Emmanuel Acho Cuts Live ‘Speakeasy’ Stream After LeSean McCoy Mentions Lawsuit Allegations

The on-air flare-up linked a pending FS1 misconduct lawsuit to the hosts’ independent show.

Overview

During a weekend live stream, LeSean McCoy referenced allegations from a 2025 lawsuit involving Emmanuel Acho and Joy Taylor, prompting Acho to halt the show.
Calling the comment “the biggest violation in this show’s history,” Acho told viewers he was “done” before abruptly ending the broadcast.
The lawsuit, filed by former FS1 hairstylist Noushin Faraji, alleges a romantic relationship between Acho and Taylor, and reporting notes Acho is not a plaintiff.
Acho and Taylor were laid off by Fox in July as part of programming changes that outlets did not attribute to the Faraji case.
The cohosts returned for another stream the next night without addressing the exchange, nodding to it only in promotional art as FS1 figures continue to keep public responses cautious.
