Glad he got fired. They should find the woman in the photos and give her the money he would have made from the rest of his contract.

Seriously? Comments like this make me so angry. She likely physically attacked a stranger, she doesn't deserve to be paid for it, because she had the good fortune of picking a victim with other detestable qualities.
 
Sadly, he won't. In all likelihood he'll attempt to build an even bigger audience (outside of conventional media channels) marketed more directly at those who missed the dog whistles. Scan the comments here: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...thony-says-hes-been-fired-for-a-twitter-rant/

When she hit him and called him a white MF – what was he supposed to do? Say – thank you – may I have another? These stories are important because we need to start saying the truth about what is happening in our cities. These stories are circulated by email in my city because the newspapers refuse to print them if it is between a black person and a white person – they just disappear. Hiding reality only promotes it.

OH MY GOD.

We really don't even know if anyone attacked him.

Ant will come back from this much stronger he is a great guy. I love the Opie and Anthony show and look forward to hearing them again in the future.

By the way Ant was attacked physically and was racially abused he is the victim of a crime. Too bad he didn't shoot that prostitute i can't say that no freedom of speech with you cowards.

You're one of the dumbest motherfuckers living. How the fuck do you remember to breathe at all times?

I'm sure she did.

That said, I would say with almost 100% certainty that he provoked her. It doesn't excuse it, but as an O&A listener I wouldn't be surprised if he egged her on just so he could go on another rant if something bad happened.

Even if he was attacked one misdeed doesn't negate the other. He paid the price for being overtly racist in public setting. Sirus is a corporation that acted in its best interests and will always do so. This guy had to know he could be fired for a rant like that.

How are you sure she did? What leads you to believe that's the case?

He wouldn't go on a tear like this if it didn't actually happen. He's nuts, but not so stupid that he would risk his job that makes him millions over a lie.

It kind of sounds to me like you WANT to believe this was made up, though.

Lol, much salty. You know too much sodium is bad for your diet, righ- -

...oh whatever, not like you care...

Provocation is irrelevant - he should not have said what he did if he wanted to keep his job. Period.

Given that you were not there, have no eye witness reports...your just pulling answers out of thin air.

Why didn't he press charges?
Why no video of the incident? He sure was able to fire off two pictures of her approaching him but no video?
Why no pictures of the five guys that harassed him for 'being white'?
Why no pictures of his wounds from being punched repeatedly in his face?
 
This sucks - Anthony is one of the funniest guys on radio and I don't think he can be replaced, so unless they move to podcast the show is over. I still like Ron and Fez too much to cancel though.
 
She called him a White motherf****r and punched him multiple times.

Do you get offended when African-Americans make films that mock Whites with the use of painting their faces White. White face ok because only Whites can be racist according to you.

Less White males in video games, movies music, sports and positions of power is the future don't resist thats racist. Just look at the wonderful world of the NBA and how that all worked out diversity is our strength.


Your posts indicate that you might be a racist.

Oh and your username seems to be a play homage to Alfred the Great, king of the Anglo Saxons.

There's a chance she's ratchet, too. Also a chance he was taking creeper pics, got caught, then said slurs as they argued, which resulted in said asswhooping. You think this wimp, so blatantly racist and sexist, wouldn't of tried to hit back if he wasn't getting bodied? Talking about his gun and killing her but, no too chivalrous to defend himself against an assault with his hands. She overpowered him no doubt about it. Then he went home, doubting everything about himself, and threw that fit on twitter.

Birds of a flock....
 
This guy is acting like he's owed a job (oh the irony). You work for a company that can and will fire you for your out of work transgressions. This is true for any American.

First of all!

In NYC, you don't take a picture of random people on the street and expect to just walk away like nothing. Why the hell was he taking her picture in the first place? So naturally as a new Yorker that shit does not ride out here. People don't like be recorded, taking pictures at while walking on the street. Shit, people don't like when you stare at them for too long. What she said ain't right but guess what? She's not going on twitter calling him all kinds of racist derogatory words that he is doing right now, especially considering his status. So.... To conclude... HE IS THE TRUE RACIST. Bye

He may still press charges, and if she did indeed attack him then I don't think the first thing on his mind would be "Oh boy, I should get this on video!"

I have no doubt his story is exaggerated though. Which is why I said I think he provoked this. He wanted something to rant about.

If you can't read your own posts...I can't help you.

No, I want you to point out exactly where I said what you implied. I didn't say his behavior was justified because she hit him. I said he would not have been so stupid as to do it unless something actually happened.

He thought this was a legitimate reason to be a total asshole on Twitter and was seriously mistaken.
 
The thing that gets me the most, is that he keeps retweeting some people's defense of him...But if you click on most of these dudes's twitters, they are...Well they are extremely racist asshats.

You tell me what you think I implied first...because it's so elementary, I am not sure what your issue is.
 
I think the one where I even said "wow, how can he not be fired?" was when he went on a huge rant during the George Zimmerman trial in response to a black caller. (The guy calls every once in a while) I'll see if I can find it. This is actually the only time where it didn't feel like shtick and felt too real.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRuYPhk5PC0 - I believe this is it. Jimmy and Opie pretty much walk away from the room.
Oh shit. If you skip to 2: 50 Anthony pretty much goes over how he's going to get fired just like that 911 operator. Fucking glorious.

And I love his take on his mother being an over the top racist asshole and describing it as just "Innocent playful fun". Gee, I wonder why he turned into such a racist shit and just flushed his career down the toilet? Thanks ma!
 
Why are people in this thread acting like punching someone for taking a picture is an ok response?

Anthony's twitter probably should have gotten him fired about 20 times so its kind of hard to feel bad for him. I'm sure they'll bith just do a podcast in October when their contract runs out
 
He got fired? What the fuck? He's said much, much much worse on the air...

Hard to believe they gave Anthony a platform for multiple contracts renewals knowing full well how racially provocative and controversial his opinions can be for all these years, on their radio channels, on his twitter, on his compound show, but this, this was their crumbling point?

Pretty fucking chicken shit.

And yet he thought to snap one off right up in her face? Come on bruh, you can't be this dense. She probably asked him to stop taking pictures of her, he made some derogatory remarks and he probably got butthurt when she got verbal too, and he crafted this wild tale of the "savages" attacking a poor white man(carrying a gun no less!) such as himself. Gotta rally that stormfront demo and give them a reason to listen to the next show!

Little did he know, it would get picked up and SiriusXM would drop his ass right off the empire state building.

Exactly, if Sirius had misgivings about Cumia's long, long history of racially incendiary remarks and innuendo on social media, he would've been back tin knocking years ago.

Because there is no evidence of an assault bar his twitter rant. But there is evidence of his twitter account being used to make racial slurs and derogatory statements. Perhaps they feel he is an unreliable witness.

And the "why would he be so upset and do this - if he were not hit" argument is not evidence...it's conjecture.

Picking a victim you say. Like she was just prowling Times Square in a short black skirt, just looking to kick the shit out of a mother fucker. Give me a break.

Truth, sis.

Taking photos of her does not make assaulting him right, but somehow I highly doubt that he was at all respectful about it or that he didn't do a thing to provoke her. The infuriating thing is he's relying on the idea that people so easily believe that any and all black people are capable of going from 0 to violent with no provocation. We're savages, after all.

This woman is dressed for a night out on the town. She is not dressed to go out and get into physical altercations with men. I don't believe for a second that he didn't provoke her.
