Meet Renee Portnoy, David Portnoy’s Ex-Wife, who Still has Access to His Money
Renee Portnoy is David Portnoy’s estranged ex-wife. David Portnoy is an American businessman known for founding Barstool Sports, a blog website that publishes pop culture-related content and sports content. Renee and her ex-husband, David, were together from 2009 until 2017 when they decided to part ways. They went to seek divorce in a Massachusetts court, but it was denied in 2023. As such, they are still technically married.
Her Divorce From David Was Denied
It is funny how a court can deny a divorce to two people who do not want to be together anymore. This happened to Renee Portnoy and her then-husband David. The two had been married since 2007. However, in 2017, they decided to separate. As such, they went to court to seek a divorce, which was later denied because of financial issues.
Renee and David had made an agreement that Renee would take a certain amount of his money, but the court did not agree with the terms. The court wanted Renee to take half of David’s money, but she wanted just a portion. Given that the court denied them a divorce, the two are married, and Renee has access to David’s money. While talking in a podcast, David noted that Renee has access to all of his money, and if she wanted to take all the money, she could.
Marriage to David Portnoy
Renee and David met in the 2000s; when the two met, David was just starting his company Barstool Sports. At the time it was struggling, but Renee believed in David’s vision and she kept encouraging him. She was able to stick by him and after dating for a few years, the couple decided to make their relationship official. The two exchanged their wedding vows in 2009 and went on to live a happy life.
Renee and her ex-husband have not revealed the reasons leading to their separation. But the two are still on good terms, and this can be seen from the photos they share when sometimes spending time together. Their divorce petition might have been denied in Massachusetts, but they plan to divorce in Florida.
Life After Separation
Renee Portnoy seems to continue with her life despite her separation from David Portnoy. The two separated on good terms, and that explains why the two can get along. It is unclear if Renee is dating or not, as she has not made this information public.
Renee’s ex-husband, on the other hand, has been dating. He dated model Silvana Mojica for two years, but they separated in November 2023.
Controversies Surrounding Her Ex-Husband
Renee’s ex-husband has been the subject of several controversial issues. Over the past few years, he has made comments that have raised uproar on the internet. For instance, he received backlash in 2010 when he said that if you dress inappropriately, you deserve to be raped.
Over the years, he has also been subject to sexual assaults; three women came out in 2020 to claim that David had recorded them without consent. David defended himself, claiming that the sex was consensual.
