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.”
…
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.”
