A former Fox Sports hairstylist, Noushin Faraji, filed a lawsuit alleging repeated unwanted advances from former host Skip Bayless, including an offer of $1.5 million for sex. Faraji's lawsuit also claims that Fox executives fostered a hostile work environment that allowed for abuse without consequence.
FILE - A FOX Sports banner is viewed behind the end zone before an NFL football game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans, Dec. 1, 2024, in Jacksonville, Fla. LOS ANGELES — A woman who worked as a hairstylist for Fox Sports alleges in a lawsuit that former host Skip Bayless made repeated, unwanted advances toward her — including an offer of $1.5 million to have sex with him.
The Associated Press does not generally identify, in text or images, those who say they have been sexually assaulted or subjected to abuse unless they have publicly identified themselves as Faraji has in filing the lawsuit. In 2021, she claims in the suit, Bayless offered Faraji $1.5 million for sex and, after she refused, later threatened her job.
Faraji said she was fired in 2024 based on “fabricated” reasons. The lawsuit said she initially remained quiet about her treatment at Fox, believing she could be in danger if she went public.
