Joy Taylor’s absence from FS1’s Speak reached a second week after Front Office Sports reported that FS1 “sidelined” Taylor from appearing on the ensemble talk show.

The network’s decision remains unclear, but it surely has to be related to the impending lawsuit against her and others.

Taylor will rejoin the FS1 show “Speak” on Monday, sources told The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.

The network or the ‘Speak’ panel never addressed her two-week absence, raising suspicion that it was not coincidental with Taylor’s being named in a lawsuit.

The lawsuit filed by Noushin Faraji, the former hairstylist for Bayless, accuses Taylor of being aware of sexual misconduct allegations against Skip Bayless and network executive Charlie Dixon.

  • TRENDING NEWS

The lawsuit names Bayless, Dixon, and Taylor, as well as the Fox Corporation, Fox Sports, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2, and Fox Sports Productions.

Midrange theories, Celtics slumps, and Jaylen’s value with Seth Partnow
When it comes to using analytics to get a fresh perspective on things, there are few in the game with a better angle on that than The Athletic’s Seth Partnow. Former Head of Basketball Research for the Milwaukee Bucks and recent author of the new book “The Midrange Theory: Basketball’s Evolution in the Age of Analytics” (pre-order it here!), Partnow joined your usual hosts Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn on the most recent edition of the CLNS Media podcast “Celtics Lab” to talk about his new book and all things analytics. Get ready to have some of your assumptions about this team, its coaching, and even some especially contentious recently rumored trade proposals challenged on one of our favorite pods in recent memory. If you are a regular listener to the Celtics Lab, it’s clear you love the team, basketball, and quite possibly both, and we have met very few people who enjoy talking hoops more than Partnow. Check out the clip embedded above to hear everything from what we expected out of Robert Williams III in the new Celtics offense to why some triple-doubles (we see you, Magic Johnson) are more meaningful than others.

What went wrong in Game 1 for Boston, and what we’ll see in Game 2 to fix it with Barry Ebua
The Boston Celtics dropped Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the Philadelphia 76ers 119-115 despite Sixers big man Joel Embiid missing the game due to a sprained knee. The win came from a career playoff-high outing from James Harden, who shined in Embiid’s absence with the Celtics struggling to adjust their defense to stop him. What went wrong for Boston? Who could have done a better job on the court or behind the clipboard? How worried should we be about Game 2? Will Embiid be able to play in it, or can we expect more small-ball Sixers wreaking havoc on the Celtics’ defense? To take stock of the loss and talk about what might be coming for Game 2, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast sat down with “Pro Fan Sports” podcast host Barry Ebua. After, we hear from Cameron Tabatabaie live from TD Garden to relay what head coach Joe Mazzulla and Boston’s players had to say in light of the loss. Learn more about your ad choices.

Talking about Boston’s contender status, KG’s jersey retirement and more with Jason Terry
As the Boston Celtics inch towards contender status with improved play on both ends of the court at the same time the Brooklyn Nets are trying to find enough health to compete for a title, the two teams could very well be on a postseason collision course. One that began almost a decade ago when a fateful trade sent Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry to Brooklyn, and, given that it is just weeks before Garnett will have his Celtics jersey raised up to the rafters, we couldn’t think of a better person to talk about it with on the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast than the JET himself. In this episode, Cameron Tabatabaie and Justin Quinn are joined by Terry to talk about his time in Boston in their last era of contention, what it was like playing with KG, how he thinks of the Celtics and Nets’ short and medium-term futures, what’s keeping him busy these days and plenty more. This was a very fun pod that even has a Big Ticket in a helicopter story, so be sure to check it out.

Joy Taylor Previously Responded To Lawsuit Against Her

Noushin Faraji, a former hairstylist for FS1, filed a lawsuit last month accusing former host Skip Bayless of sexual misconduct.

She additionally accused current FS1 host Joy Taylor of harassment on the basis of ethnicity. She also alleged that Taylor used sex to further her career.

Bayless and Taylor each responded to the lawsuit last month, denying the allegations against them and asking the court for relief.

A response filed by Bayless’ attorney said Faraji “consented, by words or conduct,” to the conduct Faraji alleged.

In Taylor’s response, her attorney says Faraji “was not a qualified person with a disability as defined by relevant law, nor regarded as a person with a disability.”

Faraji accused Taylor of mocking her English and complaining about Faraji’s humming.

A spokeswoman on behalf of Taylor told The Athletic that Faraji including Taylor in the complaint was an attempt to leverage media attention.

“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,” the spokeswoman said.
