Dave Portnoy finds the mention “insulting”

When approached by a Page Six journalist for comment on the pair’s presence in Cary on the same day, Dave Portnoy shut down the rumors swiftly. He took to X and wrote, “My official statement: I can confirm I’ve never met that trash bag in my life and it’s wildly insulting to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her. I was eating pizza at Uncle Jerry’s though, which was spectacular by the way, and got an 8.3.”

A few weeks after his trip to Cary, Dave Portnoy and longtime girlfriend Silvana Mojica called it quits. According to him, it was sheer coincidence he and Rachel Leviss were in the same town on October 27. He clarified he was there for a slice from Uncle Jerry’s Pizza Company and added the pizza joint got an 8.3 from him. One can not really contest his opinion when it comes to pizza.
