Renee Portnoy Married life & Divorce with Husband
Renee Portnoy and her ex-husband David Portnoy got married in 2009. They had an engagement one year earlier in 2008. Their marriage would, unfortunately, get the ‘celebrity curse’ of being very short. In 2016, David was spotted with another woman. The internet started buzzing with rumors, and David took to his blog to lay down the facts.
David announced that he was no longer with his wife in January of 2017 on his blog, giving his fans a mini heart attack. It is because the readers of Barstool Sports very much loved Renee as she was the founder’s wife. As aforementioned, they had even affectionately named her their First Lady.

After a while, David again took to his blog and waged war upon Jordyn Hamilton. He accused her of cheating on him. As it turns out, Jordyn was cheating on David with her instructor at Soul Cycle. David’s fans rallied behind him and poured their wrath upon Jordyn, Soul Cycle, and her instructor.
