Dave Portnoy in the Hot Seat

Not everyone is a fan of Dave Portnoy, but the ringmaster himself has denied any wrongdoing and stands his ground.

Allegations that have surfaced and were released against him have left many in disbelief as they believe this was just an attack on The King. These allegations could be for personal gain and possible book deals from others who want their 10 minutes of fame. If you can take down a big fish in 2021, a small bounty can be claimed.

Portnoy posted two videos to Twitter on Thursday, defending himself and denying the allegations. He accused insiders of drafting a “hit piece” against him in an apparent effort at getting publicity for themselves by any means necessary— even if it meant manufacturing lies from thin air!

Is Dave Portnoy just another Andrew Cuomo? The answer seems to be that the two men do not seem very similar, and there is no real substance behind their claims.

Could Dave Portnoy be forced to leave his office as CEO of his Barstool Sports following scandals involving multiple sexual assault charges against him? Could Portnoy sink as low as a sexual predator like Andrew Cuomo?

Usually, it’s just government officials who receive allegations, including the situation where they they coerced an employee into sex at knife point after making her withdraw money from ATMs on behalf of them. Government officials usually have much more devious baggage.

Dave claimed there are people out to get him for some reason; however, the story about this whole situation is why you see so many articles written by reporters trying desperately hard to fit something into what happened. Portinoy’s Twitter video is very transparent. There has never been an Andrew Cuomo video about his encounters on the social media platforms.
