Joy Taylor has never had a problem voicing her opinion, but after her latest appearance on Cam Newton’s podcast, social media has been ablaze. Taylor, in a clip now circulating, laid an epic roast on Jason Whitlock, poking fun at his history of remarks about her and also regarding his health in a moment that had fans both laughing and gasping.
Joy Taylor: “Every time someone brings up Jason Whitlock, I can’t believe he’s still with us. I don’t think anything works harder than his cholesterol, if I’m being honest.”
Cam Newton: “When he said, that rack?”
Joy Taylor: “Okay, before you go on, I’ve never watched this, okay? I’m only aware of this from a Jason conversation. I did not watch a single second of this. I couldn’t give a fuck less, and I have not consumed any of it… He said something about peanut butter, right?… What a shock, food.”
Cam Newton: “Peanut butter skin, and when I was working with her, we would always see her rack, and I wanted to stay away from her, because I knew what I would have done.”
Joy Taylor: “Well, I mean, he’s so desirable.”
Cam Newton: “But we love Jason.”
Joy Taylor: “I do not. No, we don’t. Who loves Jason? Does God love Jason? I do not. I do not love Jason. You say what you need to say. I don’t love everybody.”
Joy Taylor speaks and just destroyed Jason Whitlock 😭😭😭

The clip was trending online not just for Taylor’s ruthless honesty, but also due to Whitlock’s mounting controversy, as of late.
In recent months, Whitlock has faced backlash for comments he made on his show Fearless, where he suggested Taylor’s career success was tied to her personal relationships in a way that was deemed disrespectful by many sports fans and the media.
Those remarks sparked outrage across the sports world, with athletes like Damian Lillard calling him out.
The roast comes in the middle of an extraordinarily complicated chapter for Taylor. Earlier this year, she was named in a legal suit from former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji, who sued, alleging that Taylor downplayed sexual harassment allegations and had inappropriate relationships with Fox executives.
The lawsuit reignited scrutiny on FS1’s workplace environment, and Taylor found herself embroiled in the controversy without ever having confirmed or dealt with it head-on. Shortly after the lawsuit was publicized, Fox Sports canceled Speak and did not renew her contract.
In her first public conversation since getting let go, on The Ringer’s Higher Learning podcast, Taylor admitted the past year had taken a heavy toll. While she didn’t directly address the lawsuit, she questioned her future in broadcasting and even hinted at retirement.
For now, fans are celebrating the roast as one of the most unfiltered moments of Taylor’s career. Whether it marks a return to her fiery on-air persona or one of her last appearances before stepping away, the message was clear: Jason Whitlock won’t be getting any love from Joy Taylor anytime soon.
