Former Cowboys All-Pro reacts as Skip Bayless gets embroiled in sexual assault controversy

Skip Bayless faced a bombshell accusation that he propositioned a former co-worker $1.5 million for sexual favors while working at FOX. The former Undisputed co-host, who has made a career of critiquing NFL players, has never been one to shy from strong opinions. Now, the shoe was on the other foot as a former footballer took the opportunity to weigh in on his latest problems.

On Sunday, Dez Bryant tagged Skip Bayless on X/Twitter and called the situation "crazy" with a laughing emoji. The former Cowboys All-Pro said,

"@RealSkipBayless tried to pay a girl 1.5 for the P!.. That’s crazy"

Lawsuit alleges a pattern of inappropriate behavior against Skip Bayless

Noushin Faraji, who worked as a hairstylist at FOX, brought the charges forward against Skip Bayless, as reported by Front Office Sports.

The suit alleges that the FOX host at the time began giving her:

“lingering hugs and kisses on the cheek while putting his body against hers and pressing against her breasts.”

The report further alleges she repeatedly turned down Bayless' advances, even going to the extent of saying that she does not date at work and that she was suffering from cancer in her left ovary.

However, it is claimed that instead of discouraging him, the analyst became more aggressive over the years. He reportedly offered her $1.5 million to have sex with him and allegedly said that he could change her life. The lawsuit also alleges that Bayless accused her of sleeping with then-Undisputed co-host Shannon Sharpe.

The suit further alleges,

“Approximately one week later, Mr. Bayless made another advance at Ms. Faraji. Ms. Faraji responded: ‘Skip, stop, you have a wife.’ Mr. Bayless responded: ‘Aren’t you Muslim? Doesn’t your dad have three to four wives?’ Ms. Faraji responded that her father was dead, and when Mr. Bayless looked taken aback, she made an excuse to leave.”

Dez Bryant's beef with Skip Bayless goes back to his time as a Cowboys player

Dez Bryant's beef with Skip Bayless began when the latter called on the Cowboys to move on from the wide receiver back in 2016. At that time, the commentator had said,

"I hope Dez Bryant is getting the message that the Cowboy world no longer revolves just around him. I'm hoping the Dez cloud is starting to lift off the Dallas Cowboys because these are the new Dallas Cowboys. I'm not saying that they're gonna be better off without Dez Bryant, I'm saying they'll be better off without the old Dez Bryant."

It led to a back-and-forth between the two with the player accusing Bayless of being a bandwagon fan.
