A St. Louis radio host has been exposed in a leaked recording for launching an offensive attack on a female colleague.
Fox 2 anchor Vic Faust was recorded during a commercial break going on a profanity-ridden diatribe against Crystal Cooper in which he repeatedly called her “nasty,” “stupid,” and “fat” after she poked fun at his computer skills on the KFNS morning show The Edge.
Faust’s monumental meltdown took place last week. Audio of the heated exchange was leaked to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and part of the on-air show was broadcast on YouTube.

Off air, Faust accused Cooper of being a know-it-all. When Cooper pushed back on the accusation, he responded, “Then shut the f*** up!”
At different points during the verbal beat down, Faust called Cooper “trash” and took aim at her parenting skills. “You’re a f***ing mom; you don’t even know the topics we’re talking about,” he said. “You’re just stupid.”
Cooper also got in a few jabs, telling Faust to “grow the f*** up,” to which he responded, “You grow the f*** up, you fat f***.”
At one point, Faust told Cooper not to come back to work, which she claimed he couldn’t demand because he was not her boss. Cooper’s Facebook page said she left the station on Sept. 13, the day she and Faust fought.
In addition to his radio gig, Faust is a news anchor on KTVI, a Fox affiliate, and co-hosts the 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. shifts.
