In January, Taylor was named in a lawsuit filed by a former hairstylist who accused Skip Bayless and Taylor of creating a hostile work environment at Fox Sports.
Taylor was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by former FOX Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji.
According to Faraji, Taylor mocked her when she complained about Bayless’ unwanted advances.
