Controversial ex-NFL star Antonio Brown has weighed in on the lawsuit engulfing Fox Sports with a vile comment about Joy Taylor.
Taylor is one of several big names embroiled in the suit, alongside ex-NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho and former FS1 host Skip Bayless.
Taylor is accused of using sexual relationships with Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career, according to the suit – filed Friday in Los Angeles on behalf of hair stylist Noushin Faraji.
Specifically, the 37-year-old is alleged to have used ‘her sexuality to get on a show’ in 2020, when she sought a spot on Acho’s program ‘Speak’.
Taylor was back hosting the Fox Sports show on Monday – just 24 hours after being named in the lawsuit.
She failed to mention the allegations leveled against her but that didn’t stop Brown from taking a pop at the 37-year-old’s choice of outfit.

‘Joy Taylor had to put the girls away after them allegations,’ the former wide receiver wrote on X, alongside a picture of Taylor from the show.
Brown has a history of making controversial statements on social media and recently landed himself in hot water by using a racial slur to describe Notre Dame player Charles Du.
Taylor, meanwhile, has not directly addressed the allegations against her in the lawsuit.
She is, among other things, accused of scheming to protect her job at the network by fabricating a sexual misconduct allegation against Dixon, a Fox Sports executive vice president in charge of talent.
‘Once Mr. Dixon was no longer useful to [Taylor], she would follow through on her plan to tell the company that he forced himself on her,’ reads a portion of the lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior court.
Taylor did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com, and in her first appearance on TV since the allegations emerged, she stayed quiet on the subject.
Taylor, Dixon, former FS1 host Bayless and the Fox Corporation are all named in Faraji’s lawsuit.
Much of it focuses on allegations of sexual harassment, sexual battery, negligent supervision, retaliation and other hostile workplace issues between 2012 and August of 2024.
Bayless is accused of offering $1.5million to Faraji for sex, while Dixon is accused of groping the stylist’s buttocks.
Taylor is alleged to have dismissed Faraji’s complaints about sexual harassment against Bayless and Dixon, telling the hair stylist to ‘get over it.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Faraji, Acho, Bayless and Taylor for comment.
