FS1 host Emmanuel Acho has deleted a video featuring himself and Joy Taylor, who has recently been named as a defendant in a harassment and bullying lawsuit.

Observant fans noted that Acho removed a 2022 video from his social media accounts in which he praised Taylor, according to reports from Yahoo.

Neither Acho nor Taylor has publicly addressed the lawsuit on their social media platforms.

Meanwhile, the former NFL linebacker made his first public appearance on Fox Sports’ show ‘The Facility’ on Monday.

The former NFL linebacker is among several well-known Fox personalities, including Skip Bayless, facing allegations of misconduct in a significant lawsuit initiated by hairstylist Noushin Faraji.

The lawsuit claims that Taylor exploited sexual relationships with both Acho and network executive Charlie Dixon to advance her career.

It alleged that the 37-year-old co-host used “her sexuality to get on a show” in 2020, as she sought a position on Acho’s programme, Speak. The legal filing states that Taylor acknowledged her relationship with Acho while downplaying any potential conflicts related to Dixon.

Despite the mounting allegations surrounding him, Acho opened his show ‘The Facility’ without addressing the recent harassment lawsuit.

Instead, he shifted the focus to the NFL playoffs, maintaining a professional and upbeat tone. “What’s up family, it is a huge Monday show,” he announced. “The NFC and AFC playoff pictures are as clear as can be.”

Acho’s decision to remain silent about the lawsuit could indicate a legal strategy, raising questions about how Fox and its personalities intend to handle the escalating controversy.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of hairstylist Noushin Faraji, includes incidents dating from 2012 to August 2024 and accuses Taylor, Bayless, Dixon, and the Fox Corporation of creating a hostile work environment.

Allegations in the suit involve sexual battery, retaliation, and negligent supervision. Faraji claims that Bayless offered her $1.5 million in exchange for sex, while Dixon is accused of groping her. Taylor is alleged to have dismissed Faraji’s harassment complaints, advising her to “get over it,” and reportedly planned to accuse Dixon of misconduct when it would benefit her.
