00:08Tributes are pouring in today for Price is Right host Bob Barker, who died of natural causes at age 99
00:15at his Hollywood Hills home.
00:16He was one of the most beloved men in the country, if not the world.
00:22The Price is Right was the number one game show in America.
00:25The longest running game show in history.
00:27This was the American dream. People dream of hearing their names and being told to come on down.
00:35And Bob Barker was the number one show host.
00:41Bob Barker was a master at what he did. He was wonderful with the contestants.
00:48Women loved Bob Barker.
00:50When I was on The Price is Right, I got up on the stage and I said, Bob, can I
00:54kiss you?
00:55You know, all-American game shows, giving everybody cars.
00:59I've always admired him. He'd exude kindness.
01:03I don't think he could do anything wrong.
01:08America loved him, but we knew a different Bob Barker.
01:13Most people are not aware of how many times Bob Barker has been sued by female employees.
01:20He is a liar. He is a shameless, self-promoting liar.
01:27The real Bob Barker was selfish, conceited.
01:30He was verbally abusive to me. He called me a dumb bitch.
01:33He was vindictive. He was sexually aggressive.
01:35If you don't do what I want, you are going to regret it.
01:39And then all of a sudden, Bob started having sex with Diane.
01:45The Price is Right scandal was such a stunning story.
01:49One of the men stuck their hands right on my boobs.
01:53We were only allowed to have two black contestants on the show at a time.
01:56That was a direct instruction from Bob Barker.
01:59People were calling me the N-word, saying you shouldn't have your black ass on the show.
02:04Sexist jokes, racist jokes.
02:06Intimidation, harassment, discrimination.
02:09Really, something much darker that was happening behind the scenes.
02:14I lived through hell.
02:17The show has been shrouded in silence for too long.
02:22The story needs to be told.
02:35It's time to tell the truth.
02:38Come on now!
02:51I remember first hearing about the Bob Barker scandal in the 90s.
02:56Everyone's talking about game show host Bob Barker.
03:00And thinking, oh, wait a minute, that can't be.
03:02The quiz show sex scandal that is rocking Hollywood.
03:05This grandfatherly guy that everybody loved might be a sex harriser.
03:10I have never forced her to do one thing that she did not want to do.
03:15It went so against his public persona that you had to cover it.
03:19And cover it we did.
03:23I'm Diane Diamond.
03:24I used to be a senior correspondent with the syndicated television show Hard Copy.
03:30We were a really popular tabloid television show back then.
03:36We all wanted to know what life was really like behind those big doors at The Price is Right.
03:43You know, Bob Barker, he was so popular.
03:46Was he actually doing what Diane Parkinson said he was doing back in the dressing room?
03:52We want to believe that these people who are on our televisions are beyond reproach.
03:57That they're our best friends.
03:59But believe me, in Hollywood, there's a lot of people with dark sides.
04:13I was thinking the other day that in our industry, there are one of a kinds.
04:18There'll never be another Elvis Presley, another Marilyn Monroe, and there'll never be another Bob Barker.
04:27So the tie I'm wearing, actually, it was one of Barker's ties.
04:30I was fortunate to be given a few of his ties when he passed.
04:34I have not put any of them on until today.
04:37I wear it proudly.
04:44I'm Roger Neal.
04:45I was Bob Barker's publicist for 15 years and knew him for almost 40 years.
04:51So Barker was born in 1923 in Washington State.
04:591950, he's 27 years old.
05:01He and his bride come to Hollywood.
05:03He had success when he got here.
05:06Radio and television.
05:08Remember this name.
05:09You're going to be hearing a lot about him.
05:11Here he is, ladies and gentlemen.
05:12Bob Barker.
05:13Bob Barker.
05:13Bob Barker.
05:16And they started his legendary career in Hollywood.
05:19So Mark Goodson and Bill Todman did the original version of Price is Right in the 50s.
05:26And in 1972, they decided to bring that show back.
05:30And they said, that's who we want to host the new Price is Right, which created, I think,
05:35probably with the greatest game show in history.
05:44When I hear the Price is Right, the first thing I think about is the first show.
05:49I think about Bob walking through the doors onto the Price is Right stage.
05:53And now, here's the star of the new Price is Right, Bob Barker.
05:58And the audience went crazy.
06:03My name is Barbara Hunter.
06:06I was the first female producer for Mark Goodson Productions.
06:10The original production team was nine of us.
06:13I would be with Barker in his dressing room before every show.
06:19There's your $100.
06:20$100.
06:21And there's your one bin.
06:22My one bin?
06:23Yeah.
06:23We became really good friends.
06:28I think he had an ego.
06:30He called himself the world's greatest master of ceremonies.
06:34But I guess it was deserved.
06:36He never seemed to fail at anything.
06:43The new Price is Right was a hit from day one.
06:47And it had a lot to thank.
06:49It had a beautiful set.
06:51It had an incredible host.
06:53Bob Barker!
06:55People dream of being on the Price is Right.
06:57It was the only show taking everyday, untested people plucked from the audience to win glamorous
07:05prizes for a lot of people.
07:07It becomes this thing to attain.
07:11My name is Christian Carrion.
07:13I am one of the leading game show nerds in the world.
07:20In the new version of the Price is Right, we're jazzing up the show.
07:23We're going to jazz up the on-air personnel as well.
07:26And so they introduced the Barker's beauties.
07:29I think that was probably the smartest thing that they did was put three beautiful models
07:33on the show, modeling the prizes, and America fell in love.
07:44We would call them the girls.
07:46It seemed okay at the time.
07:48Maybe it doesn't sound good now.
07:49But they were wonderful.
07:52Janice was the adult in the room.
07:56Diane was beautiful, but very fragile.
08:00And Holly was just a lot of fun, always.
08:05Holly Hallstrom was the funny one.
08:11She's my favorite by a mile.
08:14She wasn't afraid to fall on her face.
08:18She wasn't afraid to trip and drop something or, you know, mess up a prize because it was
08:23fun.
08:23It was just fun to watch.
08:26She was the first one to let everybody involved know, you can get laughs and be a game show model.
08:32There was no precedent.
08:33So you were setting the precedent of how big you could go, how crazy you could act.
08:41I'm going to hit this boom mic, you know.
08:44Are you want, is the boom in the shot?
08:49How did I miss it?
08:50My head was right next to it.
08:53I think they could sense that I was not perfect.
08:57I was not poised.
08:59I was trying so hard to look like I belonged there.
09:02But of course, I was just some country hick, hippie chick trying to convince people I was
09:08a professional model.
09:11If you look at my first shows, it's like just sheer terror behind the smile.
09:16I'm like, okay, is this good?
09:19And I'm looking at the wrong camera.
09:20Go lie down, Holly.
09:22But eventually, these people just became my new friends and family.
09:28I had come to L.A. and I didn't know anyone.
09:31It was such a tight, fun group.
09:35Here we are at Janice's wild kingdom.
09:37Oh, he's looking at it.
09:38Boy, the dangerous Katie did.
09:41At the time, I had no idea what was going to happen.
09:47America thinks he's Santa Claus.
09:50You know, he's out there giving away cars.
09:52People loved him.
09:54He was very amicable on stage.
09:59So that's what they saw.
10:02People are not going to believe when they hear the whole story.
10:09All the drama, all the chaos backstage, it was just bad.
10:16There were so many people involved.
10:17It wasn't just Barker.
10:18They know what they did, and they're still out there.
10:21It's power.
10:22It's 1,000% abuse of power.
10:27Finally, women stood up and said, no more.
10:32I wanted to wait until Bob was gone, because I knew that he would jump in and deny everything.
10:44But I was there.
10:46I heard what was said, and I know he is lying.
10:50For years, Bob Barker controlled the story.
10:54But that ends today.
11:05L.A. in the 70s, it was wild.
11:11It was out all night clubbing and just continue the party back at work.
11:20After we'd wrap, we'd sit in the green room and order pizza and open the liquor cabinet.
11:29It was full of any kind of liquor you wanted, all the cigarettes you wanted.
11:34That prompted some of us to go out onto an empty stage and put on shows at 10 o'clock
11:41at night.
11:43The early days, a producer named Jay Wolpert, who was brilliant, he created a whole let's-have-fun-kitties kind
11:53of atmosphere.
11:55The Price is Right under Jay Wolpert had a sort of madcap quality to it.
12:02There's laughter and there's bizarre, surreal humor in the showcases and some of the prizes.
12:08Jay Wolpert was instrumental in that.
12:10It was a great day if you could make Jay laugh or surprise him.
12:14I can't tell you how many times I said, I can't believe they're paying me to do this.
12:19And all that changed when Jay left.
12:24When Jay left the show in 1978, I was on track to become producer.
12:31Barbara was basically running the show.
12:34But rather than promote Barbara to producer, the executive producer, Frank Wayne, hired his son, Phil Wayne, to produce the
12:45show.
12:45And he had no experience producing a television show like that.
12:52Nepotism is the worst thing about Hollywood.
12:54Because you have people in positions that should not be in those positions.
13:02There was all kinds of problems and stop tape.
13:06Because Phil would sit at the production table and doze off.
13:11What are you doing over here today?
13:13Now, first of all...
13:14Not only did they hire him, they put his name first on the credits and gave him the same salary
13:21that it had taken Barbara 10 years with the company to get.
13:30There was a prevailing attitude that the men were the decision makers and women were just accessories.
13:39If you look at the way the show was staffed back in the day, it was very much an old
13:43boys club.
13:43They're just so clearly from a different era.
13:47And Bob Barker, the guy with the power, he would dictate the culture of the workplace.
13:53I had some recurring characters that I would play.
13:57I remember the French maid.
13:58Yes, folks, our hard-working models are never finished until they've taken care of Bob Barker at home.
14:04When we did sketches, everything was catered to Bob because he liked the attention and the power that it gave
14:14him.
14:16That was their mindset.
14:19Women should just be voluptuous, movable props.
14:24You know, you go out, you stand next to a boat, and you're wearing a bathing suit.
14:28They put us in bathing suits every opportunity they got.
14:33And they liked to remind us, Janice, Diane, and I, that we were replaceable, so that we would never feel
14:42secure.
14:44The producers would call us every week and say, we would like to use you this week, like we were
14:53just weekly contract players, when actually we were a huge part of the show.
14:58But they never wanted us to think that or know that.
15:06I remember one year, Frank came to me and said, we really need a model who can fill out a
15:16bathing suit.
15:17I would advise you to use your hiatus wisely.
15:23Meaning, I had to go get breast implants.
15:27And I had to pay for it myself.
15:31And they could do that back then.
15:33They could tell you, you're going to get breast implants.
15:36And there was nothing you could say.
15:38It was an office full of men.
15:41Probably in their late 40s or 50s.
15:44And all the young girls, we were in our 20s.
15:47That's what we were dealing with.
15:49One time, I was told, go to wardrobe and put on a bunny cocktail outfit with mesh, nylons on, and
16:01high heels.
16:02And then, take this bottle of vodka to Mr. Goodson.
16:08Mark Goodson was the biggest game show producer there was.
16:15And so, I said, okay.
16:20So, I went into Mr. Goodson's office with the vodka.
16:24And there were like five men sitting around.
16:28I was really uncomfortable.
16:32Nothing happened to me.
16:35I probably shouldn't have said yes.
16:37But I didn't want to lose my job.
16:40And I had no idea at what point could you lose your job.
16:48And then it starts to turn even darker.
16:58Bob's beloved wife, Dorothy Jo, passes away in 1981.
17:02Dorothy Jo was Bob's biggest cheerleader.
17:05She is why he had the career that he had up to that point.
17:08They went to Hawaii in August.
17:11Then she was diagnosed with lung cancer.
17:16And died two months later.
17:19Bob really went into a funk after that.
17:23He was ready to take his own life.
17:26That's what he shared with me.
17:29He was devastated, really, by her death.
17:33There was a long period of mourning.
17:35And then, all of a sudden, he became like Mr. Man About Town, you know?
17:44He knew that he was the star of the biggest show in daytime.
17:51And Dorothy Jo wasn't there anymore, keeping him reined in.
17:56It's like he was unleashed.
18:02And turned into this narcissistic egomaniac.
18:20The price is right.
18:22By the time the 80s came around, just became this ratings juggernaut.
18:27It's the highest rated show on CBS, the highest rated show in daytime.
18:32The Barker's beauties become household names.
18:36And Bob Barker himself was becoming famous.
18:431982, Bob Barker wins his first Emmy.
18:46Bob Barker for The Price is Right.
18:49It was the first of 19 Emmys.
18:52The show was just beloved.
18:54And then he was hosting the pageant.
18:56And he was hosting the Tournament of Roses parade.
18:59The man was busy.
19:01When the show starts, you have to turn it on.
19:04And when you've done it long enough, you know which button to press.
19:09People could not get enough of The Price is Right and Bob Barker.
19:14I remember 1987, when Bob came back from vacation.
19:22He walked on stage.
19:25And his hair had gone natural.
19:27And the audience went crazy.
19:30They gave him a three-minute standing ovation.
19:34And it was screaming, whistling, and catcalling from women.
19:39Thank you, ma'am.
19:42It turned into this national publicity story.
19:47And it made him feel like the supreme ruler of his universe.
19:53So, Bob really saw himself as a major star.
19:59Over the years, he would negotiate a little more power for himself.
20:04A little more control.
20:06Or a little more money.
20:08And the next thing you know, Barker had literally seized control of the show.
20:15When I started researching this story, it was one of these stories that you never heard much more about.
20:21Because the principal characters weren't speaking.
20:23So, I guess for me, this is just a great lost story about how people are intimidated and silenced.
20:30My name is David Kushner.
20:31In 2024, I wrote an article about The Price is Right for Business Insider.
20:37In the late 80s, Barker controlled the game.
20:40The game on TV, the game off TV, the game backstage.
20:46When Bob took over executive producer, he controlled with an absolutely ruthless iron fist.
20:55If something happened on set, like if he didn't have a prop that he was supposed to have,
21:01or if there were stop downs during taping, if it made him angry, he had to just shred someone.
21:09A cameraman, a cable puller, anyone venting his rage without ever considering how humiliating this was to whoever he was
21:21shredding.
21:22And he didn't care.
21:24He didn't care.
21:31One of the first cracks came in 1988.
21:34This was something that revealed the real power behind the scenes.
21:41My name is Robert Cisneros.
21:43I was stage manager on Price is Right.
21:46I was on the show from the good old days in the beginning until things kind of progressed a little
21:52bit differently later on.
21:55In 1988, I was backstage in my normal starting position for the show.
22:00The announcer started calling contestants, you know, come on down.
22:06One of the cameras has to swing from the stage to the audience to shoot the audience.
22:12The director's going, get your shot, get your shot.
22:15And the guy whipped his camera, and Janice happened to be standing right there.
22:20And there's a ledge with about a three-foot drop to the concrete floor.
22:25And he hit Janice, and she went over.
22:31And then people start screaming.
22:34Bob came out and said, listen, we have a show to do.
22:38He says, so I need you to be your best like nothing ever happened.
22:43Show must go on.
22:46One could argue that he has this, you know, show must go on attitude, and we got to just get
22:51together.
22:51But, you know, you just imagine someone in your family gets knocked unconscious.
22:55You're going to kind of stop everything.
22:57And ostensibly, they were a family.
22:59But he just was not treating anyone that way.
23:03That episode revealed the attitude behind the scenes, which is you're kind of on your own.
23:08You get hit by a camera.
23:09We don't have your back.
23:14At the same time, CBS starts to get flack for being called the Caucasian broadcast system.
23:22Because of how white it is.
23:25So they're talking to each other.
23:27Listen, we've got to diversify.
23:29They targeted The Price is Right, of course, because this is the biggest daytime show.
23:33And all the models have always been white.
23:37So they do a casting call for the first black Barker's Beauty.
23:45When I was growing up, I would always watch The Price is Right and admire the Barker beauties.
23:53This was the elite modeling gig of all time.
23:59I said, wow, that looks like something I could do.
24:06I'm Kathleen Bradley.
24:07I'm so happy and proud that I was able to be the first permanent black model on The Price is
24:14Right.
24:25I remember how exciting it was.
24:28My very first day, I'll never forget, and just driving up on the lot with the big CBS sign.
24:33They're right there on Beverly and Fairfax.
24:39Boy, was I nervous.
24:41I mean, all of a sudden, here comes a black girl on the show.
24:44And you're always going to have negativity and people who are prejudiced.
24:49But I'm kind of used to it.
24:50I got thick skin.
24:53I was born near Youngstown, Ohio.
24:56Dad worked at the steel mill like almost everyone else.
24:59I did break a lot of barriers.
25:01I was the first black homecoming queen.
25:05Then I went on to join an all-female group called The Love Machine.
25:10I did it for eight years to put me in the position, I believe, to be one of Barker's beauties.
25:17Since Kathleen has become Barker's beauty.
25:20Right here.
25:21I knew I could do it.
25:23I love being in front of the live audience.
25:26I called everybody.
25:27I told them, I said, finally, I'm going to be at Bar Barker's beauty.
25:30I'm on The Price is Right.
25:31It was just one of the happiest times of my life.
25:34But as time went on, at some point it got back to me that some of the fans were writing
25:42negative things about me being on the show as a black model, saying you shouldn't have
25:47your black ass on the show, and just not a good feeling.
25:51You would like to think Kathleen Bradley's arrival would signify that times are changing.
25:56They were kind of changing on screen, but not necessarily backstage.
26:01Then one of the ladies on the production team brought to my attention that inside a production
26:08meeting, when the models weren't in there, they would use the N-word.
26:16People should know the truth.
26:18The good, the bad, the ugly.
26:19It wasn't just Bar Barker.
26:21And there are people who are not talking in this documentary because they know what they
26:26did, and they're still out there.
26:29Intimidation, harassment, discrimination, really despicable things.
26:36And they were just getting away with it.
26:51Watching older episodes of The Price is Right today is pretty cringeworthy.
26:57And they just see the way that Bob handles women in general on the show.
27:04He would call contestants little girl.
27:06Step back here, my child.
27:07I want to talk with you for just a minute.
27:09He would comment on their appearance.
27:12I'll watch you dress.
27:13You watch the wheel.
27:14I think it's fair to say that he wanted to be like Hugh Hefner, or he wanted to be like
27:19Charlie with Charlie's Angels.
27:21That's just kind of how he saw the world, you know?
27:23Show them, everyone, what you can do with those lovely little dresses you have on today.
27:28Yeah.
27:28There they go.
27:29There they go.
27:31And I think especially as it goes into the 90s, and just that newfound freedom that women
27:35had to speak out.
27:37I was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.
27:40The world was changing.
27:42Justice Ginsburg, will you raise your right hand and repeat after me?
27:46But the culture backstage at The Price is Right didn't really change along with it.
27:53When I initially started the show, everybody was pretty cool and really friendly, especially
28:00the crew.
28:02But over a course of time, I kind of noticed the guys were kind of talking, looking, gawking
28:08at the girls.
28:09I found out this was a little more commonplace than I thought.
28:13It became common knowledge, stay away from this person or stay away from that person.
28:19There was stuff going on where you had to say, hey, stop that.
28:25One time, I was in the elevator and one of the men just stuck their hands right on my boobs.
28:33You know, I had to push them away.
28:37I didn't say anything.
28:39It became instinct to know how to handle it.
28:43One guy in particular, he was a little friendly, too friendly.
28:49Would rub up against us, joking around.
28:53It was totally inappropriate.
28:55I learned the stage hand had been around on the set for a long time and was probably doing
29:01it to all the other girls.
29:04When I reported this guy to the producers, to my surprise, no action was taken.
29:11I was really taken aback.
29:13This was really sexual harassment.
29:17So I took matters into my own hands.
29:21One day, we had a set of golf clubs on the set.
29:24I said, oh, hey, show me.
29:26Do you know how to play golf?
29:27He said, yeah, I play a little bit.
29:29Come here, let me show you.
29:30So I let him get behind me and I said, uh, okay, uh, I backed up.
29:40I accidentally hit him right in the groin.
29:43Accidentally on purpose, that was.
29:46We were so exhausted and tired of the treatment.
29:50You just have to do what you have to do.
29:54If anyone had gone to Bob, because Bob is in charge of the show, and said, I have a problem,
30:02I have a complaint, he would have, um, told her to get over it or look for a new job.
30:10Eventually, CBS, after receiving a lot of complaints about staff hitting on the models and staring
30:16at them and making creepy comments to them, they instated a, what they call the 10-second rule,
30:21where you were not allowed to openly stare at a model for more than 10 seconds.
30:2810 seconds is a long time to stare at somebody.
30:33Yeah, it's crazy.
30:34One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
30:45It was something that was put in place to placate the people who were complaining about being objectified.
30:51And it wasn't, to my knowledge, enforced.
30:54There was no one monitoring how long the guys were staring at the models.
30:58It was a joke.
30:59It was an appeasement.
31:02They did things that made it look like they were taking action.
31:05So you will stop complaining and go away.
31:08The show was making a lot of money.
31:10The show was making millions.
31:11And so I think that it behooved them to sweep those things under the rug.
31:16Which was really hard, because Bob started having sex with Diane.
31:24It took a toll.
31:25There was fighting on the sets, yelling, and it was massive.
31:29And it ultimately, I think, destroyed Price is Right.
31:44These were some very happy times.
31:47It was so nice and wonderful and happy days back then.
31:51And it just reverberates in my heart, my soul.
31:55It was looking at Bob, looking at Janice and Holly, and standing next to everybody.
31:59You know, one big, happy family.
32:03When we hit the stage, the professionalism was there.
32:06But there were so many different things going on behind the scenes.
32:10There was some tension between the Barker beauties.
32:15There was a lot of animosity.
32:18Holly and Janice and Kathleen, they always got along together really well.
32:22And Diane was kind of the outcast.
32:25Diane Parkinson became the third Barker's beauty in 1975 on The Price is Right.
32:34She was what we would consider today to be the prototype of a supermodel.
32:40She won Miss USA.
32:42She was a runner-up in the Miss World pageant.
32:45With things like this around, I can't understand why Uncle Sam wants you.
32:50Diane Parkinson was, she once said, the wholesome, sexy one.
32:55She was really kind of positioned to be like the Pam Anderson of daytime TV.
33:01She'd wear negligees and revealing bathing suits.
33:04The fan reaction to Diane was pretty intense.
33:07I mean, I like the show, but she makes it.
33:09Diane is the show.
33:10She got thousands of pieces of fan mail per week from people that just loved watching her.
33:18Janice and I first realized long before the rest of the set knew that Diane and Bob were having sex.
33:28Diane confided in me, did you know I'm seeing Bob Barker?
33:32I'm like, what?
33:34Really?
33:35Oh, wow.
33:35Okay.
33:36I was really kind of surprised because Bob also had a girlfriend.
33:43As time went on, people were noticing, the audience and the viewers at home,
33:47how close Bob and Diane were hugging and looking at each other and playing around and all of that.
33:54There's nothing.
33:54Well, this is just a big mix-up.
33:56There's more Price is Right coming up.
33:58So it didn't really stay private very long.
34:04She would go downstairs during the breaks and go into his dressing room.
34:12And that's when some real hanky-panky was going on.
34:15She suggested that I had been so straight-laced all my life that I needed some hanky-panky in my
34:23life.
34:23Now, that was the word she used, hanky-panky.
34:25And she volunteered to provide the hanky-panky in my life.
34:30One day I was walking into the studio and walking past Bob's room.
34:35Well, she came walking out of that door, closing her robe with a big smile on her face.
34:42And I go, oh, what's going on here?
34:50Everybody knew who worked on that show that Bob Barker and Diane Parkinson were having an affair.
34:57It really divided the Barker beauties because suddenly Diane was the queen bee and they just had to watch their
35:05P's and Q's.
35:06Otherwise, pillow talk would go against them.
35:09Of course the other models hated Diane.
35:12Of course she was getting preferential treatment.
35:15She was sleeping with the boss.
35:16Everyone was basically kissing her behind because she may potentially be the new Mrs. Barker.
35:23In an already volatile interpersonal environment, to add that extra dynamic was like adding fuel to a fire.
35:34Next thing you know, I get a call from Bob's girlfriend and everyone knew that Bob was cheating on her
35:45with Diane.
35:47And she said, I know that Bob is sleeping with Diane.
35:51And I said, well, let's put it this way.
35:54She dates a lot.
35:55And she targets celebrities.
35:59And she said, oh, like who?
36:01And I rattled off this list of celebrities, including several black men.
36:09And she said, oh my gosh, Bob has no idea that he has had sex with a woman who has
36:17had sex with black men.
36:19Bob has always said that black men are the most diseased people on earth.
36:28It was horrible.
36:29It was horrible.
36:31Was I surprised?
36:33No.
36:34He fit the profile.
36:36Rich, old, white, entitled, racist.
36:42When I heard what happened, I really did not want to believe that of Bob.
36:49I put Bob on a pedestal.
36:52I mean, he was like here.
36:53He was like the rock star.
36:55And for him to say this, I was angry.
36:58I was in disbelief.
37:00I was hurt.
37:02When you find out somebody you looked up to has a total different agenda than what you thought, what a
37:09big can of worms had just been opened.
37:15It was not a good look for Bob.
37:27Diane would confide in me that Bob did mention if she had ever been with any other person that was
37:35black, that he would not be happy and that he thought they might have had some kind of communicable disease
37:41or something.
37:44And sure enough, when Bob found out about Diane having slept with black men, he called her into his dressing
37:55room and they had the screaming fight of all time.
38:00He went off.
38:02The shit hit the fan.
38:03Oh, my God.
38:04The whole set was dead silent.
38:08Listening.
38:10And Diane comes out of Bob's dressing room and goes up the stairs and Bob's assistant is running after her
38:22saying, Diane, you've got to apologize to Bob.
38:25And Diane turns around at the top of the stairs.
38:28It's like the scene from Romeo and Juliet.
38:30And she's standing at the top of the stairs and the whole set, dead silent, is watching.
38:35And Diane says, I have sucked his too many times to start kissing his ass now.
38:44Woo!
38:46I'm like, what?
38:50It did not go over well with Barker.
38:54One of the producers standing next to me said, dang, who writes her stuff?
39:05Shortly thereafter, Diane was approached by Playboy magazine.
39:10We had already been forewarned that we were not to be in Playboy.
39:17Bob and Diane were not together at this time.
39:21Now, I don't know if it was her way of getting back at him, but she posed for Playboy.
39:27The photos were a little risque.
39:31That just did not go over well with Barker.
39:34And once again, this brought about an explosion.
39:41Bob arrived at the set, and we could hear the shouting.
39:45No, no, no, no.
39:46You're crazy.
39:47It's a family show, for Christ's sakes.
39:52Pretty much, that was the end of Diane Parkinson on The Price is Right.
39:57I want you folks to know that the lovely Diane is leaving The Price is Right to pursue other interests.
40:1018 years that Diane had been on the show, and she's gone.
40:16And Diane was not happy, and she was very bitter.
40:25She wanted to get back at him.
40:28We talked on the phone.
40:29She said, he was sexually harassing me and forcing me to do things to him in the dressing room when
40:33I didn't want to do it.
40:34And I'm going to get my attorney.
40:36I'm going to file a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.
40:41I was, I couldn't believe it.
40:49The quiz shows sex scandal that is rocking Hollywood.
40:52Parkinson's lawsuit will be filed within a week.
40:55She's claiming sexual misconduct, and he's labeling her a greedy opportunist.
41:02As God is my witness, I have never forced her to do one thing that she did not want to
41:09do.
41:10Once Diane filed that lawsuit, everything changed.
41:19That's when things got even worse.
41:22Barker would not be the kind of person you'd want to mess with.
41:26At all.
41:29If you weren't on Team Bob, look out.
41:32With Barker, it's not enough to just ruin your life.
41:37To fire you and deprive you of your livelihood.
41:42He wanted to destroy you.
41:46I looked at him, and I thought, you are scary.
41:49There's a snake inside there.
41:52Everybody was in trouble.
41:54Of course not.
41:55Oh, oh.
41:56Oh, oh.
41:56Oh, oh.
41:57Oh, oh.
41:58Oh, oh.
41:58Oh, oh, oh.
41:59Oh, oh, oh.
41:59Oh, oh.
42:00Oh, oh.
42:02Oh, oh.
42:04Oh, oh.
42:04Oh, oh, oh.
42:05Oh, oh, oh.
