They picked a white man who's been previously sued for gender discrimination, and also Mayim Bialik
reported that Richards was one of the defendants named in lawsuits brought by former employees, claiming
that he and other producers discriminated against some of the models who worked on the show. One woman, in particular, Brandi Cochran, claimed she had delayed getting pregnant because “she’d witnessed producers harassing two fellow models who had become pregnant while making the show and firing another.”Cochran’s suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against “Price” producer FremantleMedia, Richards and others on the show went to trial, where a jury awarded her damages of $8 million.
Court filings from the Cochran case paint Richards as callous about her pregnancy to the point of expressing dismay after learning that she was expecting twins. “Price” producers opted not to rehire Cochran in early 2010 after she had been on leave since January 2009. Richards also allegedly pushed for the models to wear shorter skirts and appear in bikinis more frequently.“These were allegations made in employment disputes against the show. I want you all to know that the way in which my comments and actions have been characterized in these complaints does not reflect the reality of who I am or how we worked together on ‘The Price Is Right,’ ” Richards wrote. “I know firsthand how special it is to be a parent.
