Robert De Niro lashes out at former assistant who sued him, shouting: 'Shame on you!'

What a dead-eyed Lamia.

Another gold-digging cunt.

She looks like a man!

He should have just hired a man. Less problems.

[quote]Robinson, 41, seeks $12 million in damages for emotional distress and reputational harm that she claims has left her jobless and unable to recover from the trauma of working for De Niro. She was making $300,000 annually when she quit

Grifter's gonna grift.

[quote] —3-4 years out of work times 300 grand is not 12 million chickypoo

The other 10 million is because he yelled at me and hurt my feeewings!

Damn $300k per year?!?

[quote]he angrily looked toward Robinson and shouted: “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!”

This is so funny. It's like when you were a kid, you knew you were in BIG trouble if your parents called you by your full name.

Well, we know one thing- He wasn't fucking her.

She does look like a man - are we sure she’s not?

That’s an incredibly rough 41.

She even has a man’s name.

It's like Gwennie Paltrow 2.0. Jury will side with Bob. He's making them laugh.

Jury will side with Bob because the prosecution has a moron for a client.

Okay are we on the same page here? 300K for an assistant and she's suing because he called her a bitch?

She also was the only signing authority for one of this businesses and approved all kinds of personal perks for herself.

“After all I’ve done for you!!!!”

That has to be a man. It can’t possibly be a bio woman.

De Niro is a terrible person and needs to pay.

I’m ready to #Cancel him.

I feel it’s been slow lately.

“He called me an assistant! I’m entitled to 12 million dollars in damages.”

Easy high paying job with tons of perks and she cunts it up. Fuck her. I hope she never works again and lives in a tent outside a Taco Bell. Tried to play the woman card and it back fired.

[quote]She does look like a man - are we sure she’s not?

I think she is a man.

R20 sounds like a real cunt.

DeNiro is no saint and it looks like the lawyers are getting him to admit to a lot of the stuff he previously denied.

[quote] I’m ready to #Cancel him.

[quote] —He’s OVER!

Let's see.

He's 80 years old.

He makes millions of dollars per year.

Younger women still throw themselves at him.

He's STILL an A-list actor, who has never really had a dry spell when it comes to work.

He is one of the most famous people in the world, and beloved by millions.

Oh, and did I mention that he's 80 years old?

Guess what, R18?

I can ASSURE YOU that he gives zero fucks about what you think, or really what most people think of him.

He's 80 years old. And given what he has accomplished in life, and what he has achieved, I'd say that for Robert DeNiro, whatever life he has left is just GRAVY. All icing on the cake.

Now let's talk about YOUR accomplishments, R18.

Yes, the woman in question is a man.

Robert De is channelling Marlene.

Is r23 Cathy Moriarty?

I guess this person has never held a job before. There isn't one thing there that deserves a cent.

Was this woman the same person that DeNiro accused of watching “Friends” on his Netflix account for 8 hours per day while at work?

DeNiro's an asshole. While filming a movie in my town, a small group of people were INSIDE an office, taking photographs of the activity. DeNiro sent his assistant in asking they not take photos of him or his car which happened to be parked directly in front of the building as it was disturbing his concentration.

Do you have any idea how much shit I'd eat from my employer if I was being paid $300k/year? The sky is the fucking limit!

There's a woman in there. She's just plain.

Woof.

She's too butch-looking even for me.

[quote] Do you have any idea how much shit I'd eat from my employer if I was being paid $300k/year? The sky is the fucking limit!

Exactly!

That is one very ungrateful and entitled cunt.

That's WHY those jobs pay so much because working for an entitled asshole is unpleasant. They have to make it worth your while.

[quote] he gives zero fucks

Millennials: this is never funny or cute.

[quote] That's WHY those jobs pay so much because working for an entitled asshole is unpleasant.

I know people who work for under $50,000 a year, whose jobs are 100x more unpleasant than hers.

So please shut the fuck up, you ignorant cunt R34.

When one of the accusations is that he peed while talking with her on the phone tells you everything about the merits of this case.

[quote] When one of the accusations is that he peed while talking with her on the phone tells you everything about the merits of this case.

And that she must be a female, because only a female would think that this is a legitimate reason to sue someone.

$300k to get abused.

How long is the line going to be for his next assistant? Shit, if I lived in New York, I'd apply.

[quote] How long is the line going to be for his next assistant? Shit, if I lived in New York, I'd apply.

He should hire a male assistant.

Word to the wise: don't ever hire a female assistant, unless you want a total nightmare of endless legal troubles.

They'll always find a way to screw you over.

R29, if DeNiro was working on a scene, I see nothing wrong with asking people not to take photos.

That wife of his wastes his money on shit, forcing him into making crap movies that pay for his name. Probably the stress of being married to her and the subsequent divorce process must’ve taken its toll on him. Glad to see him back with his buddy Scorcese.

I can't believe the guy had a baby at 80. Can you imagine getting to know your father through the media, old news stories, or his body of work?

At $300k, was she also his financial manager?

[quote]Was this woman the same person that DeNiro accused of watching “Friends” on his Netflix account for 8 hours per day while at work?

Yes.

so he got angry all of two times? realistically sounds like a pretty good boss.

I wish her well!

R6, I agree.

When I read that “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!” bit, all I could think of was ..."DANGER WILL ROBINSON".

Now I'm wondering if he practiced that line before the court appearance.

And his looking over at the judge to see how his performance was going over, but since It's a jury trial, perhaps he's playing to the jury.

what kind of name is Chase?

What R25 said. This will go down as his greatest performance!

Scorsese will do the movie version and cast Leo.

[quote]what kind of name is Chase?

A dog's name.

Deniro is a passive aggressive dick.

Graham also said RDN also talked Italian to her/him.

^^^^^^^

Feminazi.

Tiffany Chen speaks out.

Graham was “obsessive, psychotic, and dangerous.”

“She was very strange from the beginning and always uncomfortable to be around," Chen said, later describing her as “mean-spirited and bitchy.” “She was a hot mess. Her schedule was off all the time.

“This whole situation has become very Single White Female

R53 that passive aggressive dick paid 300K to a fucking assistant.

[quote]RDN also talked Italian..

musical interlude 🇮🇹 for r54

There’s not enough money in the world for me to be a personal system to him. Arrogant asshole. No thanks.

Pacino will play De Niro in the highly emotional LT movie based on this case.

Wasn't DeNiro the *least* Italian of all the actors working on the Godfather films?

Brando wasn't Italian at all and DeNiro is about a quarter Italian, r61.

Caan's parents were German Jews.

I like money, I like being subservient to men, I know how to leave my ego at the door and I'm willing to sign a contract saying I will never sue you. Where can I apply for this $300k/year personal assistant position, Sir De Niro? And may I interest you a warm hand towel, Sir?

I'm with you exactly, R64.

I would do whatever it takes to keep a $300,000 per year job, working for a major celebrity.

Easiest gig in the world, especially compared to what I do now (for much less money).

This cunt was so entitled, that she actually had the nerve to watch Netflix during her working hours, using HIS account!!!

And then turned around and sued him for calling her out on it.

THAT is what women do.

That clip reminds me of how much I dislike Al Pacino.

[quote] Easy high paying job

Not easy, sorry. I know several people who’ve done it and it’s very stressful. They worked for celebrities you’d immediately recognize and the celebs were famous for a long, long time. The longer a celebrity has been famous, the worse it is because they haven’t done a damn thing for themselves for years. They’ve literally forgotten how to take care of themselves, how to manage travel, appointments, stocking their house in Vail, in LA, in NY, in London. They got to have XYZ bottled water everywhere, not ABC water!!! God you’re so incompetent!

You have to know: This is who I hate. This is who I love. This is who I like in very small doses. I’m always available for Mr X, but I’m never available to Mr Y.

Don’t forget Big Star and wife are staying on my yacht this weekend. I want matching bathrobes with their names stitched into them.

Here are all the charities I buy tickets for. Here are the charities I don’t ever contribute to, Do whatever you like with the tickets to the annual gala.

These are art galleries owned by my friends. I will go to an opening. No other art galleries.

They would get phone calls at 3 am. “I just remembered something. I need MNO by tomorrow afternoon. Oh and you must pick up prescriptions for me at these 3 pharmacies. Have you reached out to my agency about PQR? Do it……”

And then, “I’m so lonely….I don’t think my wife loves me anymore. Nobody loves me! I’m all by myself! Why am I depressed and all by myself at 3 am? It’s not fair! I might as well kill myself!”

The celebs are always traveling, always needing plans made for them. Always requiring this that and the other thing. You’re never “off,” you are always on-call. And you better have good drug connections, both legal (willing doctors) and illegal.

It’s not something you can do for 20 years unless you have no life.

You also need to sort their sex lives. “This is my wife. This is my Number One girlfriend. These are some girls I know in different cities and their phone numbers. I’m in London next week, call Number 3 on the list and try to get her. If not, one of the others will do.”

And there’s pet care. Omg, you have no idea. Some celebs completely ignore their pets, Some are almost literally married to their pets. One very famous female celeb had one child who died of a drug OD. She channeled all of her life energy to her dog. The PA spent 90% of the time listening to and following instructions about the dog. He needs a bath, he should see the vet, he’s walking funny, He needs a new diet, I don’t like this one. Make sure the food is fresh and lightly sautéed. What did his last bowel movement look like? Was it large enough? But not too large? Light or dark?

It's DL, R68, you can tell us who this dog-doo-obsessed celebrity is.

What's the big deal about using the terlet when on the phone? I do that all the time when my sister calls--she tends to go on and on for hours at a time. I can't hold it for that long.

Sorry hon, if I were on the jury for that one I'd side with DeNiro.

She insulted me a lil’ bit.

[quote]She even has a man’s name.

She has a dog's name.

[quote]Not easy, sorry. I know several people who’ve done it and it’s very stressful.

And? She's clearing more than some doctors do to be a fucking secretary.

She should count her blessings.

Graham Chase testifies!

She found it “creepy” when the actor insisted she scratch his back

became emotional several times as she claimed that the trauma she endured before she quit working for De Niro in 2019 after 11 years has left her jobless and depressed.

“I was having an emotional and mental breakdown. I wasn’t eating. I wasn’t sleeping. Couldn’t run. I was overwhelmed,” she told jurors in Manhattan federal court. “I felt like I hit rock bottom.”

She said she suffers from anxiety and depression and hasn't worked in four years despite applying for 638 jobs.

“I don't have a social life,” she said. “I’m so humiliated and embarrassed and feel so judged. I feel so damaged in a way. ... I lost my life. Lost my career. Lost my financial independence. I lost everything.”

[quote] She ... hasn't worked in four years despite applying for 638 jobs.

[quote] “I don't have a social life,” she said. “I’m so humiliated and embarrassed and feel so judged. I feel so damaged in a way. ... I lost my life. Lost my career. Lost my financial independence. I lost everything.”

Deservedly so.

Fuck this ungrateful bitch.

She had a $300,000 a year job, abused her privileges, and took it for granted.

Then when she lost it, she blamed it on the person who gave her everything.

And now she's suing him for millions.

How fucked up and selfish and narcissistic and downright CLUELESS is she, that she thinks she's in the right?

Robinson said part of her duties that required her to be available around the clock included helping De Niro navigate a complicated love life that at one point involved a wife, an ex-girlfriend and a new girlfriend that he didn't want the world to yet know about.

I'll give her this. If it's true.

How hard could her job as PA have been considering she was bingeing Friends on DeNiro's account while supposedly working?

If she had shown actually abusive behavior, okay. But her claims are ludicrous. He called her a bitch and a brat once each in the 11 years she worked for him? GTFOH.

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.

“I like the way that you do it,” she said De Niro told her.

She described the comment as “creepy” and “disgusting.”

During testimony earlier in the week, De Niro scoffed at the back-scratching claim and other assertions, saying he always treated Robinson with respect and never with “disrespect or lewdness.”

He also claimed he never yelled at her just before he did in court, shouting: “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!” He quickly apologized for the outburst.

[quote] He also claimed he never yelled at her just before he did in court, shouting: “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!” He quickly apologized for the outburst.

And for that, she deserves millions of dollars in compensation?

HA! Oh, the humanity!

Fuck off, moron.

R80 is Bobby D.

[quote] he angrily looked toward Robinson and shouted: “Shame on you, Chase Robinson!”

Anna Nicole Smith took the stand, began crying, and took out some Kleenex.

Attorney Rusty Hardin accused Anna of having taken some "new acting classes."

Anna called him by his first name and said, "Screw you, Rusty!"

Robinson also claimed De Niro called her a “bitch” multiple times and would berate her often during her employment with him. In one such instance, a furious De Niro allegedly cursed her out after being unable to find Christmas presents at their workplace in 2017.

“He was cursing left and right. I was trying to sort it but he just said I was being a bitch,” Robinson testified. “I was complaining about him berating me and said please don’t curse at me.”

She said it was “very difficult to have him call me that” and “it was very demeaning [and] incredibly hurtful to hear that from your boss.”

[quote] “He was cursing left and right. I was trying to sort it but he just said I was being a bitch,” Robinson testified. “I was complaining about him berating me and said please don’t curse at me.”

And that's worth $12,000,000?

DeNiro is right.

She's a fucking dumb bitch.

Is it possible they had a physical relationship at some point? I know she is not his type but straight men will go after anything if they are bored and horny. Or maybe she felt they were platonically close but when he got married the dynamic changed? I am not sure why she is so bitter - I've endured worse for 30K to 40K a year back in the day.

Robert DeNiro is NOT an asshole. Just because of one story posted above by some 'friend' - doesn't make it true.

This woman is garbage. And - may I add - what the hell kind of personal assistant makes $300k a year and bitches about it?

I wonder what Chase Robinson did before she started working for DeNiro and his company. I'm surprised the DM or National Enquirer hasn't researched this.

De Niro's girlfriend Tiffany Chen butted heads with Robinson over a townhouse redecoration and other domestic matters. Chen said she believed Robinson was romantically interested in De Niro and "wanted to be the lady of the house."

"She's crazy," Chen said, according to the Associated Press.

Robinson, 41, denied on the stand having any interest in pursuing an intimate relationship with the actor, now 80.

This seems like one of those things a celebrity would settle out of court. How messy

R89 - it takes two sides to settle. And she's asking for $12 million, remember. That's not a small amount.

Also - why settle? It just opens you up to other suits by other employees.

No, it's better this way R89.

Then he won't have to pay her one single penny when the trial is over.

Because he knows it's bullshit.

I'm glad celebrities are going to court to defend themselves, rather than give in to gold-digging extortionist cunts like this woman.

De Niro: It is like she implies that she is out in front of the building scrubbing the floors on her knees, washing it, and making sure that – this is nonsense. Come on."

[quote]R77 How hard could her job as PA have been considering she was bingeing Friends on DeNiro's account while supposedly working?

A lot of people do like to have background noise when working. Who knows why it was on?

She began as a lowly executive assistant, but over the next 11 years, she continued to receive raises and title promotions at the tiny company, eventually rising to vice president of finance and film production.

DeNiro reminded her, however, that titles would mean little if she hoped to advance her career elsewhere.

"Chase, titles don't matter," she recalled him saying. "It's what I say about you that does [matter]."

R94 - and that is 100% true.

[quote]Is it possible they had a physical relationship at some point?

How does your mind work? Seriously. You really think this woman is suing him and is going to leave that out?

Common sense should tell you that's the first damned thing she'd bring up because she could say it was sexual harassment.

[quote]Is it possible they had a physical relationship at some point?

I believe Mr. De Niro is romantically linked almost exclusively to black women… so it’s unlikely Ms.Robinson was his lover.

R63 don’t forget the constant threats to fire you if you buy even a slightly wrong shade of frosted brown eyeliner.

“ I wanted METALLIC frost! God this is so fucking ANNOYING. I’m not mad, I just wish you’d get it right now you have to go back. Fuck! Now I’m all stressed out! Can you call the masseuse on the way out. My neck is all locked up now. And pick up a smoothie on the way back. And Coconut milk this time. And hurry I need that liner.”

Then the star will call twice to ask about the trainer and massage. Then will yell at assistant for getting coconut milk insisting they said cashew. “I NEED you to LISTEN to DETAILS. I may have to make a change if this goes on.”

Note that the star will be high this whole time and will perform variations of this oeuvre about 100000 times a day. Still worth $300K a year?

R97 his current wife is Asian.

R98, try working at your local McDonalds and see how you're treated and spoken to daily for $12 an hour. If you're really brave work the drive through window.

[quote]r99 his current wife is Asian.

Who’s that?

Grace Hightower is an African American from Mississippi.

No De Niro and Hightower divorced in 2018.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care. They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

Correct, R102.

His current wife is Tiffany Chen, but she looks part black. Not sure, though.

Also, this bitch never smiles. And she has a build like a man.

It's funny that DeNiro can have any beauty he wants, but he went for this lady.

Ugh.

Seriously, Tiffany Chen is not attractive.

I'm shocked that he's with her.

"At one point, he said that if I left him without giving him what he thought was two-year notice, that he would give me a bad recommendation."

2 years notice? I thought it was 2 weeks.

^ They look like a really happy couple! Ay-Yi-Yiii!

And look at what she wore to DeNiro's 80th birthday party.

I mean, REALLY???

This is one of the biggest stars in the world, and as his wife, she looks like absolute crap.

De Niro and Hightower are still married (though separated.)

Chen is the sidepiece.

That is probably an $800 sweatpants and hoodie ensemble R108. Who are you to judge? She looks fabulous!

Maybe it’s contractually stipulated that Grace picks out Tiffany’s clothes?

[quote]R102 No, De Niro and Hightower divorced in 2018.

^^ Wouldn’t last a DAY as De Niro’s assistant!

They have never divorced. When a call comes through from Mrs. De Niro, that’s Hightower on the line.

Collect your belongings, security will see you out.

Graham went to the emergency room after a fire had potentially broken out at De Niro’s townhouse.

"I had run into Bob's townhouse when there was a possible fire, and dealt with the situation where I ended up in the emergency room, because my name was listed as the emergency contact for ADT," she began. "Bob had requested that. I ended up in the emergency room, and a couple days later, I tried to discuss with him taking my name off of the ADT."

"He said that I was complaining and that he didn't want to hear it. And I was just trying to facilitate having somebody else's name and number on the ADT system. He hung up, he called back, he berated me more, and he just said that I was acting like a little b--ch. And I hung up."

De Niro acknowledged Tuesday that he did "berate" Robinson once when she apparently didn't wake him for an important meeting.

"Yeah, fine, I berated her," He agreed he might have used the words "petulant," "snippy" and "f---king spoiled brat" at the time.

Robinson's attorney Andrew Macurdy also asked De Niro whether he called Robinson a "b---h to her face."

"I was never abusive, ever," the actor snapped back, though he conceded that he might have used the word in conversations with her.

Among other assertions, Robinson claimed De Niro called her twice during a family member's funeral and once asked the assistant to bring him a martini from Nobu at 11 p.m. De Niro denied he knew Robinson was at a funeral when he called,

[quote] Among other assertions, Robinson claimed De Niro called her twice during a family member's funeral and once asked the assistant to bring him a martini from Nobu at 11 p.m. De Niro denied he knew Robinson was at a funeral when he called,

Big fucking deal!!!!!

That's exactly what a celebrity assistant does!!

And I guarantee that other celebrity assistants have it much, much worse for less pay.

If this cunt didn't want to be an assistant, then there were HUNDREDS of other up-and-coming people who would be more than willing to be Robert DeNiro's assistant, do exactly what he asked, and would be happy doing it.

God, I hate this fucking bitch.

HIRE A MAN!!! You won't have to deal with this bullshit, Robert.

Would it kill Tiffany to smile for even one photo?

Grace is no raving beauty either.

Tiffany looks Blasian.

His last good looking partner was Toukie Smith.

He was also hot for Whitney and Naomi.

So, why is the wife usually wearing sunglasses? And a big frown.

In some of those pictures of Mr & Mrs, he looks like an old coot and she looks like his keeper.

Yikes.

I think Tiffany looks 100% Asian. She comes from a martial arts family so maybe that's why she never smiles.

Maybe she also has Samoan background. They tend to be darker skinned and hefty. When I saw those pictures with the sunglasses, could have sworn she had African American background.

The whole concept of the "personal assistant" is something I'd rather not even have to think about.

What is the going rate for a celebrity personal assistant? I've known a few and most celebs are cheap and very fickle. Under 100k and you can get fired on a moment's notice for the most trivial things. I don't know if even corporate personal assistants are paid 300k.

Would Bobby ask a male assistant to scratch his back? Don't get me wrong, I would scratch the hell out of his back for $300K.

If you're not happy and feel like you're being abused there's a simple solution. Quit.

Current baby mama is what I think you mean, R99. Another geezer dad like Pacino.

R126, correct but I really thought they were married which surprised me because most if not all of his women were black.

What are the qualifications required to be a celeb assistant? What kind of degree and work background would the job call for? How would you apply for such a position? Enquiring minds want to know.

R128, I don't know about today but before, it was who you knew or you worked for a Hollywood employment agency.

Robinson claims she was on call, meaning she had to be available for De Niro 24/7, since she began the job in 2008. According to the lawsuit, Robinson typically worked between 7am and 8pm on weekdays, working through breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She also allegedly often worked during weekends, accruing approximately 20 to 30 hours of overtime per week without receiving overtime pay. This work included things she argued shouldn’t have been part of her role, such as housekeeping, as well as tasks such as scratching her boss’ back.

Notably, Robinson made US$300,000 a year by the time she resigned – a significant amount of money for an assistant, considering Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, recently advertised for an assistant position paying up to US$80,000.

At 80 how healthy will this baby be?

[QUOTE]considering Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, recently advertised for an assistant position paying up to US$80,000

I don't have enough pokey or googly eyes out emojis to even express startlement that the thing was even remotely tolerated.

Ah, well. All woll be known.

What’s up with his girlfriend? There is a story there for sure. She looks like a handler of some sort.

[quote]And then, “I’m so lonely….I don’t think my wife loves me anymore. Nobody loves me! I’m all by myself! Why am I depressed and all by myself at 3 am? It’s not fair! I might as well kill myself!”

Sounds like Danny Devito a few years back.

Juicy emails and texts are released. Unfortunately they are on the MailOnline site only so far.

To Robinson’s face, Chen had been deeply complimentary. “You are really such an angel,” she texted Robinson after the assistant had gone to the couple’s Upper West Side townhouse to take some pots off the stove Chen had left simmering, setting off the alarms. On the stand, Chen said her praise for Robinson was “sarcastic”.

R67 and r68 is correct. I worked for a non-celeb who was very rich, 70% of what he just described it typical. Down to a report of the dog poop size, color and consistency. Calls at all hours, emotional support including spending the night in the guest bedroom just because she didn't want to be alone. Lots of hospital visits for nothing serious and then there was the constant talk about suicide. Which really did a number on me because her other medical people did say she attempted it 3 times in the past. It got to the point where I was afraid not to pick up the phone at 3AM in case it was her calling to talk about jumping off the edge of her cliff house. Dont even get me started on all the prescription drugs I had to get her. I didnt have to break any laws, but damn, the list was a page long. Worst of all she took all are advice from some online "life coach".

She took years off my life and I got paid nothing nearly as much as 300,000. Not even 50,000.

So Ms. Chen might leave the sunglasses on to disguise druggy eyes? Pots left simmering? Yeah.

In one reading, the tale being told is straight from Rebecca – the housekeeper, Mrs Danvers, who refuses to accept the new wife and does everything in her power to undermine the intruder.

On the other, it’s an executive assistant tasked, as Robinson said on the stand, with answering to the family’s very demanding needs 24/7 on a dedicated cellphone – “the batphone”. It was, she testified, “connected to me”, she had “no personal space” and the job was “difficult and draining”.

THAT IS THE FUCKING JOB, YOU DUMB CUNT!

What part of that didn't she understand?

Did she want the $300,000 annual salary for free? For doing nothing???

Motherfucking Karen.

do these women peg him or what? they are ugly as fuck and look so butch!

After reading more at the DM - texts and emails, coverage of DeNiro's petulant outbursts on the stand, etc - I've come to the conclusion that everybody involved is insufferable.

Case dismissed.

DeNiro should countersue this dumb twat for his attorney's fees and for wasting his time.

It’s high time De Niro was cancelled. This is the perfect opportunity.

I do think he berated her, called her names, was demanding and inconsiderate, but part of that comes with the territory. I’m sure she was unhappy but not too unhappy for 300k.

I don’t know how close they were, but hearing your boss peeing while your talking shows a bit of disrespect, but nothing to sue over. And the back scratch would be too intimate for me as I’m not a touchy-freely person. I would never ask an employee to do that.

In secret audio recordings played in court made by Robinson, she and a co-worker could be heard comparing notes on De Niro's current and former love interests.

The executive assistant, who enjoyed lavish perks like, free air travel, $15,000 Christmas bonuses, and a Rolex watch — compliments of De Niro — on her birthday, must also defend herself from the "Taxi Driver" actor's countersuit claiming she stole from him and breached her fiduciary duty to his company.

Lawyers for De Niro on Monday sought to show that Robinson used her company benefits for her personal gain, including flying to London on the actor's dime so she could pitch her own film project to a producer there.

I watched Amber Hurd's PA's testimony during the Depp trial. Crazy demands to do things normal people do far themselves and then complaining when they PA charged a burger and fries to the Depp acct at the Chateaus Marmont for her kid on a Sunday while catering to Miss Turd and her entourage flouncing around the pool.

Graham has bad things to say about Jane Rosenthal, De Niro's producing partner, as well. Not sure how that is relevant but anyway ...

The ambitious assistant hoped to leverage her position as the actor's high-paid gofer into a career in film development and producing, but she thought Rosenthal was holding her back.

De Niro's lawyers showed the jury a list that enumerated all of the slights she suffered from Rosenthal.

Her gripes range from not being acknowledged in Tribeca productions she assisted with to vague statements, like "Vendetta against me" and "Picks on me."

Robinson testified on Friday that she had heard De Niro refer to Rosenthal as a "bitch" and "cunt."

She misheard me.

I meant to call Chase Robinson the BITCH and CUNT!

Clearly, Bobby is a DL’er.

He wasn't that bad, he gave cash bonus and rolex watch for birthday ffs!!! Did your boss ever give you that?

I think they had a close relationship and he trusted her. she betrayed him

SHAME

SHAME

SHAME

Shame on you!

R144 = FRAU

at least he didn't walk around with a bathrobe open etc?

did she say she's seen his cock?

We've established that he was a very generous employee and she held the job for a while. What is she suing for? Was she fired?

How come DeNiro has never played a gay man on film? He should be cancelled just for that alone.

R161- How come when he was at his peak hotness ca. 1983 he never played a scene FULL FRONTAL. He should be cancelled just for that alone.

He did go nude, R162.

Not sure what movie this was from, though.

I couldn't figure out who the other guy is in the clip at R163.

It's Gerard Depardieu!!!!

Wow, it's amazing how much he looked like DeNiro when they were both younger. I could barely tell them apart.

Also, both dicks are about the same size, and they're both cut.

That is from Bertolucci's 1900.

R163- I remembered he was full frontal naked in 1900 and in that Vietnam era movie- after I had posted my response.

He had such a NICE bod in that scene in 1900.

Hell hath no fury like an ex assistant with a lawyer.

[quote] his current wife is Asian

Yes it's true. They're much more submissive and agreeable women.

Over 50 years ago Streisand meet a young woman who worked as a nanny at the time. Noticing a mark on her arm Streisand asked her about it. Having been biten by a rattlesnake the woman had cut herself with a knife and sucked out the venom herself.

"I knew rigth then and there that i wanted that woman in my life"

Babs in her bio on why she hired her PA Renata,who must have an iron spine -having to schlepp the clones around.

After everything I read here- I would have to say though this person is far from an angel that I am on

Team DeNiro

If he’s #cancelled at least he’ll stop making shitty comedies.

He can do Shakespeare in the park or something.

R171-

I LOVED Meet The Fockers

Are you kidding? De Niro played a trans shut in who lived next to a disfigured music teacher. Look it up!

[quote] Are you kidding? De Niro played a trans shut in who lived next to a disfigured music teacher. Look it up!

Ummm, you might want to look it up.

I think you have switched the roles in Flawless. An ultraconservative security guard (De Niro) suffers a debilitating stroke and is assigned to a rehabilitative program that includes singing lessons with the drag queen next door (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

[auote] It's DL, [R68], you can tell us who this dog-doo-obsessed celebrity is.

I will tell you this. She’s dead now. She was very big in show biz as a star and was also a producer.

This PA worked for DeNiro for 11 years and that’s pretty impressive, He can’t have been such a bad boss, or she’d have quit. It’s not like she’s trying to climb the corporate ladder and he’s her boss chasing her around the desk who won’t promote her unless she sleeps with him. He’s the only person she has to answer to.

I’ve never known a PA who worked for someone that long.

Robert De Niro's daughter allegedly sent an intimidating text to his former assistant as she testified in the ongoing gender discrimination trial against him.

Graham Chase Robinson's legal team shared the text she received Sunday after she took the stand Thursday and Friday in court. The message seemingly came from one of De Niro's daughters, according to the screenshot of the text that included the contact suggestion on the iPhone.

"You disgusting little beast," the text, obtained by Fox News Digital, read. "You have nothing better to do with your pathetic life than destroy an 80-year-old man's life for money. You piece of s--t. He lost a grandson only four months ago. Has to deal with a scumbag like you. Sickening. Hopefully you and your family will suffer, like you have made so many suffer."

Wow, I love that at R177!

That's exactly the type of text I would send, if someone was hurting my loved one.

Fuck this Graham Chase Robinson bitch.

She IS a BEAST.

I'm glad that everyone is getting to see her dragged through the mud.

The ultimate satisfaction will be when she is awarded ZERO DOLLARS by the court.

#Justice4Chase

omg. he's been found NOT liable! but his production company has to pay money to her

Robert De Niro's company found liable in gender discrimination lawsuit filed by former assistant

How much did the thieving cunt get?

I wouldn’t have found them guilty. You have no idea what my coworkers and I endured in the 1980s and 1990s. We complained and …nothing. Our bosses were terrible. One brought in a sledgehammer and broke down a partition wall he didn’t like. They never replaced it.

Imagine Captain Quint from JAWS, only smart. Like, genius level. That’s what it was like. Remember when Captain Quint pulled the radio out of the boat and threw it overboard? It was like that every day.

r182 $1.26 million

Fucking CUNT!

The lawyers get half. $600k is not much and she won't be very employable. Does she have family money?

Eleven years is a long time to employ someone before realizing they're a problem. Was there an event that triggered the deterioration of the relationship?

I am laughing at this piddly amount of a court-ordered award. It might as well be $1.

[quote] It might as well be $1.

It should have been only $1 for the gold-digging ROTTEN CUNT!

#DeNiroCancelled

it’s all over the internet

Well we found the resident misogynist. You’re way too invested and hysterical, dude. Get a grip.

Honestly, being a certain type of celebrity’s full time assistant could well drive you to … just about anything. Yes, she was very well compensated later in her tenure and I hope she set a lot of that aside. But seriously, I can imagine PTSD. (And I was just a regular, rich alcoholic’s part time assistant for 5 months.)

It's more than one person, DUDE.

The jury was only 7 people. Is that normal?

After the legal fees and expenses, she'll be lucky to get half that.

Team DeNiro.

R193, in NYC, for civil cases, you get a six-person jury (plus, I assume, one alternate).

Can he appeal? Should he?

[quote]But seriously, I can imagine PTSD

Well it's a good thing she was making enough while employed to hire a shrink.

R196 - De Niro should remake 12 Angry Men. Oh wait the kid was innocent in that.

Outside the courtroom, a lawyer for Mr. De Niro and his company, Richard C. Schoenstein, said he was pleased that the jury did not find Mr. De Niro himself at fault, saying, “Mr. De Niro has been exonerated.” He said he was not yet sure whether Canal would appeal the ruling. Mr. De Niro was not in the courtroom for the verdict.

After Ms. Robinson’s resignation, Canal employees scrutinized her spending on a company Amex card; the company ultimately alleged in its lawsuit that in the final two years or so of her employment, Ms. Robinson improperly spent more than $12,600 of the company’s money at an Italian restaurant near her home on the Upper East Side, about $32,000 on car services and nearly $9,000 on personal food items. The company also objected to her charging it for 62 vacation days that she claimed were unused over about three years.

Ms. Robinson asserted that nothing she charged had been unauthorized and that her company credit card also reflected charges by and for others at the office. She testified that she and her boss had had several discussions about the perks she was allowed, which she said included converting Canal’s credit card points into personal airline miles and ordering Ubers instead of using the subway so she could always be available for his calls. (Once, she testified, he called at around 11 p.m. asking for a martini from Nobu, the upscale restaurant franchise of which Mr. De Niro is a founder.)

She also testified that Mr. De Niro had agreed to let her transfer all of the company’s credit card points over to airline miles, though the actor acknowledged allowing only a certain number of miles, testifying that it had perhaps been “a million or two.”

I hope this bitch never works again.

Take your ill-gotten money and choke on it!

[quote]r191 But seriously, I can imagine PTSD

[quote]R198 Well it's a good thing she was making enough while employed to hire a shrink.—Oh well. Her choice.

Are you really that naive? If visiting a therapist removed all trauma, we’d all be singing and dancing around maypoles in the streets all day.

Sadly, such is not the case.

R203 Excuse Me?

I don't understand how they can decide Robert de is innocent yet the company has to pay her off. Isn't he the company?

[quote]Are you really that naive? If visiting a therapist removed all trauma, we’d all be singing and dancing around maypoles in the streets all day.

Please don't equate being called a bitch with seeing someone get blown up in front of you after stepping on a land mine.

well, if he's belittling her every day, and being verbally abusive, then it can have a negative effect long term

R207, she eventually quit, which was the right thing to do. But she stuck it out for a long time and was paid handsomely for it.

What baffles me is how after 10 plus years working for DeNiro..

how she couldn't adjust ..... it

it seems like she could have hired an assistant at 15.00 an hour to do all the shit errands she didnt want to do.

I know someone who worked for Sting but they didn’t make anywhere near $300k/yr. But Sting has offices (or at least he *had* offices) in NY and London. He had a pretty big staff because he does a lot of charity funding.

sting has small penis

R209 - but then the company would have the cover another employee with insurance and benefits.

Sting is into tantric sex. I'll take it!

Hey Deniro’s social media team: your boss is a Dick
