Joy Taylor broke her social media silence over the weekend, days after bombshell reports claimed the host had been sidelined from Fox Sports.
Taylor, who typically fronts the network’s show ‘Speak,’ was mysteriously absent from the air this week prompting questions over her status.
Neither Taylor nor Fox Sports has made any public comments on the issue but, according to Front Office Sports, the network has ‘sidelined’ the host.
However, the 38-year-old resurfaced Saturday, sharing a sultry photo to her Instagram.
Taylor posted multiple photos of herself striking a pose outside of Catch, a restaurant hotspot in Miami Beach, in a slinky, teal jumpsuit.
‘South of 5th,’ the presenter simply captioned the photo.

Taylor returned to the social media platform Sunday when she appeared to shed some light on her trip to South Florida.
She shared a series of snaps from a friend’s wedding, including one of herself in an off-the-shoulder, form-fitting black gown with the beaming bride.
‘So much fun celebrating Patricia and Andrew,’ she wrote alongside the post, which was tagged at The LOFT on Bayshore, a wedding venue on the outskirts of Miami.
Her flurry of social media action comes just days after Front Office Sports’ report that ‘questions are rising about Joy Taylor’s status at Fox Sports’ FS1 network.’
‘The apparent infraction that led Taylor to be off the program for at least three days was not immediately known,’ the report stated.
It comes just weeks after she was accused of using sexual relationships with ex-NFL star co-host Emmanuel Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career, according to a bombshell lawsuit.
Taylor was also alleged to have used ‘her sexuality to get on a show’ in 2020, when she sought a spot on Acho’s program ‘Speak’. She denied ‘each and every allegation against her’.

According to social media, the ‘Speak’ host has recently been on vacation in the Cayman Islands.
But she now appears to be back in the United States and, according to FOS, Taylor was in Los Angeles – where ‘Speak’ is filmed – to watch the Lakers-Mavericks game on Tuesday night.
The only reported mention of her absence during this week’s shows came via Johnson, who told viewers that Taylor was elsewhere.
Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Skip Bayless and the Fox Corporation were all named in the suit, which was filed on behalf of hair stylist and former Fox employee Noushin Faraji.
Much of it focuses on allegations of sexual harassment, sexual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August of 2024.
Bayless is accused of offering $1.5million to Faraji for sex, while Dixon is accused of groping the stylist’s buttocks.
Taylor is alleged to have dismissed Faraji’s complaints about sexual harassment against Bayless and Dixon, telling the hair stylist to ‘get over it.’

Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Taylor told The Athletic : ‘The claims set forth against Ms. Taylor are devoid of merit and appear to have been strategically framed to create unwarranted publicity rather than to seek legitimate redress’.
‘Ms. Taylor denies each and every allegation against her as set forth in Plaintiff’s Complaint to the extent they allege any wrongdoing, liability, or entitlement to relief.’
Bayless’ attorney has claimed Faraji ‘consented, by words or conduct’ to the actions she alleged.
Dixon was reportedly placed on leave by Fox before Super Bowl LIX but Taylor remained on air in the immediate aftermath of the allegations.
