Former Fox Sports analyst Joy Taylor has revealed whether she will continue working in sports media after being fired by the network.
The host’s nine-year stint at Fox came to an abrupt end after the network reportedly failed to renew her contract four months after she found herself embroiled in a bombshell sex lawsuit.
The 38-year-old broke her silence on the matter last week and has now hinted at what the future will hold for her as she embarks on the next chapter of her career.
In a snippet from an upcoming episode of the ‘Let Her Shoot’ podcast, Taylor said: ‘I’ll have a lot of announcements coming up.
‘You know, as far as everything that happened, that’s the business. Nothing is forever, as all these cliches, but that is what it is. You know, (I’m) grateful, I had nine years on a network and the next chapter will be equally as exciting.
‘I’m not limiting myself. I’ve worked with a bunch of different people over the years, people I never thought that I would end up partnering up with.
Fox Sports parted ways with host Joy Taylor as part of a brutal overhaul earlier this month
Taylor has since broken her silence on whether she will be quitting sports media
‘It might surprise people what the next move is… I’m not teasing anything, but we’ll have announcements very soon.’
Earlier this month, Fox Sports reportedly slashed its weekday lineup with a trio of shows axed, including ‘Speak’ which was hosted by Taylor.
The former sports host had worked on a number of different shows in her nine-year stint with Fox, yet the company has decided not to renew her expiring contract this summer – just months after she found herself embroiled in a bombshell sex lawsuit .
The network shortly announced a new deal with Barstool Sports and founder Dave Portnoy, while Kay Adams was rumored to be a leading contender to fill the void left at Fox.
The decision from Fox came in the wake of lawsuit brought by former FS1 hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who listed Taylor as a defendant as well as top programming executive Charlie Dixon and Skip Bayless.
Taylor was accused of using sexual relationships with colleagues, including Dixon and former co-host Emmanuel Acho, to further her career in the lawsuit filed by the ex-employee.
The 38-year-old was also alleged to have told Faraji to ‘get over it’ when she confided in her about claims she was sexually assaulted by Dixon.
Taylor’s contract has not been renewed by Fox, meaning she is leaving after almost a decade
Taylor has denied all allegations.
The 38-year-old initially broke her silence on the matter last week, as she expressed gratitude for the opportunities she’s had as a female panelist in sports media, but suggested that the events have left her feeling jaded towards the industry.
‘Overall, like the saying ‘it doesn’t feel like work when you’re doing something that you actually enjoy.’ I think what happened to me this year took that away from me,’ Taylor said on The Ringer’s Higher Learning.
‘I don’t know if I’ll get that back. I might — and maybe like when the callous forms over the wound and you get away from things you it doesn’t feel, like the tremors go away, so we’re not there yet — but right now, it doesn’t feel that way. It doesn’t feel exciting.
