                        By  <a class="c-link  lrv-a-unstyle-link" href="https://www.sportico.com/author/michael-mccann/"             >   Michael McCann</a>                      <br>Legal Analyst and Senior Sports Legal Reporter<br>  Skip Bayless, former host of <em>Skip and Shannon: Undisputed</em> on <a  href="https://www.sportico.com/t/fox-sports/"  id="auto-tag_fox-sports_1"  data-tag="fox-sports"  >Fox Sports</a> 1, is among several key figures, along with the network, accused by former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji of sexual battery, hostile work environment and related claims in a Los Angeles County trial court.<br>    The complaint, first reported by <em>Front Office Sports</em>, was filed last Friday. Faraji&rsquo;s complaint also depicts Fox as underpaying workers, accusing Fox of failure to pay minimum wages, failure to pay overtime wages and failure to reimburse business expenses. She seeks for her case to be certified as a class action on behalf of similarly situated Fox employees.<br>     The 42-page complaint claims that multiple men sexually harassed and sexually battered Faraji while she worked at the company from 2012 to 2024. She claims that in 2017, FS1 executive Charlie Dixon rubbed her body with his hand and grabbed her buttocks. Faraji says she told a coworker, host Joy Taylor, about Dixon&#8217;s actions, and Taylor allegedly told Faraji to &ldquo;get over it.&rdquo; (Additionally, Faraji claims Taylor, who is also a named defendant, was sleeping with Dixon.)   <div class="admz" id="adm-inline-article-ad-1">                     <div class="adma boomerang" data-device="Desktop" data-width="300">                  <div style="min-width:300px;min-height:275px;"     class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text"   data-priority="10" >    <div id="gpt-sprt-dsk-tab-midarticle-uid0"      class="adw-300 adh-250" data-is-adhesion-ad="">         <script type="application/javascript">
