Robert De Niro Faces Emotional Courtroom Showdown with Former Assistant, Seeks Millions in Damages
New York City – In a dramatic turn of events, renowned actor and producer Robert De Niro was seen shouting “Shame on you!” at his former executive assistant and vice-president, Graham Chase Robinson, during a heated court session on Tuesday. This legal battle has captivated the attention of the public, as De Niro vehemently denies all claims of abuse made against him.
Robinson, who once worked closely with the legendary actor, is seeking a staggering $12 million in damages for emotional distress and reputational harm. She alleges that her interactions with De Niro’s girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, ultimately led to her resignation. Robinson claims that her departure was a result of the strain it put on De Niro, damaging their professional relationship.
This conflict between the former colleagues took a contentious turn last year, when De Niro filed a lawsuit against Robinson, accusing her of various misdeeds. The actor claimed that she stole from him, including airline points and even watched TV shows during working hours. These accusations only added fuel to an already escalating dispute.
During the ongoing trial, De Niro passionately denied accusations that he urinated while speaking on the phone with Robinson or that he called her during a family member’s funeral. He also distanced himself from allegations of verbal abuse, insisting that Robinson’s claims were baseless. Furthermore, the actor categorically refuted her account that he preferred her to scratch his back rather than using a device.
The trial, which commenced on an intense note, is expected to continue until November 10th, staying under the scrutiny of international media. As De Niro and his former assistant present their arguments before the court, all eyes are on the possible outcome of this high-profile case.
