A former Fox Sports hairstylist alleges that Skip Bayless made unwanted sexual advances and threatened her job after she refused his offer of $1.5 million for sex.
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. Attorneys for Noushin Faraji, who was a hairstylist at Fox for more than a decade, are seeking unspecified damages from Bayless, Fox Sports and its parent company, Fox Corporation, according to a copy of the lawsuit filed Friday in California Superior Court in Los Angeles.

Fox Sports said in a statement that it takes the allegations seriously but had no further comment given the pending lawsuit.

In 2021, she claims in the suit, Bayless offered Faraji $1.5 million for sex and, after she refused, later threatened her job. “Ms. Faraji knew that he was trying to pressure her into having sex with him, but she kept repeating that she was a professional that had to be kind to all talent,” the lawsuit says. Faraji said she was fired in 2024 based on “fabricated' reason
