Anthony Cumia is a bit pissed and he appears to have good reason to be.
The co-host of the SiriusXM satellite radio show, The Opie & Anthony Show is no stranger to diatribes and rants that get him into hot water. However, yesterday he was assaulted and he didn’t hide his feelings about how furious he was about the situation. The DJ went on a profanity-laden rant about the attack and his attacker on his Twitter feed. Posting pictures of his attacker and arguing with followers for hours afterward.
Cumia claims a woman approached and assaulted him while he was in Times Square attempting to take photos. The woman was caught in the frame and objected to being in Cumia’s pictures. That’s when the the madness began as the woman allegedly walked up to Cumia and began punching him. Cumia defended himself while she continued the attack. Words were exchanged and the incident ended, no police were around and no report was filed by the DJ.
Afterward Cumia, obviously fired up from the event, then took to Twitter and tossed out very insulting words and posted pictures of his attacker. An avid gun enthusiast, Cumia also stated that he was carrying a gun but felt no need to escalate the situation for he did not feel he was in imminent danger. That last point is a good call considering the fun times Georgia had with handguns yesterday.
For the entire rant, visit his Twitter Feed, but read just a few of them and you’ll get the idea.
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!

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.

The switch to violence is immediate. No discussion, just violence. When will THAT be addressed? Oh, right, never. Slavery did it? Oh, ok.

The 1st words out of her dumb ass mouth after punching me in the head were "white motherfucker" but I'm the racist here? Bizarro land!

My posts on twitter after I was assaulted were profanity laced indeed but racist? Nope. Why should I afford my attacker any courtesy? Insane

Never felt my life was in imminent danger. There was no reason to escalate the situation. I blocked most of her punches w/my arms. No biggie
