Price Is Right Models Spill Show's Dark Secrets
4 Sep
Summary
- Former models detailed experiences of being sexualized on set.
- Allegations of harassment, racism marred the show's legacy.
- A docuseries revisited these negative experiences in March 2026.
The enduring legacy of The Price Is Right, which first aired 54 years ago, is now being re-examined through the experiences of its former models. While the game show and its late host, Bob Barker, are celebrated by some, allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and racism have cast a shadow. Before his passing in 2023, Barker maintained his innocence against these claims.
In March 2026, a two-part docuseries, E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals, delved into these issues, featuring former models like Kathleen Bradley and Holly Hallstrom. These participants recounted instances where they felt sexualized on the job. Bradley noted an initial friendly atmosphere that gradually shifted, with male crew members exhibiting inappropriate behavior towards the models, a situation she found more common than anticipated.
