Overview
- Dirty Rotten Scandals: The Price Is Right premiered March 18 on E!, featuring former models Kathleen Bradley and Holly Hallstrom alongside ex-producer Barbara Hunter.
- The women allege groping by crew, a stagehand who "rubbed up" against models, pervasive gawking on set, and an unenforced CBS "10-second rule" meant to curb staring.
- Hallstrom says Barker dismissed complaints and that she was pushed off the show after refusing to defend him during model Dian Parkinson’s 1994 harassment suit, which Barker denied before Parkinson withdrew.
- Reported patterns include racial slurs in production meetings, pressure on models to get breast implants at their own expense, and weight-based sidelining of talent.
- Barker’s longtime representative Roger Neal rejects the revived allegations, while CBS and producer Fremantle have given no substantive response following the broadcast; Barker died in 2023.
