A Missouri radio host attacked his co-host in an insane and sexist off-air rant, calling her a poor mother and expressing sympathy for her children.
According to recordings acquired by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Fox 2 news anchor Vic Faust attacked co-host Crystal Cooper during an expletive-filled tirade on her looks and intelligence. According to reports, the remarks were made on the hard-rock station KFNS on September 13 during a commercial break.
“Your kids have a (expletive) terrible mom. I feel sorry for them,” Faust said.
A shocked Cooper could only reply “Wow, wow.”
According to the St. Louis newspaper, Faust allegedly violently yelled at Cooper, “You’re nothing, you’re trash,” and other derogatory terms like “fat,” “dumb,” and “ugly.”
He said, “You’re a (expletive) mom, you don’t even know the topics we’re talking about. You’re just stupid.”
According to the publication, Cooper made light of Faust’s computer issues when the two were on air, which is thought to be the cause of the harsh verbal abuse.
Cooper was advised by Faust not to return to the show off-air.
“If you come back, I’m going to be in your (expletive) every (expletive) day,” he said.
Cooper spoke up for herself during the nasty incident, constantly ordering Faust to “grow up.”
The off-air comments were confirmed by Faust to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Additionally, he stated that the incident had “background,” although he did not elaborate.
The tabloid said that it was given the damning audio clip on Friday in an anonymous manner.
According to the Post-Dispatch, Cooper reportedly quit the programme the same day she was subjected to a barrage of slurs.
