Joy Taylor’s relationship with a former NFL star has come to light following a lawsuit in which she’s been accused of sleeping with folks at FOX to get ahead.
Taylor, former ‘Undisputed’ host Skip Bayless, and top-ranking company exec Charlie Dixon have been named in documents by Noushin Faraji, a former employee who worked as a hairstylist at the network.
Faraji has accused Bayless of harassment, adding he offered her $1.5 million to sleep with him. She also claims Dixon groped her at a party, and Taylor told her to “get over it” after she told her about the incident.
The complaint alleges that Taylor made constant insulting remarks and fun of her name after their relationship soured. It also notes that she had relationships with both Dixon and Emmanuel Acho and was planning to make accusations against Dixon once she had no more use for him.
Joy Taylor’s Brother Played In The NFL
Apart from her role as a host on ‘SPEAK,’ Taylor is also the younger sister of Pro Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor, who played in the NFL from 1997 to 2011.
Jason, who is 13 years older than his sister, spent most of his career with the Miami Dolphins, also suiting up for the Washington Redskins and New York Jets. The four-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler currently works as a defensive ends coach for the Dolphins.
“I’ve seen him go through every stage and then have a Hall of Fame career…just really know how much work goes into being that good at anything. It shaped a lot of how I do my job,” Taylor once said of her brother.
She has yet to respond to any of the allegations made in the suit.
REPORT: Surprise NFC Team Requests Permission From Dallas Cowboys To Interview HC Mike McCarthy

An interesting NFC team has requested permission from the Dallas Cowboys to speak with Mike McCarthy for their head coaching vacancy.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Todd Archer, the Chicago Bears asked the Cowboys for permission to interview Mike McCarthy. The 61-year-old has completed his five-year deal with Dallas, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has yet to make a decision on McCarthy’s future with the team.
The Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus after a 4-8 start and named Thomas Brown the interim HC. Chicago, however, failed to improve after the change and lost four of five games under Brown.
So the Bears’ brass is tasked with finding a new head coach to help promising young quarterback Caleb Williams, who turned in a tremendous rookie year despite being held back by inept coaching.
