Conscious Approach

This week, we're getting right into our thoughts on the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Fox Corporation by former Fox Sports hairstylist Noushin Faraji, alleging that Joy Taylor leveraged sexual relationships with a high-ranking executive as well as on-air personality Emmanuel Acho to advance her career. Furthermore, she is alleged to have told Faraji to get over it after Faraji confided in her over inappropriate offers of money for sex from Skip Bayless; AND, Taylor is alleged to have told Faraji that she plans to use the relationship with the executive as a leverage play to claim he forced himself onto her once he was no longer useful to her. There are so many layers to this, and we're here for all of it. We also discuss Lupe Fiasco joining Johns Hopkins University's Peabody Institute as a visiting professor for its four-year degree hip-hop program, as well as Draya Michele unmuting to site Mariah Carey's alleged relationship with Anderson Paak as an example of a double standard in how folks hate on her relationship with Jalen Green but seem to have no problem with Carey's relationship with Paak despite the age gap between both pairings being the same. Does she have a point? We also discuss harsh words Gilbert Arenas had for Pat Riley amid the Jimmy Butler debacle, Waka Flocka "exposing" our propensity for fake news, and hip-hop journalist Elliot Wilson's internet back-and-forth with Cam'ron and Mase over the merits of non-journalists in the media and reporting space.
