Joy Taylor has reportedly been taken off the air following a bombshell of a lawsuit exposing alleged relationships with coworkers at FOX Sports.
Taylor has been absent from FS1’s ‘Speak’ all week, and Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports reports that she has been “sidelined” from the show.
The exact reason for Joy’s absence was not disclosed, but FOS is reporting that it’s the result of an “infraction.”
“The apparent infraction that led Taylor to be off the program for at least three days was not immediately known,” Glasspiegel’s report notes.
This comes more than a month after the co-host was named in a wild lawsuit in which she was accused of mocking and insulting Noushin Faraji, a hairstylist who worked with the network.
Faraji also asserts that Taylor had sexual relations with executive Charlie Dixon and co-host Emmanuel Acho to land a gig on a top network show.

Dixon is also named in the lawsuit, as is Skip Bayless, with Faraji accusing both of them of sexual misconduct. Bayless, who is no longer with FOX, is said to have offered the hairstylist $1.5 million to sleep with him.
Dixon, meanwhile, was sent on leave after he was accused of sexual assault by former FOX Sports host Julie Stewart-Binks in another lawsuit.
Joy Taylor’s Absence Apparently Has Nothing To Do With The NFL Season Ending

Joy Taylor had remained on the air after the lawsuit naming her went public and played a significant role in FOX’s coverage of Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans earlier this month.
It was believed that her absence this week could be due to a post-Super Bowl break. But it appears there’s a lot more to it.
It is not clear whether FOX’s decision to remove her from the air has anything to do with Faraji’s lawsuit, but we expect more to surface over the coming days.

Fox Sports host Joy Taylor was named in a shocking lawsuit by a former coworker.
Last month, former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji filed suit against her old employer, alleging that she was “forced to endure a misogynistic, racist, and ableist workplace.”
She also accused former Fox Sports personality Skip Bayless of sexual misconduct, including offering $1.5 million for sex.
Taylor was accused of having “insult[ed] Ms. Faraji on a personal and professional level.”
She also alleged that she used sex with Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon to further her career.
Both Bayless and Taylor filed separate defenses.
Taylor “denies each and every allegation against her” and says that any emotional distress Faraji claims was the result of “outside factors.”
The defense also claims that any emotional distress alleged by Faraji was “not severe.”
