Fox Sports' Joy Taylor slept with ex-NFL star Emmanuel Acho and network exec to advance career, suit claims
Share:
FS1 host Joy Taylor used sexual relationships with ex-NFL star co-host Emmanuel Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career, according to the bombshell lawsuit facing a number of sports media's biggest names. What's more, the glamorous 37-year-old broadcaster allegedly schemed to protect her job at the network by fabricating a sexual misconduct allegation against Dixon, a Fox Sports Executive Vice President in charge of talent.

'… once Mr. Dixon was no longer useful to [Taylor], she would follow through on her plan to tell the company that he forced himself on her,' reads a portion of the lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles on behalf of hair stylist Noushin Faraji. Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless and the Fox Corporation are named on Faraji's lawsuit, much of which focuses on allegations of sexual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August of 2024. Bayless is accused of offering $1.5million to Faraji for sex, while Dixon is accused of groping the stylist's buttocks.

Taylor, herself, is accused of dismissing Faraji's complaints about sexual harassment against Bayless and Dixon, telling the hair stylist to 'get over it.'. But in addition to those allegations are Faraji's claims that Taylor admittedly used sex to advance her career – first with Dixon and then with Acho, the retired NFL linebacker and Taylor's co-host on FS1's 'Speak.'.
