Noushin Faraji, a hairstylist at Fox Sports for over a decade, alleges that in 2021, Skip Bayless offered her $1.5 million to engage in sexual acts with him. She claims that his advances, beginning in 2017, included inappropriate comments, lingering hugs, and manipulative statements expressing that he could significantly change her life if she complied. Faraji's lawsuit highlights not just Bayless's actions but suggests a culture of impunity fostered by Fox executives that allowed such conduct to persist without consequence.
According to the lawsuit, the inappropriate behavior from Bayless did not occur in isolation, as Faraji claims Fox executives created a hostile work environment. She argues that sexual harassment and abusive conduct by powerful figures were overlooked, placing the onus on employees to tolerate such mistreatment in silence. The suit seeks unspecified damages from both Bayless and Fox Corporation, aiming to address not only her situation but the systemic issues within the workplace regarding harassment.
