Fox Sports Host Out Over Alleged Affairs with Bosses
Fox Sports Host Out Over Alleged Affairs with Bosses
Joy Taylor is out at Fox Sports as part of a brutal move that will see the network bring three shows to an end, according to reports.
As well as FS1 show 'Speak', which Taylor co-hosts, Fox is also cancelling two of its morning programs, as per The Athletic.
All three shows are said to have struggled to find a huge audience, meaning they have now been brought to a close.
Taylor, who co-hosted sports talk show Speak with ex-NFL star Keyshawn Johnson and NBA icon Paul Pierce, leaves Fox just months after she was accused of using sexual relationships with colleagues to further her career in a bombshell lawsuit filed by an ex-employee.
The 38-year-old was also alleged to have told make-up artist Noushin Faraji to 'get over it' when she confided in her about claims she was sexually assaulted by top programming executive Charlie Dixon. Taylor denied the allegation.
After nearly a decade with Fox, Taylor's contract was up this year and the network has reportedly decided not to renew it.
FS1 is also said to be cancelling morning shows 'Breakfast Ball' and 'The Facility'.
Colin Cowherd's 'The Herd' and 'First Things First' with Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes will continue as usual, with FS1 likely to produce new shows to replace the three that have been cancelled.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Joy Taylor's attorneys for comment.
Two weeks ago Taylor finally spoke out about the lawsuit that embroiled several Fox Sports stars in scandal, claiming the allegations left her battling 'dark times', 'grief' and 'trauma'.
'I won’t say that there were not dark times, but I’m very blessed to have an amazing family and amazing friends and mentors and an amazing team,' she told 'The Breakfast Club'.
'People that know me and have known me for my whole life reminding me of who I am and what I deserve.'
Taylor continued: 'I have felt a lot of different emotions - I think it’s a grief process when anything like that happens,' she told The Breakfast Club.
'I’ll say, I’ve been through a lot of traumatic things in my life. A lot. And I think any time you go through a trauma or a grieving period of something, you can’t decide who you are when it’s happening.
'And that’s been the biggest thing for me. It’s this or that. I’m working on it, but it’s this or that. And I know years from now I’ll look back, and I will feel differently than how I feel right now.
'I’m trying to be patient with myself in that way, because it’s a lot to adjust to. It’s a new reality. And I’m trying to choose myself and be gentle with myself in that sense.'
Despite the furor, she continued to present 'Speak' and 'Two Personal', her podcast which includes graphic admissions about her sex life.
Taylor explained why decided not to hide from the scrutiny, telling The Breakfast Club: 'It was intentional to show up as I did'
She explained: 'When you know yourself, it’s easier to continue to show up as you are. And there’s always going to be things that happen in life, that happen in this business, that happen when you’re a front-facing person.
'And when you get into the business, that is the risk we take. Of putting ourselves in front of the camera, of putting yourself out there. That things, at some point, might not be the best for you. I mean, what’s meant for me is still coming.'
