Bethenny Frankel has some harsh words for Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.
Portnoy, 46, called Vanderpump Rules star Raquel Leviss, 29, “a trash bag” as reports surfaced that the two were romantically linked when they were both spotted at the same coffee shop in the small town of Cary, Illinois .
“I can confirm that I have never met this trash bag in my life and it is extremely offensive to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her,” Portnoy said wrote on Twitter on November 24th
The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 53, texted him afterwards and asked him to apologize, according to Page Six.
But Portnoy doesn’t see why he should apologize, telling his best friend on his podcast Wednesday, “Why? What have I said about her that no one has said a million times?”
Bethenny Frankel asked Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy to apologize after he called 29-year-old Vanderpump Rules star Rachel Leviss a “bag of trash.”
Last week, reports surfaced suggesting the two were romantically linked when they were both spotted at the same coffee shop in the small town of Cary, Illinois
“I can confirm that I have never met this trash bag in my life and it is extremely offensive to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her,” Portnoy wrote on Twitter on November 24 in response to a query from Page Six
Based on the tone he took on his podcast, it is unlikely that he apologized to Leviss or Frankel.
The rumor about the social media entrepreneur, who refers to himself as “El Presidente,” and the former beauty queen surfaced after it was confirmed that Portnoy had split from his girlfriend Silvana Mojica after two years of dating.
“It’s kind of wild as I just had a breakup, which is hard enough without hearing that I fucked this lady.” [Leviss]he told Page Six.
He also offered Page Six an alibi for the time he reportedly came into contact with Leviss, sharing a picture of it on Instagram with the words, “I ate pizza at Uncle Jerry’s.” [Pizza Company] However, by the way, it was spectacular and got an 8.3.’
Portnoy strives to try every pizzeria in the U.S. and provides an individual review for each restaurant.
Leviss has largely disappeared from the spotlight since it was revealed that she was having an affair with Tom Sandoval, 40, behind the back of his girlfriend of nine years, Ariana Madix, 38.
After the scandal called “Scandoval”, she decided not to continue with the show after completing a stay in a psychiatric facility.
Now the former beauty queen doesn’t speak to any of the actors.
Portnoy doesn’t understand why he should apologize, telling his best friend on his podcast Wednesday, “Why? What have I said about her that no one has said a million times?”
Last month, Rachel revealed that she had said some “triggering” things from Sandoval and raised $14,800 to donate to the National Alliance of Mental Illness.
The reality TV personality earned $5,300 for a lightning bolt necklace and $9,500 for the two hoodies, for a total of $14,800, her rep told People.
Leviss wore the infamous lightning necklace during her months-long affair with Sandoval last year.
While discussing the memorabilia she listed on eBay, the TV personality confessed that she never wants to “see” or “wear” them again.
Bethenny Frankel wants Dave Portnoy to apologize to Rachel Leviss for “garbage bag” comment (but he doesn’t understand why he should!)
