Bob Barker's Show: 'Sexual Harassment' Allegations Emerge
18 Mar
Summary
- Former models described an uncomfortable and inappropriate on-set environment.
- One former model stated Barker dismissed complaints, suggesting she quit.
- CBS allegedly implemented a '10-Second-Rule' to address inappropriate staring.
Former models and crew members from The Price Is Right are coming forward with allegations about the show's set culture during Bob Barker's 35-year hosting run. In a new docuseries, participants detail experiences of sexual harassment and an uncomfortable atmosphere, contradicting the show's wholesome image.
Kathleen Bradley and Holly Hallstrom shared accounts of inappropriate behavior from male staff, including unwanted touching. Bradley reported that her complaints to producers were not addressed, leading her to take matters into her own hands. Hallstrom claimed that host Bob Barker dismissed such concerns, advising complainants to 'get over it' or quit.
CBS reportedly introduced a '10-Second-Rule' to curb inappropriate staring, which Hallstrom criticized as a superficial measure. The situation reportedly intensified after Barker's alleged affair with model Dian Parkinson, contributing to a tumultuous set environment. These allegations surface as a new docuseries, Dirty Rotten Scandals, is set to premiere.
