‘Breakfast Ball’ and ‘The Facility’ are also on the chopping block, according to The Athletic, with Taylor’s dramatic few months at the network culminating in her exit.
The 38-year-old was named in one of two lawsuits against former Fox Sports programming executive Charlie Dixon, who was fired from the network in April. In the suit that named Taylor, Noushin Faraji, a make-up artist, accused Dixon of sexual battery and alleged that Taylor told Faraji “to get over it.”
Taylor denied the allegation but she did spend two weeks off the air in late February and early March. Her contract with FOX was set to expire sometime this summer, Front Office Sports reported in May. She co-hosted ‘Speak’ with Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson.
‘Breakfast Ball’ featured Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth and Danny Parkins, while ‘The Facility’ had four former NFL players – Emmanuel Acho, Chase Daniel, James Jones and LeSean McCoy – as part of the cast. All three shows were created under Dixon, and The Athletic reported low ratings as the reason for the cancellations.
