Joy Taylor Makes First Television Appearance Since Bombshell Fox Sports Lawsuit

Joy Taylor has been the talk of the internet for the last few days after Noushin Faraji, a former Fox Sports hairdresser, filed a lawsuit accusing the sports commentator of personal and professional misconduct. The media personality has now made her first television appearance since the suit, and internet users had a field day analyzing the dynamic between her and her co-hosts.

Taylor joined her co-hosts Keyshawn Johnson, Paul Pierce, and Michael Irvin on Monday evening’s (Jan. 6) edition of Speak and treated the show like it was business as usual. “Welcome to ‘Speak!’” she exclaimed. “I’m Joy Taylor here with Keyshawn Johnson, Paul Pierce, and the playmaker Michael Irvin.” The crew discussed the final weekend of the NFL regular season, which had multiple games with major playoff implications.

“She put them ti**ies away today lmao,” one fan wrote, pointing out the 37-year-old host’s noticeably modest outfit. Throughout the weekend, fans resurfaced old clips of her television appearances where she wore low-cut tops, took selfies, and more. The lawsuit revealed her alleged sexual relationships with co-host Emmanuel Acho and Executive Vice President Of Content Charlie Dixon, the latter of whom Faraji claims Taylor utilized to get higher positioning at Fox Sports.

“Look at all those unnecessary movements to act like they don’t know what’s going on,” another fan wrote. “This dude [Keyshawn Johnson] just threw a pitch *laughing emojis*.” The Super Bowl champion and his fellow male co-hosts noticeably stood with significant distance between themselves and Joy Taylor, and internet users quickly acknowledged that. “All them random movements from Keyshawn and Michael Irvin let you know the set was awkward lmao,” another user added.

Beyond revealing Taylor’s alleged sexual relationships with co-workers, one of Noushin Faraji’s biggest accusations was her being complicit in sexual harassment. Dixon allegedly grabbed Faraji’s buttocks at an event, and when she told Taylor, she claims her response was to “get over it.”

Faraji’s lawsuit also mentioned Skip Bayless, who allegedly offered her $1.5 million to have sex with him. Soon after, he allegedly attempted to make another sexual advance, to which Faraji replied “Skip, stop, you have a wife.” He allegedly countered with “Aren’t you Muslim? Doesn’t your dad have three to four wives?” to which Faraji informed him that her father was dead and made an excuse to leave when Bayless looked taken aback. He also allegedly accused her of having sex with his former Undisputed co-host Shannon Sharpe. Read more details from the lawsuit here.
