It seems as much as we'd all love to believe him.. and his side of the story, that Ant out taking pictures of .. SCAFFOLDING???? at 3am, just doesnt add up.

If this was someone else (not Opie, Ant or Jim).. that got punched for taking pictures of scaffolding at 3am while somehow getting a picture of a black girl in a tight black dress.. the boys would NEVER believe the dude, and be all over him.

For someone who lives in NYC, you'd assume ANT had some street smarts. I would NEVER in my right mind openly snap a photo of someone I didn't know in NYC at 3:00 AM. That is just plain fucking stupid on his part. There's just shit you don't do, legal or not. And if anyone believes he was snapping blurry photos of scaffolding at 3 AM, then you're a fucking dolt. He was most likely taking a photo of that woman to post to twitter where he can openly mock her from the safety of his own apartment. Fact is, he got caught. And he paid the price. No sympathy.

Who walks around Times Square drunk and by himself at 3 in the morning to take pictures of "scaffolding?" He wanted some pictures of blacks to rag on and it backfired.

BLACKfired

nice

NOICE

I can't get past the 3a.m. Thing. Just doesn't add up at all.

barely after midnight

He takes loads of awesome pictures. Late night photography is a lot of fun. Don't be a dummy.

His pictures are terrible.

So what? Most people pursue it as a hobby. He very clearly isn't trying to make a career out of it.

But... You just said they were awesome. That is what I was responding to. I think they're terrible.

Essentially saying "so what that you think that".

Yes, it's fun. You also calculate your risks.

Source: I make a living take photos steeped in folly

Exactly my thinking. I usually mill about half drunkenly in the Lower East Side and the Village around those hours and it's kinda shady in itself. More likely than not, you'll run into an equally drunk hipster or NYU kid. But in midtown, someone out at that hour is not to be trifled with. He definitely got caught being a creep and paid for it. For someone that always preaches vigilance, he used ZERO street smarts. Plus that whole "brothers coming out of the woodwork" to back her up just doesn't hold water. If they were there, they would've jumped in on the beatdown.

Yeah, chances are they saw some lady beating some old white guy and just enjoyed the show.

You (or somebody else here who listens live) should call up and argue this point with him. I highly doubt Opie and Jim are going to push him all that hard on that point out of sheer fear of awkwardness.

barely after midnight

If they didn't work with him, Jimmy definitely wouldn't believe his story, while Opie would go the opposite way and pretend that the same thing happened to him once.

That happened to Opie.. Then he called his buddy Gino Dondobellarte who took care of that... Cause Opie is connected if u boysss catch my drift

Those cement bags he used to carry his lunch in were emptied to make shoes for Gino's enemies am I right?!

Jimmy would defend ant with a "leave him alone!" from a safe distance.

Wearing a Kangol hat?

You are SO right about Ope. He'd start telling us a story about trying to shoot a viral video..someone talking trash..and then end with "I shit at the other beach once". Hey Ope...it's not about you!

Hey Open..

Fucking lol.

The Philly Crew helped him out.

[deleted]

Oh boy

I have faith in O and J that they will point out that Ant was taking photos of someone for the purpose of mocking them.

Have you listened to the show within the last 5 years? Jimmy & Ant don't call Opie out on so much as a sneeze.

No sir..I don't believe they'll attack Ant at all

maybe you're right. they're at the point where if they don't pretend to believe him, he'll become permanently pissy to them on a personal level.

when opie lies or exaggerates its usually something rather minor that they can roll there eyes at. With this however i don't think ant has any room for humour. Remember the banksy graffiti incident in brooklyn. He honestly would take it personally if they started busting his balls over this.

A little too flippant with your faith there, aren't you?

He was taking creepshots. I'm sorry, /r/CandidFashionPolice. He'd be a natural fit on reddit. http://i.imgur.com/3sKZFHT.png

Off-topic, but how is that subreddit still up? They came up with the most obvious workaround ever and it actually worked?

[deleted]

Hahaha, I had no idea they came up with that workaround. That is hilarious.

So what if he was taking "creep shots"? Seriously. Does it matter?

It's okay people. Don't answer me.

taking pictures of people's back is not a creepshot

barely after midnight

If the bitch didn't want pictures taken of her she shouldn't be walking alone in New York at 3AM. After it gets dark, the city is inundated with guys just taking pictures of people. It's a real problem and with DeBlasio ending stop and frisk, there are a lot more cameras on the street than usual.

You can't really get these guys until they whip out their camera. And by that time it's too late. The picture is taken.

[deleted]

I wish Patrice was here to break this shit down... It would be one for the ages.

Patrice was so special he'd be the only one to actually question anthony and anthony would listen too, he was the only black person anthony took seriously im convinced

Yeah, that's been the biggest problem with Ant's craziness. No one on the show will ever call him on his bull shit.

Ant is by far the most entertaining persona on that shot....but it comes at a cost.

Never missed him more

I don't think he will admit to intentionally instigating this event or doing anything that should have provoked the "attack" but I bet he will say "So let's say I did! Let's say I was taking her picture and I knew she didn't like it and I called her a cunt! I used words and she used violence and nothing I did was illegal and what she did was illegal!" This is like a lesser version of when a paparazzi antagonizes a celeb and then the celeb ends up hitting the fucker. (Although, if I'm not mistaken, the boys usually sympathize with the celeb for attacking the pap).

Of course he won't admit it, he'll play the helpless victim that got his ass kicked by a woman.

ass kicked by a black woman as black men looked on and laughed. So close to his racial cuckolding fantasy but yet so far

Yea in his fantasy, the black men push him down a set of stairs and go to the bottom and hug him and make sure he's ok.

Someone needs to pull audio of all the times Ant in particular spoke out against paps who got attacked.

This is like a lesser version of when a paparazzi antagonizes a celeb and then the celeb ends up hitting the fucker.

It's more like making eye contact with the gorillas at the zoo.

And the drunkenly getting into the gorilla cage and flashing a camera in its face as it continues to demonstrate anger over the fact that you are there doing that.

The real question is how many times Ant yelled "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?" between haymakers

"Haymakers" made me lol. You just picture cartoon punches, like Popeye uppercutting Bluto.

He probably has his own WorldStarHipHop video now. Irony at its finest.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ant has stated on his Twitter, that he his not going to the cops over this one ... Which is a little odd for the always True to the Blue Cumia. And again at odds with his constant battery of a certain racial communitirs particular stereotype of not reporting crimes.

Which leads me to think Ant is well aware he was the asshole here. I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Sadley, this won't so much turn to a place of reflection, so much as 're affirming his of beliefs to himself as Ant slips deeper into a hole of misguided hatred.

He would have to admit he was in public, intoxicated, and carrying a firearm. Goodbye gun permit.

Not only the intoxicated with a gun thing, but I guarantee those lawyers would just play racist audio from the show where Ant talks about black people and the jury would immediately side with the woman and believe he instigated something racial. Not to mention he brings up race in a lot of his angry tweets.

Oh yeah, he would be paying out a lot of cash and giving Sirius a reason to either lowball the shit out of him come next contract or simply put the show on hiatus. Or, heaven forbid, do an Apology Bit with them.

They wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't.

But at least his dad would be proud of him.

[deleted]

Right, because that totally proves Ants eugenics diatribes.

[deleted]

All I know is that this shit is great. I like Ant, but he is not someone I have sympathy for.

I think this shit is funny and entertaining. Ant should have to face a gauntlet of angry black women bonking him about the head and shoulders with their shoes every day to get to the studio.

what's that?

It's hilarious. I wish Patrice was still alive.

That was my first thought too, I don't think he would of done this if Patrice was still alive. Patrice was the only person that successfully challenged Ant's racism, without him Ant's racism grow daily.

Yeah, Ant is an asshole instigator. This side of him gets on my last fucking nerve

sounds like it's working.

From a few minutes ago:

"Never felt my life was in imminent danger. There was no reason to escalate the situation. I blocked most of her punches w/my arms. No biggie"

No reason to escalate the situation... after drunkenly taking pictures of a random woman then calling her the N word after she initially reacted. Anthony really is a guinea fool.

He called her nigger after she punched him.

"after she initially reacted"

She's an ass, I'm not trying to defend her in the least... I'm saying the claim that he didn't want to escalate the situation doesn't hold much water.

We have our own secret subreddit where we share titty pics and our deepest sexiest secrets.

... So hot, you can't even mention it on the subredddddditttt

Amen—it's sickening to see these faggots try to spin it against him.

He was in the middle of a Xanax and booze filled bender when this happened. Cumia needs an intervention or he will be dead from either another heart attack or his own stupidity in the streets. This Apology Girl break up is hitting him hard

oh yeah, totally forgot about that first one.

what ever happened to that whole thing where he was on the wagon? He had his hottest girlfriend those days.

[deleted]

I do believe that your reckless speculations are steeped in folly.

While you're at the dictionary/thesaurus look up the word succinct.

He didn't get the joke.

Yes you're right, it appears a joke has gone over my head... Wheres it from?

Jimmy talking about cool things to shout at a soccer match instead of puto.

Only one thing I want to ask him:

J'A FUCK'A??

I missed what happened as I don't follow him on twitter and don't listen to the show live but what I'm getting from all this is that we are not hating on Opie for the moment?

What happened is that Anthony tried to remove a homeless woman of color's hat, and she in return stomped on his cake.

And we know this because he said it happened on twitter or is there video?

Video evidence

I don't get it.

He's fuckin with you dude. Here's the link.

Opie, is that you?

That link is purple. That can only mean one thing.

NOT TODAY!

It's like they are competing for who is more embarrassing on social media.

[deleted]

Plus, in the pic the woman is clearly already saying something to him. I'm sure he took the picture after she told him not to. Then when she got angry, he responded equally aggressively, and continued to take photos to be belligerent. She hit him either because of that or because he called her a cunt or a nigger. He likely kept instigating until the end. I'm not saying she was in the right, but his whole argument of "I've never been hit by a strange WHITE women" doesn't hold up because he would've treated her differently had she been white. He tweeted a pic he took of a white women in a similar place, but she had her backed turned to him. I'll listen to Ant tell the story when they come back, and maybe he'll seem more honest when he goes into detail.

He mentioned on the show earlier in the day that he was taking pictures of women, and that they were fair game because they were showing themselves "without the expectation of privacy" or some shit

lol

Let's see if the "above all else...REAL" radio show covers this one

[deleted]

What else can we do to them when they dress like that?

[deleted]

I think she was good looking and Ant took a creep shot or a shot to make fun of black people. It escalated and both were slinging racial slurs. Ant was getting punched but he couldn't do shit because it was twilight and a bunch of other blacks were around. Even though the black woman was built like a brick shithouse it wasn't really doing much damage and retaliation risked a gang beating or getting murdered by the other black people there. Lets face it, not a lot of black business executives out there at 3 in the morning.

Pretty sure the creep shot was for some late night cranking in a drunken-self-shaming fury and cumming to the racial hypocrisy that is his life.

Maybe if the black executive was into taking creep shots

It was barely after midnight so the possibility that this woman was just out for an evening dinner is higher that it would be at 3am.

Nothing that you speculated still justifies her attacking him. She committed a crime. He did not.

Opie has walked around New York taking video of random people.

opie doesn't look like one of the people from the faces of meth website.

If that black woman had punched Opie, I would have launched a national investigation just so i could find her and thank her.

The fuck ever. If you piss a bitch off enough to warrant a beating, take that shit, and get over it. You sound like a soccer mom. He should get a lawyer huh?

Savage culture.

Thank god. Someone finally made a thread about this.

You know for somebody that talks a lot of shit to guys with "girl names" it would really be unfair to him to call in all day and mock that he got beat by a woman.

I've lived in a city virtually my entire life. Been mugged once, without having any "whitey" or "white boy" epithets thrown at me. I don't know if that makes me typical or not, but it sure seems convenient that on the rare occasion Ant's in the city it happens to him. It also fits his "when Zimmerman is acquitted blacks will riot"/"Obama president NAHHH" paranoia.

In my city everyone is assaulted equally with nary a hint of racism. That's the way it should be.

Who's doing the assaulting?

What's real odd are his reasons for not going to the cops when A) he seems to have a lot of pull with the force with all his PBA cards and Keith connection and B) half of them listen to the show.

First he said "Wish a cop was around. Although she said she'd tell them I sexually harassed her. Lying cunt. I hope she gets shot in her ass fuck face. Ugh" Link So she she was attacking him while yelling if you go to the cops I'll tell them you tried to rape me?

Then later it was "RT @WelshContrarian: @AnthonyCumia did you actually try to press charges? -No! It doesn't work! White guy/ Black "girl". We're doomed!" Link Not reporting female on male violent crime for fear of being arrested instead is a fairly reasonable excuse, but saying he didn't because it was black on white, is pretty dubious as well.

The answer is simple he doesnt want any more publicity on the subject no matter how well he does in court or even if he wins and the girl gets time theres going to be a moment when the girl will recount to the court what ant was yelling at her and oohhhh boyyyy im sure theres going to be a lot of n words there. And for the boys working on a radio show this would mean probably getting fired again

Im pretty sure opie, jimmy and even anthony are right now praying theres no video of ant calling this girl some of the most horrid racist things he could think about.

So he was too afraid of the publicity to bring this woman to justice, yet still put out on twitter that he called her a nigger? Doesn't add up.

He doesn't want justice, he wants sympathy and a chance to indulge in his irrational hatred.

He was probably competing for her turf, while wearing mommy's shoes.

ant is a fucking idiot

It's not like walking around Time Square at 2 in the morning alone under a scaffolding USED to be a good idea. I lived off of Times Square during Giuliani's 90's that are rememered so fondly and at night you kept your head on a swivel and avoided enclosed places and unpopulated side streets. It's been a dangerous place forever.

I think the reason why people are having a hard time believing anthony on this reddit is because the situation that took place is almost too perfect.

At least he was smart enough not to pull his gun on her.

[deleted]

For someone who made a lot of points of black people stepping up and being more proactive in stopping crimes, he sure is set on not getting the cops involved in this one. Even with him having a character witness like kenny to back him up, whatever that would do.

That's pretty detailed for knowing nothing but a person's radio personality and reading some tweets.

[deleted]

I'LL TELL YA WHAT REEALLLLY HAPPENED.

Yeah fucking right.

No, we don't know what happened. We don't have any facts.

He's a night owl type of guy so it's possible he was just out taking random photos.

That's about as much of his story I believe. He has two photos of her heading towards him. Even if he didn't mouth off before getting hit, you can sure as shit bet he said something afterwards. And the weird italian guy saying nigger while being punched by a black woman is sure to draw some attention.

https://twitter.com/AnthonyCumia/status/484429874119979008

Confirmed Anthony is a creeper.

[deleted]

Imagine what his father would say if he knew Ant got beat up by a black girl?

At least he got rid of those pissy eyes, and dolls.

They were action figures!

I don't know why you guys are beating up ant. Let me speculate the other way with sound reason. I think we can mostly agree that ant is a pussy when it comes to aggravated confrontation; So to say that he antagonized this person would be in my opinion, far-fetched. Here's where it gets weird. I live in long island and work in manhattan just like ant. Through my experiences that I've witnessed first hand the black people here in New York become extremely volatile when they feel that they have be negatively affected by another person and always have half a mind to violently assault especially during an aggravated confrontation.

I can't believe all the posts here implying that Ant was asking for it, or got what he deserved.

When you're in public, you don't have a right not to have your picture taken. Whatever his motive, however impolite you think his taking a picture was, none of that justifies a physical attack. She's just as wrong as if she attacked him for nothing, out of nowhere.

While he doesn't deserve it merely for his action, he should've known better if there was a verbal altercation that he of course isn't going to back down from if it's a loud minority.

It's also karma for all the shit said and done, and all the shows and humor potential grinded to a half when ranting about Obama or Trayvon. In the context of that, it's harder to sympathize with him.

tsssss hold on i got a good 1..

grindeded to a half? why not like grind it to a whole or sumthin?

That's not what people are saying at all. It's his bullshit story of how it went down that is at issue.

How the fuck do you assume his story is bullshit?

I'm not assuming there is, I'm saying there is about an 80% chance it is bullshit. I don't think it needs to be explained a 20th time in this thread.

There isn't a sensible explanation in this thread, just morons assuming that he must have deserved it somehow while making excuses for this chimp.

ed/

80% chance it is bullshit

not assuming

You aren't exactly doing a good job of being taken seriously.

You still haven't answered the question. And of course I'm not being taken seriously, I'm not willing to make excuses for this bitch and pretend shes not an animal.

The question has been answered in this thread multiple times. You've already made up your narrow mind anyways.

How the fuck do you assume his story is bullshit?

There isn't a single reason posted that would make me think he is lying, if you have one I'm all ears. Idiots making excuses for her are the "narrow minded". It's trayvon all over again.

I haven't seen anyone give her any high fives for beating the crap out of him. Where are you getting that from? No one said that was right either.

Unless she hit him with a right.

The majority of the upvoted, top level comments are bashing him.

You apparently didn't read what I wrote.

I would say that the people who think photography is a crime and that being racist deserves being assaulted have narrow minds.

I make my living by photographing people in public. I'm well aware of the law. You have to understand you are also dealing with people. You have to calculate your risks.

Just because it is legal, doesn't mean it is smart. It's pretty stupid to be hanging out in a dark spot at 3am photographing 'scaffolding'. You are inviting issues.

I feel for the victims of photography. We should set up a fund to help them get through these troubling times of rampant photography on our streets.

Yeah, if I leave my radio in my car and it gets broken into, it's my fault. But it sucks.

A lot of it is because people just don't realize that when they are in public they have no expectation of privacy. It's the whole reason CCTV is legal.

Somehow it's worse if you are visible for some reason.

this is true, but we also live in reality, where if you take pictures of strangers on the street in new york at 3 in the morning you are drastically increasing your chances of some violent person reacting poorly.

You're right but that's also victim blaming.

But it's kind of funny you can't enjoy one of the most amazing cities in America because of diversity.

...and yet millions do every year without being "randomly" assaulted, much less in Times Square which is fucking Disneyland.

If you look at his twitter feed he admits that he was taking a picture of her.

"A person walking under scaffolding. A totally reasonable pic."

"Her or anyone walking through the scaffolding is the shot."

Yeah, he definitely asked for it. It doesn't matter if it's legal. It would piss me off if some random person was taking pictures of me.

I hope spending the night in jail is worth assaulting someone for taking your picture.

I don't know where you live, but doing that in midtown at 3am is completely fucking mentally retarded.

Yes in a perfect world, blah blah blah. Reality is, not everyone plays by the rules. Black and white.

Black and white indeed.

[deleted]

Well most girls don't take kindly of OLD CREEPY UNATTRACTIVE men taking their pictures. If Ant was young and hot there would have been no issue.

Ant can only be attractive if he tapes his bank statement to his shirt. Chicks are cunts like that.

I bet Sam leaned his head out of a passing car and said "ooooooooooooh he's saying black people are violent savages, what are you gonna do?"

The only thing that makes me not believe your scenario is that this woman is obviously over the age of 13yo... that is not the age of hotness predatory Ant seems to acknowledge.

[deleted]

It's quite disturbing imagining Anthony walking around 3 AM looking for a fight with black people. If that was the intention (just speculating) then he has completely lost it....

[deleted]

Would makes sense why didn't want to involve cops, out late probably drinking loaded firearm on self in NYC, even with permit.

So, I guess it would be ok for me if......

A woman was taking my picture on the street while saying "Hey ugly, fuckface, dickhead, piece of shit." and, as a man, I went over and started beating the shit out of her?

[deleted]

I don't know if he said anything. I was just reversing the roles because so many people are defending her violent actions. So I was making a weak attempt at gender switching. Like hey, could I beat the shit out of a woman if she took my picture and perhaps said bad things to me like people are claiming Ant did? I'm one of the few that side with Ant.

I'm honestly disappointed that he handled it like such a bitch. He gets beat up by a woman, and then runs to the Internet to complain about it.

Fuckin' pissy eyes

I wish I could have seen it happen. Ant out at 3AM probably drunk, taking pictures of random chicks, and then one beats the shit out of him. I love the guy, but the whole situation is hilarious.

[deleted]

Really, old man racist and quite frankly, ugly as shit Cumia gets the shit beaten out of him by a woman and then spends hours complaining like a little girl on twitter? Man he really is a lonely old and extremely ugly man.

Do we?

Just this week he was talking about taking pictures into people's windows and it was their fault for having them 'open.' I doubt he was taking pictures of the landscape...

He just got a new lens... It was mentioned on Monday or Tuesdays show.

I bet he called her a tranny under his breath(which being drunk was probably loud) and she reacted.

No he asked are you a Tranny or hey do you have a cock under that dress how much?

Lil Jimmy has rubbed off on him he was wanting to see what all the hubbub was about.

You could hear him on Tuesday's show clicking away with his new SLR (when Sandy Kane walked in.) It was obviously a new toy he was excited about. He obviously enjoys photography, and the photos we saw today of the black woman who hit him is framed perfectly by a scaffold. A shot he obviously set up before hand. I don't think he a.) found a black woman attractive (drunk or not) or b.) snapped a photo of her "walking by." I highly doubt Ant staggers through the streets of NYC like a bum while intoxicated. He barely ever leaves his own house unless it's to gamble.

There's a video that went viral recently of some kid pointing a camera at people while actually taking selfies of himself in public. You'll find it. Take note of how the black subjects react to having a camera pointing at them.

I love how people keep saying "take note of the black peoples' reactions." The younger, thuggier looking ones reacted physically, one guy posed and laughed, and the rest asked what the fuck he was doing. There's not really an across the board consistent reaction.

Every black subject resorted to violence, or was about to, except for one. None of the whites attacked him. Don't ignore it.

Agreed. Very violent reaction from this guy in particular.

Copying Stern again.

What a bunch of hens clucking in this thread. A couple of you have posted ALOT in the *anthony threads. Holy fuck.

UTTER DRECK!

Breathing a sigh of relief. We came SO close to the end of Ant's career here. If he swung back, he'd be finished.

Drunk at 3 AM? sounds like he didn't want to go in to work and thought "oh I know, ill just get my ass kicked and get the day off"

You do realize that they had announced several days earlier that they would be taking the rest of the week off for the holiday weekend, right? The replay today had nothing to do with last night.

It was barely after midnight. Go look at the first tweet's time stamp fer chisssakes.

Your all a bunch of fucking women! Who cares what happened. Just enjoy the show or don't.

What you've provided there is no solution to anything, well done.

You're

The reason: She's a third world animal. There is no expectation of privacy in public.

I like how on this thread everyone is agreeing that Ant is in the wrong, yet when I said that on the other thread everyone disagree'd with me and I got down-voted to hell.

Language, sir. Please.

Fuck. Happy?

Maybe people just like it when you are wrong. Try a third and fourth thread and make sure one is the "control" thread in your double blind scientific study of arbitrary reddit fickleness. You can probably get a grant.

Bit of a stretch.

Therein lies the fun.

Well ... I did. Down-vote me all you want but that's exactly what happened.

Well, that was different.
