In a recent public appearance, Jason Whitlock who is a no stranger to controversy has reacted to the accusations made against Joy Taylor. The lawsuit accuses Taylor, a co-host of Speak on FS1, of pursuing relationships with coworkers in order to further her career.
Whitlock explained why he avoided her but declined to address her alleged behaviour openly.
“I know what I’m capable of,” Whitlock said. “And that big rack of hers that she showed off constantly, and that peanut butter skin, I said to myself, ‘Jay, stay away.’”
On social media, Whitlock’s comments have drawn a lot of criticism, with many people denouncing his objectification of Taylor.
His emphasis on her physical attributes, according to critics, takes attention away from the grave accusations at the centre of the case.

Whitlock, however, has not apologized or addressed the criticism; instead, he reiterated his remarks in a subsequent appearance, claiming that he was only being truthful about his personal boundaries.
Reactions of netizens
Social media was used by both fans and detractors to criticize Whitlock for remarks they deemed to be disrespectful and sexist.
“Jason Whitlock taking about him getting some play is the biggest lie of 2025,” one user said.
“The only thing Jason Whitlock is capable of is eating corn on the cob the long way! Fat fuck!!!,” another added.
Fox Sports lawsuit
Skip Bayless, a seasoned sports analyst, was the target of grave accusations. Bayless was accused of ongoing sexual harassment in a complaint brought by Noushin Faraji, a former hairstylist for Fox Sports, and of offering $1.5 million in exchange for sexual favours.
According to Front Office Sports, the 42-page lawsuit describes incidents in which Bayless allegedly gave her lengthy hugs, unwanted cheek kisses, and provocative remarks that implied he might “change her life” if she accepted his overtures. In addition to Bayless, other defendants named in the case are Fox, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, Fox Sports EVP Charlie Dixon, and FS1 broadcaster Joy Taylor.
