Joy went and cut a deal, huh?
I guess “Me Too” is dead, huh?

Questions are rising about Joy Taylor’s status at Fox Sports’ FS1 network after she missed three straight days of hosting Speak this week.
Taylor missed the shows because she was “sidelined” by the network, sources told Front Office Sports. The apparent infraction that led Taylor to be off the program for at least three days was not immediately known. A spokesperson for Fox Sports declined to comment and a spokesperson for Taylor did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Taylor, ex-FS1 personality Skip Bayless, and FS1 boss Charlie Dixon were among those named as defendants in a bombshell 42-page lawsuit by former Fox hairstylist Noushin Faraji in early January.
After being accused of sexual misconduct in two lawsuits, Dixon was placed on leave by Fox before its telecast of Super Bowl LIX, according to The Athletic. Taylor, however, returned to host her weekday studio show with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce. She even took Speak on the road to New Orleans during Super Bowl week. (Bayless split with FS1 last August after eight years.)
But Taylor missed this week’s shows on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with little explanation from her castmates other than Johnson informing viewers that she was out that day.
Taylor has been around Los Angeles, where Speak tapes, since returning from vacation. She posted a photo with former FS1 host Alex Curry at the Lakers-Mavericks game on Tuesday night.
Faraji accused Taylor of harassment on the basis of ethnicity. Both Taylor and Bayless strongly denied the allegations made against them in Faraji’s lawsuit. Fox attorneys have asked for the case to be dismissed in its entirety.
In her legal response, Taylor denied “each and every allegation against her.” A spokeswoman for Taylor told The Athletic that Faraji only added the host and podcaster to the lawsuit to leverage media attention.
“The claims set forth against Ms. Taylor are devoid of merit and appear to have been strategically framed to create unwarranted publicity rather than to seek legitimate redress,” the spokeswoman said.
Taylor has been at FS1 since 2016 and was previously the moderator for Undisputed and co-host of The Herd before joining Speak.

She just came back from vacation according to Marcellus Wiley, so she should be on air. He just put up a video today.
He’s also alluding to this brewing for a while and it’s why Shannon and Skip are no longer there.
Oh dear

sounds nasty rrrrawrCharlie has been on administrative leave for a minute which is basically saying he's going to be let go but they are just gathering enough facts to do so..Joy is in direct connection with him, he's probably giving additional details to what they already know and she will be let go..
Acho will be next in line as they gather info regarding Joy..
Lol at thinking because it wasn't instant it wasn't going to happen

Fox Sports is dotting their i's and crossing their t's before getting rid of everyone. Legal is doing their due diligence with how much they have to pay or crawl back from the parties before moving on for good. Can't keep having them on long term for public perception and good business.
