Since “Opie and Anthony” radio host Anthony Cumia was arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend, details of the couple’s deeply dysfunctional relationship have emerged.

The 26-year-old alleged victim, who goes by Dani Golightly (real name Danielle Brand), has been living in the disgraced comic’s Roslyn Heights, Long Island, home (which he calls his “compound”) for over a year and bragged about not having to “pay for anything” because of Cumia’s wealth, sources familiar with the situation told Page Six.

But the troubled relationship predates the disturbing video of Golightly documenting the injuries that Cumia, 54, allegedly inflicted on her over the weekend. Golightly has previously recorded Cumia’s rants against her.

“They fight constantly, and it gets ugly pretty often, but not enough for either one of them to leave,” a source added. “She recorded another one of their fights a few months ago.”

In the video posted to Periscope this past weekend, a distressed Golightly tells the camera, “Hi, I’m in Long Island, I got my hand broken, I’m waiting for police to come … I tried to call the police, but [Cumia] turned the phone off.”

Warning: Explicit language

Following his arrest, Cumia pleaded not guilty and was released on his own recognizance, but he was ordered to stay away from Golightly.

“Mr. Cumia emphatically denies the allegations brought against him and is optimistic that when the truth comes out he will be exonerated,” his defense attorney, Alan Schwartz, said in a statement.

He is scheduled to return to court on Jan 4.

While Golightly has roots in the comedy community — her father, Vinnie Brand, is a comic who owns the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, New Jersey (“He’s on the local school board, he’s a good man,” the source said) — her relationship with Cumia has been viewed by many in the comedy world as an attempt to advance her own career, the source explained.

“She hooked up with him in an effort to further her comedy career, then got a bit of Stockholm syndrome because, well, it hasn’t worked for her,” the source said. “Anthony dates other girls and she knows it, but she stays around so she can live in luxury without working.”

In a screenshot of Golightly’s Reddit activity (which allegedly took place four months ago before she deleted the account) — which a separate source has confirmed is authentic (“Ant was furious when it first came out,” the second source revealed) — Golightly appeared to be unfazed by Cumia’s dalliances with other women.

“I talk like a baby, I get money. I make stupid jokes that aren’t funny, I get money. I wake up in a huge, gorgeous, house, lay by the pool all day, don’t have to work, don’t have to pay for anything, go to Hawaii for free … I get money. Life is hard! I can deal with my boyfriend going on dates with other girls because in the end, I’m begged back and … I get money,” she wrote.

The first source added, “They’re both just using each other for different reasons.”
