branded allegations from his former personal assistant that he was an abusive boss as "all nonsense" as he appeared in a New York City court on Monday.
She says she was tasked with everything from decorating the Christmas tree to taking him to the hospital when he fell down stairs. De Niro, 80, who was the first witness in a trial resulting from the lawsuits, agreed that he had at one point listed Ms Robinson as his emergency contact and had relied on her to help with greeting cards for his children.But when a lawyer for his former PA asked him if he considered her a conscientious employee, he scoffed.De Niro twice raised his voice almost to a shout during his testimony.
He insisted he treated Ms Robinson well, even after he bought a five-bedroom Manhattan townhouse and let her oversee some of the preparations so he could move there with his girlfriend, Ms Chen. “She felt there was something there and she may have been right,” De Niro said in defence of his girlfriend's suspicions.
Mr Macurdy said the trouble between them arose when Ms Chen became jealous that De Niro relied on Ms Robinson for so many tasks and that they had strong communication.“None,” he said. “There was never anything romantic between the two of them.”
