Have a look at the bio, age, height, brother and net worth of Joy Taylor
Fox Sports executive vice president Charlie Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless, and current FS1 host Joy Taylor are all mentioned in a workplace misconduct lawsuit by an ex-hairstylist.
Noushin Faraji, a hairstylist for Fox Sports, claims that there is a culture of misconduct at work, including sexually suggestive situations. Faraji describes how Bayless harassed her s*xually for years and once allegedly offered her $1.5 million in exchange for s*x.
She went on to say that Bayless would press his body against hers and press against her b*easts while giving “lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek.”
She claims that Joy Taylor instructed her to “get over it” after she told him about the incident.
Even though those accusations were startling, Joy Taylor was brought up frequently and she used to sleep with Joy Taylor in exchange for her promotion as per the ex-Fox Sports hairstylist.
Before landing her major role as the host and moderator of Undisputed, Faraji alleges that Joy Taylor engaged in a s*xual relationship with Charlie Dixon, the Fox executive responsible for content decisions and ultimately contributed to the breakdown of her marriage shortly after tying the knot. She has also claimed that FS1 host Joy slept with Emmanuel Acho in a bid to secure promotion at Fox Sports.

37-year-old Joy Taylor was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on 17 Jan, 1987. She is 5ft 2in tall. It’s no surprise that Taylor was destined for a profession in communication given that her parents fostered creativity and self-expression.
Taylor’s upbringing was surrounded by athletic energy due to her two brothers’ involvement in sports, which paved the way for her future in sports journalism. Her brothers are Jason and Noah.
Taylor’s brother is ex-NFL defensive end Jason Taylor, who played 15 seasons in the National Football League and was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017. Georgia Taylor and Anthony Taylor are her parents. Her brother Jason had sued her father Anthony in 2002 for lying about him and being violent.
Joy Taylor attended the Barry University in Miami from where she graduated with a Broadcast Communications degree in 2009, which is also the alma school of controversial political activist Laura Loomer. Even though they have pursued very different careers, this institution has been crucial in moulding two extraordinarily audacious and vocal individuals.
As of July 2024, Joy Taylor is divorced and no longer married. Richard Giannotti, a former baseball player, was Taylor’s previous spouse.
Notably, the now-ex-lovers began dating in 2014 after meeting at a conference for the first time. The wedding took place in a private ceremony at the Biltmore Luxury Hotel in Miami on February 13, 2016.
Their marriage ended in 2017 when they were divorced, despite the early euphoria surrounding their union. Beau, the son of Richard and his ex-wife Joy, was born in 2016. Joy had claimed that she was the victim of domestic violence back in 2017 on Undisputed.
Joy Taylor was then engaged to former NBA guard Earl Watson following the divorce from her first husband but her engagement was allegedly broken off after Watson learned of her infidelity and affair with EVP Charlie Dixon. Subsequently, Dixon allegedly paid for the couple’s wedding deposits in exchange for Watson’s silence. She is currently single and unmarried.
