Default Sexual Misconduct Pool

You know the old "Dead Pool" game, where people bet on who will be the next person to die? Well, seeing as there is a crackdown on sexual misconduct as of late, who will be the next high-profile offender? Who you got?! Who's your money on?!

Here's my guesses:

Tim Allen [He has been to prison before, for drugs. He also starred in the show "Last Man Standing," which eschewed liberalism, which seems to be the flavor of the week. With his show going against the grain and his long career, I can see SOME woman alleging SOMETHING inappropriate against him]

Howard Stern [With his history of on-air obscenity, it wouldn't be a huge reach to see worse things in his personal life]

Not Howard. If you listen to him, he's kind of a pussy and would never have the guts to do that. Vince McMahon. He's gotten in trouble before, it's a matter of time.

Bob Barker. Actually, I don't think that's really a secret.

Been known for decades. He's paid off quite a few women.

Quote:
In 1994, former model Dian Parkinson filed a lawsuit against Barker alleging sexual harassment following a three-year affair while working on The Price Is Right. Parkinson, who alleged that she was extorted by threats of firing, later dropped her lawsuit, claiming the stress from the ordeal was damaging her health.

In 1995, model Holly Hallstrom left The Price Is Right and later filed suit against Barker for wrongful termination and malicious persecution claiming Barker had launched a media attack against her, allegedly stating that she was disruptive to the working atmosphere of the show. Barker dropped his case, but Hallstrom did not, finally ending in settlement in 2005.

Following their testimonies in Barker's failed lawsuit against Hallstrom, models Janice Pennington and Kathleen Bradley were fired, and later received out-of-court financial settlements. Director Paul Alter was removed from the show in 2000. Production assistants Sherrill Paris and Sharon Friem, who were also dismissed at the same time, each sued Barker for wrongful termination, as well as sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Both women ultimately received financial settlements.

In October 2007 Deborah Curling, a CBS employee assigned to The Price Is Right, filed a lawsuit against CBS, Bob Barker and The Price Is Right producers, claiming that she was forced to quit her job after testifying against Barker in a wrongful-termination lawsuit brought by a previous show producer. Curling claimed that she was demoted to an "intolerable work environment" backstage which caused her to leave the job.

Curling, who is black, also alleged that the show's producers, including Barker, created a hostile work environment in which black employees and contestants were discriminated against. A few months later, Barker was removed from the lawsuit, and in September 2009, the lawsuit was dismissed. Curling's attorney stated that he plans to appeal the dismissal of the lawsuit. In January 2012, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal.

That's a good one! Damn it, wish I had mentioned him! It would probably be an older, out-of-the-business female that would accuse him [like Sunny, Trish Stratus, Stacey Keibler, Sable, etc.] because anyone under his employ would get fired if they spoke out.
