The media landscape experienced another earthquake after a major lawsuit.
And the fallout spilled out in front of the audience.
Now a sex scandal at Fox went off the rails after this on-air comment.
Host named in sexual harassment suit calls Trump a dictator
Controversial Fox Sports host Joy Taylor proclaimed fascism was coming to America with Donald Trump’s inauguration.
“I mean, you can talk nonsense if you want to,” Taylor told co-host Keyshawn Johnson. “It’s a free country — for a couple more days.”
Taylor flew off the handle and allowed her Trump Derangement Syndrome to take over during a discussion comparing the current Kansas City Chiefs run of three Super Bowls in five years to Tom Brady winning six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots.
This was the first time many realized Fox Sports allowed Taylor on the air after she was a key player named in a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji alleging then Fox Sports host Skip Bayless offered her $1.5 million in exchange for sex.
In the lawsuit, Faraji alleged that Taylor got the job co-hosting Bayless’ show Undisputed because she was having sex with Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon.
“Mr. Bayless later disclosed to Ms. Faraji that he did not want Ms. Taylor on the show, but Mr. Dixon was adamant that Ms. Taylor should star. At first, Mr. Dixon arranged a dinner between Mr. Bayless and Ms. Taylor where she arrived in provocative clothing and acted in a provocative manner,” the lawsuit alleged.
“When that did not change Mr. Bayless’s opinion of Ms. Taylor, Mr. Dixon asked him to approve of her as a favor to him. Reluctantly, Mr. Bayless agreed to do so as a favor to his friend,” the lawsuit went on to say.
Faraji also claimed that Taylor then got her gig as a co-host of Speak for Yourself by having sex with co-host and former NFL player Emmanuel Acho.
“A few months after meeting Mr. Acho at the lunch, Ms. Faraji noticed him in the hallway while at work. Ms. Faraji later asked Ms. Taylor if Mr. Acho also worked at Fox. Ms. Taylor confirmed and explained that she wanted Mr. Acho to eventually recommend her on the show Speak for Yourself. Ms. Faraji became alarmed and warned Ms. Taylor that she should probably not sleep with Mr. Dixon and Mr. Acho at the same time, as Mr. Dixon is a very powerful man that may become very angry,” the lawsuit claimed.
Faraji then said she asked Taylor how she planned to get away with having an affair with both Dixon and Acho at the same time.
In the lawsuit, Faraji claimed Taylor told her that when the time came, she would just falsely accuse Dixon of raping her.
Fox Sports still has Taylor on the air despite these allegations.
Americans voted for Donald Trump on November 5 to rebuke this type of unhinged Trump hatred seeping into every aspect of American life.
