I posted this in the sports-zone section on the Discord, but I'll place it here as well. Noushin Faraji, a former hair stylist who worked on Fox Sports 1's Los Angeles-based studio shows, is suing Fox Sports (including Fox Corporation as a whole), Skip Bayless, FS1 head of content Charlie Dixon, and Joy Taylor over sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. The sexual harassment deals with Bayless and Dixon in separate incidents; reportedly Bayless offered Faraji $1.5 million to sleep with him, and like several times before, she turned down his advances including the cash offer. As it pertains to Dixon, Faraji accused him of grabbing her buttocks at a party back in 2017, and when she told Taylor of what happened, Taylor told Faraji to "get over it". Faraji mainly did hair work on the since-canceled Undisputed up until last year, before its cancellation and eventual firing of Bayless, and also on Colin Cowherd's show as well. Cowherd, as well as Shannon Sharpe and Emmanuel Acho, were also mention in the deposition, but are not defendants in the lawsuit. Where Taylor is involved is the hostile work environment part, and in the deposition, it's insinuated that Taylor slept around with certain men within the Fox Sports confines, including head of content Dixon, as well as Acho. Taylor and Faraji did have a good professional relationship before the incident with Dixon, but it wasn't 2021 that their relationship eventually deteriorated, and by summer 2023, Faraji was no longer styling Taylor's hair. Faraji accuses Taylor of making fun of her accent (Faraji is of Persian descent), and being hostile towards her.
