Charlie Dixon Fired from Fox Sports Amid Sexual Battery Lawsuits

Charlie Dixon, executive vice president and top programming decision-maker at FS1, is no longer with Fox Sports following his involvement as a co-defendant in two lawsuits alleging sexual battery by former employees Noushin Faraji and Julie Stewart-Binks. Faraji accused Dixon of inappropriate touching at a party, while Stewart-Binks alleged he forcibly kissed her in a hotel room in 2016; Dixon has denied any sexual or offensive contact in response to the latter claim. The lawsuits also include broader allegations of a culture of harassment at Fox Sports, with settlement talks currently underway but no public resolution yet announced. Dixon had been placed on administrative leave in February following the filing of these lawsuits, and Fox Sports has made no further public comment on the matter. Some former employees, such as Katie Nolan, have publicly criticized Dixon in the wake of these allegations.
