She says she was asked, “Why didn’t you scream? Why didn’t you react sooner? Why didn’t you stand further away from him?”
FYI, she calmly took the photo, but the security team was immediately alerted and confronted by the DJ. They also reported him at his workplace, which resulted in him being fired. He sued Swift for defamation and sought $3 million in damages, but she countersued for just $1 and won.
She said of the experience: “I was so angry. I was angry that I had to be there, I was angry that this would happen to a woman, I was angry that all the details were twisted. I was angry,” he said.
Fans online felt that her own experience fighting incredibly may have made her reconsider her friendship with Portnoy.
“Taylor Swift writing a thank you letter to Dave Portnoy is totally weird in every sense of the word. Sorry,” one user wrote to X.
“I heard Taylor wrote a letter to Dave Portnoy and wow, I never thought he would take such a big swing away from her. Like? What’s your idea of this???” Added another. It was done.
Although Swift has not addressed the online messages, other fans have come to her defense.
“I love how passionately Dave Portnoy loves Taylor Swift,” a fan wrote.
Swift probably never expected the contents of the letter, which was given to Portnoy in private, to become public.
