Fox-TV 2 in St. Louis managers are refusing to comment on the status of news anchor Vic Faust — who last week targeted a female co-host of his radio show with a barrage of foul language, sexist remarks and personal insults, reports The St. Louis Dispatch.
Faust used profanity at least 40 times in berating Crystal Cooper, who was part of Faust’s morning-drive show Sept. 13 on KFNS 100.7 FM, also known as “The Viper.”
Faust lambasted Cooper for her weight and parenting skills, and repeatedly addressed her by a curse word most commonly directed at women.
Faust was not on the air Monday or Tuesday, and the radio show appears to have been put on hold.
Fox 2 general manager Kurt Krueger and news director Audrey Prywitch have not responded to numerous voicemail messages left Monday and Tuesday.
The outburst, which occurred off-air, was digitally recorded and sent anonymously to the Post-Dispatch tip line.
The spark for Faust’s harangue seems to have occurred in the closing minutes of last week’s radio show. Faust and Cooper engage in an uncomfortable exchange after Faust became irked by Cooper’s criticism of his computer skills.
During a commercial break of the morning show on 100.7, co-hosts argued over their treatment of each other. The audio has been edited.

At one point, Faust tells Cooper to not come back to the show.
“If you come back, I’m going to be in your (expletive) every (expletive) day,” Faust said, who added that he would “call you a (expletive) every day.”
