Barstool’s Dave Portnoy Accused Of Violent Encounters With Women
Barstool Sports boss Dave Portnoy is no stranger to controversy. His entire brand has been built on seeking it out, embracing it, and coming out stronger on the other side.
That said, this week Portnoy became involved in a storm that is unlike others he has dealt with in the past.
Rather than feuding with fellow sports personalities or social media platforms, Portnoy now finds himself at odds with a number of young women making some very serious accusations.
The sort of accusations that may even make his most ardent fans uncomfortable.
On Thursday, Business Insider released a troubling story that alleged Portnoy had engaged in multiple violent sexual encounters with young women.
The article also referenced troubling points regarding the overall culture that permeates around Barstool and sometimes targets the brand’s more ardent critics.
Portnoy wasted no time going on the offensive.

Portnoy’s various violent sex tapes are a matter of public record. They’ve leaked out with such regularity that they’re hardly surprising at this point. Even the women in them have been the subject of scrutiny as a result of how viral they went.
But something about these most recent accusations hit certain folks a little different. The backlash on social media to the Business Insider article has been swift.
None of this should shock anyone. Dave Portnoy is an absolute piece of shit. Stop supporting him and Barstool.https://t.co/MbHCgUBwyu via @businessinsider

Because the age difference is fucking weird and Sebastian is illustrating that point. Are you seriously this dense, Michelin? Why do so many bros make excuses for scumbags like Portnoy? It’s bizarre.

Will Portnoy and Barstool Sports at large ultimately be impacted by the backlash? Will there even be any lasting backlash this time around? Time will tell.
