Barstool drama explodes in blog war fallout: ‘Everyone lied to my face’
The Barstool Sports radio drama seems far from over.
Barstool personality Keely Keegs had enough of the narrative that she doesn’t know the content that Barstool Radio should be covering specifically the drama that goes on at Barstool and tried to take the show rogue with co-host Francis Ellis and make it their own, which is partly why founder, Dave Portnoy replaced them on the show earlier this week with himself, Kirk Minihane and Ryan Whitney.
Taking to her X account, Keegs claimed her Barstool colleagues were misrepresenting the situation and explained her side of things by providing screenshots of an email she sent to some employees involved in the situation.
“Sick of this narrative. Heres the email I sent everyone on 1/8 after long convos with everyone involved,” Keegs wrote. “Nothing but support all around. Clearly everyone lied to my face.”
Keegs’ message was a response to X user, “BiggerCat,” which read: “I just cant comprehend how you can go on KFC and say you didnt realize what Barstool Radio was. Its mind boggling that you and Francis thought you could just take all of the Barstool Radio audience and make it your own show about what you wanted without people reacting.”

“Content – we’ll keep the Barstool Drama involved but only when it happens,” the email read in part. “Organic conversations about it will come up when necessary. After that, I think it’ll be fun to model this show after a typical talk show – segments, games, bringing people on to discuss what they’re working on, give a stage for ‘showcasing talents,’ etc.
“It should be more. than a group of people talking on microphones, and I think this is a great opportunity for some of us to play out our creative sides and contribute. Segments are great for ad sales too. I also don’t think it’ll hurt to adding booze into the mix every once in a while!”

5The Barstool Sports radio drama seems far from over, and Kelly Keegs just dropped receipts. X/Kelly KeegsKeegs sent the email on Jan. 8, a few weeks before Portnoy ripped her on social media and canceled Barstool Radio “until further notice.”
At the time, Portnoy explained that he wasnt happy with Keegs and Ellis because they spent most of a recent episode talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, instead of discussingKeegs feud with fellow Barstool employee, Ohios Tate.
These two might be the most tone deaf, brain dead, idiotic, Portnoy said. Francis and Kelly are the wrong people. Go back to blogging.

After being replaced on the radio show, Keegs wrote in a post on X that she was “sad” about the demotion, and explained she “wanted to turn Barstool Radio into something fun and positive forus all.
“Everyone else just wants to stay at each others throats nonstop. Im not that girl. Ive got one weekly fight in me, at best. Sounds like a job for @kirkmin.
Portnoy called her delusional in a response after that.
