FS1’s Emmanuel Acho was back on the job this Monday following some unflattering claims making the news over the weekend.
Acho, a former NFL linebacker, has been accused of being romantically involved with FOX coworker Joy Taylor, with a lawsuit making some curious allegations regarding the two of them.
While Acho isn’t accused of any wrongdoing, the suit alleges that he and Taylor carried on with a relationship while she was married, while FOX exec Charlie Dixon has also been accused of having an improper coupling with the female host.
The 34-year-old made his first appearance on TV since the lawsuit became public knowledge on Sunday. The clip below shows him listing the Wildcard Weekend opponents for the upcoming NFL playoffs following Sunday’s action.

He also suspiciously deleted a video from his X account in which he was shown praising Taylor back in 2022.
The lawsuit, filed by hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who worked at FOX from 2012 to 2024, has made claims of Taylor getting intimately involved with Acho and Dixon so she could get a show at the network.
She currently works as a co-host on ‘SPEAK,’ having previously held bit-part roles.
Faraji has also accused former ‘Undisputed’ host Skip Bayless of sexually harassing her and making her an offer of $1.5 million to sleep with him.
No one accused in the suit has responded to the allegations.
