- READ MORE: Joy Taylor reveals she needs to have sex ‘every day’
Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon has reportedly lost his job with the network after being accused of sexual battery in two separate lawsuits.
The allegations against Dixon first came in a lawsuit filed by former Fox Sports hair stylist Noushin Faraji, in which Skip Bayless and Joy Taylor were also named.
Bayless is specifically accused of offering $1.5million to Faraji for sex, while Dixon allegedly groped the stylist’s back side. Taylor is also accused of dismissing Faraji’s sexual harassment complaints against Bayless and Dixon, allegedly telling the hair stylist to ‘get over it.’
Dixon was accused in a subsequent lawsuit of pinning former Fox Sports host Julie Stewart-Binks against a wall and forcibly kissing her during a 2016 meeting in a hotel room, but he has denied that claim.
Now, according to The Athletic, Dixon is out at Fox Sports. DailyMail.com has reached out to Fox Sports.
‘Charlie Dixon is no longer with Fox Sports,’ a Fox Sports spokesperson told the outlet. ‘There is no further comment at this time.’
Charlie Dixon is no longer with Fox Sports after being twice accused of sexual battery
The allegations against Dixon first emerged in a lawsuit which also named Skip Bayless and Joy Taylor. Bayless has been accused of offering Faraji money for sex, while Taylor is accused of dismissing the hair stylist’s sexual harassment complaints.
A court filing obtained by DailyMail.com earlier this month showed that attorneys for both Faraji as well as the defendants have been engaged in settlement discussions. Front Office Sports was the first to report the settlement talks.
The lawsuit was filed after Bayless’ departure from Fox Sports’ cable network, FS1, last August, but Taylor continues to work at the network after returning from a mysterious two-week absence in March.
Both Taylor and Bayless have previously denied the allegations, while Fox spokespeople said they ‘take these allegations seriously’ but ‘have no further comment.’
DailyMail.com reached out to all attorneys in the case for comment on the settlement negotiations described in the last filing.
