While standing outside a pizzeria filming a review video for his successful show "One Bite Pizza Review," Jewish American billionaire and internet celebrity Dave Portnoy became a victim of an antisemitic act when a passerby shouted at him that "F*ck the Jews," threw coins at him, and then directed the same wish toward Portnoy himself.
The video capturing the antisemitic outburst rapidly went viral and generated millions of views on X and thousands of comments ranging from shock over the act and how antisemitic actions have become commonplace. "I have never witnessed antisemitism like this in my life. It's becoming overt, and it's coming from both sides. Israeli politics have always been complex, but this open antisemitism is simply insane," one follower tweeted in response to the video in one of the threads that developed on X.

"The man promotes gambling to teenagers through addictive games. Why should anyone sympathize with him?" one user posted against him, while others added that the person who shouted the curses at him is entitled to do so because his words are protected under free speech. "He's doing a pizza review. There's a time and place for everything," another user added. "This isn't the time or place. Let the man review his pizzas in peace." "It's time for Jews to stand up and fight back. The only way to defeat a bully is to confront them," one user wrote, and another added, "I'm not Jewish and all this antisemitism fills me with anger and helplessness. Sometimes I want to yell at them, sometimes I want to hit them. I can't imagine what our Jewish brothers and sisters feel."
This isn't the first time Portnoy (48), the owner of the successful website Barstool Sports, has found himself "starring" online due to incidents tainted with antisemitism. Last June, while filming a pizza review video for his show in Toronto, Canada, he encountered an attack similar to what he had just experienced when a passerby shouted exactly the same antisemitic curse at him. A month earlier, in May, two employees at his sports bar were fired after learning they waved a sign that said, "F*ck the Jews."
