Dobkowitz Defends Price is Right Amid Harassment Claims

0:00On April 1st, Roger Dockiewicz, the longtime executive producer of The Price is Right, just spoke out against fresh allegations of sexual harassment. And racism aimed at former host Bob Barker in a new E. Documentary called Dirty Rotten Scandals. Some of Barker's beauties shared stories of mistreatment from decades ago. Dockiewicz slammed the show as a hit piece on his Facebook page. He worked on the program for 36 years, while Barker hosted from 1972 to 2007. Dockiewicz said the claims feel like personal attacks, especially since Barker passed away and can't respond. He questioned why these stories surfaced over 30 years later, on a daytime game show, few remember now. Fans and former staff have mixed reactions with some backing Dockiewicz's defense of the show's happy vibe. He pointed out low-staff turnover and models returning year after year, calling the work environment the envy of other programs. The documentary hasn't gained much buzz anyway.
