Joy Taylor returned to the set of FS1’s sports show “Speak” following a 2-week suspension on Monday. Front Office Sports confirmed a report from The Athletic that Taylor had been allowed to return.
Earlier reports claimed Taylor was fired for posting a risqué photo that showed her biting a corn cob in a sexually suggestive manner.

Taylor, 38, wore a revealing pink top with a plunging neckline that exposed her cleavage. She matched the top with pink satin pants.
“It’s good to be here” she told television viewers. Then she asked her co-hosts — Keyshawn Johnson, Paul Pierce, and Michael Irvin how they were doing. “Better now,” Irvin answered, as everyone giggled.
Irvin, Pierce, and Johnson shared hosting duties in Taylor’s absence.
Married men on a manosphere board celebrated Taylor’s return to the show.
One fan wrote: “Ms peanut butter skin is back from her vacation.”
Another fan wrote: “My baby is back! Just stop fu#kin your co workers.”
A third person wrote simply, “My god.”
Front Office Sports previously reported that Taylor had been “sidelined” by the network. There was also a report that she was fired.
Taylor, Skip Bayless, and FS1 boss Charlie Dixon were named in a lawsuit by former FS1 hairstylist Noushin Faraji. Dixon was placed on leave from FS1 after he was named in a second lawsuit by former on-air personality Julie Stewart-Binks, according to The Athletic.
Noushin accused Bayless and Taylor of creating a toxic environment on the set. Both Bayless and Taylor denied the allegations.
A judge denied Fox News’ request to dismiss the case, suggesting that Noushin has enough evidence to win her lawsuit. Fox’s motion to move the case to a federal court also failed, meaning the Los Angeles Superior Court will continue to hold jurisdiction over the case.
