Fox Sports Fires FS1 Exec Charlie Dixon

Dixon, who became head of the network in 2017, was named as a defendant in two separate lawsuits in January.

Charlie Dixon is out at FS1, three months after he was named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits, Front Office Sports has confirmed.

“Charlie Dixon is no longer with Fox Sports. There is no further comment at this time,” a spokesperson told FOS in a statement. The news was first reported by The Athletic.

Former FS1 hairstylist Noushin Faraji and former network host Julie Stewart-Binks both filed lawsuits earlier this year. 

Faraji accused Dixon of grabbing her buttocks at a birthday party. Stewart-Binks accused Dixon of forcibly kissing her at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. In a subsequent court filing, Dixon claimed that “no sexual or offensive contact or intentional contact with [Stewart-Binks]” at the meeting.

Dixon’s attorney sent the following statement to Front Office Sports:

“Charlie Dixon is deeply saddened by the decision of Fox Sports to terminate his employment. After nine years in positions of increasing responsibility at the network, Mr. Dixon was told that he was being let go for violating company policy.  According to the network, Mr. Dixon did not disclose to human resources or the legal department that a third-party production company had hired his wife as a temporary freelancer.  But the reality is that Mr. Dixon had asked his supervisor about the hire and was told that there were no objections.  It is noteworthy that a Fox spokesperson made no reference to the company investigation of sexual harassment claims in announcing Mr. Dixon’s departure.  Mr. Dixon has cooperated fully with the investigation and denies engaging in any inappropriate conduct.”

FOS previously reported that Fox has been in settlement talks via mediation for both lawsuits. Fox initially suspended Dixon in February.

Dixon joined FS1 in 2015 and became head of the network in 2017.
