Anthony Cumia, the “Anthony” part of the unfiltered “Opie and Anthony” show on SiriusXM radio, has been fired after criticism mounted over a graphic Twitter rant he engaged in that was called “racist,” “misogynistic,” and “hate-filled.”

Sirius decided to cave and fire me. Welcome to bizarro world. Fired for shit that wasn't even on the air & wasn't illegal. So, who's next?

According to his Twitter account, Cumia says he was informed of the decision via email.
USA Today confirmed the firing via a statement from SiriusXM:

“SiriusXM has terminated its relationship with Anthony Cumia of the Opie & Anthony channel. The decision was made, and Cumia informed, late Thursday, July 3 after careful consideration of his racially-charged and hate-filled remarks on social media. Those remarks and postings are abhorrent to SiriusXM, and his behavior is wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXM represents.”

The tweets that led to the firing were sent early Wednesday morning. According to Cumia, he was taking pictures in Times Square late Tuesday/early Wednesday when a black woman took exception to being included in one of the pictures and “punched” him (as many as 10 times, he said). That’s when, he explained, five other black men jumped in and started giving him “sh**.”
