The 37-year-old is also alleged to have used 'her sexuality to get on a show' in 2020, when she sought a spot on Acho's program 'Speak'. She later replaced former defensive end Wiley, who worked on the show between 2018 and 2022. Taylor then began hosting alongside Acho and, in the wake of the bombshell allegations, Wiley has hinted that it was not a coincidence.

Joy Taylor (R) is alleged to have had a sexual relationship with Emmanuel Acho (L). Ex-NFL player Marcellus Wiley has hinted that the 'love triangle' cost him his job with Fox. 'I never heard that Charlie Dixon and Joy Taylor were sleeping together,' Wiley said. 'But, upon hearing that, I’m not gonna lie to y’all. It makes a lot of things make sense. It unlocks a lot for me.'.

The allegations about Dixon and Taylor have not been confirmed. But, speaking on his YouTube show on Monday, Wiley floated a hypothetical situation involving 'an employee'. His former Fox colleague Jason Whitlock claims Wiley is, in fact, talking about himself.
'Here's an example of how it can get uglier,' Wiley explained. 'What if there was an employee who lost their job - or their job was negatively influenced, intimidated, moved around, put in bad situations, off the network. 'And it was because their boss allegedly was sleeping with another employee and their co-host was sleeping with the same employee?' he said.
