Barker is best known as the host of The Price Is Right , a title he held for 35 years. However, his tenure as host was not without scandal. The appliance went crashing as it hit the stage floor, shattering into a million pieces as both Kathleen and Holly were struck in several parts of their bodies as they lay backstage in severe pain. The studio audience didn't witness the scary mishap and host Bob Barker was not aware of the incident until after the show taping when he was informed by one of the producers.
An ambulance then arrived and both ladies were rushed to the hospital. Hallstrom and Bradley suffered severe bruising and a few lacerations and were too injured to return to work on the next day of taping. Janice Pennington was not present during that horrifying ordeal as she took that particular week off, leaving Dian Parkinson as the only regular model in attendance for the next several tapings.
With Janice off for that week and while Holly and Kathleen were at home recovering from their injuries, substitute model Kyle Aletter was called in again and helped Dian hold down the fort. The following week and a half later, Hallstrom and Bradley and Pennington returned to work but were still badly bruised in numerous places on their bodies.
The accident justified a lawsuit against CBS for negligence just as happened to Janice back in and Kyle subbed for her but instead CBS Television City and The Price is Right were extremely apologetic and voluntarily offered Holly and Kathleen small monetary compensations for their pain and suffering which both ladies willingly accepted. Afterwards in a radio interview, Holly stated that the accident was quite a scare and she and Kathleen were lucky to be alive and also believed that the scary stage was messy and jinxed.
In late October , everything was shattered around Holly as she was abruptly dismissed from The Price is Right by Bob Barker himself, for according to Barker, "gaining weight" her final appearance aired on the 27th.
Shortly after her abrupt firing, Hallstrom recalled in an interview where she would be placed behind various things to hide her "weight gain". Holly also stated that Bob ordered her to make appearances of various talk shows and do radio interviews to say that Parkinson was lying and as well as being instructed to recall certain events differently than she had remembered them.
Holly refused to get involved, and did not want to perjure herself and risk being in contempt of court , so she was fired under the guise of weight gain and corporate cutbacks as the number of models downsized from four to three. After her abrupt termination from the series, host Bob Barker became bombarded with a tremendous and overwhelming amount of angry mail sent by former fans of the show and as a response to this, Barker fought back as he not only launched a media attack on Hallstrom but also filed suit against her for libel and slander Barker vs.
Hallstrom , claiming that she was lying but 48 hours before the trial was supposed to began, Barker dropped the suit and the court declared Hallstrom the prevailing party and he was ordered to pay Holly's legal fees. But the legal wars didn't stop there, wanting revenge, Holly fired back as she countersued Barker for age, weight and medical discrimination, wrongful termination and malicious prosecution Hallstrom vs.
Barker which ultimately led to a decade-long battle in the courts and during that time period, Holly spent all of her savings and resources, sold her house and lived out in her car and despite all of this, giving up was NOT an option as she even reportedly said in an interview during that time period "I refused to give up and let that evil old bastard win.

In addition to Pennington's settlement, she was prohibited from speaking publicly against Barker and although she has not spoken publicly regarding Barker or her departure from The Price is Right.
Kathleen's settlement on the other hand, did not contain a hush clause as she referred to her termination as "abrupt" and "unexpected" and as an event she was not prepared for.
