Tampa Radio: Video Shows Mike Calta's Altercation With Woman

Video shows Mike Calta grabbing woman's cellphone

A popular Tampa radio host is seen on a leaked video getting into a physical confrontation with a woman at a fan event. WHPT The Bone 102.5 FM morning host personality Mike Calta is seen on newly emerged video getting into a physical altercation with a woman at a Florida gun store, according to the Daily Mail.

The video, posted on Blaze Media,  shows the un-identified woman with papers in one hand and a cell phone in the other hand. The woman is allegedly recording video of Calta with her cell phone at a gun shop in Sarasota on July 17.

Calta is heard saying on video, "How pathetic is your life that you're here fighting this fight?"

The woman responds, "How pathetic is your life?"

Calta instructs the woman to turn around and look at the people behind her.

"Turn around and look at these people," Calta said. "Turn your camera around, these people are here to see me."

Calta grabs the phone from the woman.

The woman tells the radio host, "You don't have permission to take that from me. That's my property."

The woman attempts to retrieve her phone back, but Calta holds it out of her reach.

Calta threatens, "Back away from me or I'll kick the s**t outta you."

"B*tch, you don't back away from me these guys are gonna throw you the f*** out," Calta said, referencing security guards nearby.

The woman lunges for her phone; then a furious Calta violently shoves the woman in her face. She is pushed away and a security guard physically removes her from the area.

Calta demands, "Get the f*** off me, you dirty c***."

The Tampa Bay Times reported, "Cox Media Group last Monday announced that Mike Calta has signed a new multi-year contract to stay at 102.5 FM 'The Bone,' marking two decades in the Tampa Bay area radio scene."

"I couldn’t be more excited that The Mike Calta Show will continue to call 102.5 The Bone home for many years to come," said John Brennan – director of branding and programming for 102.5 The Bone.

Calta has been with The Bone since 2007. In 2014, he rebranded himself and his show and stopped using the on-air name Cowhead. He started in Tampa Bay radio in 1989 at 93.3 WFLZ-FM, then known as the Power Pig.

No charges have been filed. Cox Media, which owns WHPT, has not commented.

➤False Flags? Skeptics Are Curious: 

• Why have no charges been filed 
• Why No statement from Cox Media 
• Was the lady a plant from crosstown rival Bubba The LoveSponge to distrupt Calta
• Was this a PR stunt staged by Calta?
• Glenn Beck, another crosstown rival, owns Blaze Media
