According to the filings in court, Taylor used both these men to gain opportunities at Fox Sports. She even plotted a scheme to accuse Dixon of sexual misconduct after she had no benefit from her. A testimony from Noushin Faraji states that the behavior of Taylor had made her husband suspicious of her. One such incident took place when Giannotti, Taylor, Dixon, and Dixon’s wife were at dinner. Something occurred at the event which made Richard more suspicious of Taylor. A few weeks later, they filed for divorce after Giannotti discovered evidence against her.

Faraji has also stated in her file suit that former FS1 host Skip Bayless had offered her $ 1.5 million for sex. Dixon is accused of groping Faraji by her buttocks.
