Anthony Cumia Charged with Strangling His Girlfriend, So His Fans Call Her a Liar & a Cunt 

On Sunday night, a woman reported to be radio shock jock Anthony Cumia’s girlfriend livestreamed a video from his home in which she said he had just physically assaulted her: “I got my hand broken, I’m waiting for police to come,” she said, showing the camera her bruises. Cumia has been criminally charged, and his fans are taking it real, real well.

The woman is Dani Golightly, 26, real name Danielle Brand, an aspiring comic and the daughter of Vinnie Brand, who owns the Stress Factory comedy club in New Jersey. Court records show that Cumia has been charged with two felonies against her: strangulation in the second degree and criminal mischief in the third degree, as well as two misdemeanors, preventing an emergency call and unlawful imprisonment. Strangulation is a class D violent felony offense, punishable by up to seven years in prison; the criminal mischief charge carries a possible prison sentence of up to four years.

Cumia, a known racist, sexist, and Islamophobe, has a loyal and unhinged Twitter following. After she livestreamed the incident, they’ve devoted themselves to telling Golightly that she’s a cunt liar who’s obviously faking it. A tiny, tiny sampling:
