“Inside Edition” anchor Deborah Norville has been called to testify in a defamation case in a Suffolk County court. Salvatore Nigita, a technical director on the show for 15 years, claims fill-in anchor Diane McInerney threw a hissyfit one day during her pregnancy over the lighting. “When Nigita tried to explain to McInerney how he was going to remedy the situation, he says she got p – – – ed off over having to engage a techie in a hallway conversation and requested he be banned from the studio,” says Nigita’s lawyer, David Gordon. “At the end of the season he was fired. She says when she complained, he cursed her out and poked her in the forehead.” Now Gordon has subpoenaed Norville to testify to Nigita’s professionalism. CBS is trying to quash the subpoena. “CBS is trying to turn the victim into the perp,” Gordon said. “Inside Edition” had no comment.
