Skip Bayless was hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit Friday after allegedly offering hairstylist Noushin Faraji $1.5 million for sex, among other repeated, unwanted advances.

Also named as co-defendants in the suit were his former employer Fox Sports, where Faraji was employed as a hairstylist for over a decade 2012–2024, and its parent company, Fox Corporation. FS1, FS2, Fox Sports EVP Charlie Dixon and FS1 host Joy Taylor are also named.

Faraji asked for undisclosed monetary compensation for herself and other non-exempt Fox employees in California.

According to court documents obtained and reviewed by TheWrap, Dixon is accused of approaching Faraji at a birthday party in 2017, putting his arm on her lower back and moving “his hand lower and … rubbing her body and grabbing her buttocks.
