Jason Whitlock Responds To Fox Sports Sexual Harassment Lawsuit With Cringey Comments About Joy Taylor
On Sunday, former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji filed a lawsuit against the network alleging that she was subjected to a toxic work environment and routine sexual harassment. The suit names prominent sports analysts as defendants, including Skip Bayless and Charlie Dixon. The filing also names Joy Taylor, who Faraji alleged made racially insensitive comments towards her and told her to “get over it” when she reported the harassment to her. The suit also claims Taylor advanced her own career by engaging in relationships with a Fox Sports executive and an on-air talent.
For some weird reason, ex-Fox Sports analyst and dedicated Uncle Ruckus acolyte Jason Whitlock decided to weigh in, and he did so by offering up the information that when he was at the network, he stayed away from Taylor because he knew he would have sexually harassed her so hard. So, instead, Whitlock decided to make his cringey sexual comments about Taylor on his podcast.
“I know what I’m capable of,” Whitlock said. “And that big rack of hers that she showed off constantly and that peanut butter skin—I said to myself, ‘Jay, stay away.’”
Now, Whitlock, who made multiple remarks about Taylor’s breasts during the segment, probably expected that his comments would be taken to mean he’s just a big flirt and ladies’ man that he needed to stay away from his attractive female co-worker because otherwise, he couldn’t help but turn on the charm and woo Taylor into his irresistible clutches. Well, that’s not how most people on social media took it. Instead, folks on X have either been blasting him for making sexually inappropriate comments about a woman who is literally named in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by another woman, or they were pointing out how delusional Whitlock is to even think his Mr.-Potato-Head-sitting-on-Shrek’s-body-looking-ass stood a chance with Taylor. Whitlock doesn’t seem to be self-aware enough to realize he has all the charisma of Donald Trump’s two-step, and that he came off like a sexually-frustrated incel who’s salty because he’s just realizing other men (allegedly) got to sleep with Taylor, but not him.
For the record, Whitlock’s remarks about Taylor were just the tip of the creepy-old-guy-with-horny-motorboating-fantasies iceberg. He was disgusting throughout the episode, during which he mentioned that he never “revealed himself personally” to Faraji and other employees. (That’s a weird way to phrase that considering the subject matter, but OK.)
“I was a fan of Noushin, thought she was a good person,” he shared. “Did I think that Noushin and all the women in hair and makeup at Fox Sports needed to be handled carefully? Yes, yes I did. Anybody that knew me and knew my reputation at Fox Sports, it was like, ‘Hey, I’m going to come into this makeup room, I’m going to say very little. Because I’m not going to give any of you leverage over me. I’m not going to make a mistake and allow some woman I know a little bit, but don’t really know, to have leverage over me.”
It’s insane how Whitlock fails to realize how much he sounds like a sex offender long overdue for his registry — and he didn’t stop there. Whitlock also claimed that what’s at the bottom of Faraji’s sexual harassment lawsuit is feminism, not sexual harassment. And because he wouldn’t be Jason Whitlock without reminding us how much he wishes he was a white man, he also denigrated “Black queens” and implied the plaintiff was a DEI hire.
“That’s the real takeaway and that’s the real story from this,” he said. “Joy Taylor is a symbol of this whole feminist movement, this whole Black queens movement, this whole DEI movement. This whole sharing everything with women, and, ‘Hey there’s gotta be a woman host on all of these shows.’ Well, there’s consequences to that, and this whole system has been set up to create the kind of chaos and division and inefficiency and corruption that we’re seeing spelled out in this lawsuit, [and] all across American media.”
My God, bro — just admit you’re upset you can’t force unwanted advances on women in the workplace with impunity anymore. Whitlock should be embarrassed by all of his cringey projection, but that would require him to have shame. (Seriously, you couldn’t put a gun to my head and make me say things like this publicly. Whitlock sounds like a disgruntled teen who grew up lashing out at women because girls in high school didn’t like him.)
He is just a sad, nasty man. What a horrible way to make a living.
