Jason Whitlock On Skip Bayless Lawsuit, Says Joy Taylor's "Big Cans"
The former Fox Sports host said that Taylor had nothing to offer but "big cans and that peanut butter skin."
Former Fox Sports host Jason Whitlock has offered his unhinged response to the lawsuit against Skip Bayless and Joy Taylor.
At around the 6:30 point of the latest episode of Fearless with Jason Whitlock, as seen above, the conservative sports columnist stressed that he knew Noushin Faraji personally and got along with her. But he added that he never "revealed himself personally" to her and other employees at Fox Sports.
"I was a fan of Noushin, thought she was a good person," he shared. "Did I think that Noushin and all the women in hair and makeup at Fox Sports needed to be handled carefully? Yes, yes I did. Anybody that knew me and knew my reputation at Fox Sports, it was like, 'Hey, I'm going to come into this makeup room, I'm going to say very little. Because I'm not going to give any of you leverage over me. I'm not going to make a mistake and allow some woman I know a little bit, but don't really know, to have leverage over me."
He then proceeded to tell a story about his father, who cautioned him to never get romantically involved with women he works with. He suggested that when men and women are put into the same work environment, there will undoubtedly be "sexual politics and sexual malfeasance" introduced. "Most people just don't handle it well," he said.
He remarked that initially, the response to the lawsuit focused on Skip Bayless and Fox Sports executive Charles Dixon, but as time has gone there's been more of a focus on the accusations against Joy Taylor. The lawsuit accused her of workplace bullying and sleeping with her bosses to advance her career, while Dixon and Bayless were accused of battery of sexual harassment.
"That's the real takeaway and that's the real story from this," he continued. "Joy Taylor is a symbol of this whole feminist movement, this whole Black queens movement, this whole DEI movement. This whole sharing everything with women, and, 'Hey there's gotta be a woman host on all of these shows.' Well, there's consequences to that, and this whole system has been set up to create the kind of chaos and division and inefficiency and corruption that we're seeing spelled out in this lawsuit, [and] all across American media."
In the lawsuit, Joy Taylor was accused of sleeping with Dixon, who gave her a role as moderator on Undisputed because of their sexual relationship. "She knows that she has very little to offer, so what does she end up offering up?" he said. "I don't say this to be hypercritical of Joy Taylor, I don't have harsh opinions of Joy Taylor... I basically, for the most part, just kept my distance from Joy Taylor. Not because I didn't like her, just because I knew myself. I know what I'm capable of. That big rack of hers that she showed off constantly. And that peanut butter skin with that big rack. Like, Jay, keep your distance, that's going to get you into trouble."
He suggested that Taylor was "not qualified" to be talking about sports at the level she was and that she didn't have anything to offer audiences but "sex appeal."
"Joy Taylor had done some radio work down in Miami, what does she have to offer?" he said. "How does she get that job? How does she even get that opportunity? She's got a big pair of cans, and she's, according to Noushin, willing to let people enjoy those big cans of hers. That's how we got here. And it's not Joy Taylor's fault... I'm trying not to disparage Joy Taylor, but the facts are the facts."
He said that during his time at Fox Sports, he did a test show with Joy Taylor but ultimately didn't think it went well. They wanted him to host a show with a woman, but he was against the idea unless it was an older woman. "I mean I got a lot of discipline, but a 25-year-old with them big cans and that peanut butter skin who has nothing to say, at some point I'm going to lose respect," he said. "I don't want to put myself in that position."
He wanted to do a show with Bonnie Bernstein instead, but Fox Sports expressed "no interest" in her because of her age. He went on to say that he likes Charles Dixon, but "everybody" knew about his affair with Taylor. Whitlock alleged that the claim that Taylor's threat to accuse Dixon of sexual assault was a "common" threat among colleagues at Fox Sports.
He concluded that he's never met a woman he wanted to work for. "They're too emotional and too thin-skinned for me," he said. "I say something they don't like, they can hold a grudge against me for the rest of my life. ... I say all this to say I've read the 42-page lawsuit." He said that there are certainly things in the lawsuit he believes, but there's some "lawyer spin" in it, too. He added that he thinks that Bayless took his debates with Shannon Sharpe too seriously, which has led him to believe he's "a little bit on the spectrum."
