A number of clips involving Emmanuel Acho and Joy Taylor have resurfaced on social media in the wake of stunning claims about the Fox Sports co-hosts.
According to a bombshell lawsuit involving some of the biggest names in sports media, FS1 host Taylor used sexual relationships with ex-NFL star Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career.
Taylor, 37, also allegedly plotted to protect her job by fabricating a sexual misconduct allegation against Dixon, a Fox Sports executive vice president in charge of talent.
Amid claims of a sexual relationship between Acho and his co-host on ‘Speak’, fans dug out videos of the retired NFL linebacker talking about Taylor, with one claiming it ‘all makes sense now’.
One clip shows Acho introducing Taylor on ‘Speak’ during Super Bowl week.
‘Truly, in the sports industry, I don’t know anyone that is more impressive – in every way, shape or form – than the one and only Joy Taylor,’ he said.

Another video – now reportedly deleted by Acho – shows him promoting his co-host before the show’s premiere.
‘I have to take a moment to shout out my co-host Joy Taylor. A woman. A black woman. Daily show. Sports. Do you all realize how hard it is to get into the position she’s in?’ he said.
‘So often there is misogyny and sexism running rampant in sports and we don’t even care what women have to say in sports. But Joy is not only in the position on television as a black woman. But as an opinion-ist.
‘So not just asking men what they think but providing her own unique and distinct insight. It’s hard to do and Joy you have done it so congratulations, looking forward to working with you.’
Controversial columnist Jason Whitlock reposted the video with the caption: ‘Kinda hits different now?’
‘Not a good look!’ another fan said, while a fourth added: ‘How obvious do you wanna make it?’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Acho and to Taylor’s management for comment.
