Ex-NFL star Marcellus Wiley suggests Fox Sports sex scandal involving Joy Taylor cost him his job

Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley has hinted that the so-called “love triangle” between Joy Taylor, Emmanuel Acho and Fox Sports’ Charlie Dixon cost him his job at the network.

Taylor, Acho and Dixon were all named in a bombshell lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles on behalf of former Fox employee and hairstylist Noushin Faraji.

Taylor is accused of using sexual relationships with Acho and network executive Dixon to further her career.

The 37-year-old is also suspected to have ‘used her sexuality to get into a show’ in 2020, when she sought a spot on Acho’s program ‘Speak’.

She later replaced former defensive end Wiley, who worked on the show between 2018 and 2022.

Taylor then began hosting alongside Acho and, in the wake of the allegations, Wiley hinted that this was no coincidence.

“I never heard of Charlie Dixon and Joy Taylor sleeping together,” Wiley said. ‘But if I hear that, I’m not going to lie to you. It makes a lot of things make sense. It makes a lot of sense to me.’

The allegations about Dixon and Taylor have not been confirmed. But, speaking on his YouTube show on MondayWiley brought up a hypothetical situation involving “an employee.”

His former Fox colleague Jason Whitlock claims that Wiley is actually talking about himself.

“Here’s an example of how it can get uglier,” Wiley explained. “What if there was an employee who lost their job – or had their job negatively impacted, intimidated, displaced, put in bad situations, out of the network.

“And it was because their boss allegedly slept with another employee and their co-host slept with the same employee?” he said.

‘And then that same employee – coincidentally – just replaces that person. It’s an example, sure, but imagine a love triangle child where the boss and a co-host slept with the same person, who ends up replacing that person.”

Wiley, who spent time with the Bills, Chargers, Cowboys and Jaguars, insists he had heard rumors of Acho and Taylor “sleeping together multiple times, as recently as a week or two.”

He also speculated that Acho’s departure from Speak — he now co-hosts “The Facility” — was due to their relationship going “sour.”

Neither Acho nor Taylor have responded to the allegations.

“Part of the reason it was suggested that they do a show together is because of the allegations in the lawsuit that they slept together and conspired to make that happen,” he said.

‘Conspiracy with Charlie, conspiracy with Emmanuel Acho, ‘let’s make this work’. What’s even crazier is how they broke up…why did they go to different shows, they say? The relationship was on the rocks.’

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Faraji, Acho, Bayless and Taylor for comment.
