A former "The Price is Right" model has filed a lawsuit against the show for allegedly firing her when she was pregnant. Shane Stirling claims former host Bob Barker forced her out.
According to the lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, and obtained by TMZ, Stirling claims she was forced into an early emergency leave after she announced she was pregnant in December 2006. She was not allowed to return to work for almost a year after her child's birth.
She was also fired abruptly after.
The model also claims Barker "had always been very kind and generous" to her, that is until he learned of her pregnancy.
