David Portnoy Produces Messages From His Accusers Casting Doubt On Business Insider Article

Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy produced messages from the women who accused him of rough-but-consensual sex in a Business Insider article earlier this month that cast doubt on the article’s central claims that Portnoy is an abuser.

In a livestream presented on Thursday, Portnoy showed messages from the women after their sexual encounter with him showing they either wanted to see him again or admitting that the narrative that the sex was somehow not consensual is false. The two accusers were given pseudonyms of Allison and Madison but Portnoy was able to figure out who they were based on bare details provided in the Business Insider article.

He produced messages from Allison where she told him: “really want to see you” and that she “would do anything.” After the two had sex, Allison again messaged Portnoy, asking what he was up to that day and asking “can we bang”? A day later, Portnoy asked her how the “bragging” went and Allison responded: “Amazing I got the word around too,” adding a winking emoji. She later said she was “in shock that ur still dming me [right now]… like whats up dave portnoy.”

As for the other accuser, Madison, Portnoy produced replies she made to comments on a TikTok video she made where she stated: “The article never said the sex wasn’t consensual” and “nobody said he was a rapist.”

Of course, the facts don’t matter in stories like this. The damage to Portnoy’s image is already done, and the reporter who wrote the story was rewarded with a staff position at Business Insider.

As The Daily Wire previously reported, Portnoy said he was suspended briefly from Twitter after posting a response he received from Business Insider editor-in-chief Nicholas Carlson. Portnoy had emailed Carlson asking him to appear on Portnoy’s podcast to discuss the article, but Carlson declined. Portnoy posted this response and says he was suspended from Twitter for 12 hours.

As The Daily Wire also reported, Portnoy went on Fox News Monday night to himself and say that “it’s guilty until proven innocent” in America these days.

“They won’t even discuss it. They print and run. They print and run. It’s disgusting and it’s character assassination,” Portnoy said. “My lawyers have said just let it go, it’ll go away. I’m not going to let it go because this is, this behavior, I’ve never been attacked like this. I’ve been attacked for two decades, but never escalated to
