Faraji, who worked at FOX for 12 years until last August, claims she repeatedly rebuffed Bayless’ advances, telling him she was not interested in him and didn’t date coworkers.
She even told him she had ovarian cancer after experiencing issues with her left ovary in an attempt to get him to stop, but it only made him “more aggressive.”

Doesn’t your dad have three to four wives?” Ms. Faraji responded that her father was dead, and when Mr. Bayless looked taken aback, she made an excuse to leave.”
