'Opie and Anthony' Host Goes on Twitter Tirade

Anthony Cumia

Opie and Anthony host Anthony Cumia went on an offensive Twitter tirade after he claimed a woman attacked him in Times Square, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The incident sparked a racist rant from the SiriusXM DJ, who said on Tuesday that he was taking photos of New York City when an African-American woman, who was in his frame, punched him in the face.

The woman said she did not want to have her picture taken, according to Cumia.

"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!" the 53-year-old host tweeted. Cumia proceeded to angrily rant on Twitter throughout the night until Wednesday morning.

I was assaulted and used "mean" words on twitter and I'M the bad guy in all this?? Lol! This fucking world is completely ass backwards!

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

Cumia claimed that he wasn't hurt by the woman's blows and managed to block most of them. He later wrote that the incident ended with him walking away with "no cop around" to stop the situation.
