Actor Robert De Niro arrives to court in New York, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023. De Niro continues his testimony in a $12 million lawsuit accusing him of being a bad boss. The 80-year-old actor is being sued by a former assistant, Graham Chase Robinson. De Niro is also suing Robinson, accusing her of charging personal expenses to his company.
She said she suffers from anxiety and depression and hasn't worked in four years despite applying for 638 jobs. Robinson said the back-scratching had occurred several times over the years until she offered a mild protest once, suggesting to De Niro that there was a device he could use instead.She described the comment as “creepy” and “disgusting.”De Niro scoffed at the back-scratching claim and other assertions, saying he always treated Robinson with respect and never with “disrespect or lewdness.”shouting: “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!” He quickly apologized for the outburst.
Her testimony was undercut on cross-examination when a lawyer for De Niro confronted her with the fact that the actor's highest-paid employee was a woman and that a man who worked for one of De Niro's companies, Canal Productions, just like Robinson, was paid less than a third of the $300,000 salary she secured before she quit.
