“VIDEO: Paul Pierce Reacts Perfectly to Joy Taylor’s Absence on FS1’s ‘Speak’ Following Suspension”
Joy Taylor has been noticeably absent from FS1’s Speak for four consecutive days, and the network has yet to explain.
FOX Sports reportedly sidelined Taylor, though the reason remains unclear. Her absence raised eyebrows after a lawsuit accused her of workplace harassment. Despite the lawsuit, Taylor continued appearing on air, even covering Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
Now, her co-hosts are subtly acknowledging the situation. Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson recently made cryptic remarks about the conditions on Speak, hinting at possible tensions behind the scenes. While not explicitly about Joy Taylor, their comments have fueled speculation that something deeper is unfolding at FS1.
Tension on Set? Paul Pierce Speaks Out

Pierce addressed the atmosphere on Speak in a social media post, saying, “Alright, let’s get it today. ‘Speak,’ got the crew up here.” Johnson then added, “Can’t keep doing this under these conditions.” Pierce followed up, “The conditions is harsh, though. Aye, man. Damn.”
The exchange was vague, but the timing suggests it may have been a subtle nod to Joy Taylor’s absence. Whether it was frustration over her situation or something unrelated remains unknown.

Former Fox hairstylist Noushin Faraji filed a lawsuit in January, accusing Taylor of workplace harassment based on ethnicity. The suit also alleged misconduct by former FS1 host Skip Bayless and FS1 executive Charlie Dixon. Officials have placed Dixon on leave, while Taylor has denied all claims against her.
Despite the lawsuit, Joy Taylor remained on-air in the weeks following its filing and even participated in FS1’s Speak coverage during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. However, this week’s abrupt absence has raised fresh questions.
FOX Sports has declined to comment, and Taylor has not directly addressed the situation. She has remained active on social media, recently sharing photos of a Times Square billboard promoting her new Passes subscription.
For now, speculation continues. Was her absence a routine break, or is there more to the story? With silence from both Joy Taylor and FS1, the sports media world is left waiting for answers.
