Noushin Faraji: Controversial sports pundit Skip Bayless has been accused by hairstylist Noushin Faraji. She claims that Bayless offered her $1.5 million for sex. She has made these allegations through a blockbuster workplace misconduct lawsuit that took place while she was working at Fox Sports studios, Los Angeles.
What else is there in the lawsuit?
Noushin Faraji filed this lawsuit in California’s Superior Court, in which she also accused Charlie Dixon (Executive VP of Content, Fox Sports 1) of groping her at a party in West Hollywood in January 2017. In addition, Sports 1 host Joy Taylor is accused of creating a hostile work environment.
The lawsuit states:
“Ms. Faraji was forced to work at Fox Sports in a misogynistic, racist and ableist environment where she abused executives and talent workers without any consequences.”
A Fox Sports spokesperson says they are taking the allegations seriously but will not comment further due to the pending litigation.
What did Skip Bayless do?
Faraji claimed in the lawsuit that Bayless gave him “lingering hugs and cheek kisses.” He said Bayless was looking for excuses to touch him and said that if he slept with Bayless, his life could change.
In July 2021, when Faraji mentioned his cancer diagnosis to Bayless, Bayless offered him $1.5 million for sex and said he wanted to live with him. Faraji, out of fear, said there were cameras everywhere and that he also had a child. Bayless then grabbed his hand, kissed him and repeated his proposal.
Lawsuit Claims
Faraji says she faced significant mental and financial losses following the incident. The lawsuit states:
“Ms Faraji continues to suffer financial and emotional distress, shame, embarrassment, and fear.”
Faraji also claimed Fox Sports did not pay its employees the proper minimum wage and overtime.
What will happen next?
Faraji worked on Fox’s “Undisputed” show between 2016-2024, which was canceled in August 2024. She lost her job after that. Skip Bayless now hosts his show on YouTube, but has not yet answered any questions from the media.
This case has now become an example of how serious allegations of workplace misconduct should be raised and legally addressed. Fox Sports has said it will wait for further developments in the case and plan its steps after that.
