According to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, Joy Taylor will no longer work at FOX after FS1 chose to cancel three of its daily sports shows including "Speak" (which she hosted alongside Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson), "Breakfast Ball" and "The Facility."
The 38-year-old made a ton of headlines over the past year after she was named in an explosive lawsuit alleging that she harassed an ex-coworker and carried on an affair with top network executive Charlie Dixon, as well as former co-host Emmanuel Acho.
Taylor had been with FOX Sports for nearly a decade before the company decided against renewing her contract. And while FS1 has not offered any comment at this time, it's telling that all three of the canceled programs were created under Dixon.

Joy rose to prominence as the moderator of Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe's "Undisputed" before taking over Kristine Leahy's spot on "The Herd" with Colin Cowherd in 2018.

As things stand right now FOX will likely build its new programming around "The Herd" and "First Things First" which boasts the crew Nick Wright, Kevin Wildes and Chris Broussard.
Taylor also runs her own podcast called "Two Personal" which used to co-star Bleacher Report's Taylor Rooks but now centers around Joy and a rotating cast of interview guests.
