Skip Bayless has been named in a lawsuit claiming he touched a former FOX employee inappropriately and offered her money to sleep with him.
According to documents obtained by Front Office Sports, Noushin Faraji is suing Bayless, Fox, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, FOX Sports EVP Charlie Dixon, and Joy Taylor, among others.
Faraji, who worked at the network as a hairstylist from 2012 to August 2024, is claiming Dixon grabbed her buttocks at a birthday party in West Hollywood and that she was told to “get over it” by Taylor after she told her what happened.
She is seeking unspecified monetary damages and a jury trial.
Faraji claims Bayless began giving her “lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek while putting his body against hers and pressing against her breasts” after she started working on ‘Undisputed.’
She says she told him she was not interested in him and didn’t date at work, even going as far as telling him she had ovarian cancer in a bid to get him to back off.

FOX & Skip Bayless Accused Of Fostering “Toxic Culture”
Faraji, who has Persian roots, also accuses Taylor of constantly insulting her “on a personal and professional level” after their friendship ended. Taylor is also said to have mocked the pronunciation of her name.
Neither Faraji’s attorneys nor FOX Sports responded immediately after they were contacted for comment by FOS.
