THE ANGELS.-The coronavirus pandemic and his ex’s high lifestyle are ruining Robert de Niro. That is the conclusion reached by the actor’s lawyer, Caroline Krauss.
In a recent virtual hearing in the divorce proceedings of the Hollywood star with Grace Hightower, which is still being settled in the Manhattan courts, Krauss has exposed a very dramatic situation of the finances of the protagonist of The Irishman.
The lawyer has revealed the complicated situation that her client is going through: “Mr. Robert De Niro is 77 years old, and although he loves his trade, he should not be forced to work at this prodigious pace because he has to.
When will that end? When will you have a chance to maybe not take on all the projects that come your way? Or not working six days a week for 12 hours a day just to keep up with Miss Hightower’s thirst for Stella McCartney? ”He said, referring to the expensive tastes of his 65-year-old ex-wife.
“De Niro could get sick tomorrow, and the party will be over,” he decided forcefully.
The situation
A very different vision of the situation has the lawyer of the other party, that of his ex Grace Hightower, which denies that the actor’s accounts are at that dramatic point.
“Mr. De Niro made $ 5 million for acting in the hit movie The Irishman; she spent $ 450,000 on a summer rental in Amagansett in 2019, she also spent $ 150,000 on a Thanksgiving vacation and a million on her adult children in 2019 and 2020, ”according to Fox News.
Last July, Robert De Niro’s lawyers already argued before the courts that the coronavirus crisis had decimated his income, so he had decided to reduce the monthly credit limit of the American Express card to his ex-wife from 100,000 to 50,000 dollars (from 88,000 to 44,000 euros).
Spousal support
According to the actor’s legal representatives, his high finances would not have withstood the pandemic and he had been forced to reduce the spousal support for Grace Hightower by 50%.
Considered the best actor of his generation and a Hollywood legend, the interpreter has spent years focused on projects that, in the eyes of critics and viewers, are damaging his image and his film legacy.
