On September 9, 2019, fuboTV announced that Stewart-Binks would be hosting two new sports-oriented talk shows on fubo Sports Network, "Call It A Night with Julie-Stewart-Binks" and "Drinks With Binks."

Sexual assault allegations

In January 2025, Stewart-Binks filed a lawsuit against Fox News and Charlie Dixon, a senior executive, alleging sexual assault that occurred in 2016. The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on January 31, 2025, and claims that Dixon assaulted her after inviting her to his hotel room under the pretense of discussing Super Bowl preparations. According to the lawsuit, during a meeting on January 27, 2016, Dixon allegedly made derogatory comments about Stewart-Binks' abilities and suggested she was not attractive enough for television. He then invited her to his hotel room for a drink and to see the view. Once there, he allegedly pinned her against a wall, restrained her arms, and attempted to kiss her forcibly.

Following the incident, Stewart-Binks reported the assault to Fox's human resources department during an investigation into another executive's conduct. However, she claims that instead of taking action against Dixon, Fox chose to protect him, allowing him to remain in his position for nearly a decade. As a result of this alleged retaliation, her contract with Fox was not renewed shortly after the incident.

Stewart-Binks indicated that Faraji's case motivated her to come forward with her own allegations.

Stewart-Binks sought unspecified damages and injunctive relief.
