Explosive Allegations Against former Fox Sports Analyst Skip Bayless Emerge in Lawsuit

In a bombshell lawsuit filed against Fox Sports and several individuals, a former hairstylist has leveled serious accusations of sexual misconduct against renowned sports commentator Skip Bayless.

According to the 42-page lawsuit obtained by Front Office Sports, Noushin Faraji claims she worked as a hairstylist at Fox Sports from 2012 to 2024. During that time, she alleges that Bayless engaged in a pattern of inappropriate behavior, including "lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek while putting his body against hers and pressing against her breasts."


Faraji states that despite her efforts to discourage Bayless' advances, he became more persistent over the years, even going so far as to accuse her of sleeping with his former co-host Shannon Sharpe.


The lawsuit also makes allegations against other Fox Sports figures, including claims that the network's executive vice president, Charlie Dixon, inappropriately grabbed Faraji's buttocks at a party. When she reported the incident to FS1 host Joy Taylor, Faraji claims Taylor told her to "get over it."


In addition to seeking unspecified monetary damages and a jury trial, the lawsuit is seeking class-action status to represent other Fox employees in California who may have experienced similar misconduct over the past four years.


"Ms. Faraji brings forth this action because for over a decade at Fox, she was forced to endure a misogynistic, racist, and ableist workplace where executives and talent were allowed to physically and verbally abuse workers with impunity," the lawsuit states.


Neither Fox Sports nor the named defendants have publicly responded to the allegations as of the time of writing. The case is sure to continue making waves in the sports media landscape, and it remains to be seen how it will all unfold.
