Let's also not forget what touched off the lawsuits-and that was Dian Parkinson's failed blackmail attempt against Bob which led Bob to admit the relationship he had with Dian before the media. So I guess if Holly's defense was supporting Dian I guess this means Holly supports blackmail too?!
Don't forget to write about these issues too Mr. Mann!!

I'm sorry but Holly Hallstrom is lying like a sleeping dog!! To start Hallstrom verbally accepted early retirement-she was NOT fired-particularly by Bob who does not have the power to do so.
Secondly, Holly's defense at the time on why she reneged on her retirement offer was that SHE believes that it was due to weight gain in regards to medication she was taking-it also certainly WAS NOT about supporting Dian. Not once in her first lawsuit does she ever mention that her job loss was due to supporting Dian,all one has to do is dig out the old "Hard Copy" episode from 1995 to hear Holly's whining sob story about losing her job due to weight gain to KNOW that she's lying!!
Barker and the company's defense at that time and is still maintained today is that Holly was let go due to economic downsizing. Bob also further stated at the time that if weight gain was the issue of her dismissal, Holly would have been let go long ago. For Holly to reverse her reasons and place that on Bob is truly dispicable but not surprising.
Furthermore, it was only after Holly filed an appeal concerning the earlier ruling(a day after Bob dropped his lawsuit) that the defense of her supporting Dian became an issue that was because the weight gain issue was ruled invalid and unproven on HER part!!
