She wrote: "I became aware yesterday that a video has surfaced on the internet and yes, that was me.
"Its hard to believe that a video from the past is just coming to light but it was never meant to be public."
Raines is 22-years-old and hails from Atlanta, Georgia.
Barstool Sports is a sports and pop culture blog, founded in 2003.
In the video, Portnoy is naked and holding a leash attached to a woman wearing a dog collar, who was later identified as Raines in her social media statement.
"It’s a little weird and kinky. But you gotta spice it up. You can’t be boring," Portnoy said.

In a recent he called "an emergency press conference" to say that this is his third sex tape and not a big deal.
He then encouraged followers to jump on the stock dip and just "f*** it."
Portnoy is worth an estimated £87million and, he sees no reason why stocks should be down.
"A stock is down because somebody has consensual sex? Are you f***ing kidding me?" he earlier this week.
Speaking to about the situation on Tuesday, he said that he had no issue with the footage - aside from the fact that it's being illegally distributed.
Portnoy raged: "Somebody committing a crime by leaking an old video of sex between two consenting adults seems like a dumb reason for a stock to go down."

"As far as I know, nobody would exist on Earth without intercourse. And anybody who shared or watched it committed a federal crime.
"It was never meant for public consumption. Either way, it presented a good buying opportunity in my mind."
Portnoy could not be reached for a comment.
