Joy Taylor, a prominent sports media personality, is at the center of controversy after a past clip from The Ryen Russillo Podcast ReListenables resurfaced. In the clip, Taylor candidly discussed her take on “princess boys,” a term she coined to describe men seeking special treatment. The remarks, originally aired years ago, have reignited debates about her views, especially amid a recent scandal involving a lawsuit that names her, Fox Sports, and several others.
“I took it a step further, as I always do, and I dubbed them princess boys because clearly they want the princess treatment and being a woman of substance and means, I can provide that for them.”
“Now, there’s things that I want in exchange for taking care of a princess boy, and you know, if that is what men are interested in behaving like, I feel like I can do that. I can be that person for you. I can give you an experience you’ve never had. So, they were not very happy with me about that one.”

Initially framed as tongue-in-cheek, the comments have drawn mixed reactions from fans and critics alike. While some view her statements as a lighthearted take on shifting gender dynamics, others argue they perpetuate outdated stereotypes. The resurfaced clip couldn’t come at a worse time for Taylor, who is now entangled in a highly publicized legal battle.
The lawsuit, filed by former Fox Sports hairdresser Noushin Faraji, accuses Fox Sports of fostering a toxic workplace environment riddled with harassment, misconduct, and retaliation. Faraji alleges that Bayless offered her $1.5 million for a sexual encounter, despite her repeated refusals. The suit also details alleged instances of inappropriate physical contact, including “lingering hugs” and pressing his body against hers.
Faraji claims she reported the harassment to Fox’s Human Resources and Employee Relations departments but was ignored. Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Taylor of dismissing Faraji’s complaints and later bullying her after their friendship ended. Faraji alleges that Taylor’s alleged romantic relationships with figures like Emmanuel Acho and Charlie Dixon helped her secure career advancements at the network.
Adding fuel to the fire, a deleted video by Emmanuel Acho, another sports media personality, has raised questions about Taylor’s professional relationships.

The scandal has overshadowed Taylor’s career achievements and sparked widespread discussions about Fox Sports’ culture. In her defense, Taylor has often been a trailblazer in the sports media industry, advocating for women’s empowerment and inclusivity. However, the lawsuit paints a starkly different picture, accusing her of contributing to a hostile work environment.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the impact on Taylor’s career and reputation remains uncertain. For now, her remarks about “princess boys” serve as a lightning rod in an already heated debate, amplifying the scrutiny surrounding her role in the ongoing scandal. Whether she can weather this storm or if it will mark a turning point in her career is a question only time will answer.
