Barstool Sports co-founder Dave Portnoy is being accused by women as young as 19 of ‘violent and humiliating sex’ that left one partner feeling like she’d been raped, according to a report.
Two former bedmates of 44 year-old Portnoy – who has been linked to three sex tapes – said he filmed them without consent, choked them, and spat at them, Business Insider reported.
Portnoy is vehemently denying the claims, saying he was the victim of an eight-month witch hunt by the publication.
A woman identified under the pseudonym Madison, who was 20 at the time of the encounter, told the outlet she connected with Portnoy after messaging him on Instagram and later told him she fantasized about being raped.
‘You and I are going to get along so well,’ he reportedly responded.

Portnoy posted a video on Twitter to address the claims, saying the sex was '100 percent consensual' and that 'there was no weirdness' after the hookups
He bought her a first-class plane ticket to visit him in Nantucket, where she said they shared pizza and she performed oral sex on him.
She told the outlet that he began videotaping the intimate moment without permission.
‘I never said anything,’ she said. ‘I was scared.
‘He was just so mean.’
The pair also had sex, and Business Insider shared an alleged text exchange between Madison and a friend after the hook up.

It 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.’
Madison added: ‘It was so painful. I kept trying to get away and he was like, “Stop running away from me. Stop running away from me.”’
She said he ‘went harder’ after she protested.
Another woman told Business insider that she too was choked and videotaped during sex without consent.
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 woman who was 19 when she had sex with Portnoy said the fling left her feeling suicidal
Another woman identified under the moniker Allison told Business Insider she was hospitalized with suicidal thoughts after having a fling with Portnoy inside his Nantucket house when she was 19.
‘He leaned in and started kissing me and I didn't know what to do at that point,’ she told the publication. ‘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.’
The woman claimed Portnoy chocked 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 two photos – a selfie with she and Portnoy and a snap of her leaving the house – soon circulated around the island community, exposing their fling.
‘I guess it was kind of my breaking point," Allison told a reporter.
She was hospitalized three nights later suffering from mental health issues, but says she does not consider her encounter with Portnoy a sexual assault.
