Robert De Niro is having a bad personal moment after testifying in the trial in which he faces his former assistant, who made serious accusations against him.
Robert De Niro has one of the most successful careers in Hollywood and it could be said that he is one of the greatest actors in the industry. His great career led him to put himself in the shoes of countless characters from all kinds of genres and do it in an unmatched way.
With more than 60 years of experience, several recognitions and an extensive list of successes, the actor has gone through some ups and downs in his personal life and today he finds himself in one of them again. On Tuesday he had to go to a New York court to testify following a complaint made by his former assistant.
Graham Chase Robinson accused Robert De Niro of “gender discrimination” in 2021 and called him abusive. For these reasons, he sued his company, Canal Productions, for millions of dollars.
Robinson's lawyer took her testimony and on the stand asked her if she ever insulted his client during the eleven years she worked for him, something she admitted: "Yeah, okay, I reprimanded her." The actor revealed that he called her “petulant,” “insolent,” and a “spoiled brat” after she didn't wake him up in time for an important meeting.
This legal battle between Robert De Niro and his former assistant began in 2019 when the woman resigned from the position of vice president of Production and Finance of the actor's company and the actor filed a $6 million lawsuit against her accusing her of using credit cards. company credit for personal use, steal airline miles, and watch Netflix during work hours.
Robinson decided to file a countersuit for $12 million, asserting that the accusations against him are false and designed to destroy his reputation.
