“Karma Is a B*tch”: Echoing Taylor Swift, Dave Portnoy Cheers as CEO Henry Blodgett Steps Down

Time and again, Dave Portnoy has shown that he doesn’t hold back on his opinions. And that is not just limited to Michigan and football. Moving away from the sporting world, recently, a media house and its CEO caught his attention. The house is going through some ups and downs of late. The constantly shifting corporate landscape threw the media house into unrest.

The CEO of the online media outlet Insider (Earlier Business Insider), Henry Blodgett has stepped down from his role. His departure came as some changes were going on in the company he founded about 15 years ago. Meanwhile, his dropping off of the role was cheered by none other than Dave Portnoy.

Dave Portnoy takes a dig, ‘Swift’ly

Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, took to X recently for an “Emergency Press Conference” to let his views on “Henry Blodgett got fired”. In a video posted on Twitter, Portnoy gleefully announced the news of Blodgett stepping down. He even went as far as to call him a “piece of sh*t”. He accused Blodgett of being a crook and stealing from people and expressed his satisfaction at seeing him leave his position.

In his signature scathing words, Portnoy made his dislike for Blodget quite clear. Interestingly, even in that, he did not miss playing his swiftie role. Portnoy borrowed Taylor Swift’s song ‘Karma’ to take a dig at Blodget. Giving the song a signature Portnoy twist, he said, “Karma is a b*tch, Taylor Swift said that.” But what all is going on in the online media outlet?

The chaos around the online media outlet

The departure of Blodgett has caused quite a stir in the corporate world, especially considering the recent changes at Insider. The company recently reverted to its original name, Business Insider, a move that coincided with Blodgett stepping down from his role as CEO. The changes at Insider have raised many questions about the future direction of the company.

Meanwhile, Barbara Peng will take over the top job from Blodget. According to reports, reverting back to the previous name is a strategy by Peng in an effort to improve the standing of the media outlet as a reliable source of business and tech news. Blodget will become the board’s chair as part of the leadership shuffle.

“I’m excited to be launching new projects with Business Insider and Axel Springer in the years ahead,” he was quoted as saying by Reuters. As the dust settles, it will be interesting to see how Insider moves forward and what the future holds for Blodgett.
