    Fox and Skip Bayless Sued on 14 Counts Including Sexual Battery

    A former Fox Sports hairstylist alleges in a lawsuit that network EVP Charlie Dixon used “his position to sexually harass women,” as well as that Skip Bayless touched her inappropriately and propositioned her for sex.

    As the suit alleges: “Approximately one week later, Mr. Bayless made another advance at Ms. Faraji. Ms. Faraji responded: ‘Skip, stop, you have a wife.’ Mr. Bayless responded: ‘Aren’t you Muslim? Doesn’t your dad have three to four wives?’ Ms. Faraji responded that her father was dead, and when Mr. Bayless looked taken aback, she made an excuse to leave.”

    “Ms. Faraji brings forth this action because for over a decade at Fox, she was forced to endure a misogynistic, racist, and ableist workplace where executives and talent were allowed to physically and verbally abuse workers with impunity,” the suit alleges. “When Ms. Faraji and others came forward to report the wrongdoing, instead of addressing their concerns, Fox retaliated against them while the perpetrators and those who protected them were inexplicably promoted. This case thus represents yet another in a long line of cases chronicling the toxic culture at Fox, marked by bad faith promises and repeated failures to address a poisonous and entrenched patriarchy.”

    ^ Wondering if this post will get a lot of 'funny' ratings, like any mention of Trump's multiple sexual assault allegations, and guilty adjudication does.

    Will be fun to see.

    men who cheat on their wives do not deserve empathy or understanding- if you marriage is so bad that you think you have to cheat, then leave. If what is being said about Bayless is true, then he is a cad and a bounder

    yet you celebrate a man who routinely cheats on his wife so pervasively that he is sued over it

    I agree. And applaud the use of ‘cad’ and ‘bounder.’

    Of course, the Fox guy had to introduce bigotry and racism into his misogyny and philandering… they really are just like they appear on TV… who knew…

    I don’t like Bayless at all. Not even a little bit. I would like this to be true to get rid of him. Nonetheless, I will wait for the facts to come out.

    Trump has plenty of warts - I voted for him because he is a leader, he is America first and he will get things done

    As bad as Fox News is, it’s hardly the only network that has had that issue.!

    Reminded me of the John Mulaney bit about the NY Post where he talks about the terms they use. (Where the news comes from some chain smoker named Madge who tells of Pervs, Tots and Bozos in particular)

    Well there you go again; trying to bring logic into an irrational thread!
