The internet has revealed exactly what Joy Taylor did that led to FOX Sports suspending her.
The ‘Speak’ co-host has been off the air all week, leading viewers to believe she was taking a break due to the NFL season coming to an end.
However, Front Soffice Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel has revealed that Taylor has been “sidelined” following an infraction, although said infraction was not disclosed.
“The apparent infraction that led Taylor to be off the program for at least three days was not immediately known,” Glasspiegel reported.
FS1 has “sidelined” Joy Taylor, per @FOS
“Questions are rising about Joy Taylor’s status at Fox Sports’ FS1 network after she missed three straight days of hosting Speak this week. Taylor missed the shows because she was ‘sidelined’ by the network, sources told Front Office… pic.twitter.com/B8yPEegjFf

The decision follows a lawsuit filed over a month ago in which Taylor was named as a defendant. A hairstylist who worked at FOX for several years is suing several of the company’s employees, including Joy, whom he claims mocked her and made fun of her name.
The woman in question, Noushin Faraji, is of Middle Eastern descent. Her lawsuit also alleges that Taylor slept with both executive Charlie Dixon and co-host Emmanuel Acho to get ahead.
Is A Certain Photo At The Center Of Joy Taylor’s Suspension?
It’s unknown as to whether the network’s decision to take Taylor off TV has anything to do with the suit, but internet detectives claim the decision is the result of Taylor posting a photo showing her holding an ear of corn to her mouth in a provocative manner.
“FS1 suspended Joy Taylor from her show right after she posted this photo,” BricksCenter shared as the caption to the photo, which is shown below:

Taylor and Acho remained on the air after the lawsuit became public and carried on like they typically would. She was part of FOX’s extensive Super Bowl coverage in New Orleans earlier this month.
The reason for her suspension has not been confirmed, but it would be strange if FS1 really took Taylor off the air for such a photo, given the revealing wardrobe she usually goes with when she is on TV.
