New York, Aug 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Shane Stirling, who was the former model of “Price is Right” says that she was sacked when she got pregnant and also alleges that Bob Barker was directly responsible for that.
She said once the company was made aware of her pregnancy at the end of 2006, she was asked to go on leave even before she was due and kept at home for about a year after she gave birth. She was sacked after that. She has sued her former bosses to the tune of $25,000 as compensation.
Stirling said that Bob Barker made a huge effort to get her sacked according to the details of her lawsuit filed on Friday at the Superior Court in L.A. County. The game show host used to get on well with Stirling until he got to know about her pregnancy.
She was kept away from her duties because Barker said it wasn’t in the best interest of her or the company to actively do her duties.
She made a return in 2008 after Barker quit the company but got fired later, as the show wasn’t doing well. The model alleges that if she “been allowed to return to work sooner after having her baby, she could have become acquainted with the new people working on the game show and thereby would have had a better chance to retain her job.”
