"You know him well from the "Opie & Anthony Show" as Brother Joe. "

That's part of the description of "the The Joseph Cumia Show" page on Indiegogo, a page which remains open for donations.

I supposedly know him WELL from the Opie and Anthony Show as "Brother Joe." Clearly that description is saying anyone that listened to the publicly broadcasted Opie and Anthony Show should be familiar with someone called "Brother Joe." As we all know Brother Joe was the show's pseuodnym for Joe Cumia. If Joe Cumia wants to actively fundraise based on audience familiarity with his Brother Joe persona, I would argue that he is in fact a public figure and should be discussed publicly without any notion of harassment suggested.

is it possible for a guy like him to walk the streets and not get spit on once a day?

It depends. Is it child spit?

limited purpose public figure

I ‘knew him well’ because any time you heard “we got brother Joe on line two” it was like going to get a beer during the drum solo at a metal show. Id check back in about 7 minutes, or FFW on my Inno til he was gone.
