Guy Fieri
Who says the Twin Cities can't go Hollywood? According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Food Network has filed a $1.5 million countersuit against the former producer of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives," for setting such an "intolerable" tone that they had to replace him.
David Page of Page Television and Video Productions had been producing the Guy Fieri-hosted show out of an office in the Twin Cities. Page had sued the network in May claiming it had breached its contract.
This counterpunch claims Page's treatment toward staff was so bad, many had asked for changes in work environment. The suit claims Page sent out e-mails to staff laced with obscenities and insults.
The Hollywood Reporter says Page and his reps didn't immediately respond to comments.
