Shane Stirling Fired For Getting Pregnant

Former "Price is Right" model Shane Stirling claims she was fired from the show for getting pregnant, and she specifically blames Bob Barker for forcing her out.

Shane Stirling claims she was "forced into an early pregnancy leave, was not allowed to return to work for almost a year after her child's birth, and was fired abruptly," after she announced that she was pregnant in December 2006.

Stirling has filed a lawsuit in LA County Superior Court on Friday.

In a lawsuit, Stirling claims Barker insisted that she wouldn't work while she was pregnant because it was "dangerous" and a "liability" ... an advised her to "go home and take care of your baby."

Stirling claims that if she had "been allowed to return to work sooner after having her baby, she could have become acquainted with the new people working on the game show and thereby would have had a better chance to retain her job."

She's now suing for more than $25,000.

The show, produced by FremantleMedia, is also being sued by another Barker's beauty, Brandi Cochran, who claims staffers treated her so bad when she became pregnant ... that she had a miscarriage.
