Roger Dobkowitz, the executive produce for The Price is Right, is breaking his silence on sexual harassment and racism allegations against Bob Barker.
In the E! documentary series, Dirty Rotten Scandals, several of "Barker's Beauties" alleged multiple instances of racism, sexual harassment, and mistreatment while working on the show. In a Sunday, March 29 post to his Facebook page, Dobkowtiz called the series an "obvious hit piece."
"The 'documentary' should just quietly disappear into the bottom of a TV equivalent of a waste basket along with all the other forgotten so-called 'exposes,'" he wrote. "However, since this program doesn't seem to have received much traction anyway (probably since the purported incident took place 30 years ago on a daytime game show and, consequently, fewer people care or remember it ), I feel it is OK for me to reveal my thoughts and, most importantly, defend the dignity and integrity of our great show."
Dobkowtiz worked on The Price is Right for 36 years in which Barker served as host from 1972-2007.
He continued in the Facebook post, "This so-called “expose” makes me realize that there are some people in this world who will happily exaggerate and create falsehoods in order to justify a personal hateful vendetta against a person in order to draw attention to themselves. Making the situation worse is the fact that the accused is deceased, and therefore, making it impossible for the accused to defend himself. The adjective 'brave' should never be used in reference to a person attacking a dead person."
He also called into question why the accusations were being brought against Barker more than three decades after the fact.
When someone feels the compulsion to constantly bring it up for another 30 years," Dobkowitz wrote, "is a sign that something could be wrong with their capacity to reason maturely."
Dobkowitz concluded the post teasing a possible memoir detailing his experience as an executive producer on the show and working with Barker.
"Someday, when I write my book, (if anyone still cares by then), my 36 years of observations with Bob, the models, and the staff will clear up lots of misconceptions and dismiss many wrongful accusations," he said. "The show was a happy place…our working environment was the envy of other shows. Staff rarely quit...the dozens of women who were in our repertoire of models came back year after year, happy to be on our show."
