Antonio Brown takes wild shot at Joy Taylor 2 days after Fox fires NFL analyst in shocking shakeup

Fox Sports let go of analyst and sports anchor Joy Taylor after nearly a decade of working together, reports from The Athletic confirmed on Monday. Just two days after the broadcast giant fired Taylor, former NFL star Antonio Brown took a cheap shot at the former "Speak" host.

On X, Brown shared a photoshopped picture of Taylor's face on a police officer's uniform.

Although Brown did not write any message in his tweet about Taylor, many believe that the image was referencing Maegan Hall, a former Tennessee officer who made headlines after an investigation in 2023 alleged that she had sexual relationships with her male colleagues to climb the ranks.

Hall later received a $500,000 settlement from La Vergne as part of a lawsuit against the police department.

Notably, Fox's decision not to renew Taylor's contract comes only six months after she was named in a sexual assault and discrimination lawsuit by a former employee of the network, Noushin Faraji, who worked as a hairstylist and make-up artist. Taylor denied the allegations in the lawsuit.

Brown, a Super Bowl winner with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, announced his retirement from football in March 2023. However, he has gained notoriety for his social media since calling it quits with football.

Although Joy Taylor won't be a part of Fox Sports in the 2025 NFL season, she appears to be in good spirits. On Tuesday, she shared a video on Instagram performing some workout exercises.

"Couple sets before the beach 💪🏽" Taylor wrote in the caption of her IG post.

Taylor had joined FS1 in March 2016 and played different roles on the network, including filling in for Kristine Leahy on "The Herd with Colin Cowherd."

Taylor had been a key presence on the former FS1 show "Speak "since 2022, sharing the desk with former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson and ex-NBA player Paul Pierce.

However, ahead of the 2025 season, FS1 pulled the plug on "Speak" along with "Breakfast Ball" and "The Facility" as part of the network's shakeup.
