"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.

32. While I love the work the old fart does on behalf of animals, lobbying for people to have their pets spayed and neutured, I don't entirely trust any man who never has a hair out of place...hmmm just how much hairspray does that take anyway? I was just wondering.

33. If every woman sued her employers by being sexually harassed by a co-worker, this nation would be bankrupt!! Roll your eyes, tell Bob “no, you old pervert”, and get over it!! We can all tell he is a dirty old man, so she should have known that going into the job!!

34. Hey Sean, you seem to know an awful lot about Bob for someone who isn't a "stay at home loser". You don't have to stay at home and watch tv to know what is going on in the world. I just retired from working 25 years at the same highly paid job so don't include me as one of the charities Bob gives to. Maybe you are one of the charities, hmmm? What is your problem? Everyone on here can speak their own opinion and they don't have to agree with you .so you are just showing your ignorance.

43. Bob Barker, vindictive? Why, that simply cannot be! I guess everyone that has sued him over the years was just imagining the pervy and retaliatory workplace environment that he fostered.

Don't let his "spay and neuter your pets" song and dance fool you. Bob Barker is a pampered, mean-spirited and petty tyrant.

He is also a huge pervert. Trust.
