Joy Taylor’s absence from FS1’s Speak has reached a second week.
Last week, Front Office Sports reported that Taylor was “sidelined” by FS1 from appearing on the ensemble talk show. The reason why the network made this decision remains unclear, and a Fox Sports spokesperson declined to comment.
Taylor has now been out for six consecutive shows following a vacation from the program. Her social media accounts still indicate that she is a host for it, as does the TV guide on cable systems.
Taylor was named along with FS1 boss Charlie Dixon and former network host Skip Bayless in a lawsuit filed by former Fox hairstylist Noushin Faraji earlier this year. Bayless left the network last year, and The Athletic reported Dixon was placed on leave by the network after a second lawsuit was filed by former on-air personality Julie Stewart-Binks.
Attorneys for Taylor, Bayless, and Fox Sports have asked for the suit to be dismissed.
Monday’s edition of Speak was hosted by Keyshawn Johnson, Paul Pierce, Ric Bucher, and TJ Houshmandzadeh.
