MEDIA LOSER: St. Louis News Anchor Vic Faust St. Louis news anchor Vic Faust berated a female colleague in an ugly and expletive-laced off-air rant. Audio of the exchange between the two Fox 2 news hosts was published by the St. Louis Dispatch this week, and Faust has since confirmed the confrontation occurred. Faust lost it during the end of his morning radio show on 100.7 KFNS when his co-host Crystal Cooper poked fun at his computer abilities. In his verbal tirade, Faust calls Cooper “fat”, “stupid”, “nasty”, and even tells her to not come back to the show, claiming she has a history of attacking him on the air. “You’re a f*cking mom, you don’t even know the topics we’re talking about. You’re just stupid,” Faust said. He later added that he felt bad for Cooper’s kids and claimed he’d made multiple complaints about her allegedly attacking him on air. “Your kids have a f*cking terrible mom. I feel sorry for them,” he said prompting Cooper to tell Faust he was acting "immature" and to "grow up." Faust also told Cooper he’d tell her “you’re a f*cking fat, nasty bitch” every day if she came back to work, to which his co-host informed him that he isn’t her boss and can't determine her ability to go to work. As Faust got more and more vulgar and heated, one voice off-mic can be heard trying to convince him to stop. The audio was recorded Tuesday and Faust did not show up for his regular hosting duties that night on Fox affiliate KTVI, a Nexstar station Faust has since apologized for the tirade, calling for an "open dialogue about respect in the workplace and forgiveness." |
