Former Fox Sports Host Skip Bayless Accused of Sexual Misconduct in Lawsuit by Ex-Hairstylist

LOS ANGELES — A woman who worked as a hairstylist for Fox Sports alleges in a lawsuit that former host Skip Bayless made repeated, unwanted advances toward her—including an offer of $1.5 million to have sex with him. Attorneys for Noushin Faraji, who was a hair stylist at Fox for more than a decade, are seeking unspecified damages from Bayless, Fox Sports and its parent company, Fox Corporation, according to a copy of the lawsuit filed Friday in California Superior Court in Los Angeles. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The complaint claims Fox executives fostered a hostile work environment that allowed senior managers and on-air personalities including Bayless to abuse workers without fear of punishment. The Associated Press does not generally identify, in text or images, those who say they have been sexually assaulted or subjected to abuse unless they have publicly identified themselves as Faraji has in filing the lawsuit. An attorney for Bayless, Jared Levine, did not immediately respond to AP’s telephone and text messages seeking comment.
