Quote:Jock Shocks in Court
Anthony Cumia and his wife, Jennifer, leaving court yesterday.
"Opie & Anthony" shock jock Anthony Cumia reached a deal in his divorce from his wife, Jennifer, after a Manhattan Supreme Court hearing yesterday that was almost as kinky as one of his shows.
In cross-examination by Jennifer's lawyer, Dominic Barbara, Cumia admitted he and his wife had engaged in a frisky ménage à trois during their 11-year marriage.
"Was there another woman you were seeing at that time?" asked Barbara.
"Yes," replied the WNEW talkmeister.
"Was she one of the thirdsome [sic] in bed?" asked the lawyer.
"Yes," said Cumia.
When Barbara asked him if he had left Jennifer for another woman, Cumia replied: "It was more complicated than that."
Shortly after the grilling, Anthony, Jennifer and their lawyers went behind closed doors and emerged two hours later, announcing they had a settlement.
Details remained confidential, but Barbara told The News' Helen Peterson, "You saw how happy she was. She went skipping out of here."
Anthony had no comment.
Last year, Greg (Opie) Hughes and Cumia reportedly signed a $30 million, three-year syndication deal. And while Cumia denied knowing how much he was worth, Barbara said there was a report putting the value of his celebrity status at $100 million.
Jennifer Cumia filed for divorce in 1999. She and Cumia met in 1987 while he was working for a Long Island air conditioning and heating company and she was tending bar nearby.
They married on May 19, 1990 — a date Cumia could not recall in court.
