A photo of Shannon Sharpe and Joy Taylor out at a game from several years ago has resurfaced online and is going viral on social media following the emergence of a damning FOX scandal.
A lawsuit filed by Noushin Faraji, a hairstylist who worked at the network for over a decade, had its lid blown off by Front Office Sports on Sunday. The suit accuses several FOX employees of sexual harassment and battery, with Skip Bayless, Charlie Dixon, and Joy Taylor the chief subjects.
Sharpe isn’t accused of any wrongdoing in the 42-page document and is only mentioned in an excerpt claiming Skip accused Noushin of sleeping with him while trying to proposition her for himself.
The ESPN star, who brought a lot of attention to his sex life after accidentally hopping on Instagram Live while engaged in intercourse, has a bit of a reputation. Plenty of folks are now speculating over a possible relationship with Taylor as the suit states she was romantically involved with Dixon, as well as Emmanuel Acho.
As such, the photo below has been doing the rounds.

Shannon Sharpe Breaks His Silence
The photo is from a playoff game between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers in L.A. back in 2016 and can be found on Getty Images.
Of course, it hardly suggests that there was anything going on between Sharpe and Taylor, but social media users are running with it on the back of the lawsuit.
Sharpe has since broken his silence on the claims, pointing out that they have nothing to do with him.
“That has nothing to do with me,” he said during ‘Nightcap’ on Sunday night. “There’s nothing to address. In those 42 pages, it doesn’t mention that Shannon Sharpe did anything. But you all want to get clicks, so you mention me.”
