Longtime shock jock Anthony Cumia has been fired from his "Opie & Anthony" radio gig after unleashing a racially charged Twitter rant on Tuesday.

SiriusXM made the decision to release Cumia after he took to the social media website to vent about a run in he had with a black woman in Times Square.

The 53-year-old satellite radio host claims that the woman repeatedly punched him early Tuesday after he had taken some pictures with her in the frame.

The company released a statement that read:

"SiriusXM has terminated its relationship with Anthony Cumia of the Opie & Anthonychannel. The decision was made, and Cumia informed, late Thursday, July 3, after careful consideration of his racially charged and hate-filled remarks on social media. Those remarks and postings are abhorrent to SiriusXM, and his behavior is wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXM represents."

Cumia once again took to twitter to give his response, choosing to stick to his guns.

"Sirius decided to cave and fire me. Welcome to bizarro world..." he tweeted Friday morning.

"After the weekend, I'll have a better idea of things. F*** Sirius."

Despite calling the woman a "pig" and a "savage violent animal," Cumia has previously said he isn't in the wrong.

"My posts on Twitter after I was assaulted were profanity laced indeed but racist? Nope. Why should I afford my attacker any courtesy. Insane," he tweeted.

Then she punched me 5 more times. She's lucky I was a white legal gun owner or she'd be dead. Then 5 blacks started giving me shit!

It's really open season on white people in this day and age. No recourse. Fight back and you're a racist. The predators know this. Good luck

The switch to violence is immediate. No discussion, just violence. When will THAT be addressed? Oh, right, never. Slavery did it? Oh, ok.

Sirius XM fired shock jock Anthony Cumia of the "Opie & Anthony" radio show last week, after a series of "racially-charged" and "hate-filled" remarks on Twitter.

"SiriusXM has terminated its relationship with Anthony Cumia of the Opie & Anthony channel. The decision was made, and Cumia informed, late Thursday, July 3 after careful consideration of his racially-charged and hate-filled remarks on social media," the satellite radio broadcaster, which has been airing "Opie & Anthony" since 2004, said in a statement. "Those remarks and postings are abhorrent to SiriusXM, and his behavior is wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXM represents."

Cumia, who was one of the company's most prominent talk-show hosts and whose career spans two decades and includes three firings, alleged in a tweet last week that he was punched in the face by a black woman who had stepped into the frame while he was taking a photograph in New York's Times Square.

"This was an animal," Cumia wrote on Twitter. "I shoulda smashed it's face."

He also added: "She's lucky I was a white legal gun owner or she'd be dead. Then 5 blacks started giving me (expletive)!"

"It's really open season on white people in this day and age," Cumia wrote. "No recourse. Fight back and you're a racist." Cumia said he defended himself without hitting back.

The tweets were deleted from Cumia's Twitter feed Saturday morning, one day after his firing, though Gawker has compiled many of them.

Cumia again took to Twitter, this time to criticize the decision to fire him.

"Sirius decided to cave and fire me. Welcome to bizarro world. Fired for (expletive) that wasn't even on the air & wasn't illegal. So, who's next?," he wrote Friday in a post that has since been deleted.

Asked by one Twitter user if he had reported the alleged incident to authorities, Cumia said that he could take punches without wasting the police's time.

This is the latest in a string of controversies to follow the radio show duo "Opie and Anthony." Cumia, along with partner Gregg "Opie" Hughes, was fired in 1998 over a broadcast on Boston station WAAF-AM, over a hoax in which the DJs claimed then-mayor Thomas Menino had died in a car accident. And in 2002, Infinity Broadcasting, now known as CBS Radio, canceled their show after they encouraged a couple to have sex in Manhattan's St. Patrick's Cathedral as part of a contest promoted on the show.

More than 6,000 supporters joined an online petition asking Sirius XM to reinstate Cumia.

Sirius XM has yet to comment on the future of Hughes or the "Opie & Anthony Channel."
