Barstool owner Dave Portnoy is practically giddy over the news that his much-hated rival, Henry Blodget, is stepping down as CEO of Insider.
Portnoy held an “emergency press conference” poolside at X to discuss the announcement.
“I don’t know if you heard the news today,” Portnoy said as he puffed on a celebratory cigar. “My man, Henry Blodget, at Business Insider. Patched above. See you CEO!”
“That’s right, Henry, you bloody King Blodget.” it continued. “It’s going to be a long time coming.”

Portnoy’s animosity toward Blodget stems from what he calls a “hit piece.” he ran about him in which the publication, citing several women, accused the Barstool Sports founder of unwanted rough sex.
According to the women’s claims, Portnoy filmed the women without their permission as they engaged in sexual acts and went so far as to suffocate them.
“It was so hard I felt like I was being raped, he videotaped me and spit in my mouth and choked me so hard I couldn’t breathe,” one of the alleged victims wrote in messages seen by Insider . “And it hurt and I was literally screaming in pain.”
Portnoy has vehemently denied the allegations. He filed a lawsuit against Insider, but it was later dismissed, the New York Post reports
According to Portnoy, Blodget is “a thief” who stole “your grandma’s money” and “stole health care” from his employees.
Blodget is “the guy who tried to run me out of town with a hit piece because that’s what they did to Business Insider,” Portnoy said.
“They tried to get cheap clicks, fake stories,” he added. “That guy’s gone. Out.”
And Portnoy was ready to celebrate.
In one of his many homes, in one of his many wineries, he claimed, is a bottle of Dom Perignon Vintage 2010 with Blodget’s name on it, a gesture Portnoy makes for all his enemies, according to The Post.
“But for now, Henry, piece of shit, kicked up… you’ve been kicked out,” Portnoy said. “They changed the name of the company from Insider to Business Insider because your little game of trying to screw people over and being the thief and scoundrel and piece of shit that you’ve been, you’re all bullshit. * life of king, small, small and idiot.
“Blodget, 57, will serve as chairman of the rebranded Business Insider when Barbara Peng, who previously served as the outlet’s president, takes over as CEO,” The Post reports.
“It’s game over,” Portnoy said. “They said, ‘Get out of here!'”
“Meanwhile,” he quipped, “I bought my company back for a dollar and I have 9,000 houses.”
“So there you go, Henry,” Portnoy toasted, popping a bottle of bubbly. “Shit shit.”
“Karma is a bitch,” he said as he took a sip. “Taylor Swift said this.”
“Another one bites the dust.”
AX, many were ready to raise a drink with their Barstool friend.
