A bombshell lawsuit filed by former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji alleges sexual harassment by network executives, including Skip Bayless. The lawsuit alleges that Bayless offered Faraji $1.5 million in exchange for sexual favors. Among the widespread reactions to the allegations was ex-UFC middleweight contender Derek Brunson’s cutting five-word reaction on X.

Faraji’s lawsuit details years of alleged inappropriate behavior, including lingering touches and comments from Bayless. She claims his advances persisted despite her attempts to deter him, including disclosing a cancer diagnosis. Faraji also accuses Fox Sports executives, including Charlie Dixon, of harassment and the network of fostering a toxic workplace culture.

An X account highlighted the ongoing lawsuit and wrote:

"Skip offering 1.5 million for sum ass. Joy Taylor having sex with whole crew. Shannon Sharpe being Shannon Sharpe. Sports media in shambles... CTESPN is the most trusted source in all of sports."

Bayless, who left Fox Sports last August, has not commented on the allegations. The lawsuit involves other prominent figures, including FS1 host Joy Taylor, for allegedly dismissing Faraji’s complaints and mocking her cultural background. Stephen A. Smith, Bayless’ former colleague, expressed doubts about the allegations, claiming that he doesn't think the 73-year-old would be capable of that.


Ex-UFC star Derek Brunson reacts to ongoing feud between Shaquille OʻNeal and Dwight Howard

Derek Brunson recently weighed in on the ongoing feud between Shaquille O’Neal and Dwight Howard with a playful twist. O’Neal, who popularized the 'Superman' nickname during his career, took issue when Howard adopted it, leading to a series of public criticisms.

Over the years, O'Neal has repeatedly called out Howard, accusing him of lacking the same grit and authenticity that he brought to the game. O'Neal recently took to X to respond to Howard, mocking him for thinking that he cares about him. O'Neal stated he would never mention Howard's name again, calling him a "sensitive big man."

Brunson proposed settling the dispute in combat sports, asking fans whether they’d prefer to see it resolved in an MMA fight or a boxing match. He took to X and wrote:

"I can line this up. MMA or boxing? What do you guys prefer?"
