"Price" is Wrong, Says One Former Employee

Breaking NewsNo one testifies against Bob Barker and gets away with it ... at least that's what one former "Price is Right" employee says in a new lawsuit!

In a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Deborah Curling says she worked for "Price" for 20 years, in what she called a "pleasant working environment." She says all that changed when she testified against Barker in a harassment suit that was brought against the game show legend, and that producers on the show "started harassing her in an attempt to force her to quit her job."

Because of this alleged treatment, Curling says she "has suffered and continued to suffer severe emotional and physical distress." In addition, Curling says "every morning she wakes up in physical pain due to what stress did to her body." Ouch! No Plinko for you!

Curling is seeking compensatory and punitive damages from Barker, CBS, and FremantleMedia, "Price's" production company.

CBS declined comment, while calls to the production company were not immediately returned.

23. I'm from the school where there is smoke there is fire. Too many different women have made complaints on him so he has to be doing something. One woman I would think maybe not but there have been at least 4 I think. He has money and power which they don't have and that usually gets people out of trouble in Los Angeles. And like most arrogant people in Hollywood (OJ, Phil Spector, etc), if they keep getting away with things they keep pushing their luck. If he is doing all these things, it is time for him to be accountable. I could be wrong but he is looking more and more creepy to me

28. This is why Bob stepped down when he could have continued for a few more years - the network and producers were aware that there were a few more lawsuits in the pipeline and decided he was a liability.

I'm sorry folks...I grew up with the man on TV too, but where there's this much smoke, you can pretty well bet there's fire somewhere in the vicinity.

Wake up and smell the litter box.... After his wife died, he had nothing to fall back on but his ego and it got out of hand. I feel badly for him, but worse for those he's stepped on in recent years......
