The lawsuit alleges Bayless, the former “Undisputed” host, made unwanted advances toward a Fox Sports hairstylist and offered her $1.5 million in exchange for sex.

A former hairstylist at the Fox Sports studios in Los Angeles filed a lawsuit Friday alleging she was offered money in exchange for sex by Skip Bayless, a former star on the network.

The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of California, by plaintiff Noushin Faraji includes counts of sexual battery and failure to prevent harassment. It accuses Charlie Dixon, executive vice president of content for Fox Sports 1, of groping Faraji at a party. It also accuses Fox Sports 1 host Joy Taylor of contributing to a hostile work environment.

“Ms. Faraji brings forth this action because for over a decade at Fox, she was forced to endure a misogynistic, racist, and ableist workplace where executives and talent were allowed to physically and verbally abuse workers with impunity,” the lawsuit stated.

“We take these allegations seriously and have no further comment at this time given this pending litigation,” a Fox Sports spokesman said in a statement.

Front Office Sports first reported the lawsuit. Bayless did not respond to a request for comment.

From 2016 to 2024, Faraji was a hairstylist on “Undisputed,” which starred Bayless, who over the past decades was among the biggest stars at Fox Sports and in sports TV. The show was canceled in August, after which Faraji’s employment at Fox was terminated. The suit states that during Faraji’s tenure, Bayless gave her “lingering hugs, kisses on the cheek” and said he could “change” her life if she had sex with him.

According to the lawsuit, after Faraji detailed health problems she was having to Bayless in 2021, Bayless offered her $1.5 million for sex, which she declined.

The suit includes a class-action provision, alleging Fox Sports has not paid all of its employees a minimum wage nor sufficient overtime wages.
