SiriusXM Fires a Host of ‘Opie & Anthony’ Over Racist Tweets
Sirius XM Radio Fires a Host of ‘Opie & Anthony’ Over Racist Twitter Posts
Quote:
Anthony Cumia, of the duo Opie and Anthony, wrote a series of Twitter messages early on Wednesday that drew wide condemnation online. Saying that he had been assaulted by a black woman after taking pictures in Times Square, Mr. Cumia, who is white, attacked her in a barrage of profanities. “This was an animal,” he wrote. “I shoulda smashed it’s face.”
Quote:
Supporters began circulating an online petition last week asking Sirius XM to reinstate Mr. Cumia. By Sunday, the petition had attracted more than 6,000 supporters.
Mr. Cumia has since deleted most of his recent tweets. But in one, he criticized Sirius XM for firing him, writing that what he did “wasn’t even on the air & wasn’t illegal.”
