Seems like a non-issue. Opie basically wanted to clear up a couple of points and Ant cleared up what he meant. It really doesn't seem like there is any hate coming from either one. I would also like to think that Opie cleared it with Ant Sharing the texts (If not its a little bit of a violation).
They are basically work friends who use to be closer in their early radio days and now that they don't work together they aren't really in contact that much anymore.
Not much to see here aside from maybe Ope showing that he is still in Ant's good standing. Still, odd to share private PMs with another guy with the press.
If he sent those texts without getting the ok from Ant first then that is way out of line. Right from the start he has been spinning this so it doesn't look like he cut Ant loose. Suggesting that Ant wanted to go out on his own (directly contradicted by Ant), saying they couldn't leave Sirius and join him because of their contract (they re-signed anyway).
In his response to TheBlaze’s story on Cumia’s comments, Gregg “Opie” Hughes provided TheBlaze the text of a message he sent to his former radio partner after watching the video above:
Was sent the video of u talking about our relationship…found it fair but just so you know I never resented you having a girlfriend. I was happy for u cause I knew how miserable u were being married. Also…lots [are] getting the impression I haven’t talked to you at all since this all went down and you know this isn’t true. Really would like to know why they think this. Anytime you want to have a beer [or] grab a bite just let me know… hope all is well.
Opie also provided us with Cumia’s response back to him:
Yes! I’d love to. In the city tonight for Book of Mormon finally! I was actually saying we both haven’t talked to each other in a while. Didn’t want it to come off like we haven’t spoken at all. As you know, it’s hard to pick every word knowing how the fans and haters will pick them apart. I’d love to get together and catch up though.

It's insane that fans give a shit about whether or not two guys call each other, like you're their goddamn mothers.

Some of you just can't let shit go and care way too much about the personal lives of these two. Let it go.

When you're calling text messages "PMs," that might be a sign you're spending too much time on Reddit.

I love a good feel good story.

lol opie actually sent pictures of the texts to The Blaze?
Remember when they gave Macklemoore shit for posting his text to Kendra Lamar after the Grammys on instagram? This is arguably worse.

Not sure how I feel about him sharing those texts word for word. Didn't he blast that shitty Macklemore for doing something similar?
I can't put my finger on it but there's just something odd about this.

Don't you think you're making the situation sound (way) more charged than it actually is?
