TAMPA, FLORIDA: Florida-based radio host Mike Calta recently sparked online outrage when a video of him verbally assaulting a female fan went viral. As soon as the video began making the rounds, viewers denounced him for harassing a woman and demanded that she receive justice.
Calta started hosting 'The Cowhead Show' in 2006 with alternating guest hosts. He ditched the "Cowhead" moniker in 2014 and changed the show's name from 'The Cowhead Show' to 'The Mike Calta Show.'
Who is Mike Calta's wife?
Radio host Calta is married to his college sweetheart, Amanda Calta and they have two children together.
As per her private Instagram account bio, Amanda is a "Mom, Wife, Therapist, Mispronouncer of words with accented letters, GPS Dependent, 90’s Hip Hop enthusiast, and Aspiring 11th member of Wu-Tang Clan."
According to her website 'Cognifit LLC,' Amanda is a "Licensed Clinical Social Worker and NASM Certified Nutrition Coach dedicated to helping my clients realize their diet and fitness goals by starting at the source."
The bio on her website further reads: "My experience as a therapist and serial dieter has taught me that the continuous cycle of inaccurate thoughts and maladaptive behaviors, and not personal failure, is what ultimately causes us to fall short of our desired outcomes."
"I practice what I preach, and through embarking on my own mental and physical fitness journey I’ve found that sometimes a simple shift in perspective is all we need to get started on BIG changes," Amanda's bio continues.
Calta began his radio career in 1992 in Tampa, Florida, working as an intern for Top-40 channel 93.3 WFLZ. He is originally from Staten Island, New York.
Mike Calta verbally assaults a woman in public
A viral video shows Calta being approached by a female fan who is probably trying to get his autograph. Things spun out of control when he refused.
The woman was shocked when Calta took her phone and wouldn't give it back to her unless she assured him that she would leave the area and stop recording the radio host on her cellphone.
Calta says that he doesn't "give a s**t" and emphasizes that the female fan was not authorized to film him when the woman demands her phone back. The woman said the phone was her property and that he had no right to take it away from her.
Several Reddit users who saw Calta harass a female fan claim that the incident occurred at a gun store in Tampa, where Calta was one of the hosts of a radio show.
The video has received a lot of negative feedback online. While many want Calta to pay for his acts, others are asking for justice on the woman's behalf.
