Skip Bayless, a longtime sports commentator and the former co-host of Fox Sports 1’s “Undisputed,” was sued by a former hairstylist with the network and accused of offering her $1.5 million for sex and inappropriately touching her.
Noushin Faraji alleged that the 73-year-old Bayless, whose hair she cut after getting assigned to the “Undisputed” show, gave “lingering hugs after each haircut, putting his body against her own, pressing against her breasts,” according to the lawsuit.
“He then began to kiss her on her cheeks,” the lawsuit continued. “Ms. Faraji was uncomfortable by the physical contact and would make excuses to leave right after the haircuts.”
Faraji worked part-time for Fox Sports from 2012-16 and full-time from 2016-24, according to the lawsuit.
Bayless, the lawsuit alleged, also told Faraji that he’d “change” her life if she agreed to have sex.
She repeatedly denied his advances, according to the lawsuit, and told Bayless she “did not date at work.”
