Lots of people were looking forward to what Jason Whitlock had to say on Monday following the news of a bombshell lawsuit naming Skip Bayless as a defendant.
Skip is being sued by Noushin Faraji, a woman who was previously employed as a hairstylist at FOX Sports. Joy Taylor and executive Charlie Dixon are also among those named.
Faraji has accused Bayless of giving her unwelcome kisses on the cheek and Grabbing her body onto his after she started working with him and Shannon Sharpe on ‘Undisputed.’ The veteran journalist has also been accused of making a $1.5 million inappropriate proposal.

Her lawsuit notes that Bayless accused her of sleeping with Shannon Sharpe, which is the only mention of Sharpe in the 42-page document. But Whitlock has added to that, revealing on his show, ‘Fearless,’ that Skip also accused former ‘Undisputed’ moderator Jenny Taft of having an inappropriate relationship with the former NFL tight end.
Jason Whitlock Says Jenny Taft Was “Irate” After Skip Bayless’ On-Air Accusations
According to Whitlock, Bayless claimed to have seen Jenny coming out of Shannon’s dressing room, and she did not appreciate his assertions.
“But off-air, she ran upstairs as soon as that show was over and lit into the executives,” Whitlock claimed.
“Jenny Taft is married,” he added. “So she was irate, and this happened on-air.”
Whitlock claimed that the incident was his first clue that Skip was jealous of Shannon and was “seeing ghosts everywhere.”
Of course, the two co-hosts had an ugly split, which ultimately resulted in the show’s cancellation. Shannon remains distant from the situation, but Jason swears he’s somehow Grabbing the strings behind the lawsuit.
