Faraji alleges retaliation for reporting misconduct, stating that perpetrators were promoted while she faced consequences.

In addition to sexual harassment, Faraji claims she experienced racial and ethnic discrimination during her employment at Fox.

The lawsuit includes allegations that the Fox human resources department protected abusers, including executive VP Charlie Dixon and moderator Joy Taylor.

Faraji asserts she was wrongfully terminated in 2024 under fabricated reasons after initially remaining silent about her treatment due to safety concerns.

Fox Sports acknowledged the allegations but refrained from further comments due to the ongoing lawsuit.

On January 5, 2025, Noushin Faraji filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court against Skip Bayless, Fox Sports, and Fox Corporation, seeking unspecified damages.

The lawsuit alleges that Bayless offered Faraji $1.5 million for sex in 2021, and after she refused, he threatened her job and accused her of having an affair with his co-host, Shannon Sharpe.

Faraji's lawsuit also seeks class-action status for other Fox employees who claim they were not paid their full wages or overtime.

The suit describes a hostile work environment at Fox, facilitated by executives that allowed senior staff, including Bayless, to mistreat employees without repercussions.

Bayless worked for Fox Sports until 2024, when his show was canceled due to declining ratings after Shannon Sharpe's departure.

Following the cancellation of 'Undisputed', Faraji's work hours were reduced, leading to her eventual termination.

The complaint details a pattern of harassment from Bayless starting in 2017, including unwanted physical contact and comments suggesting he could improve her life in exchange for sexual favors.
