After years of beefing with each other through television airwaves and social media, former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant has seemingly dropped his beef with former ESPN and Fox Sports 1 personality Skip Bayless. The reason for making amends, Bryant says, are due to the allegations that Bayless offered a Fox Sports 1 hairstylist $1.5 million to sleep with him.
In a bombshell lawsuit that rocked the sports media world, Skip Bayless was accused by Noushin Faraji of offering her $1.5 million to sleep together. The lawsuit also alleges that FS1 host Joy Taylor has “used her sexuality” to land gigs within the network.
After news of the Fox Sports 1 lawsuit broke, Dez Bryant got wind of Bayless’ alleged actions and seemingly saw it as a reason to forgive him.
“@RealSkipBayless , your new name is Pay for the P pimp Bayless. I no longer have a problem with you anymore…Welcome to the culture,” Bryant tweeted in response to the news.

Despite being named in the lawsuit, Bayless has been tweet and posting content without addressing the allegations. Similarly, Taylor was in her post hosting the FS1 sports talk show Speak on Monday and also did not address the allegations.
The news about Joy Taylor has made particular headlines, as she’s been accused of allegedly having a romantic relationship with Fox Sports EVP Charlie Dixon to advance her career, and was planning to tell company execs that Dixon “forced himself on her” when he was “no longer useful to her.”
The lawsuit also alleges she has been in a romantic relationship with Emmanuel Acho, another personality at Fox Sports 1 who has worked alongside Taylor for many years.
