Joy Taylor is trending in the streets of X (formerly Twitter) after Noushin Faraji ran her Carfax Report in her bombshell lawsuit against Fox Sports.
In case you missed it, Noushin, who worked as a hairstylist at the network for nearly 10 years, sued Fox Sports, alleging sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and retaliation involving Skip Bayless, Charlie Dixon, and workplace misconduct.
The Allegations Unpacked
Noushin Faraji, who worked at Fox Sports for nearly a decade, claims she endured a hostile work environment rife with inappropriate behavior from top executives and on-air talent.
- Skip Bayless: Faraji alleges Bayless offered her $1.5 million for sex and spread false rumors about her having an affair with former FS1 host Shannon Sharpe.
- Charlie Dixon: Faraji accuses Dixon, an FS1 executive vice president, of groping her on multiple occasions and leveraging his position to cover up misconduct.
- Joy Taylor: The lawsuit alleges Taylor used personal relationships with Dixon and Acho to advance her career. Faraji also claims Taylor dismissed her complaints about harassment, telling her to “get over it.”
Joy Taylor’s Alleged Involvement
Taylor, a prominent FS1 host, is facing sharp scrutiny in the lawsuit.
Faraji accuses her of leveraging sexual relationships with Charlie Dixon and Emmanuel Acho to secure career opportunities.
The filing details:
- Dixon Relationship: Faraji alleges Taylor began an affair with Dixon in 2016, despite both being married. Faraji claims Taylor’s then-husband, Richard Giannotti, divorced her after discovering evidence of infidelity.
- Acho Relationship: Taylor is accused of pursuing a romantic relationship with Emmanuel Acho in 2020 to gain a spot on his show, “Speak for Yourself.”
