Let’s talk about the latest tea on Joy Taylor! So, there have been some rumors swirling around that she’s quitting sports media after she got the boot from Fox Sports. Well, Joy finally broke her silence on the matter and set the record straight.
In a recent podcast, Joy Taylor cleared the air and according to her, she’s got a lot of announcements to make in the coming days.
In a snippet from an upcoming episode of the ‘Let Her Shoot’ podcast, Taylor said: ‘I’ll have a lot of announcements coming up.
‘You know, as far as everything that happened, that’s the business. Nothing is forever, as all these cliches, but that is what it is. You know, (I’m) grateful, I had nine years on a network and the next chapter will be equally as exciting.
‘I’m not limiting myself. I’ve worked with a bunch of different people over the years, people I never thought that I would end up partnering up with.
‘It might surprise people what the next move is… I’m not teasing anything, but we’ll have announcements very soon.’
Earlier this month, Fox Sports reportedly slashed its weekday lineup with a trio of shows axed, including ‘Speak’ which was hosted by Taylor.
The former sports host had worked on a number of different shows in her nine-year stint with Fox, yet the company has decided not to renew her expiring contract this summer – just months after she found herself embroiled in a bombshell sex lawsuit .
The network shortly announced a new deal with Barstool Sports and founder Dave Portnoy, while Kay Adams was rumored to be a leading contender to fill the void left at Fox.
The decision from Fox came in the wake of lawsuit brought by former FS1 hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who listed Taylor as a defendant as well as top programming executive Charlie Dixon and Skip Bayless.
Taylor was accused of using sexual relationships with colleagues, including Dixon and former co-host Emmanuel Acho, to further her career in the lawsuit filed by the ex-employee.
The 38-year-old was also alleged to have told Faraji to ‘get over it’ when she confided in her about claims she was sexually assaulted by Dixon.
It’s great to hear from Joy herself on this matter and we can’t wait to see where she lands next. Stay tuned for more updates on Joy Taylor and her next big moves in the sports media world!
