Although Skip Bayless headlined in the lawsuit (offering $1.5 million to sleep with the plaintiff, hairdresser Noushin Faraji), in particular, Wiley addressed TV personality Joy Taylor allegedly sleeping her way to the top, as it has been revealed this is presumably why she was given prominent roles on the network.

Both co-host Emmanuel Acho and Fox Sports executive Charlie Dixon were named in the lawsuit, as it has been revealed they allegedly had sexual relations with Taylor.
Wiley co-hosted Speak For Yourself on FS1 from 2018-2022 with Jason Whitlock and Acho. And now he is airing out his side of the story, regarding his former counterparts.
For those who don't know, Acho replaced Whitlock on the show in 2021 and Taylor took over Wiley's job in 2022.

"I never heard that Charlie Dixon and Joy Taylor were sleeping together," Wiley said. "But, upon hearing that, I'm not gonna lie to y'all. It makes a lot of things make sense. It unlocks a lot for me. Sleeping with Emmanuel Acho? I've heard that before. Multiple times, as recent as a week or two ago."

"Part of the reason it was suggested that they do a show together is because of these allegations in the lawsuit that they were sleeping together, conspiring to get that to go. Conspiring with Charlie, conspiring with Emmanuel Acho, 'let's make this work.' What is crazier is, how they split apart... why did they go on different shows they say? Relationship went sour."

While appearing on Wednesday's episode of "Fearless," Wiley even went on to tell Whitlock, that legal action could be taken against the TV network.
