St. Louis Anchor Unleashes Profane Tirade at Female Colleague

While Nexstar is dealing with the shitshow happening at their LA station, look what went down at their St. Louis property….

While hosting a radio show last week, KTVI Anchor Vic Faust went off co-host Crystal Cooper and It was ugly.

Faust used profanity at least 40 times in a roughly four-minute tirade that berated Cooper for her weight and parenting skills, among other things.

You can listen to an edited version of what went down below:

KTVI Anchor Vic Faust Berates Colleague

When contacted by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Faust confirmed that the confrontation took place.

“Well, it is,” Faust said when told the audio clip was profane. He said there was “background” to the story but declined to comment further.

Faust anchors the Nexstar station’s 5 PM and 9 PM newscasts on the Fox affiliate.

His bio is still on the station’s website, but after listening to this clip, you have to wonder for how long?

I have been in enough newsrooms to see tempers flare, but when you start insulting a woman about her weight and her parenting skills, how is he not fired?

Also, it should be pointed out that Nexstar has a no-swearing policy and I think we can safely say he violated that more than a few times.

I think this week is ending up to be a bad one for Nexstar and its CEO Perry Sook.

Stay tuned…
