'Price Is Right' Model Explains How Late Host Bob Barker Ruined Her Life: 'I Hate That Man'

Holly Hallstrom recalls how the late game show host’s behavior led her to go broke and live out of her car.
A former “The Price is Right’’ model is sharing why she still despises the show’s late host, Bob Barker.
Holly Hallstrom, who was one of the long-running game show’s “Barker’s Beauties” for 18 years, was fired in 1995. The show told her she was axed because of her weight, but according to a teaser clip from the new E! docuseries “Dirty Rotten Scandals,” Hallstrom says she was canned for way more nefarious reasons.
“I hate that man,” Hallstrom can be heard saying while choking back tears at the end of the clip.
The E! docuseries digs into Barker’s affair with another one of the show’s models, Dian Parkinson. After Barker broke up with Parkinson, she sued him for sexual harassment. Kathleen Bradley, another former model from the show, recalled in the doc that Parkinson told her that Barker had forced Parkinson “to do things to him in the dressing room, where I didn’t want to do it,” according to a summary of docuseries by People.
Hallstrom said in “Dirty Rotten Scandals” that she believes the real reason she was kicked off the show was because she refused to defend Barker in Parkinson’s case.
