A psychologist testifying in the Adele Sammarco sexual harassment case said Sammarco was paranoid, narcissistic and maybe not a good reporter. Time Warner (NY1's parent company) lawyers paid Dr. Paul Nassar $500 an hour to evaluate Sammarco, and he concluded she believed "all of her claims were justified and had nothing to do with her, but had to do with the biases and prejudices of others." Nasser also said, "She fantasized about being a great reporter" and suggested she is suing because she's disappointed about her career. Sammarco brought the suit against NY1, claiming she had been sexually harassed by her coworkers. However, numerous coworkers have testified that she called other people derogatory nicknames and enjoyed jokes made at her expense.
