With 'Jeopardy!' executive producer Mike Richards in the lead to replace the game show's late host Alex Trebek, lawsuits filed during his 'Price Is Right' years resurface.
Finally, Lanisha Cole sued in 2011, alleging wrongful constructive termination, retaliation, sexual harassment and more. Cole said in herthat in 2009, six years into her stint on the show, Richards began treating her differently than the other models and refused to speak with her directly, causing her “great uncertainty” about her performance. She linked this change to Richards starting a personal relationship with fellow “Price” model Amber Lancaster in early 2009, according to the lawsuit.
Cole also alleged that Sandler barged into a dressing room in September 2010 while she was clad only in a thong and berated her for not wearing a microphone on set — something she said was not unusual among the show’s models due to costume-change logistics. She was told soon after that she couldn’t work for a full week because she had a family conflict one day that week, the lawsuit said, with producers citing policies that hadn’t existed previously. The model felt she had no choice but to quit, the filing said.AdvertisementIn her first interview since her husband Alex Trebek died last year, Jean Trebek opens up on ‘Today’ about grief and the ‘Jeopardy!’ host’s legacy.
