If the captain wasn't onboard with the FO's attitude, then the captain owns part of that anyway. They should have either told the FO to quit it or straight taken the radios away.
The other option is, like you said, the captain instigated it via the FO, in which case the captain owns most of it. The FO didn't need to be a ****, so they own that part.
