Taylor and her show, “Speak,” were reportedly canceled by Fox Sports 1. The network reportedly canceled three shows in total. Fox Sports 1 is making major changes heading into the 2025 football season.

It’s been an eventful past year for Taylor, who was named in a lawsuit filed against Fox Sports by Noushin Faraji, a make-up artist. She accused the network’s former top programming executive, Charlie Dixon, of sexual battery. The lawsuit claimed that Taylor told Faraji to “get over it.” Taylor denied the allegation, though she was also accused of having an inappropriate relationship with the Fox Sports 1 executive.

The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand first reported the news of Taylor’s ousting:

Taylor co-hosted “Speak” with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce. Taylor’s contract was up and not renewed by Fox Sports after she had been with the network for nearly a decade.

FS1 is also ending the morning shows “Breakfast Ball” and “The Facility.” Fox Sports declined to comment.

Colin Cowherd’s “The Herd,” which begins at noon (ET), and “First Things First” with Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes at 3 p.m. (ET), will continue in their time slots. FS1 will likely produce new shows in place of the cancellations.

Taylor seems to be handling the news of her firing in OK fashion.

The popular sports media personality turned heads with a workout video on the day of her ousting. She was working out while on vacation.

“Couple sets before the beach 💪🏽,” she wrote from vacation.
