Ron the Waiter Claims Anthony Kumia DMing Him — Turns Out to Be Fake
"I've never DM'd Ron." — Anthony Cumia, live in Karl's chat while the drama unfolds
In one of the most entertaining catfish reveals in Dabbleverse history, Ron the Waiter's claims that Anthony Cumia was privately DMing him turned out to be the work of a fake account. The saga unfolded over two days on Opie with Ron, culminating in Opie setting Ron up for a devastating on-air confrontation. Ron had been telling Opie that Anthony was sending DMs calling him brilliant, saying Opie doesn't appreciate him. Opie, showing rare preparation, had a clip ready from the previous day and Anthony happened to be watching Karl's show live in the chat at the same time. The reveal was devastating. Opie woke up to a text from the real Anthony: "One of your problems is that you believe everything anyone tells you. I've never DM'd Ron." Anthony typed in Karl's chat confirming: "I've never DM'd Ron." Ron desperately pivoted to claiming WATP had also been DMing him offering a "full-time job" — Karl immediately dismissed: "I'm the only full-time employee here at WATP." The aftermath split opinions: either Ron was catfished by a fake account (the O in Anthony was a zero), or he's deliberately stirring the pot. Dean from Australia offered the sharpest take: Ron is recycling Karl's on-air commentary back to Opie as if it comes from Anthony. Either way, real Anthony had to remember his Facebook password for the first time in years just to message: "Hey dummy, it's not me."
