Late Tuesday evening, SiriusXM radio host Anthony Cumia was apparently attempting to take photographs of Times Square when an unidentified woman was caught in the frame. The “Anthony” half of comedy show Opie & Anthony claimed the woman objected to being photographed and immediately began punching him.



Cumia later told the story to his Twitter followers in what is a shockingly blunt, racially-tinged tirade against the woman and black culture in general. The radio host said the woman called him a “white motherfucker” before hitting him, leading him to believe this was a racially-motivated assault.

Don’t read these aloud in public if you want to keep your job intact, because holy wow:

So, I'm taking pix in NYC & a black girl who was in frame punched me in the face. I called her a fucking "&$;;-:" cause that's what she WAS! — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

Then she punched me 5 more times. She's lucky I was a white legal gun owner or she'd be dead. Then 5 blacks started giving me shit! — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

I told them to back the fuck off, this wasn't their show. The cunt then punched me again. Seems white boys don't hit back. Lucky savage. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

Wish a cop was around. Although she said she'd tell them I sexually harassed her. Lying cunt. I hope she gets shot in her ass fuck face. Ugh — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

They aren't people. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

Im fucking livid. If I was an illegal savage I'd have shot her. The I are violence in her was so predictable. I hope she gets killed. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

It's a jungle out in our cities after midnight. Violent savages own the streets. They all came 2 defend this pig. I had to yell like at dogs — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

RT @RonLR2: @AnthonyCumia So, what started all this? -I was taking pix in Times Square. She was in a pic. Violence was her answer.

ANIMAL — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

The cunt animal kept walking into my arm I had up as a block saying "DONT TOUCH ME!"

Then would hit me. I hope a home boy beats her to death — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

The automatic jump to violence in that community is astounding. No discussion. It's start punching at the least little thing. Uncivilized!! — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

RT @KyleScutch: Did u hit her back -I was fooled by my upbringing. "Don't hit a woman". But this was an animal. I shoulda smashed it's face — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

The switch to violence is immediate. No discussion, just violence. When will THAT be addressed? Oh, right, never. Slavery did it? Oh, ok. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

There's a deep seeded problem with violence in the black community. Try to address it and you'll be exiled to racistville. But it's real. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

Great pic of the CUNTRAG bitch fuck animal pig face worthless meat sack shit pile stink crotch ass stain rot bung… pic.twitter.com/ZJSxldxGZX — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

As mentioned earlier, Cumia believes the woman attacked him because he is white:

Savage violent animal fucks prey on white people. Easy targets. This CUNT has no clue how lucky she was. She belted me 10 times. I had a gun — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 2, 2014

Silly me. I'm not as offended by words as by getting assaulted. Hence not caring her 1st words were "white motherfucker" before the punches. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 3, 2014

When backlash began against his remarks, Cumia defended himself:

When I'm being punched in the face, the thought that what I say may offend my attacker is pretty far down on the to do list. — Anthony Cumia (@AnthonyCumia) July 3, 2014

We’ve reached out to SiriusXM for comment and will update if/when we hear back.
