SiriusXM Satellite Radio has effectively fired Anthony Cumia of the ‘Opie and Anthony’ show for a Twitter rant that many are calling a racist attack on a black woman.
The incident occurred while Anthony Cumia was taking pictures of people in Time Square. A black woman who did not appreciate being photographed, allegedly walked up to Cumia and assaulted him.
Cumia then went on what some are calling, a racist Twitter rant where he described the black woman as an animal and hoped someone would shoot and kill her.
Cumia was soon fired by Sirius who stated his actions were: “abhorrent to SiriusXM, and his behavior is wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXm represents.” Cumia fired back at his former employer citing “Sirius decided to cave in a fire me. Welcome to bizzaro world. Fired for sh*t that wasn’t even on the air & wasn’t illegal. So, who’s next?”
Cumia has since been met with supporters who threaten to cancel their Satellite radio subscriptions if Cumia was not brought back.
