In a fiery new video, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has launched a scathing attack against Kim Kardashian, accusing her of lying and manipulating Taylor Swift’s image. His outburst comes in response to Swift’s recent interview with TIME magazine, where she detailed the significant impact of the 2016 feud with Kardashian and Kanye West on her career and well-being.
Portnoy, a self-proclaimed longtime Taylor Swift supporter, fiercely defends her against the accusations of dishonesty stemming from the edited phone call with West. He refers to Kardashian as a “lying snake” and a “big booty woman,” demanding that she be held accountable for her actions.
He further criticizes Kardashian’s denial of editing the phone call, urging her to “shut up or own up to it.” He emphasizes his disgust towards “injustice, scumbags, and dishonest treacherous leaches,” clearly aligning himself with Swift in this ongoing conflict.
Swift, in her TIME interview, expressed the devastating impact of the situation, describing it as a “career death” and a source of immense psychological distress. She revealed moving to a foreign country, fearing phone calls, and pushing away loved ones due to the emotional turmoil.
Reflecting on the incident, Swift highlighted the two major events that profoundly affected her: the public cancellation and the loss of control over her work. She emphasized the importance of gratitude and resilience, vowing to continue creating art and focusing on the positive aspects of her career.
While advocating for herself, Swift maintained a mature stance, stating that she sees no point in actively trying to defeat her enemies, believing that “trash takes itself out every single time.”
Portnoy’s impassioned defense of Swift reignites the public discourse surrounding the 2016 feud and raises questions about accountability and the consequences of manipulation in the public eye. His video, while inflammatory in tone, amplifies Swift’s perspective and contributes to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the incident and its long-lasting effects.
