• Robert De Niro demands a female employee to see 55 episodes of Friends in four days at work

Graham Chase Robinson , a former employee of Robert de Niro's producer whom the actor sued in summer, has counterattacked with his own legal action against the protagonist of 'The Hunter' for gender discrimination, harassment and emotional abuse . Robinson, the former vice president of production and finance for Canal Productions, says De Niro "is someone who does not accept the idea that men should treat women as equals" and that he touched her without permission several times.

In the lawsuit, it is assured that the legendary actor is someone clinging to his "old customs" who does not care that "gender discrimination at work violates the laws. Mrs. Robinson is a victim of that attitude." He also alleges that the New York actor insulted her repeatedly and made her his wife in the office, forced to attend to his personal issues.

"Among other things, De Niro asked Robinson to scratch his back, fasten his shirts, fix his necks, tie his knots and wake him when he was in bed," denounces the lawsuit filed in a New Court York He also accuses him of remaining impassive while other teammates touched his ass.

Thats not all. In the documentation presented vulgarities, jokes in bad taste about the amount of viagra that the actor took, or suggesting that he use the sperm of a partner, a married man, to get pregnant are collected. Finally, tired of so much abuse by De Niro, she resigned her position in April 2019 among alleged threats if she took such a step.

In total, the executive claims $ 12 million of compensation for various charges of labor law violations in the state of New York. All this after the lawyers of the producer of De Niro filed a lawsuit for 6 million dollars against Robinson this summer.

She is accused of a manifest loss of time during work hours for watching television series, specifically, 55 chapters of Friends in four business days . He also "wasted astronomical amounts of time watching Netflix during work hours."

To that they added excessive expenses in hotels and restaurants at the expense of the company . In total, $ 21,619 in restaurant bills and another $ 32,000 for taxis on behalf of the company. Robinson's salary reflected in the demand was $ 300,000 a year.
