Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy accused of choking two women during sex and filming them without consent
BARSTOOL Sports founder Dave Portnoy last night furiously hit back at allegations he choked two young women during rough sex and filmed them without consent.
The media tycoon, 44, slammed a "hit piece" article describing the encounters and claimed he has a "target on my back" because of his support for Donald Trump.
Portnoy insisted sex with the women was "100 per cent consensual" in a ten-minute Twitter video posted in response to a story by Business Insider.
A woman identified by the pseudonym Madison told the publication she was left "screaming in pain" as she begged him to stop.
She said she was 20 when she began messaging with him on Instagram.
During their sexy chat, she is said to have told him she fantasized about being raped – and he allegedly replied: "You and I are going to get along so well".
Madison said he flew her first class to his home in Nantucket, where she claims he made her feel "like a human sex doll".
She said he began filming without her permission as she performed a sex act.
Madison said: "I never said anything. I was scared. He was just so mean."
The pair also had intercourse.
Madison said: "It was so painful. I kept trying to get away and he was like, 'Stop running away from me'."
She said he "just went harder" after she protested.
Later she sent texts to a friend describing what happened, reports Business Insider.
The texts said: "It was so rough I felt like I was being raped he video taped me and spit in my mouth and choked me so hard I couldn't breathe.
"And it hurt and I was literally screaming in pain."
'REALLY AGGRESSIVE'
Another woman claimed she was also choked and videoed without consent during sex with Portnoy.
She said she didn't want to elaborate for fear of retaliation.
"I know how he is when someone goes after him," she told the outlet.
A third woman said she ended up in hospital with suicidal depression after meeting Portnoy at his home when she was 19.
The teenager, using the name Allison, said: "He leaned in and started kissing me and I didn't know what to do at that point.
"And we went upstairs and he was really aggressive and I didn't know what to do and we had sex and that was it and he kicked me out."
She claimed Portnoy choked her during sex and repeatedly spat in her mouth.
"I was kind of scared," she said. "I didn't want to disappoint him."
She said she does not consider the encounter a sexual assault.
But she spent three nights in hospital after photos of her leaving Portnoy's house circulated among the island community, exposing their fling.
"I guess it was kind of my breaking point," Allison said.
All three woman said they were intimidated by Portnoy's army of fans, who call themselves Stoolies and idolise the mogul as "El Presidente".
'PEOPLE F***ING HATE ME'
Portnoy himself has been accused of encouraging misogyny and racism through the brash sports and lifestyle blog Barstool Sports – which he built into a $450million brand.
Last night he hit back at the report, claiming he was the victim of an eight-month "witch hunt" in a video on Twitter.
He said he has “never done anything weird with a girl, ever, never anything remotely nonconsensual.”
He said female friends and past girlfriends had warned him a journalist had been trying to dig up dirt on his sex life, but he was confident he had done nothing wrong.
Portnoy said: "'This reporter had an agenda from day one. From the second she picked up paper it took her eight months."
He added: "People f***ing hate me because I interviewed Trump or I go on Tucker Carlson.
"The woke cancel culture wants to cancel me. This is the next escalation and they're like, oh he wrote a rape joke in 2010, which I wouldn't do now.
"He made a video at a porn convention, he must be a rapist and let's just dig up every rock and I'm scared now. I'm scared because they're asking for more.
"They're asking the internet, tell us bad stories about Dave Portnoy. Well guess what? A lot of f***ing people hate me."
The tycoon and Fox News trading pundit said he felt "terrible" that Allison had suffered depression, but she never gave any hint he'd made her uncomfortable.
He shared direct messages he says prove they stayed on good terms and she continued to ask to meet him after the encounter at his house.
'100% FALSE'
On Madison's allegations, Portnoy said: "At no point was it not 100 per cent consensual, at no point did she ask me to stop.
"At no point did either of us think something unseemly happened. There was no weirdness after, it was totally fine."
He added he was concerned people would now brand him a rapist, but the allegation is "100 per cent false".
Barstool told Forbes the company will “take this matter seriously”, but added it is “not in the business of managing our employees’ personal lives”.
A company attorney also told Insider the women's claims were “highly misleading” and included “half-truths”.
Portnoy – who has has a string of high-profile girlfriends – has previously been open about his sex life.
Earlier this year a leaked sex tape showed him naked and leading a young Instagram model by a dog leash.
The tape – his third – caused shares in his company to plunge but he said it was "no big deal".
Portnoy said: "A stock is down because somebody has consensual sex? Are you f***ing kidding me?"
He adding: "It’s a little weird and kinky. But you gotta spice it up. You can’t be boring."
Model Sydney Raines, 22, said she had "no regrets" about the encounter.
