Sports television host and media personality Joy Taylor found herself entangled in a web of allegations centered on people within Fox Sports 1 including Skip Bayless, EVP Charlie Dixon, and Taylor herself. When the news broke out, internet detectives were quick to search social media and dig for any content that could add more “juice” to the news, and they found a photo showing both the accused and the accuser in one frame.
News broke that a former Fox Sports 1 hairstylist by the name of Noushin Faraji had filed a lawsuit against people from the network, internet detectives on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to put their sleuth hats on and dig for content related to the case, and one of the photos they found was a photo of Joy Taylor together with the plaintiff Faraji, as the latter fixes Taylor’s hair.
“Twitter detectives are undefeated,” one user commented, amazed by how people were able to dig content as old as the photo, which was posted way back in 2017.

Taylor’s name was also included in the lawsuit, although not as a perpetrator, but more as an enabler of the abuse that Faraji allegedly experienced.

How is Joy Taylor Connected to Skip Bayless Allegations?
Part of the 42-page lawsuit filed by Faraji alleged that Skip Bayless, among other things, offered her $1.5 million for sex. Joy Taylor was not part of any accusations, but she allegedly refused to take action when Faraji shed the incident to light.

The report from Front Office Sports read: “In the suit filed Friday in Los Angeles, Faraji alleges that Dixon, the head of content for FS1, grabbed her buttocks at a birthday party in West Hollywood. When she relayed the encounter to Taylor, the Fox host allegedly told her to ‘get over it,’ according to the suit.”
“When Ms. Faraji and others came forward to report the wrongdoing, instead of addressing their concerns, Fox retaliated against them while the perpetrators and those who protected them were inexplicably promoted,” it continued. “This case thus represents yet another in a long line of cases chronicling the toxic culture at Fox, marked by bad faith promises and repeated failures to address a poisonous and entrenched patriarchy.”
Fox Sports acknowledged the lawsuit, saying: “We take these allegations seriously and have no further comment at this time given this pending litigation.”
Neither Joy Taylor nor Skip Bayless so far has commented on the issue and allegations.
