Here's more entertainment and celebrity news for March 17th. Former models and a producer from The Price is Right are speaking out about a toxic work environment during Bob Barker's 35-year run as host, which started in 1972. In the upcoming E, DocuSeries, Dirty Rotten Scandals, they describe widespread inappropriate behavior toward the women on set, known as Bob's beauties. Women like Kathleen Bradley and Holly Hallstrom recall crew members galking and getting physically too close, with one stagehand repeatedly rubbing up. Against them, producer Barbara Hunter shares her own encounters, including a man groping her in an elevator, noting it became normal to brush off such advances, quietly. When complaints reach producers or Barker, little changed, according to the women. Bradley says she got no help after reporting the stagehand, so she handled it herself in a confrontation involving golf clubs. Hallstrom claims Barker dismissed issues by telling models to get over it or look elsewhere

for work. CBS responded with a so-called 10-second rule to limit staring at models, but the women call it ineffective and just for show, with no real. Enforcement Tensions escalated further, due to Barker's affair with longtime model Diane Parkinson, leading to on-set fights that they say damaged the shows, Atmosphere. The DocuSeries highlights past scandals too, like Parkinson's 1994. Harassment lawsuit against Barker, which she later dropped, and Hallstrom's firing overweight gain for medication. Dirty Rotten scandals premieres on E, with two episodes on March 18th, and CBS has not yet commented. D&N is sponsored by our partner, check out the episode description.
