Joy Taylor’s shocking views on romantic standards resurface amid sex claims in Fox Sports lawsuit
Joy Taylor’s views on romantic partners have gone viral in the wake of the bombshell lawsuit involving the Fox Sports host.
Taylor is one of several big names embroiled in the suit, alongside ex-NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho and former FS1 host Skip Bayless.
The 37-year-old is accused of using sexual relationships with Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career.
Taylor 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’.
That is according to the suit, which was filed in Los Angeles on behalf of hair stylist and former Fox employee Noushin Faraji.
Since the allegations emerged – they have not been proven – old footage of Taylor has resurfaced on social media.

Among them is a clip showing comments she made on the ‘Two Personal’ podcast last year. Taylor presents the show alongside Taylor Rooks and she discussed what she looks for in a man she would consider dating.
‘Can we just keep it a buck? If they’re fine enough, if they’re funny enough, or if their financial status is what you want— fine, funny, f*****g money,’ she said.
‘You’re throwing all boundaries, standards,’ she added, before feigning to scrunch up paper and throw it away.
‘All that s*** you talked on Instagram about how you would never. And this woman… cuz women this… and men this… it’s (she forms a cross sign with her fingers) . And you’re moving forward with this person.’
Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Bayless and the Fox Corporation are all named in Faraji’s lawsuit.
Much of it focuses on allegations of sexual harassment, 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 is alleged to have dismissed Faraji’s complaints about sexual harassment against Bayless and Dixon, telling the hair stylist to ‘get over it.’ DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Faraji, Acho, Bayless and Taylor for comment.

Taylor did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com and has not directly addressed the allegations against her.
In her first appearances on TV since the allegations emerged, she has stayed quiet on the subject.
Taylor is, among other things, accused of scheming 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 Superior court.
