Reports claim Joy Taylor has been ‘sidelined’ by Fox Sports after the FS1 host missed three straight episodes of ‘Speak’ this week.
Taylor, who typically fronts the FS1 talk show, was not on air for any of Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday’s episodes, prompting questions about her absence.
Neither Taylor nor Fox Sports has made any public comments on the issue but, according to Front Office Sports, the network has ‘sidelined’ the host.
It comes just weeks after she was accused of using s3xual relationships with ex-NFL star co-host Emmanuel Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career, according to a bombshell lawsuit.
Taylor was also alleged to have used ‘her s3xuality to get on a show’ in 2020, when she sought a spot on Acho’s program ‘Speak’. She denied ‘each and every allegation against her’.
The 38-year-old typically presents the show alongside former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson ex-NBA player Paul Pierce.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Fox Sports and Taylor’s attorneys for comment.
According to social media, the ‘Speak’ host has recently been on vacation in the Cayman Islands.
But she now appears to be back in the United States and, according to FOS, Taylor was in Los Angeles – where ‘Speak’ is filmed – to watch the Lakers-Mavericks game on Tuesday night.
The only reported mention of her absence during this week’s shows came via Johnson, who told viewers that Taylor was elsewhere.
Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless and the Fox Corporation were all named in the suit, which was filed on behalf of hair stylist and former Fox employee Noushin Faraji.
Much of it focuses on allegations of s3xual harassment, s3xual 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 s3x, while Dixon is accused of groping the stylist’s buttocks.
Taylor is alleged to have dismissed Faraji’s complaints about s3xual harassment against Bayless and Dixon, telling the hair stylist to ‘get over it.’

Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Taylor told The Athletic: ‘The claims set forth against Ms. Taylor are devoid of merit and appear to have been strategically framed to create unwarranted publicity rather than to seek legitimate redress’.
‘Ms. Taylor denies each and every allegation against her as set forth in Plaintiff’s Complaint to the extent they allege any wrongdoing, liability, or entitlement to relief.’
Bayless’ attorney has claimed Faraji ‘consented, by words or conduct’ to the actions she alleged.
Dixon was reportedly placed on leave by Fox before Super Bowl LIX but Taylor remained on air in the immediate aftermath of the allegations.
