Holly Hallstrom's Price Is Right Truth

0:00Entertainment's story is making news on March 21st. Holly Halstrom served as one of the Barker beauties on the Price's Right from 1977 until 1995. During that time, she faced a tough choice when asked to testify for host Bob Barker. In a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by another model, Diane, Parkinson, Halstrom refused, saying it would mean committing perjury. That decision led to her firing, though the official reason given was her weight. She knew it was retaliation for not supporting Barker in court, which is illegal. Once on his bad side, she felt his influence everywhere on the show. Barker held massive power as the star of the top daytime program, able to make calls that got things done without question. He even reportedly shut down a documentary about the backstage issues, leaving former staff like Halstrom feeling silenced and disheartened. For years, she stayed quiet to avoid more trouble, but after Barker's death in 2023, Halstrom began sharing her story publicly.

1:01Now, speaking out in recent documentaries has brought her real relief, lifting a heavy burden she's carried for decades and highlighting long-hidden industry problems.
