Skip Bayless has spent the last decade-plus as one of the most recognizable faces on ESPN and Fox Sports, but now he recently started focusing on his own goals as he left FS1 back in August.
However, now is he dealing with some extremely serious accusations.
Breaking: Skip Bayless And FOX Facing 14 Counts Of Sexual Battery And Others (Report)
In a lawsuit, a Fox Sports hairstylist claimed that Skip Bayless touched her inappropriately and propositioned her for sex as well as used “his position to sexually harass women:”
Noushin Faraji, who says she worked at Fox Sports from 2012 through last August, made a series of troublesome allegations in the 42-page lawsuit obtained by Front Office Sports. Fox, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, FOX Sports EVP Charlie Dixon, Bayless and FS1 host Joy Taylor are listed as defendants in the lawsuit filed on Friday.
In the suit filed in Los Angeles, Faraji alleges that Dixon, the head of content for FS1, grabbed her buttocks at a birthday party in West Hollywood. When she relayed the encounter to Taylor, the Fox host allegedly told her to “get over it,” according to the suit.

The lawsuit seeks class-action status on behalf of Faraji and other nonexempt Fox employees working in California over the past four years. Faraji seeks unspecified monetary damages and a jury trial.
After starting work on the Undisputed morning show starring Bayless, the suit alleges that he began giving Faraji “lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek while putting his body against hers and pressing against her breasts.”
The single mother alleges she repeatedly told Bayless she was not interested in him and did not “date at work”. She also claims she told Bayless she was suffering from ovarian cancer, after developing issues with her left ovary, in an effort to halt his advances.
Instead, Bayless became more aggressive over the years, according to the suit. He allegedly offered Faraji $1.5 million to have sex with him–and claimed he could “change” her life. The suit also claims Bayless accused Faraji of sleeping with Shannon Sharpe, his co-star on Undisputed.
As the suit alleges: “Approximately one week later, Mr. Bayless made another advance at Ms. Faraji. Ms. Faraji responded: “Skip, stop, you have a wife.” Mr. Bayless responded: “Aren’t you Muslim? Doesn’t your dad have three to four wives?” Ms. Faraji responded that her father was dead, and when Mr. Bayless looked taken aback, she made an excuse to leave.”
The allegations in this report are extremely serious, to say the least. Bayless is going to have a lot more questions to answer in the coming months as more details come out about this case.
It is alleged that Faraji filed multiple complaints with Fox’s Human Resources and Employee Relations departments during her time at the company.
