Overview
- Pablo Torre’s latest podcast featured Mother Jones reporter Madison Pauly and examined Riley Gaines’ evolving rhetoric, paid speaking work, and teammates’ accounts tied to credible sexual-assault allegations against former Kentucky coach Lars Jorgensen.
- OutKick founder Clay Travis denounced the episode as embarrassing, repeatedly pressed Torre to state his position on men competing in women’s sports, and received support from conservative commentators including Megyn Kelly.
- Critics resurfaced a 2016 Pablo Torre tweet about a man exposing himself to a female employee to accuse him of hypocrisy; Torre said the tweet referred to Brett Favre and highlighted Gaines’ prior support for Favre.
- OutKick published a sharply worded article labeling Torre a hypocrite and framing the podcast as a politically motivated hit piece.
- Responding online, Gaines dismissed reporting on her earnings as a non-story, citing paid speaking and a leadership center that brought in six figures as standard work, and said she is focused on her newborn.
