Joy Taylor has been all over the sports news in the last 24 hours, and Jason Whitlock is offering some interesting insight on the matter from afar.
Whitlock hosted sports TV talk shows for FS1 from 2016-2020, which coincided with Taylor’s time with the network. Taylor, who is a TV host for FS1, has been accused in a lawsuit of having sexual relationships with a FOX Sports executive, as well as personality Emmauel Acho. The allegations were made in a lawsuit filed Friday by a hairstylist who says she was let go by FOX in August 2024. In that same lawsuit, the woman accuses Skip Bayless of offering her $1.5 million for sex.
Whitlock now hosts “Fearless with Jason Whitlock” for Blaze Media and has been dishing on the FOX Sports drama and lawsuit.
Whitlock said on his show Monday that Taylor was brought in to test to be a part of his talk show around 2015/2016. Whitlock says the test did not go well, so he did not want Taylor on his show. Whitlock was clear that he felt Taylor added very little beyond her looks.
Whitlock made clear that he wanted to avoid the temptation of getting seduced by someone attractive like Taylor.
“I know what I’m capable of. And that big rack of hers that she showed off constantly. And that peanut butter skin with that big rack. Like, ‘J, keep your distance,'” Whitlock said on his show.

Interestingly, Whitlock said he wanted Bonnie Bernstein to get the job. Eventually, Whitlock got paired with Colin Cowherd for the show, which he thought was a better fit for himself.
