“Price Is Right ”Producer Launches Shocking Attack Against Bob Barker’s Accusers

The drama surrounding The Price Is Right just exploded again — and this time, it’s coming from inside the house.

A longtime producer who spent decades behind the scenes is now going scorched-earth on those accusing the late TV icon Bob Barker, calling out what he claims are exaggerated stories and personal vendettas reignited by a controversial new docuseries.

Roger Dobkowitz, who worked on the legendary game show from the 1970s through 2008, is fiercely defending Barker after E!’s Dirty Rotten Scandals: The Price Is Right pulled back the curtain on allegations of discrimination and sexual misconduct during the show’s heyday.

And he’s not holding back.

In a lengthy social media post, Dobkowitz blasted the series as a “hit piece,” accusing it of dredging up decades-old claims purely for attention — and targeting a man who can no longer defend himself.

“This so-called expose should disappear into the TV trash bin,” he wrote, adding that some individuals are willing to “exaggerate and create falsehoods” to push what he described as a “hateful vendetta.”

The producer took particular aim at the timing of the accusations, noting that Barker — who hosted the beloved show from 1972 to 2007 and died in 2023 — isn’t here to respond.

He didn’t stop there.

Dobkowitz questioned why some accusers continue speaking out decades after legal battles were settled, suggesting that revisiting the claims signals deeper issues.

“When someone feels the need to bring it up for another 30 years,” he wrote, “it may say something about their ability to reason maturely.”

The explosive comments have only added fuel to an already heated conversation sparked by the docuseries, which features former staffers and models recounting troubling behind-the-scenes experiences dating back to the late 1970s.

But Dobkowitz paints a very different picture.

According to him, the set of The Price Is Right was anything but toxic. He described it as a “happy place” where staff rarely left and models frequently returned year after year.

“The working environment was the envy of other shows,” he insisted, claiming that most complaints came from a “small handful” of disgruntled employees who felt overlooked for raises or promotions.

After 36 years on the job, Dobkowitz says he witnessed it all — and now he’s hinting at revealing even more.

He teased the possibility of writing a tell-all book, promising it would “clear up misconceptions” and push back against what he calls “wrongful accusations.”

He’s not alone in defending Barker’s legacy.

The late host’s longtime representative, Roger Neal, also pushed back against the documentary’s claims, emphasizing Barker’s enduring popularity and cultural impact.

“He was beloved then and still is,” Neal said, calling Barker “the greatest MC in TV history.”

Still, with the docuseries reigniting old wounds and insiders now publicly clashing, the legacy of one of America’s most iconic game shows is once again under intense scrutiny — and the battle over Bob Barker’s reputation is far from over.
