Joy Taylor’s father didn’t have good terms with his step-kids from his wife, Georgia’s ex-partner. The familial issues even led him to court for misbehaving with his stepson, Jason Taylor’s family, with a firearm in his own house.
Joy Allison Taylor is an American sports journalist and a TV host currently working with Fox Sports 1 (FS1).
The lady also co-hosts the show Speak alongside Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce. Joy previously served as the moderator for Skip and Shannon: Undisputed.
The journalist grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and attended higher education at Barry University.
She grew up with her siblings and her brothers, including her elder brother, Jason, who acted as a father figure for her.
After graduation, she began her professional journey at 790 AM The Ticket in Miami. Taylor went on to work with multiple companies, including Fox Sports.
Fox Sports Journalist Joy Taylor Was Born To Anthony Taylor And Jason Taylor’s Biological Mother, Georgia Taylor!
Joy Taylor, daughter of Georgia and Anthony, was born on January 17, 1987, in a large family of multiple siblings.
Reports suggest that she comes from a mixed ethnic background, with her father being black and her mother being white.
Growing up with African-American parents in Pennsylvania, Joy holds American citizenship by birth.
According to The Plam Beach Post, Joy was born to Georgia and Anthony, and Jason isn’t her biological brother.
Football Hall of Famer Jason Taylor was just ten when Anthony, his step-dad, married his mother.
Though they aren’t siblings by blood, the football player acted as her parent during their dad’s absence.
Even their mother had problems. Anthony, the adoptive father, had issues with cellphone hookups.
Though Joy was the biological daughter of Anthony Taylor, she and her other siblings had a rocky relationship with him.
Jason had little knowledge of his biological dad and had a strained relationship with his stepfather.
He wasn’t much of a family man and struggled with societal expectations.
The issues within the family got more publicized after the Taylors’ father got charged with aggravated assault.
He was apprehended, and the case went to court with a firearm scuffling at his eldest stepson, Jason Taylor’s home.
Talking about him, Jason said,
Obviously, the father figure I had in my house, we didn’t vibe. That drives me even more to be to my son what he wasn’t to me.
On the other hand, Joy had a beautiful relationship with her mother, but information about her remains largely in the public domain.
Based on social media posts and Father’s Day wishes, we can conclude what her elder siblings meant to her.
The lady believes and admires her brothers as her father, suggesting that her biological dad, Anthony, has been missing from her life.
