Fox 2 anchor Vic Faust is currently going viral for making derogatory remarks off-air against a female co-host of his radio show.
As per a report published by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on September 19, the former WXYZ-TV anchor ranted for almost four minutes against his colleague, Crystal Cooper, at the end of his hard-rock station KFNS (100.7 FM) radio show.
Vic Faust's off-air tirade, which was anonymously recorded and sent to the outlet, took place on September 13 at around 9:50 am. He belittled his co-host using sexist remarks and foul language at least 40 times.
The outlet further reports that Faust's verbal rant began after he became "irked" by Crystal's comments on his computer skills. While the duo were hosting the show live, Faust called Cooper "a liar" and "stupid" for discussing a topic that he considered foolish.
After going off-air, Vic reportedly took issue with Cooper's weight and called her "fat," while also using "a curse word most commonly directed at women," as per the outlet.
Vic Faust threatened Crystal Cooper about returning to the show
Continuing his lengthy rant, Vic Faust branded Crystal Cooper "self-righteous" and even brought up her high school institution as an insult.
"You think you’re special because you went to Villa (Duchesne).”
He went on to threaten Crystal and warned her not to return to the show, which Faust claimed was something he arranged for her.
“If you come back, I’m going to be in your (expletive) every (expletive) day. I will call you a (expletive) every day.”
After Crystal reminded Vic that he was not her boss and that she would return to the show, he said:
“Then I will nail your (expletives) … I will do whatever I (expletive) need to do to you.”
The heated conversation began to cool down as the hosts got ready to go on-air to conclude the show. However, Faust took a hurtful dig at Cooper's parenting skills and said:
“Your kids have a (expletive) terrible mom. I feel sorry for them.”
Detroit Free Press states that, as per Crystal Cooper's Facebook, she resigned from her job at the radio station on the very same day of the argument. The radio station is based in Troy, Missouri, with studios near Lake Saint Louis.
