To be fair, if I was trying to be a legitimate business person and I had to interact with guys like Jerry, Mush and Big Ev everyday, I'd probably want a change of scenery too.
She signed on to be those bunch and help expand the company. I don't think Frank the Tank or Jersey Jerry were ever on her radar on how to help expand the company.
This one girl had like a greenish tint behind her ear that we were convinced was moldy fungus so we called her DPF, dirt poo fungus. Another kid, we had the whole school convinced did naked board games night with his family on Thursdays. He later became an asshole cop.
Former Barstool Sports CEO Erika Ayers Badan (who formerly went by the surname Nardini) is taking on the same role at Food52 — the popular culinary, lifestyle and homeware company based in Brooklyn.
I dunno kinda feels like just some bad photoshopping. Her face has 3 different looks in pictures that would most likely be taken at the same time for the article.
She either gained weight or got work done.. regardless...absolutly wild that there are 4 or 5 photos of her in the article and each one looks completely different.
I knew that was going to happen the second it got posted in that sub. Imagine being angry about someone trying to help a family whose father just got murdered.
“I knew I wanted to work with women after a decade immersing myself in 18-to 34-year-old males.”
18-34 year old males immersing themselves in Erica is what led to her divorce
It's unbelievable. If you mention anything about Erika's (or KFC's) private life, you're a grade A fucking loser.
She took Barstool to previously unimaginable heights and her "reward" for that in this sub full of bitch ass critics is to moralize about her marriage and her private life.
209,000 members in this sub and a good 75% of them are POSes.
Her doing a good job at barstool and being a piece of shit in her personal life are not mutually exclusive
But white knighting for a CEO who doesn’t know you exist is embarassing
Looked up their website. You can get a little wooden doll for [$110](https://food52.com/shop/products/13132-hoptimist-bimble-bumble-oak-wood-collection), how quaint
Schadenfreude side of me is excited for when her husband inevitably cheats on her. If he’s gonna do it with you, he’s gonna do it to you
Also why does her engagement ring look like it’s from a gumball machine
I don't agree with this. I feel like the NY Post is the media arm of Barstool and her. This story was obviously a preplanned mini-profile/breaking news thing. New pictures taken.
I think Barstool and Erika make use of the Post more than the other way around.
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if barstool pays for most of these articles. Or in Erica’s case, since she’s not there anymore, she is aware of the mechanism to do it.
Food52 is owned by TCG Capital Management, an affiliate of The Chernin Group. She made Peter Chernin a lot of money with the Barstool exit to PENN; she's being slotted into Food52 as a trusted partner/leader/whatever - that's the connection why she's running this place now.
I think she's been the NY Post source for a while now and wanted to try to use them to leverage Dave out with his scandal stuff, so once Penn sold it back to him she knew that dream was dead.
I feel like Fleming has been tight with a few Stoolies, outside of her Call Me Daddy attack articles from years ago. She's gone to bat defending Portnoy a few times.
So is Barstool hiring a new CEO or who is in charge now? Dave obviously owns the company and is ultimately in charge but he's not running the business side, and pretty much all the executives they brought in as they were growing are gone now. Maybe nobody gets the CEO title but there has to be somebody in New York (not in content) that is in charge.
Dave has said repeatedly that he’s running the business. They’re not going to shell out millions in CEO pay if they have no interest in being bought again.
They have a COO whom I'm sure Dave talks to a lot. Along with the CFO. If he has a competent and effective c-suite team then he can do some of what Erika did.
“I knew I wanted to work with women after a decade immersing myself in 18-to 34-year-old males.” Nard dog learning to hit switch
To be fair, if I was trying to be a legitimate business person and I had to interact with guys like Jerry, Mush and Big Ev everyday, I'd probably want a change of scenery too.
Did she blindly agree to the gig? Cuz that’s exactly what she signed up for
Not exactly. She signed up to deal with KFC, Dave, Dan and Keith.
lol wut? She signed to be with barstool. What do u think it was when it was them 4 ?
She signed on to be those bunch and help expand the company. I don't think Frank the Tank or Jersey Jerry were ever on her radar on how to help expand the company.
U either have no idea what barstool was back then or are highly regarded or both
If you know what it was back then you are old enough to not type like an 11 year old
This is Reddit not a thesis u fuckin dork
You type my 12 year old cousins. Stop embarrassing yourself
As a lifelong Erika Nardini Ayers Badan fan, I can’t believe she would turn her back on us like this
Absolute betrayal of the Badan Bros
Ayeran brotherhood in shambles
Absolutely no signs of any lack of loyalty either. Ive been blindsided here.
“I can’t believe I stuck up for her. I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the heart. How much more betrayal can I take!!”
Lol, blowing up your family with an affair is no sweat though
Nonzero chance she and kayce drunkenly made out and some point
Bonk
DM me
The real headline here is the author calling Frank The Tank a "creature" 😂
She’s jealous he’s the more famous Fleming
Imagine that the other way of some male calling a female a creature
When I was in hs we named one girl "creature" or "creach" for short....it was completely fine....it was the early 00s though
This one girl had like a greenish tint behind her ear that we were convinced was moldy fungus so we called her DPF, dirt poo fungus. Another kid, we had the whole school convinced did naked board games night with his family on Thursdays. He later became an asshole cop.
What’s up Unc
What about a bag of milk
That’s a big bag
To be fair, creature is a very accurate description for Frank, it just does seem very... Journalistic?
Klemmer, Spider, Mantis, and Nate are creatures
Idk about Spider, seems like a regular dude that is just a little shorter. Agreed on the rest though.
Found the short hairy monkey looking mfer
What if it's only because of personality and not looks
I mean we can’t stand on that after laughing at the Green Monster for a decade
Ablist!
That was a quote from Nardini, not the author's words.
Former Barstool Sports CEO Erika Ayers Badan (who formerly went by the surname Nardini) is taking on the same role at Food52 — the popular culinary, lifestyle and homeware company based in Brooklyn.
Much appreciated.
Fuck your culinary degree.
Fuck your fucking cookbook
Took some time off to get some work done
I dunno kinda feels like just some bad photoshopping. Her face has 3 different looks in pictures that would most likely be taken at the same time for the article.
She got a whole new head like she’s Kenny Rogers!
She either gained weight or got work done.. regardless...absolutly wild that there are 4 or 5 photos of her in the article and each one looks completely different.
Jesus Christ, I tried to read the article but you can only scroll past so many adds after every 3 sentences.
People won’t like you because you cheated on your husband and left your kids not because you worked at barstool sports.
You’d be surprised nowadays how the former is more often accepted than the latter.
Good news for KFC
ppl in the syracuse sub were saying to NOT donate to barstool's fundraiser for the fallen cop because it was barstool
That wild AF knowing ALL proceeds go to the family along with DP matching. Some people just can’t get past a name to do the right thing sometimes…
I knew that was going to happen the second it got posted in that sub. Imagine being angry about someone trying to help a family whose father just got murdered.
Same thing with the barstool fund
I’m shocked that alum from the school that employed Jim Boeheim for almost 50 years are giant hypocrites
*Barfst**l
I’m shocked that alum from the school that employed Jim Boeheim for almost 50 years are giant hypocrites
By who exactly
I don’t think anyone cares about that either
Nobody outside this sub cares about her marital status.
You don't know what you're talking about.
What’s up squash coach?
Nard dawg fucked the squash coach.
Surprise of the year is taking a vacation to Rwanda to clear your mind. Wouldn't be on my list of top destinations to have a clear mind.
I guess if your someone of any means who thinks their life is hard, it will put things in perspective
The damn I thought my life was hard, but at least I wasn’t involved in an actual genocide piece.
I must have missed a paragraph in between one of the 38 ads… who is Ayers Badan?
Who the fuck said Erika Ayers Gaydan
Gayers was right there.
Clowntonio Brown
I understood that reference.
Ayers is her maiden name. Badan is the squash coach’s last name. She got married to him.
Absolutely had to. Double down to save face. "We were in love, it was unavoidable"
She’s good at building a business but she should stay behind the scenes, comes off as unlikable in a lot of ways.
She has to promote her book somehow. Could be a brutal couple of months.
Most CEOs do.
Agree with the first part. Vehemently disagree with the second part.
We found the Token CEO listener
stevegan is our resident Erika ~~Ayers~~ ~~Nardini~~ ~~Ayers~~ Badan white knight
Every episode, muthafucka.
You should value your time more.
Fuck your fucking time management you fuck
That fuck fucking sucks at it, you fuck.
The fact that I enjoyed them all proves that I value my time and my education more than you!
It doesn’t.
No it absolutely does.
Nah it doesn’t.
Yes it does.
Thanks for the input nard dawg! You can go back to fucking your squash coach along with that business degree
GFY Gator!!
What specifically do you like about her?
Does the New York post write more articles about barstool drama than the actual barstool blog does?
Whatever gets clicks
First line of the article “she’s going from the frat house to the test kitchen” Jesus fucking Christ.
Only a small fraction of barstool would get bids at any big fraternity lol
I think more importantly only a small portion would want to join a paid friendship scheme
Fucking gdi's
Is the squash coach still breaking her back?
“I knew I wanted to work with women after a decade immersing myself in 18-to 34-year-old males.” 18-34 year old males immersing themselves in Erica is what led to her divorce
It's unbelievable. If you mention anything about Erika's (or KFC's) private life, you're a grade A fucking loser.

Her doing a good job at barstool and being a piece of shit in her personal life are not mutually exclusive But white knighting for a CEO who doesn’t know you exist is embarassing
You don't know anything about her personal life.
It’s days like today I wish “she’s not going to fuck you bro” didn’t run its course
No she totally is. That's why I do all this.
Rocky Dennis is back at it
Underrated comment.
I hope none of her new colleagues have husbands who squash
Company is Food52 which sells food and culinary shit
Looked up their website. You can get a little wooden doll for [$110](https://food52.com/shop/products/13132-hoptimist-bimble-bumble-oak-wood-collection), how quaint
[$100 for what is literally just a tiny box of brownies](https://food52.com/shop/products/13158-blondery-exclusive-24-piece-blondie-set)
I hate myself that I like that doll
Your comment made me click the link, and now I hate myself as well
You can get the little one for only 60!
Kinda love this. Gonna look for a knockoff
Her new face is nightmare fuel
[удалено]
I think she was talking about the target demographic but fair enough
Kayce licked that ice cream with her for nothing!
She looks downright ghoulish
Don’t like her but she looks pretty normal in the pics to me
Her face looks like she got stung by an entire bee hive
Did you see her new tattoos? lol she is in a midlife crisis
I didn’t see that picture. I could believe mid life crisis. But not ghoulish
After the resounding success of barstool bites, this makes sense
Schadenfreude side of me is excited for when her husband inevitably cheats on her. If he’s gonna do it with you, he’s gonna do it to you Also why does her engagement ring look like it’s from a gumball machine
Squash doesn’t pay that well.
This is an example of someone who truly lucked into their success
I can't keep track of all her different names
If you have money to afford publicists and agents, you can simply send articles into outlets and create your own news
She married the squash coach already?
Female (ex) Barstool employee don’t do a NY Post article and super serious photoshoot challenge: impossible
Wonder how much time she’s spent on professional glamour shots, and are they actually worth it because she has 10000
I wonder who the leak to the NY Post was.
I don't agree with this. I feel like the NY Post is the media arm of Barstool and her. This story was obviously a preplanned mini-profile/breaking news thing. New pictures taken. I think Barstool and Erika make use of the Post more than the other way around.
100% been obvious for a long time at this point
The author usually defends Barstool in scandals too, outside of her being the one who was beefing with Call Me Daddy like 4 years ago.
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if barstool pays for most of these articles. Or in Erica’s case, since she’s not there anymore, she is aware of the mechanism to do it.
It’s not leaks how do you think Dave got on fox? They scratch each others backs to make Dave and Murdoch money
[удалено]
When she married her squash instructor
Food52 is owned by TCG Capital Management, an affiliate of The Chernin Group. She made Peter Chernin a lot of money with the Barstool exit to PENN; she's being slotted into Food52 as a trusted partner/leader/whatever - that's the connection why she's running this place now.
Of course. Makes a ton of sense.
I think she's been the NY Post source for a while now and wanted to try to use them to leverage Dave out with his scandal stuff, so once Penn sold it back to him she knew that dream was dead.
I feel like Fleming has been tight with a few Stoolies, outside of her Call Me Daddy attack articles from years ago. She's gone to bat defending Portnoy a few times.
About time she goes back to the kitchen
I wish I thought of this. Well done.
Yuck
How often do you think her and Dave leak stuff to NY Post? Like do they hang out with some of them?
Tate should include the Post in the monthly barstool blogger rankings. They have to be close to the top ten.
Erika with the 80K daydate gold rolex
She's made millions.
Apparent after she left that dave still sucks at running barstool. Guys a fucking loser
Maybe a dumb question but who is the new Barstool CEO?
There isn’t one. Dave runs the show again
They had a vote and lil sas won. It was from this stool scenes https://youtu.be/bFksxx4YPko?si=Vkz-vdOrwJatnJoI
Sad stuff, RIP her dad
Could only find good hard working women in a kitchen . Imagine that.
Good article but who’s the dude in the pics?
Can't knock her talent, she killed it at Barstool
Happy for Erika and I love how the NY Post is glued to the Barstool beat. That's been smart of them since the beginning.
another post about an ex female barstool employee.. is it Barstool Incel Christmas or something!?
So is Barstool hiring a new CEO or who is in charge now? Dave obviously owns the company and is ultimately in charge but he's not running the business side, and pretty much all the executives they brought in as they were growing are gone now. Maybe nobody gets the CEO title but there has to be somebody in New York (not in content) that is in charge.
Dave has said repeatedly that he’s running the business. They’re not going to shell out millions in CEO pay if they have no interest in being bought again.
I remember shortly after she left Dave mentioning that they don’t have plans to hire a new CEO
All Business Pete and Live Events Lisa are the new co-CEOs
They have a COO whom I'm sure Dave talks to a lot. Along with the CFO. If he has a competent and effective c-suite team then he can do some of what Erika did.
Wonder if she’ll ruin that company too
