianna Chickenfry), has been canceled.
Fans are understandably disappointed that these two friends won’t be sharing their crazy stories or tackling random topics like “Can you drink while pregnant?”
However, some are upset, believing that Brianna abandoned Grace without a second thought.
So, what really led to the cancellation of PlanBri? What went down?
Why was the ‘PlanBri’ podcast canceled?
While Brianna hasn’t specified the exact reason for ending the PlanBri podcast, Grace clarified in December 2024 that the decision was “not a mutual one.”
The final episode of PlanBri aired in mid-October 2024, and since then, fans have been eagerly looking for answers about the show’s potential return or revamp.
In a detailed statement shared by TikTok user @l1vr0se, Grace explained that she had remained “radio silent” for months, hoping to issue a joint statement with Brianna.
However, after realizing things weren’t unfolding as planned, she felt the need to speak up.
Brianna reportedly mentioned she was “working on bringing back some version” of PlanBri, which was the first time Grace had heard about any changes.
This sparked speculation among fans that Brianna might have been a bit shady towards her “best friend.”
To ensure her perspective was heard, Grace decided it was “only fair to share my piece about all this jazz with you now.”
While she acknowledged that “everything’s so weird and unfamiliar at the moment,” she also reflected on the joys of this chapter in her life, including the chance to work with her best friend.
“It has truly been a dream job, and I’m eternally grateful to both Brianna and Barstool for giving me the opportunity to work on such a fantastic show with an even better team.”
Still, she admitted that over the past year, she had been holding back: “I’ve bit my tongue so much that I shouldn’t have one anymore.”
Grace O’Malley never envisioned that ‘PlanBri’ would come to an end.
It seems Grace wasn’t aware of any plans for a new version of PlanBri or that she didn’t “foresee any of this EVER ending.”
While she might not go into specifics, she confirmed she’ll still be with Barstool, saying, “When it comes to chit-chatting on a weekly basis, I’ll be right back.”
After Grace posted her statement, Brianna responded on social media, clarifying that Grace wasn’t “blindsided” by the podcast ending but rather “blindsided when I said I was working on bringing it back.”
TikToker @e_roy shared Brianna’s Stories post, where she explained that they didn’t release a joint statement because they were both busy with their own commitments.
She also mentioned that she’s “working on a time to make one last podcast, closing out on a positive note for you all.”
