Joy Taylor may have returned to television, but the jokes about her continue.
Taylor is accused of using sexual relationships with Emmanuel Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to further her career, according to a lawsuit that was filed Friday in Los Angeles on behalf of hair stylist Noushin Faraji.
The 37-year-old Taylor is alleged to have used ‘her sexuality to get on a show’ in 2020 when she sought a spot on Acho’s program ‘Speak.’
Acho is now appearing on the Fox Sports show ‘The Facility’ while Taylor is the host of Speak.
Unfortunately for Taylor, the jokes about her had just begun, and they continued when a screenshot was shared from Instagram to X.
It showed New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson attempting to shoot his shot at Joy Taylor.
He wrote, “Can I be next?” to which Joy replied, “Eww, no… blocked.”

Joy Taylor Finally Posted Something To Social Media
During the final regular season week of the NFL year, Joy Taylor went dark on social media.
Once a lawsuit came out that named her, Skip, Bayless, and many others, she decided to keep quiet.
The following day, she would return to work and do her job as expected. However, she still stayed away from social media.
That would finally change on Instagram as she took to her story and posted some videos.
