What happened to the Mean Girl podcast?
As the New York Post reported, the hosts behind the Mean Girl podcast have left following "a series of events" at Barstool Sports.
The company's owner, Dave Portnoy, provided details on the situation while speaking on Barstool Radio on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
The @VivaLaStool X account also shared a video from the broadcast in which Barstool Sports host Kevin Clancy claimed that Bennett and Woodruff "ghosted" him after he invited them to be judges at the company's OnlyFans pageant.
Portnoy responded: "Yeah, so I talked to Alex today about that because I caught wind of it, because I asked if they were in the office, she said she was sick, not really an excuse to not get back to you, so they're done."

Did Alex Bennett and Graham divorce?
In a November 2023 episode of Mean Girl, Alex confessed that she and Graham were divorcing.
She revealed that Graham left her "five months ago."
The couple married in April 2019 after meeting each other at a wedding in Oklahoma City. Alex said that though the pair had moved to New York together, he was eager to be in Oklahoma.
It was around this time that Alex realized that she and Graham "weren't on the same page anymore," she said. "Our hearts were going to be in different places."
What did Dave Portnoy say about Alex Bennett?
While on the September 12, 2023, Barstool Radio segment, Portnoy expressed his admiration for Bennett.
Referring to the "ghosting" situation, he said: "When I heard that story, it was not what I wanted to hear.
"I do like Alex a lot. I don’t know Jordyn nearly as well as I do Alex."
He then reiterated that Bennett's contract was up and that Woodruff's was "coming up" in about two weeks.
He continued: "So it was like, are we renewing or not? And to be honest, they — I — based on some of the decisions, maybe they weren't planning on staying anyways.

"And now it's like, am I gonna give them the IP, which I'm inclined to do, I don't really have a grudge.
"If they can go do something with it on their own, probably more power to them."
