Robert De Niro erupts in court during legal battle with former assistant
By Ian YoungsEntertainment & arts reporter
Robert De Niro shouted " shame on you" at his former assistant across a courtroom, as he rejected claims that he was an abusive and demeaning boss.
The Star was speaking on The Second day of a civil trial in which he and Graham Chase Robinson are suing each other.
De Niro insisted he was " never abusive" but admitted he could have called Her a " brat" when he missed an appointment because she did not wake him up.
" I got angry that One Time , " He Said ,
The Raging Bull and Taxi Driver actor accepted that he " berated Her " on that occasion and was " upset" but not abusive.
In testimony that was at times bad-tempered, De Niro dismissed Ms Robinson's suggestions that Her time working for him was one of endless servitude,
" She implies that she's out in front of The Building on Her knees scrubbing the floor, " He Said .
" There was never any lewdness or disrespect or weirdness that you're trying to imply, " De Niro said, before looking at Her and exclaiming: " Shame on you, Chase Robinson! "
He conceded that he had asked Her to scratch his back once or twice when he had an itch in a spot he could not reach, but said " it was never done with any disrespect".
Among other things, Ms Robinson has also said he once asked Her to deliver a martini from the Nobu restaurant to him in an Uber late at night.
" Might have been, " De Niro replied, arguing that the use of an Uber was justified.
When asked about calling Her twice because he wanted Her to buy his teenage son a bus ticket, The Actor replied: " So?" He denied knowing she was at A Family member's funeral at The Time .
'Stereotypically female' tasksMs Robinson became The Actor 's assistant in 2008, before being promoted to vice-president of production and finance at his company Canal Productions.
She left in 2019 and sued The Double Oscar winner for $12m (£9. 8m).
Ms Robinson claims he underpaid Her because she's A Woman , made sexist comments, treated Her like an " office wife" and assigned Her " stereotypically female" tasks like mending clothing and doing laundry.
Her allegations were " all nonsense".
He is suing Ms Robinson for $6m, accusing Her of improperly transferring More Than $450,000 in airline miles to Her personal account, spending tens of thousands of dollars of company money on food, travel and other Personal Services , and binge-watching Netflix at work.
Her lawyers have said his lawsuit is full of " false allegations". The New York trial is expected to last for Two Weeks .
