Joy Taylor Takes Shot At Donald Trump Before Inauguration Day

01/17/2025 10:43 AM

Fox Sports personality Joy Taylor has been in the headlines the past few weeks due to a lawsuit filed by a former colleague. On Thursday night, however, she went viral for throwing shade at President-elect Donald Trump. 

During the latest episode of FS1's "Speak," Taylor and the rest of the crew talked about the Kansas City Chiefs and their pursuit of a third straight Super Bowl title. Before cutting to commercial break, Taylor decided to make a reference to Inauguration Day. Let's just say she's not thrilled about Trump's return to the White House.

"You can talk nonsense if you want to, it' a free country for a couple more days," Taylor said. 

It doesn't take a genius to read between the lines here. Taylor clearly believes the United States won't be a "free country" once Trump returns to office. 

As you'd expect, Taylor is getting crushed on social media for making this remark. Some people are suggesting she should leave the U.S. if she truly feels this way.

Taylor was recently accused of having inappropriate relationships with Charlie Dixon and Emmanuel Acho to further her career. These allegations popped up in a lawsuit filed by former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji. 

"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."

Taylor has not yet addressed these concerning allegations. Nonetheless, she continues to host "Speak" every Monday through Friday. 

Fox Sports also hasn't said anything yet about Taylor's status. For now, it appears she's safe. 

Taylor will be back on "Speak" this Friday to talk about all things NFL and apparently politics.
