Joy Taylor finally breaks her silence on bombshell Fox Sports sex lawsuit
Joy Taylor has spoken out on the lawsuit that embroiled several Fox Sports stars in scandal, claiming the allegations left her battling 'dark times', 'grief' and 'trauma'. Taylor, executive Charlie Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless and the Fox Corporation were all named in the bombshell suit, which was filed on behalf of hair stylist and former Fox employee Noushin Faraji. She was accused of using sexual relationships with ex-NFL star co-host Emmanuel Acho and Dixon to further her career. Back in January, Taylor was also alleged to have used 'her sexuality to get on a show' when she sought a spot on Acho's program 'Speak'. She denied 'each and every allegation against her', with lawyers branding the lawsuit 'a transparent attempt to improperly leverage media attention and public perception to extract financial gain.' Now she has opened up on the impact that the scandal had on her. 'I won't say that there were not dark times, but I'm very blessed to have an amazing family and amazing friends and mentors and an amazing team,' she told ' The Breakfast Club '. 'People that know me and have known me for my whole life reminding me of who I am and what I deserve.' Taylor continued: 'I have felt a lot of different emotions - I think it's a grief process when anything like that happens,' she told The Breakfast Club. 'I'll say, I've been through a lot of traumatic things in my life. A lot. And I think any time you go through a trauma or a grieving period of something, you can't decide who you are when it's happening. 'And that's been the biggest thing for me. It's this or that. I'm working on it, but it's this or that. And I know years from now I'll look back, and I will feel differently than how I feel right now. 'I'm trying to be patient with myself in that way, because it's a lot to adjust to. It's a new reality. And I'm trying to choose myself and be gentle with myself in that sense.' Much of the lawsuit focused on allegations of sexual harassment, sexual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August of 2024. Bayless was accused of offering $1.5million to Faraji for sex, while Dixon was accused of groping the stylist's buttocks. Taylor was alleged to have dismissed Faraji's complaints about sexual harassment against Bayless and Dixon, telling the hair stylist to 'get over it.' Despite the furor, she continued to present 'Speak' and 'Two Personal', her podcast which includes graphic admissions about her sex life. Taylor explained why decided not to hide from the scrutiny, telling The Breakfast Club: 'It was intentional to show up as I did' She explained: 'When you know yourself, it's easier to continue to show up as you are. And there's always going to be things that happen in life, that happen in this business, that happen when you're a front-facing person. 'And when you get into the business, that is the risk we take. Of putting ourselves in front of the camera, of putting yourself out there. That things, at some point, might not be the best for you. I mean, what's meant for me is still coming.' Back in April, reports claimed Fox Sports executive Dixon had lost his job after being accused of sexual battery in two separate lawsuits. He was also accused in another case of pinning former Fox Sports host Julie Stewart-Binks against a wall and forcibly kissing her during a 2016 meeting in a hotel room. Dixon denied that claim.

FOX Sports Analyst Sends Four-Word Message to Deion Sanders Amid Health Issues
FOX Sports Analyst Sends Four-Word Message to Deion Sanders Amid Health Issues originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Deion Sanders has also been a source of motivation to many. It's one of the reasons why he co-authored his most recent book 'Elevate and Dominate: 21 Ways to Win On and Off The Field'. However, recently the Colorado Buffaloes coach has needed some uplifting of his own. Advertisement After announcing he was dealing with another round of health setbacks, the 57-year old said he was 'doing good,' but is taking time to get back to full strength after "losing 14 pounds." There's no set time for Sanders to be back in Boulder, leaving fans to speculate what's going on? With Sunday being Father's Day, Coach Prime posted new photos with his daughters, Deiondra and Shelomi, along with Deion Jr. at his estate in Texas. The moment caught the attention of FOX Sports' Emmanuel Acho, who dropped a comment for Sanders. "Happy Father's Day King!," Acho replied. For Sanders, it's rare to have both his daughters around at the same time and a moment he'll cherish with this being his first Father's Day as a grandfather to Snow. Sanders is soaking up his time as Papa Prime. Earlier this weekend, he posted a picture of him and Deiondra giving his grandson a sink bath.

This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 16, 2025, where it first appeared.

Travis Kelce 'has lost a step' claims ex-Philadelphia Eagles man... but says the NFL should still fear him
Travis Kelce has 'lost a step' according to a former Eagles linebacker - who still believes the NFL should fear him in his 13th season. Last year, the 35-year-old had the worst statistical season since his rookie year (in which he played one game), and he was anonymous in the Chiefs' Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. Nonetheless, former Eagles player and Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho believes it's too soon to write off the Future Hall of Famer. 'I fear him for one more year,' Acho said on The Facility. 'If I'm an opponent of the Chiefs, I need to confirm that Travis Kelce has lost a step... I saw it on tape last year - Travis Kelce struggled more than ever beating man coverage. 'So, I think he's lost a step. But give me one more year to truly confirm Travis Kelce is no longer still the great Travis Kelce.' Kelce, by all accounts, certainly seems determined to return with a vengeance after Kansas City's 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler previously reported that the tight end had lost a whopping 25 pounds this offseason, while his quarterback and good friend Patrick Mahomes gushed about his approach during OTAs. 'If it's the last ride, you would never know,' Mahomes said. 'I mean, the way he's talking about football, the way he's talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year. 'He doesn't seem like a guy that, it's his last ride, like he's tired of the job. He's in here, he's working and I know his body feels good, I think it feels better than even last year before going into last season.' Following the loss to Philly, Kelce took his time to decide whether or not to return for another NFL season. He ultimately decided against retiring as he spoke of his desire to perform better throughout the season. 'I don't think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past,' he said on his New Heights podcast. 'I want to give it a good run. I've got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me. I love so many people in Kansas City, both in that facility and the community and it's home for me now. 'I don't want to leave that life yet. I put in a lot of hard work and focus into being the best I can be for Kansas City and last year it didn't end well for us. I feel there's a responsibility in me to play out the contract I initially signed to give the organization everything that I've got and that's what I'm going to do man.' Kelce signed a two-year, $34.25million contract - with $17m guaranteed - back in April 2024. After reporting to OTAs last month, he skipped voluntary team workouts as he was seen spending some time in Florida.
