A man shouted antisemitic comments at Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy outside of a pizza shop in Mississippi on Friday.
The incident occurred while the celebrity influencer was filming a segment of his popular “One Bite Pizza Reviews” YouTube video series. As he was exiting Boardtown Pizza in Starkville offering his take on pizza as the cameras were rolling, a man off camera can be heard yelling “Hey, f**k the Jews.”
He also apparently threw coins in the direction of Portnoy, which can be heard in the video (throwing coins while making antisemitic remarks invokes the false stereotype associating Jews with money, greed and financial manipulation).

I'm sure many will sweep this incident under the rug. "Oh, well, he wasn't hurt physically," or "Oh, but how do you know a Jew wasn't the one… pic.twitter.com/osX1DkDhj6
The crowd reacted with immediate disgust at the remarks, with “Get out of here” heard. One woman off camera said, “That was awful.”
Portnoy walked over to confront the man and participated in an inaudible verbal exchange while another man got ahead of Portnoy, physically kept the offender at a distance and ensured he left the area. A man could then be heard shouting expletives at the antisemite while Portnoy walked back to the front of the establishment.
The 48-year-old Jewish-American businessman and social media personality faced similar antisemitic abuse while filming in Toronto on June 2, when someone yelled the same expletive: “F**k the Jews.”
Portnoy condemned an antisemitic sign displayed during bottle service at his Philadelphia bar on May 3, which resulted in the immediate suspension of a Temple University student and the termination of bar staff involved.
Portnoy offered to send the students on an educational trip to Auschwitz, but publicly revoked the invitation for at least one student who denied responsibility, asserting his commitment to accountability amid a national surge in antisemitism.
