Overview
- Footage from Friday captures a passerby yelling “f*** the Jews” at Portnoy during a One Bite review outside Boardtown Pizza in Starkville, Mississippi.
- Portnoy beckoned the man to step into frame, the two had a brief inaudible exchange, and bystanders immediately denounced the remark with shouts to leave.
- Clips circulated widely on X via accounts including @LikelyTarnished and @TheTyMiller, and the individual seen in the video has not been publicly identified.
- Portnoy, in a CBS Sunday Morning preview recorded before the incident, said antisemitic taunts toward him now happen “every day” and described a “definitive shift.”
- The episode echoes earlier 2025 incidents, including a similar heckle during a Toronto review in June and a Philadelphia bar sign that led Portnoy to propose an educational trip to Auschwitz for those responsible.
