Skip Bayless, the well-known sports media personality and host of Fox Sports’ Undisputed, faces serious allegations in a lawsuit filed by former co-worker Noushin Faraji. The suit accuses Bayless of offering $1.5 million for sex and engaging in inappropriate behavior while Faraji worked at the network. Faraji, a hairstylist who spent 13 years at Fox, also claims the company fostered a toxic work environment, allowing misconduct to persist unchecked.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, details a troubling pattern of behavior by Bayless. According to Faraji, Bayless began his advances after she joined the Undisputed morning show. He allegedly gave her lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek while pressing his body against hers. Despite Faraji’s repeated objections and her assertion that she did not “date at work,” Bayless reportedly continued his advances.

Faraji claims that the harassment escalated over time. She alleges that Bayless offered her $1.5 million to have sex with him, promising to “change” her life. When Faraji refused and reminded Bayless he was married, she says he responded with an inappropriate comment referencing her religion and family background. The lawsuit suggests that Faraji even disclosed her health struggles with ovarian cancer, hoping to deter Bayless, but his behavior only worsened.

Faraji’s lawsuit goes beyond Bayless, accusing Fox Sports of enabling a hostile workplace. She states that she filed multiple complaints with the network’s HR department but claims the company failed to address her concerns. Instead, Faraji alleges that executives retaliated against her while promoting the individuals responsible for the alleged misconduct.

The 42-page lawsuit describes Fox as a workplace rife with misogyny, racism, and ableism. Faraji argues that employees like her were subjected to systemic abuse while the network ignored their complaints. She also claims that Fox perpetuated this toxic culture by shielding high-profile personalities like Bayless from accountability.
