What Happens to Joy Taylor Next?

Joy Taylor’s sudden exit from FS1 has opened the door to a wide range of post-TV opportunities. Some traditional, others completely out of left field. While the lawsuit and show cancellations damaged her immediate appeal in mainstream media, her audience reach and public profile still give her leverage. The real question isn’t whether she’ll resurface, but how.

Our oddsmakers believe that launching a podcast of her own is the most likely move for Taylor, but let’s take a look at what else they believe could be in store for the former FS1 host.

Will ESPN Hire Joy Taylor?

Despite the legal cloud, ESPN is the top candidate to bring Taylor back into the fold. They’ve rehired FS1 castaways in the past, and she fits the mold of ESPN personalities who’ve thrived in second-act roles.

She’d likely start in a lower-visibility setting, perhaps radio, social content, or sideline features, before building back up to a hosting role. But there’s risk. With ESPN trimming budgets and avoiding controversy, any offer would likely be short-term and performance-based. Still, it’s the most mainstream, logical next step in terms of brand recovery.

Could Joy Taylor Launch an OnlyFans?

This could be a potential path for Taylor. She already leans into sensuality with her social presence.

If traditional TV doors close, she may monetize the attention through exclusive content. It wouldn’t have to be explicit. Plenty of public figures use OnlyFans for fitness content, lifestyle material, or suggestive modeling.

With a strong male following and no current employer restrictions, she could easily turn this into a six-figure play. The odds are listed at 18% for a reason—it’s bold, but far from unthinkable.

Maxim, Playboy Could Offer a Soft Reset

A magazine feature—especially one that controls the narrative—might be Taylor’s way of regaining control over how the public views her.

Playboy, Maxim, or a digital men’s outlet like Galore could provide a platform for a glamorized comeback. It’s not about shock value anymore, it’s more about redefining the brand and signaling freedom from corporate censorship.

She wouldn’t be the first media figure to pivot into suggestive modeling as part of a reinvention. At 11%, it’s one of the most viable non-sports options on the board.

Other Possibilities

• Barstool is a long shot, but their chaos-first hiring playbook leaves room for a wildcard pickup.
• OutKick could pitch her as a media victim silenced by woke culture. Not her brand, but they’d take her.
• Dancing With the Stars and Celebrity Big Brother give Taylor visibility without the burden of commentary.
• Ringer-style podcasting is viable, but she’d need a partner or hot take format to stand out.

Expert Commentary

“Joy Taylor’s next move is about how fast she can flip the narrative. She’s got the reach to build her own thing, but traditional platforms like ESPN won’t touch her unless this lawsuit cools off.

The OnlyFans speculation exists because she’s leaned into that aesthetic for years. And with Playboy or Maxim? That’s more of a brand reset than a scandal.

At this stage, she needs visibility more than credibility, and there are plenty of ways to get that without needing a network.”
