Dave Portnoy starts \u201cTikTok war\u201d with Nessa Barrett & Chase Hudson fans Instagram: Josh Richards\/ Instagram: Nessa BarrettBarstool Sports\u2019 president Dave Portnoy has claimed he is \u201cin the middle of a TikTok war\u201d after the release of his new podcast with Josh Richards sent fans into a frenzy. [jwplayer XgyhEjM5] On Tuesday, Dave and Sway house member Josh Richards released the first episode of their new podcast BFFs in which they spoke about TikTok and many of the app\u2019s biggest stars. The hosts were quick to slam and shade other creators including Chase Hudson who Dave said \u201cdressed like an a**hole,\u201d and Nessa Barrett who, Dave claimed, found her fame through dating Josh Richards. Fans of Nessa Barrett were very quick to come to her defense after Dave\u2019s comments, and fired a barrage of insults his way, some of which Dave shared to Twitter. One comment Dave received on Instagram said: \u201cYou\u2019re a disgrace to the world & you belong in a graveyard with your president. You\u2019re literally bored and look like a r**ist so I guess you just hate on random girls that are 18.\u201d Another fan direct messaged Portnoy and wrote, \u201cAre you tired of waiting for someone to pick you up and take you to a nursing home?\u2026 You are like 60-70 trying to start beef with an 18-year-old girl, sit down.\u201d Fucking Vinny where you at! I\u2019m getting killed out here! pic.twitter.com\/eLso2dUOhR \u2014 Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) October 14, 2020 Portnoy made light of the situation, tweeting a video of a comic fight from a film with faces of the personalities involved superimposed onto the characters. He added \u201cThey are coming at me from all angles! I don\u2019t even know what they are mad about but my a** is in the jackpot.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/stoolpresidente\/status\/1316193555736649728?s=20 Hype House member Alex Warren also came in with an attack via Instagram, saying \u201cWhat is wrong with all these interviewers? Says Chase dresses like an a**hole, then proceeds to be an a**hole.\u201d In the midst of the drama, Nessa Barrett\u2019s former manager at Talent X, Michael Gruen, weighed in with his own opinion on an Instagram fan page for the star, defending Josh and writing \u201cthere\u2019s this thing called a joke\u2026 a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline.\u201d https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGTDPIQHoFL\/ Micheal later added, \u201cI must\u2019ve missed the memo that Nessa \u2013 or anyone for that matter \u2013 deserves \u2018the world\u2019. The earth is inhabited by ~7B people\u2026last I checked Nessa is just one of them (along with myself and everyone else).\u201d Nessa has not spoken out about the drama surrounding the podcast, but she has unfollowed Micheal Gruen on Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
